Bad skating technique [Posted on 2004-01-25]
I didn't buy this game, becuase I can tell by the pictures that Barbie has very bad skating technique (see below). This game is not for kids who want to have fun while seeing a good skating program.

Pictures on Amazon
1) Box picture -- I can't tell whether or not Barbie is stroking or doing a bad spiral? Either her leg is too high if she is stroking, or her body and leg are not in the right position if she is doing a spiral.
2) Layback -- Although it's hard to see, it looks like Barbie might be spinning on her toe pick.
3) Split jump -- Barbie does not have enough skating muscle for the jump. She is also not kicking her boots up.
Pictures on vugames (makers of the game)
1) Stroking -- Barbie's body is crooked. She doesn't have her weight over her stroking leg, and her body is leaning to the side. I've never seen anyone stroke like this.

Not just for little kids! [Posted on 2004-02-15]
"Barbie Sparkling Ice Show" is a fabolous game and can really inspire creativity and imagination, and that's coming from someone whose 13 years old! This game allows you to pick routines, music, costumes, and fun stuff like decorations and ice color and put it all together to make fabolous routines for Barbie, Christie, and Teresa on the five stops of the Sparkling Ice Tour. But once you finish the tour, the fun doesn't end there- you can continue on skaiting cool exhibition shows using all of the details of previous shows.

To work the game, you start off by preparing for the first stop of the tour and practice a routine that you pick out of a few selections with the skater you have chosen. You can pick from three levels: easy, intermediate, or hard, and each one provides more challenges than the next. If you skate the routine well and do a good job, you will be able to do all the "good stuff"- choosing your music, costume, decorations, etc. for the tour. The game continues on like this for different tour stops such as Rose Garden and Island Paradise, with your goal to make it to the secret surprise location where you can even create your own routine.

I found this game to be a lot of fun and not at all boring. Granted, it may be a little bit too easy to get through all the tour stops, but the fun doesn't stop since you can create a user name and start all over again or continue doing skating exhibitions. It is a fabolous game for all figure-skating and Barbie fans, not to mention that it is so much fun! Anyone ages 5 and up will enjoy this wonderful game.

Not for 8 year olds and up [Posted on 2004-12-12]
This game interesting. It has good graphics and nice music. But if youre my age lets re-think the fun part. All you do is press up and down on the keybord and maybe you would hit the space bar. Well if your child likes challenging games well don't get this for them. THIS IS FOR A PRESCHOOLER!!!!

Barbie's Sparkling ice show is fun! [Posted on 2006-07-28]
Barbie sparkling ice show is really cool. First,You're on a 'sparkling ice tour' you get 3 skaters:Barbie,Teresa, and Christie. And then you choose a routine and a skater.Second,you do a ''practice routine''(as far as I can remember)in which you(what else?)practice your routine.There's a little meter next to Barbie(whichever skater you choose) ,you have to match the color on the meter to the color of the path,vice versa.And then, you do your show with clothes,music,etc.Then you do your show and when you're done move on to other places.(my favorite is in the sky).You keep doin' this until you reach the end and then you can do an exebition show (if that's how to spell it).And either you keep doin' exebition shows or else sign-in with a different name.The two complants I have is that the game should have more skaters and places.Also,I can only do the tour once unless I sign-in with a different name. I have this game on my computer and it works wonderfully,no bugs. For me, the graphics are beutiful and it feels like I'm there with Barbie! Oh,and I wish,at the end of the show,they(it) could throw the roses at Barbie in a more realistic motion.:) I mean,in my view,it looks like they are opening two invisible crates of roses next to Barbie and the roses all''gush''out at Barbie's feet! :D Over all,Great and Highly Recommended! I play it for hours on end! (: 'BARBIE LOVER' :)
