GOOD INTRODUCTION TO DESIGNING [Posted on 2008-04-03]
This game is a good introduction for young folks in designing fashion. I like the concept it has for "assignments" where you have to please a client in their requests for fashions.

The designer has to come up with make-up, clothes and sometimes accessories and hair styles to pass the assignment to move on to the next task.

I didn't find anything in this to be particularly suggestive or even suggest nudity or anything out of the ordinary in dealing with clothing or the dressing of models.

I recommend this game. Especially young folks will love it. I thought it was kind of fun and I'm an adult!

A Bit of a Letdown [Posted on 2008-04-11]
I was really excited about receiving this game for my birthday (13th) and was a little disappointed with the game. It is still quite fun, but probably not worth thirty dollars.

You are the head of an agency and are required to do certain tasks (some of which have clues that are difficult and hard to figure out, but every time you have to redo it, you lose everything. So if only one thing on the makeup was wrong, you have to fix it, AND redo the dressing, photo shoot, and 5 catwalks THAT TAKE FOREVER!) The free mode is more fun, as you are unlimited in terms of everything.

The workshops include hair (picking between few styles and colors), beauty (picking between few, premade makeup looks), dressing (putting clothes on the model), designing (picking between a few different cuts on a premade design. A bit dissappointed considering there is a TOUCH SCREEN!!!!), catwalk (a few mundane mini games that cause your model to perform well or not), and photography (the fun one, where you choose how the model looks, poses, where, what shade, etc. Then click, you have a photo). The photo shop is the best part of the game by far, while the rest is DEFINITELY aimed at a younger audience.

Overall, this game is iffy. It has it's good points, and would be good for a younger age if not for the frustrating clues (or lack of).

Also, I would like to report a problem. When I take out this game on my lite after playing and insert another game, it says that there is no game pak inserted. So every time, I have to put it back in, take it out, and reinsert the other game. Talk about frustrating! This happened with every Imagine game I've tried!

I am glad I have the game for certain parts, but also glad I didn't pay for it! Consider this carefully before buying. P.S. The graphics are not impressive! Try Animal Crossing Wild World for impressive! Love it!

9 year-old girl's opinion [Posted on 2008-05-09]
I really liked this game because it gives you the chance to show how you feel about fashion. I recommend it for young teenagers who like fashion and might want to be a designer or model when they grow up. Before you can start a collection, you have to pass tests to unlock all the stations. Then you can start a collection. I hope you enjoy this game if you get it because I enjoyed it very much.

great game [Posted on 2008-06-07]
This game is fun. The japanese shots are a little hard though.The graphics are also a little grainy. If your daaughter is in to designing and stuff, this is your game

Good for younger girls [Posted on 2008-06-08]
If you want a video game for a girl under 13 then this one is it. It took me (I'm 29) about 3 hours to complete the whole game (the "Blue" Challenge took me forever!!) but I imagine a younger girl will be entertained with this for much longer. If you have a girl older than 13 then you might want to get her something a little more challenging, unless all she wants to do is design clothes instead of complete missions. The patterns the game comes loaded with are kind of ugly so I mainly stuck to the plain colors. I wish there was more of a sweater collection and more jewelry than just necklaces. Over all, I think this is a good game for young girls and I'd recommend it.
