Rating:  - Pretty Disappointing
In the words of my 6 year old niece: "This is Really Boring (sigh)".Does being able to choose the color of the ice and Barbie's outfit compensate for what is a fairly limited program with mediocre (at best) graphics? In the eyes of that young Barbie devotee, obviously not. To make matters worse, the game's producers apparently decided to create a "multilingual" product by relying on icons without any text for most operations. This approach often makes it quite hard to determine what each does without the manual. Can't you just discover the actions of different buttons you wonder? Well, the game designers often chose to not provide any feedback that something was happening that may take a while. No hourglass, no clock, no spinning skater cursor. So for those operations that take more than a few seconds (e.g. loading a new scene) the player ends up thinking their click did nothing and they try clicking something else with unpredictable results. Frustrating. A final word about the graphics. Sure you can dress her and her friends in five different outfits, but shouldn't we expect something a little more than 640x480 resolution these days? It didn't crash, but you should save your money. If you could skate Barbie into a wall it MIGHT have been worth it. After 45 minutes with this program, that is what BOTH of us wanted to do.

This was a Christmas gift. The Sparkling ice show is wonderful!!! My daughter plays with it all the time! There are different levels of the game. Once you master them, you can create beautiful skating shows and save them. Works the childs coordination and motor skills. Beautiful costumes (25),15 choices of music and 3 pretty skaters all for your child to pick and chose for themselves. It's a wonderful product!!! Highly recommend!!! Gail M. Milwaukee, WI...Peace!!!
