Review
Not as groovy as previously identified. This "Barbie" title might as well not be a barbie game at all. Sure it tags Barbie as a playable character, but there's not much if any connection between the gameplay and the icon whatsoever. This is another one of those "minigames" games where the action takes place between 9 minigames this time. TicTacToe, Connect 4, and Card Memory return along with a few others. The action is very short and earnestly, the only game that gave me a bit of trouble was connect 4. There's an easy way to beat that I guess but I kept playing it the hard one. The music is basic and bland, and to top it off.. THERE'S NO CREDITS!! I'd mark this one as a hard avoid. Feels like a jcpenny game that came with the purchase of a beanie baby or something.

All in All, Groovy Games earned a 2.5 score for it's lower than basic design standards. No Replay Value. Cut&Paste minigames. Boring. Dull. Waste of Time. Barbie moniker could've been literally anything else, replaceable.

TimeMage's verdict:
