the games are in their original resolution, which is extremely low and unreadable/ unplayable on a modern 1080p/4K setup. The LCD filter improves it somewhat but it's still difficult to play. I was expecting an upscaled remaster with modern controls. The controls are very difficult to figure out at first , as the controls shown on screen are different from the keyboard setup.

update: asking for refund, i was excited for this game but it's not playable.

At its current state, it pains me to say it but this has too many bugs to be considered a GTA 6 killer. What could've been a cute decoration game with classic Barbie games ended up being yet another messy launch for Digital Eclipse.


- You get stuff, you place stuff, you unlock stuff by playing games, this is the main part of this game and its fine I guess. Problem here is that audio can stop playing at random and at times it can play one song over another in real time, really making you FEEL like you're stuck in a limbo where all you can do is get furniture and drown your sorrow in video games. Speaking of which...


- The reason I got this because I am a sucker for PS1 Barbie, unfortunately even these are messed up. One good thing is that some load times have been cut off, but universal problem here is that internal resolution cannot be changed and for the most part it looks really bad, tolerable for people who play old games but still. As for specific problems I can only list these so far:

1. Super Sports, Snowboarding has random audio hiccups and Rollerblading has a whole second of delay for SFX.

2. Detective Barbie, background noise randomly stops playing, making this one of the scariest games ever made, I'd rather have a trip to silent hill than a game where I can't even hear the waves of the ocean I'm in the middle of.

3. Related to Decoration, none of the challenges seem to register to unlock more furniture. I finished both of these games and yet the game doesn't know I did.


I don't get what's the deal with Digital Eclipse and their allergy to anything above PS1, I thought this wouldn't include games based off of movies because of licensing and whatever but 12 Dancing Princesses has a GBA version but no PC/PS2? Why? I know some other games like Fashion Show which isn't based on anything but includes licensed music, as much as it pains me I could SORT OF understand, but not this. Don't lower the BAR on BARBIE.

refunded. please save your money and emulate what's already out there until this becomes worth the price, which is currently trying to justify itself with functionless cosmetics and a historical overview of games they apparently didn't find notable enough to actually port.

we deserve so much more; custom keybinds, dvd special features, ds games, and the other titles that they bragged they released to revolutionize the girl gaming industry cannot be that tall of a demand, for all of their point-and-clickness.
