Customer Reviews

Good, not great -- lacks variety...but with plenty of reading
This game offers the "Cheetah" world to young girls on their DS. The game sports graphics typical of the DS, with decent sound-effects, and a high-quality soundtrack. The songs contained within the game are the original recordings, vocals and all.

The game requires a lot of reading, so for younger players, this game might prove challenging, especially since the language is for more advanced readers. Parents should expect to help younger players through the story mode, explaining what they need to do, and sometimes trying to figure out exactly what needs to be done. Unfortunately, it isn't always clear when starting a new challenge exactly what needs to be done. It requires some trial and error. Once you clear that hurdle, however, younger players will know exactly what they need to do and shouldn't require additional assistance. My 7-year old became frustrated during the first several days, so parents of younger girls are warned.

There are several challenges in the game. Play concentrates on using the DS stylus on the touch screen, clicking points and repeating sequences that are demonstrated during dance routines. There are rhythm challenges and memory games. There is also a "fashion" game in which the player is shown a piece of clothing and must duplicate them exactly. Everything is timed, and sometimes making just one or two mistakes can cause a frantic panic to complete the challenge. The player is rated based on performance and accuracy, so perfection isn't required. Rewards allow the player to shop for clothing and accessories. Fortunately, the player must learn to budget the rewards to get certain desired items.

The game is sometimes fast-paced and engages my daughter for about 30 minutes at a time, several times a week. It's not necessarily something that she absolutely must play, but when she does, she seems to enjoy it. It seems short, the challenges are fairly repetitive, and amount of text seems overwhelming, even for me. I'd recommend it for casual gaming, more suited for girls 9 or older.

The Cheetah Girls Passport To Stardom
This is a really great game and there are 3 levels of difficulty,Star,Diva and Superstar(I think).
Anyways after playing the game on all 3 difficultys and finishing it in less then 2 hours I found that for $30 I'd be better off buying the DS game w/ Candyland or Operation.
I know I am a MOM but my 10 year old also finished the game in the same amount of time as I did on all 3 levels of difficulty.I was shocked when the game ended so quickly.
I also finished Cheetah Girls 1 in 3 hours w/ 2 levels of difficulty,I would also like to add that these 2 games are the only 2 out of 200 between GBA and DSgames.
The game is kinda like the first one but less of to do list things and more of dancing singing competitions
Thats why I ordered the game in the 1st place I am into Rythym games and thought seeming they go to a few countries it would be much harder to beat on the hard mode,but way to easy even for a 10 year old,a msmart 10 year old but still price wise,it was a waste
