Customer Reviews

Danger! Danger! Warning, Will Robinson
Shame on the UBISoft for failing to describe ALL of the features of this game! And, for recommending it for ages as young as 5 years old. My 8-year old daughter LOVES this game. I thought "Great! She has another outlet for her creativity." Then, she invited me to watch the action as she completed tasks . . . The tasks ARE fun. I was enjoying watching until "Mark" started telling my daughter's character - "Emma" - that he was in love with her and wanted to be her boyfriend. "Emma" then had to decide whether to take on a boyfried at this time in her career, or stay focused. Next, a male "Director of Development" asked "Emma" if she was having "any problems" implying that she could confide in him and he would help. (I have to admit this creeped me out!) In my opinion, these scenarios/decisions are WAY TOO GROWN-UP for those under dating age! My daughter is very perceptive and I found myself having to explain office politics/pitfalls that she shouldn't have to think about for a long time.

Bottom line: The manufacturer's description and rating imply one type of game. The actual game is far more "mature". Parents, think carefully about whether these scenarios are appropriate for your child if they're not dating yet. Try to preview the game if you can.

Fun Game
Both me and my teenage daughter have been playing this game. It is a lot of fun. You work at a fashion company and they give you different jobs to do, such as designing a specific type of outfit, with certain makeup and hairstyles. My daughter has completed the game twice... I'm still working on my first go through.
Hope you enjoy it too.

NO WAY
This game puts adult situations in front of little girls. TERRIBLE!!! Our 9 year old daughter came to us and said she couldn't play the game any more because the two main characters were going to "live together"! Are you kidding me? WHY does that need to be in a game for kids? My daughter loves clothes and fashion, but even she knows you can have fun with design and not need to be in an implied sexual situation. Creepy and makes me wonder if pedophiles are writing these games. We will not buy any more games from imagine games.
