This one-player scavenger hunt is based on the adventures of four teen divas (the Bratz) as they worry about fashion, makeup, and other stuff that most that parents probably don't want their teen daughters to be worried about. We'll leave that judgment to you. In the Windows version of this game, your first goal is to help one of the Bratz girls at a fashion magazine. The idea is to explore the offices of the magazine, collecting items in order to keep the editors happy. Another game has you mixing the ingredients of a "Smoothie" by grabbing correct ingredients as they quickly pass by. There's plenty of sorting, matching, and trying on different outfits. The activities vary in quality—from fair to poor, and games can be saved. We would like to see more flexibility to the problem-solving strategies and feel that the educational value is minimal. For avid fans of the show; perhaps. Otherwise pass. Other versions run on PS2, GameCube and GBA.
