OMG! High School: Mean Girls, Clueless, Pretty in Pink
© 2009 Legacy Games
If you liked the movies, you'll more than likely like this three-pack of interactive comic books targeting teen girls. Once you put in the disk, you see a menu with separate install and uninstall options, all which worked in a very straightforward manner on our Windows computer. The Pretty In Pink game takes you on a trip back to the 1980's with Andie and friends in a scavenger-hunt adventure with hidden object, logic, and puzzle games. Your goal is to recreate the classic romantic triangle between Andie, Duckie and Blane while collecting hidden items, such as prom items and clothing. Content features 49 levels in 10 locations, plus six minigames. In the Clueless game, you are Cher, who is on a timed search for true love and good looks. Content includes 500 fashion items (tops, dresses, pants, shoes and accessories) found in 80 levels. Minigames include Fashion Memory Mode, where you match styles of outfits, and Concave Pavilion Photo Shoot where you dress your model, choose her position and location, and can then export the image to share with friends. Mean Girls is an interactive comic book set in North Shore High. You're the new girl who must decide how to unite or control the school by playing either naughty or nice with the other students. Your ultimate goal is to achieve perfect social harmony or total domination of the school. The game is set up like a game board, that requires defeating the other players in a bejeweled-like game. Content includes 25 battles with 40 teen characters, in 12 locations. The goal is to unlock skills that you can use to customize your battle strategy. In each game, a standard sign-in system lets you save your progress. All in all, you get a lot of content for the money. Like the movies, these games contain a similar focus on boys, fashion and social manipulation -- all areas of prime interest for teen girls. Note the ESRB descriptors. While the other games in the set are rated E10+, Mean Girls is rated T.
