\"\"<\/a>For nearly every little girl who loves to play with Barbie dolls, the ultimate dream is to own Barbie\u2019s Dreamhouse, a giant dollhouse for Barbie and her friends.\u00a0 And now your little girl can have that dreamhouse without having to put in a second mortgage and spend all night putting it together with Barbie Dreamhouse Adventure. \u00a0It\u2019s basically a virtual dollhouse for the Switch. When I first popped this review copy into my Switch, the game seemed vaguely familiar.\u00a0 Turns out I reviewed this game five years ago when it was just a mobile app<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 But this version takes out all the in-game purchase crap and adds a bunch of new things, so that\u2019s good.\u00a0 As a 47 year old man, I don\u2019t have any interest in Barbie, but the franchise sure did get a boost of popularity this past year with that new live action movie that just came out (never saw it myself).\u00a0 But let\u2019s take a tour of Barbie\u2019s Dreamhouse and see what all you can do!<\/p>\n

I have to admit, Barbie has one cool house!\u00a0 She has a grill and a pool on the roof (the plumbing for that has to be a nightmare), and the stairs can turn into a slide with a ball pit at the bottom.\u00a0 Heck, even the kitchen has a 3-D food printer replicator.\u00a0 Man, we\u2019re getting into some Star Trek type stuff here.\u00a0 How far in the future does Barbie live?\u00a0 Other rooms include a music stage, dance floor, home theater, and Barbie\u2019s bedroom, which has a fashion stage, dress up closet, and a computer that would make any eSports fan jealous.\u00a0 There\u2019s also a bathroom with its very own salon, and a kid\u2019s room with a train and drawing station for Barbie\u2019s youngest sister (Barbie has sisters?).\u00a0 There is also a garden where you can grow flowers and trees, and then use them to make bouquets to decorate the house with.<\/p>\n

Play control is done by moving a cursor around the screen with the L stick and scrolling through the rooms with the right stick.\u00a0 There are icons you can click on to put Barbie and her friends and pets in various parts of the house, and drag and drop any food, flowers, and more wherever you want them.\u00a0 You can also paint walls and other things with various colors, and even implement some cool multicolored neon mood lighting.\u00a0 You can make your own little songs at the DJ station, mix various fashions at Barbie\u2019s virtual mirror, and even make greeting cards for Barbie\u2019s friends.\u00a0 Nothing really wrong with the game.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a virtual dollhouse at heart, so if you have a little girl who loves Barbie, they\u2019ll certainly enjoy this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed as Barbie give you tour around the house, telling you what everything does.\u00a0 But sometimes I did have a little trouble figuring out how to do certain things, like giving a greeting card I had made to Ken.\u00a0 While I don\u2019t think this game will replace physical play with a real dollhouse, this game would be a good compromise for any girl who wants a dollhouse, but maybe a real one is too expensive.\u00a0 Plus you don\u2019t have to worry about putting one together or picking up any messes.\u00a0 Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
