I bought this game for my grandaughter for her 9th birthday and she loves it.

I got this for a very cheap price in some stores, So I don't have my hopes too high.This game was a big hit for me, I very happy to say,but it DOES get a little boring after a while, cuz it only has 6 games with 3 levels. some of the games are very hard to control, while others are very easy. The little "Fashion" closet only has 2 exchanges of bikinis for me, so I really don't bother to change it, cuz after all, you won't actually see what Polly is wearing during the game. There is an option for "2 Players" but it dosent do much except making you and your friend play, then, tells who wins. The points you earn during the game gets more and more on harder levels, and also, the 'Hidden Magic Flower' Which will lead to the "Fashion" closet is on the hardest level. It does get annoying when you achive a thing, a new password comes, so I have to write them down, because they are a pain in my head to remeber them, because each letter has 26 letter option, from A-Z, so i get mixed up sometimes. But then, i lost my little strip of paper, so now, I'll have to start all over again.(And i really don't like that) The water slide was TOTALLY fun...for me. But after all it does nothing but a funner game part then the others. I thought that after the slide, you can go to other sections of the game...but no. it stays the same, after the ride, you go back to the same place.(You first ahve to earn 2,000 points for this, however, you don't 'pay' for the ride, you just have to have 2,000 points. then, when you ride it, the guy who takes care of the slide will thell you that, you can earn 4,000 points for a more advanced ride....but i never got 4,000 points, but im still working on it.) Here are the explanations for my stars:

Fun: It was great!! There's 6 games. The River Crossing, Bumper Boat, Water Blaster, Tude Trouble, Jet Boats, and River Rapids.(Water slide is like a bonus) And there is an Info Booth for you that you can ask questions about each game, and the fashion closet.

Educational: Well not really, but it's fun!! I care more about that.

Durable: Ok I guess....just don't throw it on to hard floor. After all, it's a computer thing.

Overall: It was great for starters!! Im alittle too old for Polly Pocket games, so it might get boring in a while, but for GBA starters, and little Polly Pocket fans, it will be a big hit for them, and would also be nice to have it in any GBA collection. Hope this Helps!!
