All I should have had to do was get the food and move the spoon to the baby's mouth. But I had to follow a path onscreen with the stylus. Better controls. My OWN baby that I name. A married couple one works, the other stays home. More lifelike graphics, not cartoons. Doctors, vaccinations, etc. It shouldnt walk until its a toddler the baby dances when you are choosing clothes.
More space for player name! Some people have LONG names! Tomboy99 member since Oh man, this is probably the most frustrating game I have ever played!!
I get a headache every time I play it. The controls on most of the "games" games are supposed to be fun, right? And this is a game for year olds?? And rocking the baby - oh, that one was so hard, I practically threw my ds at the wall! I was screaming in frustration at it. I like the way the babies look for one. Very cute animation. The games were pretty fun once you got used to them. It has a very faint echo of the first pc one, which I liked - but I wish it had more than an echo. I wish they had made it more like that.
If they make another one, they need to improve the controls on it. They should have people play it before it is released to work out bugs i.
It would be fun to teach the babies words with the mic well, I didn't "finish" it - is that later? Pretty much, make it more user friendly, and more like the pc one, taking advatage of the ds features. I continued playing it just for her oftentimes. Oh, and thank goodness for gamefly. I would be so mad if I had bought this game! Leemarie member since Super cute game. They feel like they are babysitting.
Perfect for that age group. I couldn't belive this game! It was just about being a babysitter for a bunch of people who were busy! My head was killing me! You have to turn the volume waaaaaaay down!! PLUS you have to clean grandma's house while taking care of the babies! Sometimes the babies wouldn't even eat! They let the food drip down them! Bathing them was easy. The only easy part!
I sure was glad when the parents came back to get them! Then I started the whole thing over again! BULLY member since Some of you may remember way back when you were kids and you liked playing house and playing with baby dolls.
The babies in this game were cute and I appreciated the anime style. I didn't appreciate however that the game was excruciatingly difficult.
I found myself pressing my stylus into the screen just so the game would process that my stylus was there. I also think there are several glitches in that game that need to be worked through with a fine-toothed comb.
It's an inauspicious start to what becomes an annoying "adventure" — as you'll find the touch control is lacking when you're trying to select letters, or rock a baby to comfort it, or feed it its Gerber dinner. It seems to register a "hit" several pixels away from where you've placed the tip of the pen, or it demands that you follow along with an on-screen graphic like a rolling ball rather than dragging on the screen to move the ball yourself.
Like any other virtual pet game on the DS, each activity for interacting with or caring for your digital child here is represented by a brief mini-game design.
But the execution of these designs is often off-target. Rocking an upset baby back and forth is represented by a ball rolling along a semi-circular track, and you're asked to touch a button at the two ends of the track to send it rolling back in the opposite direction once it overlaps a green-colored zone. But no matter where you try to tap and complete this action, nothing seems to register right — the ball just ends up slowing to a stop, and the uncomforted child wails in your arms. So girls will certainly get frustrated there, as well as with the various other lacking implementations included in Babyz's handful of mini-game designs.
From the off-center positioning of your point of control of the vacuum cleaner in the attic-cleaning game, to the too-demanding "follow the moving spoon" mechanic in the feeding mini-game, to pretty much every other included design, there's always something that feels oddly off and incorrect about each experience.
It's hard to have any fun at all. Where Imagine: Babyz gets things right is in its look and visual design. The 3D babies are undeniably adorable, and dressing them up in different outfits and goofy costumes can be entertaining to see — there's even a set of ninja gear you can have the babies wear. Even this positive element is held back by another negative, though, in that shopping for new clothes and other items to help make you babysitting easier or more fun is handled through a too-slow "online shopping" interface.
You earn money and coupons for successfully caring for kids, but you can't receive any immediate reward when redeeming those earnings — you have to "order" items that you want, rather than just getting them automatically when you pay for them.
It's upsetting that a message tells you you can't play the painting mini-game, because you don't have any paint, even after you've just spent several dollars specifically buying paint. Verdict The concept of a virtual babysitting game — or, more precisely, a virtual pet game with humans as the pets — is immediately questionable, and should have most gamers raising an eyebrow at the idea. But that's not where Imagine: Babyz is a letdown. Its concept is actually handled fairly well, casting you as teenaged girl with a good heart simply wanting to care for young kids to help out her grandma, and the babies are presented in an accessible, adorable way.
The problem is in the game's execution, as poor touch screen control and muddy explanations of what you're supposed to do mar each of the many mini-game designs. Imagine: Babyz is a game that looks fine and fun, but just isn't any fun to play — it's too frustrating to get into.
You'll be left feeling like you're just had to change real diapers for hours on end. It's a pain. Was this article informative? YES NO. In This Article. Imagine Babyz is the first simulation game focused on caring for babies. Players take on the challenges of raising a baby throughout all stages of development and will also be able to take photos and exchange tips and clothing through a unique online component.
