The
10 Greatest Barbie Video Games (1997, PC)
Beyond just fashion designing and
beach parties, her games have explored her adventurous side from jungle
adventurer to swashbuckling heroine.
#4 out of 10Designed by Mattel’s development studio, Barbie Storymaker lets you to
make short animated scenes and stories, choosing the location,
characters, objects & interactions via an intuitive point-and-click
interface.
Like the excellent game The Simpsons: Cartoon Studio this was a genuinely
creative game that explored the potential of the multimedia CD-ROM era.
Barbie Storymaker from Mattel For Ages 5+ Reviewed on: Pentium90 with
24MB and 2XCD
Would your daughter like to create a Barbie doll show with
multiple characters, outfits, scenes, and action?
Would you like to help her? If the answer to both questions is yes, this
program is for you.
Barbie Storymaker is a sophisticated program
that allows a user to move from playing with
physical dolls, to a computerized experience with virtual dolls with 4 major
components:
·
a Scenes
Studio, where you do most production work, picking the scene,
the characters, and their clothes; choreographing the characters' movements,
and adding animation, sound, dialogue, and special effects,
·
a Paint
Studio, where sets can be created or modified,
·
an
Editing Studio, where multiple scenes are spliced together to
tell the story.
·
and
a Screening Room, for final presentation.
Ease of Install / Use: Program installed easily
on our PC by asking just two questions: which drive / directory and if the the
user needed QuickTime for Windows 1.1 (included).
The program takes about 5 MB of disk space, but an uninstall capability is
thoughtfully included.
Ease of install, however, is not the same as ease of use, as our
reviewers were soon to discover.
Features: Storymaker has some easy-to-use features, and some not-so-easy. Our 6
year-old tester had no difficulty drawing or coloring scenes in the Paint Studio,
adding objects to the settings in the Scenes Studio, or selecting characters
and their outfits. These activities aren't "the really neat part"
of Storymaker. That was reserved
by our kid reviewers for features allowing users to 'block' or draw the paths
the characters would take in each scene, and those adding interactive animation
between the characters, sounds, and dialogue. Unfortunately, using those
features took careful reading of a skimpy instruction manual, and a fair amount
of experimentation. One parent noted that this was, "a definite black-hole
for time."
Methodology: Users begin by entering
the Scenes Studio, where they select a basic background for each scene in the
story. A user might select the front of the house first, then move into the
living room, kitchen, or bedroom, or off to the beach. Next, a cast of
characters is chosen, along with their outfits. Additional features may be
added to the set, like flowers, birds, butterflies, or an aquarium. Each character's
path is 'blocked' out on the scene, by moving the mouse along a desired path.
Time delays and fades can be added, along with animated activities like Barbie
kissing Ken. Music, sounds, and a custom
dialogue may be added.
After a collection of scenes have been created and saved, the user moves over
to the Editing Studio,
where the scenes are linked together, for viewing in the Screening Room.
Proxy
Parent Value: Proxy value is our measure
of how well a program grabs and holds a child's attention.
Storymaker has a strong
initial attraction for most young girls. The pink packaging, familiar
characters, and ability to access a number of easy-to-use features are strong
hooks. Yet, most of the sophisticated program features require significant
instruction by a parent or caregiver who has taken a good amount of time to
understand their use. "I spent 2 hours the first day, and felt like I'd
scratched the surface," wrote one mother. "And the whole time my
daughter kept asking when it would be her turn." Older children (10+)
might require less parental instruction, may tend to be less attracted to the
notion of playing with Barbies. Storymaker offers
the potential to hold their interest for countless hours of creative playtime.
Best
for: Girls interested in
Barbie, yet capable of learning how to use a program requiring multiple steps
for creative efforts to be displayed. 5- 8 year-old girls will be most
comfortable with the simple activities, like picking and decorating sets, and
selecting characters and their outfits. With
significant parental assistance, they may be able to use some of the program's
more sophisticated capabilities. Girls 10+
can learn these capabilities with the help of a parent, and then use them on
their own to produce stories.
Bottom-Line: A neat program for a
mom and young daughter to use together to create animated stories.
