Girl Time DS Review

Category: DS, Women | Comments Off

Girl-Time_DSDon’t waste your time with Girl Time. Billed as the only day planner, diary, and calendar you ever need, what you don’t need is an organizer that doesn’t do the job. Here was something that might have been a good idea but the application software just doesn’t cut it. The game / accessory didn’t actually work. You are given pale dull menu screens with washed out colors that cancel each other out into a smooshy blare. While attempting to enter information when given the “Data” prompt no mater how filled out it was, the check box was never ticked off. There was no way to Save and exit, or reset while keeping the information. None of the buttons did anything.

Successive taps on the various menus even when highlighted took several times for the DS to pick up on it. The controls on it were either dull and insensitive, or not there at all. Stuck on the first set of screens, I was able to take an element questionnaire. That was the only quiz that I could get to. The mini games were also inaccessible. The “fashion tips, dating advice, and articles on how to make your own customized jewelry” that are in the description were all hidden behind an unresponsive interface.
Gamefly suggests deleting your info in the Options Menu before returning it, but there isn’t a way to get to the Options Menu either. So skip this one, I give Girl Time a score of 0, broken.
