  I bought this for my 9 year old niece and she can't seem to get enough of it. She is totally hooked on this game. I read the other review and we did not experience any of the same problems that reviewer was having. The other reviewer, complained that you have to "earn" your Superstar status. Well, hello, that is the challenge of this game. If it came easy how fun would that be. As with everything in life, you generally have to work hard to get what you want & to earn it! That gives this toy it's educational value!
  
  

• My 8-year-old daughter's review

  I like this game because:
  -You have to work hard to become a superstar.
  -It's hard to make a living which makes it very fun and hard.
  -It's fun because you can make your own friend.
  -When you are finished with the game, you can look at a scrapbook of the game.
  -It feels good when you're playing.
  -Everything works very well. The graphics are cool.
  -There are lots of stores you can go to and it's fun.
  
  What I don't like about this game:
  -You can't do the chores yourself, you just click on them and you get the money.
  -When you go to a store, you don't go through the cash register, you just click to buy things.
  
  I would recommend this to a friend!
  
  

• options don't work right; disappointing overall

  My 8 year-old got this today. Between the two of us, it is very hard to understand. We can't figure out how to save her game; we were saving it as the manual said, but there is nothing saved next time we turn it on. Since she can't save it, she has to start over every time and can't seem to reach "star" status. My daughter was disappointed, thinking she'd be able to immediately be a star, on the red carpet but instead you have to "earn" it all. Conversations with friends are just written dialog on the screen. There are very few options regarding decorating your virtual bedroom (nothing like Webkinz, for example!). Also, the graphics are pretty bad Lastly, you never see your character except when you are in the closet (no pun intended) choosing clothes.
  
  All in all, a big disappointment.
  
  

• Good Gift for 9 yr old

  My daughter received this from her brother for Christmas. She has played previous versions at friends' houses and still found this one entertaining.
  
  Pros - The system is easy to set up and use. She was able to begin playing with little to no help. The graphics are improved from previous versions. There is more to do inside the game so she didn't make it through all the options in one sitting.
  
  Cons - I don't think children much older than 9-10 will enjoy this game long term. Children used to gaming interactions (ie Sims) may find the friend and job interaction overly simplistic.
  
  

• Great Purchase

  I bought this game for my Niece for Christmas. As soon as she opened it she wanted to hook it up and get started. We made her wait until everybody else opened their gifts and as soon as that was done she was busy getting hooked up. She played that game all night and when I called her the next day she was playing it again. It teaches her how to handle money. She is given so much money to buy clothes and do other activities. When I went to check on her Christmas night she was complaining because she wanted a sale before she would buy clothes. She hated spending the price that they wanted for clothes. I'm hoping this game will teach her how to budget and make smart choices with her money.

  My daughter requested Dream Life for Christmas, and I was excited to see it on sale for $14.99. I bought it, and am glad we didn't pay full price. The instructions were missing from the box , the graphics are pretty poor, and my 9 year old daughter lost interest in the product fairly quickly. Definitely the kind of toy you forget about after the initial excitement of unwrapping it.

  I was very satisfied with this product. My granddaughter loved receiving it for christmas. So far it has lived up to all of our expections. I was
  more impressed with the service that I received. My order was taken quickly and the delivery was so quick I couldn't believe it. Thank you very much and I will be a repeat customer.
  
  
• Could Have Been So Much Better!
  By A2SR4B8A9AHY97 on 2007-12-28
  My daughters have been playing this game for around 3 days now. The graphics are poor and rudimentary in design. They still seem to enjoy it however and continue to play it often. Another problem though is that if used for a long while the game seems to... overheat? and it will quit and give a blank blue screen. after it has set for a while and cooled down it will then work again.
  
  
• Dream Life ...She wishes!

  DreamLife Superstar is tons of fun for my eight yr old. No educational value since doing the dishes earns her $50.00 on this game. If that is not a shocker then how about $25.00 to take the dog for a walk. Complete fun and fantasy land but the game gets a lot of play.

  Although I don't quite understand why, my nine year-old daughter loves this game. I have played it a few times and it just seems to drone on and on without any clear purpose. One thing that I do like is that it shows how you have to balance doing fun things with work and chores if you want to have spending money.
