Like Barbie?



So, you like Barbie games? I’ll bet you also enjoy Barbie dolls and the occasional Barbie movie. Have you ever stopped to wonder why that is? It’s no secret that generations of girls have played with and loved Barbie games, but what makes them so fun? Is it the doll? The fashion? No – it’s the reality of it all.

Barbie could very easily be a real person – although she’d have a slightly less perfect body if she were. She looks like someone we might know, and her clothes aren’t totally outlandish. She isn’t a cartoon and she has realistic things like cars, kids, houses and jobs.

Playing in a fantasy world is definitely fun, but playing with a doll that could really be your best friend is even better. You don’t have to make up planet names or new worlds to describe strange creatures. Barbie has simple pets and it’s fun just to help her get through the day – with plenty of wardrobe changes of course.

Barbie games aren’t complex. In fact, it’s just how simple they are that make them so appealing. Who knew having a normal day – even if you’re a doll – could be so much fun?
