 I don't know about this one... November 29, 2008
This game was soooo hard for me! [14]
I couldn't get to baby to sleep, and the minigames were poorly done. It didn't explain itself and people online made groups that were asking questions about it that nobody could answer. It really discourages me from buying any other Imagine games, but everyone says they're better, so i'll check them out. But I wouldn't buy this game for anyone.
 I always figured that new versions were better versions. November 10, 2008
I was wrong.
First off, this product is NOT the first baby simulation game. The first that I can remember (there may be others) came out 10 or so years ago as "Babyz" from PF Magic. Ubisoft bought the rights to the game (and its more popular brothers "Petz" and "Oddballz") after their popularity waned.
As a huge fan of these games when I was younger, I figured I'd give this game a shot. Heck, I still play Petz every now and then. I'd play Babyz too, as I still have the cd, but the key is looong gone. So, I picked up a copy that was on clearance the other day.
Yuck! The old Babyz was much better. I personally didn't like the minigames, but it isn't a big deal. The problem was the touch screen was really awful. Really, really awful. I hope the other "Imagine" games aren't this bad, I was hoping to give a couple of them a shot.
In short, the touchscreen is very inaccurate making doing things frustrating. The graphics, though more "advanced", were not as good (except for, arguably, the babies themselves). I expected the game to be /more/ interesting than it's predecessor, not less. Too bad.
Way to mess up a good thing, Ubisoft. GG. And stop with the untrue advertising.
Fun.. But Hard October 3, 2008
this game was fun for me (15 years old)... but on this game i could never figure out how to get the baby full asleep. i liked this game and i recommend it to 10-14 years olds... this game would be hard for little ones...
 CUTE GAME October 3, 2008
In this game your character is challenged by taking care of babies. In the game there is a total of six babies you take care and as you progress though it, it unlocks more babies. In the game you basically get to do the same stuff with a real baby like; playing with it, entertaining it when it gets bored, feeding it, giving them a bath, rocking them when they get upset, and putting them it sleep. It is like being a babysitter. The game is fun and I recommend it to people who like babies.

Kids love this game but it is so easy for it to get lost/misplaced because of its small size.
