Hankies at the ready, this is a sad story. When I was five, I desperately wanted a Barbie, but my parents couldn't afford one (are those violins I hear?). In the end, I had to make do with a cheap fake from the corner shop.

Gadget from the movie!) into the opening in her back, she performs awesome cartwheels and flips! May 31, 2008 This game is about saving the world as babie. Barbie travels around the world and has many differnet clothes. This game is tricky so it will be tough if your under 7 or even older than 7, The laser beams are hard to master and the sneaking around can also be hard. Mar 08, 2007 If your little girl is crazy about Barbie, and what little girl isn't, then this is a great game. My 7 year old daughter is a novice video game player and it is so hard to find games that aren't too easy, but aren't for teens/tweens either. This game is perfect and she replays it a lot. I find that to be one of the best aspects of it.
Of course, this scarred me for life. It also started my obs-session with everything related to the fantastic, plastic, blonde bombshell, including this game in which our heroine's hush-hush mission is to stop the creation of a special suit that renders the wearer invisible. Teresa is the friend who has called in the team to help catch the thief who has stolen some of her fashions made of the top-secret fabric.
Babs and her intrepid spy team travel the world in their secret intelligence jumbo jet, taking in five top couture locations including New York, Paris and Tokyo. To complete their action-packed mini-missions, Barbie and her entourage must interact with various characters to help decode clues and use secret agent gadgets to solve puzzles.
True to Barbie's politically correct pink world, agent Christie pilots the plane while Barbie's long-term boyfriend Ken is kept well and truly in his place as co-pilot. With the flying taken care of, Barbie can sneak off to the onboard VR Training Centre to hone her secret agent skills.
Cybersleuth Becky can be summoned at any point with the Help button to coach Barbie or assist with breaking codes and analysing data. She also offers overviews of all the hi-tech gadgets and provides general mission support throughout the game.
Among Barbie's arsenal of special secret agent hi-tech gadgets is a variety of cosmetic weapons, including a compact from which she blows pink powder into the faces of guards so she can slip past undetected, a lipstick recorder for taping private conversations and a perfume bottle for tracking people by scent.
Pink-vision glasses give X-ray sight for solving puzzles, and a variety of other gizmos, from a camera to a PDA, can be used to collect clues and play games.
My favourite gadget, however, is a remote-control robot spy-puppy that distracts guards and gets into small places where even super-waif Barbie can't fit. You can also choose from a variety of different outfits for each mission, although the options are a little disappointing.
There are three activity modes - Adventure, Stealth and Action - each combining different outfits with special moves enabling Barbie to run, jump, tumble and even blend into the environment as you guide her on each adventure. Barbie is easily moved around onscreen by using the arrow keys, with the spacebar enabling the special moves.
At the end of her mission, Barbie performs a daredevil skydive from her customised jet to her final destination: the perfect ending to a very enjoyable adventure with the queen of pink and her band of manicured, coiffured friends. Ideal for the Barbie-fixated, whether five or 35 years old.

Along the way, Barbie’s friends and teammates supply her with the gadgets, training and strategies needed to complete each mission.
This game provides examples of:
- Asian Store-Owner: Mrs. Tanaka. Apart from dye, what she's selling isn't made clear. Probably a downplayed trope, because her store is in Japan, where almost everyone is, well, Asian.
- Art Major Physics: Because putting on a translucent/transparent suit would really make you absolutely invisible from top to bottom.
- Backtracking: Though often areas you've visited will have changed, or some areas will be blocked off.
- But Thou Must!: The thief will always be suspiciously faster than you, and you must always let the thief get away.
- Camp Straight: Mr. Johnson is hinted to be one of these.
- Cool Plane: Barbie and her team have their own very large and very pink private jet, which acts as their primary mode of transportation, as well as their secret headquarters.
- Culture Equals Costume: Averted in Brazil and France, but played straight just about everywhere else.
- Easing into the Adventure: Unless you skip it, the start of the game is Barbie doing some Virtual Training before receiving the call from Theresa.
- Equipment Reset Button: Barbie's inventory is changed each level so that she always has what she needs.
- Gadget Watches: Barbie uses a watch to communicate with her friends back at base while she’s on a mission. When it’s not being used in this way, it functions as a minimap/GPS device. Also see Super Wrist-Gadget below.
- Gateless Ghetto: The Egypt and Japan levels come to mind.
- The Ghost: Emille Vesante
- Goggles Do Something Unusual: One of Barbie’s gadgets is her Pink Vision Goggles, which help her to see coded messages within her environment.
- Improbable Weapon User: To call them weapons is a stretch, but Barbie's arsenal of gadgets consists of: a lipstick, a swingshot that's a wristband, a bottle of perfume, a robot puppy, a camera, some glasses and a compact of foundation that causes a huge cloud of smoke. Yeah.
- Instant 180-Degree Turn: The Guards.
- Instant Costume Change: Barbie performs these when changing among Stealth, Action and Adventure modes, sometimes in broad daylight, in a public area, while surrounded by a crowd. This is never mentioned or explained.
- Jet Pack: You can get one by typing JET whilst in action mode. It's a bit of a Scrappy Mechanic, though, as it's essentially just one long continuous jump when you hold down the space bar.
- Jump Physics: Action Mode, full stop.
- Invisibility Cloak: The thief stole Theresa’s designs in order to create a ‘Translucent Suit’, which is said to provide the wearer with near invisibility when worn.
- Level Goal: Technically
- Limited Sound Effects: A lot of the guards sound the same.
- Modern Egypt: One of Barbie's many destinations. Others include:
- Name's the Same: Let's hope that Mrs. Tanaka isn't married to a dirty businessman who swindles teenagers out of absurdly large amounts of yen.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Some of the guards have an uncanny resemblance to a pixelated Ben Stiller.
- No Peripheral Vision: The guards seem to have this. In fact, you can see their exact field of vision on the minimap. You could be standing right next to one of the guards, but as long as you’re not in that vision field, you won’t get noticed.
- Now, Where Was I Going Again?: A particularly cruel example. You can save mid-mission and quit, but upon reloading your save, you have to start from the beginning of the mission again.
- Robot Dog: One of Barbie’s gadgets is a robot dog that looks suspiciously like a Poochie (the robotic toy dog from the Turn of the Millennium). It’s used to distract guards and reach small spaces where Barbie can’t fit.
- Run, Don't Walk: You can only run in Action Mode, you can only walk in Adventure Mode but you can only run once in Stealth Mode, otherwise you're reduced to sneaking.
- Saving the World: Or at least the economy
- Scripted Event: It's perfectly possible (with the aid of a cheat) to catch up to Camille when she's stolen the puzzle box, but you have to let her escape.
- Stealth-Based Game: At least a third of the time, Barbie is in ‘Stealth Mode’.
- Stealth-Based Mission: There are lots of these.
- Stealth Expert: It’s hard to believe that Barbie can go by unnoticed in the highly colourful ‘Stealth Mode’ outfit that she wears, especially when she’s ‘stealthing’ in sparsely populated areas. This is, therefore, the only explanation.
- Stock Video Game Puzzle:
- Enter Solution Here (the most common one)
- Stock Foreign Name: Tanaka is a relatively common Japanese surname.
- Stupidity Is the Only Option: In one mission, Barbie has to set up a trap for the main villain by using the MacGuffin she just got. Cue facepalming when the villain arrives, steals the MacGuffin and forces a futile chase after them.
- Supervillain Lair: The lair of the villain, the last mission of the game.
- Super Wrist-Gadget: The UI shows a bracelet along the bottom of the screen; each ‘link’ in the chain contains the icon for one of Barbie’s many gadgets. Since she doesn’t carry a bag or have anywhere else to store these items, it’s implied that she actuallykeeps them inside her bracelet.
- Tracking Device: Yet another of Barbie’s gadgets, this tracking device comes in the form of tracking perfume. Yeah…
- Video Game Settings:
- Recurring Location
- The Maze: Subverted in that you have a map and can see over the hedges.
- You Can't Thwart Stage One: Or two, three or four.
