She is just amazing. I've played all 3 characters and my favorite is Amber (the blond). I love the characters, I love the music, I love the costumes, and I LOVE the skating.
It's so much fun. It took 3 days. I LOVE this game.
It's a very heart-warming story and I love it. I reccomend this to EVERYONE. I'm 11 years old and I ADORE this game.
It's really fun and it's actually long enough that I won't finish it in a day.
SHe got very frustrated and couldn't move on because her score wasn't high enough. It's cute but the graphics really need to be worked on. This game is really fun at first, though the story line is long and there's lots of pointless dialogue. She's been playing over and over again and is very annoyed with the game. Overall I would only buy this game for patient people. The romance is a bit weird and the fans are really creepy. I got this for my 11 year old daughter and she had lots of fun with it except when she got to the "State Competition".
I thought what better way for a skater to strenthen their performances than to practice skating but apparently I don't understand the appeal of the mini-game. The skating is fun. Then, they felt the need to add a storyline and a very annoying series of mini-games to strengthen your skater. Perhaps, they'll do another one with more skating/more sport-oriented and less life-ish. You also don't have a freezone to practice manuevers and thus some can be tricky during competitions with only one run through to master say a jump combination, something you don't practice. I have always wondered how they would create a figure skating game.
So i was very pleased with that. I just wish there was more of it. How to manuever the jumps and make it interactive with some sort of skill or ability on the player. The townsfolk become an annoying chore to talk to with bizarre romance things and other storylines that run without your control but you have to acknowlege the dialogue or you cannot advance. For the first figure skating game that i've found, it has good potential to build on. The developers have designed an interesting tool of tracing patterns, once for each revolution, in order to complete jumps and various other stylus manuevers for spins and footwork.
You end up "skating" very little while fulfilling the requirements of your coach.
The game looks like a visual novel, and if you're into those you might like it for its anime looking characters. Imagine: Figure Skater is a fun game for when you're bored and want to play something simple. All in all, it is a very fun game. There's a nice, simple story to it. But it gets addicting and you might not want to stop. The gameplay is nice, but does tend to get more difficult as you progress through the game.
The cpstumes are generally pretty and elegant. I can only bet younger gamers would use anger and force, maybe hitting the game, or, like myself just putting the game away and ignoring it. As a real figure skater, the jumps and especially spins are inaccurate. it's fun, I must say. It is dumb becasue it won't let you do anything in your life but what is programed for you and the people talk too much. Ok, at first it is fun; skating with coach, talking to friends, and playing the fun mini games. It has kind of dull and annoying music but it's not unbearable. when falling OOH., and before jumps and spins, Here We Go.
In fact, I looked up one of the songs on iTunes to purchase so I could use it in teh future for my program since I am a real skater. So. When you reach a certain "level" as a skater, it gets frusterating and pointless. But then, when you reach a certain point, it isn't worth the money. The people in your "life" make you have sore feelings and the only way to start the competion over is by turning the NDS completely off. The graphics have some room for improvement and the accessories for the girl are wild, ex. When you fall on really hard elements people boo and then you have to start that level over again. Also, the story-line is a bit cheesy.
It makes me frusterated because we, as skaters, want tpo play a game about our sport and it isn't realistic. Although, the choices of music the skater can use for her programs are nice. The expressions are silly, ex. bunny rabbit tail and devil horns and angel halo.
