She is just amazing. I love the characters, I love the music, I love the costumes, and I LOVE the skating.
It's so much fun. I'm 11 years old and I ADORE this game.
I LOVE this game. It's a very heart-warming story and I love it.
It's really fun and it's actually long enough that I won't finish it in a day. It took 3 days.
I've played all 3 characters and my favorite is Amber (the blond). I reccomend this to EVERYONE.
SHe got very frustrated and couldn't move on because her score wasn't high enough. 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. 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". It's cute but the graphics really need to be worked on. Overall I would only buy this game for patient people.
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. I have always wondered how they would create a figure skating game. 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 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. Perhaps, they'll do another one with more skating/more sport-oriented and less life-ish. 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 skating is fun. Then, they felt the need to add a storyline and a very annoying series of mini-games to strengthen your skater. You end up "skating" very little while fulfilling the requirements of your coach. 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.
For the first figure skating game that i've found, it has good potential to build on.
Imagine: Figure Skater is a fun game for when you're bored and want to play something simple. The game looks like a visual novel, and if you're into those you might like it for its anime looking characters. 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. There's a nice, simple story to it. All in all, it is a very fun game.
It has kind of dull and annoying music but it's not unbearable. As a real figure skater, the jumps and especially spins are inaccurate. When you fall on really hard elements people boo and then you have to start that level over again. When you reach a certain "level" as a skater, it gets frusterating and pointless. The graphics have some room for improvement and the accessories for the girl are wild, ex. 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.
The expressions are silly, ex. when falling OOH., and before jumps and spins, Here We Go. Ok, at first it is fun; skating with coach, talking to friends, and playing the fun mini games. So. The cpstumes are generally pretty and elegant. It makes me frusterated because we, as skaters, want tpo play a game about our sport and it isn't realistic. it's fun, I must say.
Although, the choices of music the skater can use for her programs are nice. Also, the story-line is a bit cheesy. 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. bunny rabbit tail and devil horns and angel halo. 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. 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. But then, when you reach a certain point, it isn't worth the money.
