Summary: Read the Box
Review: Barbie Gymnastics does not support XP which is a very new operating system, and if you read the requirements on the box, you will see that XP is not listed as the supported operating systems.

Next time read the box before you buy.

Summary: All I can say is wow!
Review: Barbie Team Gymnastics is an excellent game for anyone who is a gymnastics fan or loves Barbie. I have always loved watching gymnastics on television and wondered how they performed those big skills, so I went out and bought this game. Your mission is to help Barbie, Christie, and Teresa work their way up to the Nationals and win the team trophy!

To play, you start off by choosing the gymnast that you want to practice with, which can be Barbie, Christie, Teresa, or all three of them. You are then taken to the team roster, where you can choose the event you want to go to, or look at the gymnasts' notebooks, which show all of the skills that they have learned. When you are in the practice room, you can create your routine using the skills you know and then practice them with the gymnast to get them correct. If you score on or above the target score that Kyra, your coach, has for you, Kyra will tell you that this routine is ready and you will then do another event. There are four events, vault, beam, floor, and bars, and after you finish practicing the routines and getting them down, you can go to competition!

If the team places first in the competition (there are four total), all the gymnasts will recieve new, more difficult and spectacular skills to put in their routines and new leotards to wear in practice and competition, too! The game is so much fun and really helps time to fly by. It is fantastic for any Barbie or gymnastics fan and is quite easy to play, too.

Summary: 1 sad 6 year old.
Review: I brought this game home a few weeks ago for my daughter that is 6 years old and in gymnastics lessons. She was so excited, so was I because I was a gymnast too. Unfortunatly the game does not work on new computers with pentium 4 processers. I find this very strange that a computer game will not work on a better computer system. It should be the other way around! The game is just useless to us. We have a dissapointed 6 year girl. I have not been able to find any other gymnastics games yet.

Buyer beware: if you have a Pentium 4 you will not be able to play this game

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We love this game!
Review: I like this game as much as my 5 1/2 year old daughter. She is a computer game veteran and this one is much different than the others. It took her about 1/2 hour to get the hang of it and now we have so much fun playing. I even like to play it! Hard to tell what it is like from the box description. You use the arrow keys to get barbie and two friends to do gymnastics routines. If you do not move the arrow keys as indicated fast enough you lose points. And you want a perfect 10!! Geared for age 5 and up I would think, I think 5 1/2 or older is best.

Review: It's wonderful and tells you what moves your doing, so you're becoming more aquinted with gymnastics. It's fun to watch your best routines on the T.V. and to pick out your leotard. When you win each meet, you get more leos!!!

Summary: My Daughter is hooked, but I can envision product improvemen
Review: My Daughter is hooked, but I can envision product improvements:
I bought this for my 14 year old daughter who used to compete in gymnastics. Although see never got past level 5, she really loves the sport, and tumbles whenever she gets the chance. She now works with the high school team. She wasn't sure about this game at first, but once she got past the boring introductory period, she's spending lots of time creating routines.

I hope the developers put some more effort into creating follow-up versions of this game. My daughter would love to be able to create routines and use her own music creatiions. She has a music editing program and has been creating floor music as a hobby. It would be great to have her create complete routines. If it were possible to create routines and save them to a format which would run independent of the game, she would love to be able to make the routines portable to bring to her high school team practices, and to share with others.

I also think the developers need to get together with USA Gymnastics so they can create a product which more closely resembles the way a meet is actually run. They should have all the levels, and each level should have a set of required elements. Players could then create optional routines within the level using these required moves. It could also be a great teaching tool at gyms.

Summary: Absolutely Fantastic!
Review: My daughter is on pre-team in gymnastics and is almost 6 yrs. old. I'm always looking for toys/games that are gymnastics related for her. I just bought this for her and I am hooked. I spent 2 days creating routines and competing to win the gold! She likes it as well... though it is a little difficult for her because you have to use the arrow keys and your space bar at just the right moment to perform the routines. She IS able to do it, but it is somewhat difficult for her. She will soon get the hang of it as it doesn't really upset her... she just keeps on playing anyway. I recommend this game for anyone who is in gymnastics or just has an interest in the sport. It is AWESOME to see the computer world creating more games for GIRLS now!
