Lovely Lisa and Friends delivers socially responsible gameplay that teaches girls how to be their best, while working hard and having fun. Players can explore their own creativity and personal style by utilizing the Nintendo DSi camera functionality to take photos of real world images and apply them to a variety of outfits to dress Lisa. Players can also enjoy time with other characters as they swap outfits with Lisa's two best friends, Alice and Maria, as well as participate in mini-games that include helping mom with shopping and cooking and putting furniture together with dad. To top it all off, players can partake in the idol game to dance their socks off, and earn Lisa points to buy clothes and accessories as they get ready for the Heart Hills Idol Pageant.
