Though the game is aimed at younger girls, it's solid game play makes it fun for all ages, male or female. Seeing as you can obtain this game for under 20 dollars, it is worth the money despite it's lack of a storyline.

Game play, 6/10: Though it can become repetitive, the different cities you visit makes for some fun exploration. Certain areas can be very fun, including Tokyo, Paris, New York, and Egypt. Some of the gadgets were extremely funny, like the remote-control puppy and your lipstick recorder.

Graphics, 8/10: In today's day and age the graphics aren't stellar, but for the time it looked pretty good. Certain things like the Tokyo map looked very nice, whereas others such as Rio looked sub par. Characters like enemy guards look detailed, and add to the diversity of the game. Certain bugs do appear though, such as misplaced scenery, and appearing stuck in a wall when hugging it.

Sound, 8/10: I found the sound to be very strong in this game, probably it's best feature. All sounds are crisp and clear, fitting into the game very well. Animation sounds flow into the game nicely, giving a pretty good sense of realism.

Story, 4/10: This is the game's weak point, as you might as well say their isn't even a storyline. It's basically Barbie as a secret agent, with her spy gadgets doing specific missions in different cities around the world. At some points the story can be frustrating, because for a game aimed at children, the game does not offer a very clear description in which to go.

Difficulty, 7/10: The game is very easy, unless you end up getting lost due to the low attention spent on directions in the game.
