Barbie Project Friendship is a well-rounded game that offers players the chance to dive into the world of Barbie, featuring the beloved duo Malibu Barbie and Brooklyn Barbie. With its engaging mini-games and quicktime events, the game provides a cohesive adventure centered around fixing up the Malibu Waves community center.
A Touching and Inspiring Story
Outright Games' Managing Director, Stephanie Malham, expressed her excitement about developing this title with her team. She said, "With a touching and inspiring story, amazing support from the television series cast, and a strong focus on accessibility for younger players, Barbie Project Friendship offers something for fans of all ages. Fans can now dive into this heartwarming adventure, with gameplay that is welcoming and accessible to everyone."
Immersive Voiceovers
The inclusion of actual voice actors from the show, makes the adventure even better. It immerses fans into their world, allowing them to read along or just listen if they prefer without the Barbie's sounding like bootleg copies of themselves. This makes the game more enjoyable. The creators of Zag Heroez Miraculous games could certainly take notes.
What better way to compare the voiceovers in the game than presenting an episode of the show?
Familiar Faces and Objectives
Barbie Project Friendship feels like an episode pulled right out of the show, featuring familiar faces and cohesive objectives that allow players to see their progress slowly but surely. With the support of Ann Austen, producer and developer of multiple Barbie animated shows like Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures and specials, the game stays true to what fans know and love about the newer Barbie TV shows.
Available Platforms
Barbie Project Friendship is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch for $39.99. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or new to the world of Barbie, this game offers a delightful and accessible experience for everyone. I think girls ages 7+ will enjoy this game the most. Dive into the adventure and help fix up the Malibu Waves community center while enjoying the heartwarming story and engaging gameplay.
