  • Since her creation in 1959, over 1 billion Barbie dolls have been sold. She’s had countless different careers in everything from politics to the arts, is friends with dozens of celebrities, including the likes of Cher, Amelia Earhart, and Queen Elizabeth II, and she’s even been to space. There’s little wonder then, with so many exploits to her name, that the blonde bombshell has dipped her polyethylene toes into the world of video games, and since the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is about to debut, we thought it was a great time to see which ones are totally glam and which are a complete sham. Here is Every Barbie Video Game Ranked from Worst to Best.

    I am quite surprised that Barbie Fashion Designer did not make the list. Considering that it started the girls' game revolution and also got inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame this year, you would think it would have a spot, but because of the criteria, it is a shame to not see it here.

    I'm very glad Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride is on top of the list. That game was me and my sister's jam when we were kids. I replayed it a few years back and it still has that charm but since my sister and I also used our fantasy to make up stories while playing instead of just playing the game as intented, it felt shorter when I replayed it XD

  • @kelseypeterson5172

    Something yall didn't mention was that the magic of pegasus game, the 3 musketeers game, the barbie diaries game, and the swan lake game were also movie tie-in games. And there was another barbie rapunzel game called rapunzel: a creative adventure, that tied into the movie from 2002. From what I remember, the goal was fix the castle up and decorate it, (through more mini games) and find the prince near the end of the game. And there was a barbie princess bride game where you helped barbie prepare for her wedding. I'm a barbie game fanatic, so I collect and play every barbie game I can get ahold of. I absolutely love wild horse rescue, secret agent, team gymnastics, sparkling ice show and one you didn't have on here, idesign ultimate stylist. Those are probably my top favorites of the ones I own so far. I've got my eye on princess and the pauper, magic of pegasus, generation girl gotta groove, story maker, mermaid adventure, and sleeping beauty. Those look like they'll become favorites of mine as well.

    As someone who was once a little girl, I have to disagree/agree with a few rankings (though poor memory and nostalgia may be clouding my views). Barbie fashion show (earlier version) had an incredible sound track and I wanted to be a designer growing up so I loved it. 12 dancing princesses on GBA was fun with a good story different from what was described if I remember correctly. It was one of the few GBA games I had that was a good amount of challenging: not frustratingly hard like the Mario game I had, not boringly easy like the gameshow/boardgame adaptations. Barbie secret agent was the first video game I ever played that felt like a proper video game rather than a mashup of minigames. Many hours spent with my friend role playing while playing the actual game. Princess and Pauper was also super fun with good music and unique minigames. Those are the only on the list that I played and I'm pretty tempted now to ask my mom if we still have the CDs so I can give them a whirl again.

  • @Mausefell

    As someone who was a kid at the time I can wholeheartedly say that both myself and my older sisters were all obsessed with the Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses game for the PC and I´m also certain we were not the only ones. If the target audience likes it, is it really a bad game? 🤔

    There is definitely a barbie wedding princess bride game y'all missed that I played religiously as a kid. Yes, you do give barbie a wedding makeover, but there is also like a minigame delivering invitations to forest animals, a wishing well minigame where you have to throw coins into a fountain, you bake a cake, and create wedding music for a band. Barbie secret agent was definitely my fave growing up, but its a shame to not see this other game on the list. Vaguely I also remember that my sister had a barbie and the dancing princesses DDR mat thing that connected to the tv which I don't think was listed here either.

      The whole time I was watching and remembering the games I owned I was wondering where this game was, and as the video was nearing the top I was like "surely it can't be this high??" Haha I did love it, but I would have expected it to be towards the middle of the pack, since I think I liked all the other Barbie games I owned more.

    As someone who watched nearly every Barbie movie (falling smack in the middle of the Barbie lover/horse girl Venn diagram), some of these games deserve a higher spot. Even if they didn’t have the best game play, they had some serious fan service- though I love his humor, it sounds there were some of these that he didn’t realize were based on movies (like the Pegasus game, Swan Lake, and puppy rescue). I guess you can’t expect critics to always watch the movie and comment on this aspect 🤷🏾‍♀️

    There's a couple Wii Barbie games that should be in the top part of the list here. Another horse games, and a sidescroller. Most Barbie games are ignored by mainstream critics and there are a lot more than this.

    One game you forgot to mention was Talk With Me Barbie. A PC game that came with a physical doll that opened her mouth and talked to you while you played. The game itself was just mini games, but the doll was really innovatiove at the time. It connected a toy to a game way before Spyro or Disney Infinity did it.
    The fact that Rapunzel, Riding Club, Generation Girl, and Secret Agent were so high up made me happy, they were my absolute favorite Barbie games growing up. I really hated Barbie Sleeping Beauty, because it was actually a sequel to Barbie Rapunzel and was such a downgrade when compared to it

    • @kalilak9701
      @kalilak9701 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe we're thinking of different Barbie as Sleeping Beauty games? Because the one I just downloaded and played still holds up fairly well as a stand-alone short and sweet kids game.
      Also, I assume you're talking about the 2002 Barbie as Rapunzel game and not the 1997 one, right? Because the 1997 game is definitely not as good.

    My eldest daughter got quite a bit of mileage out of your #1 entry. She was a proper horse fan as a youngster. We even bought her a horse. She gave up on any thoughts of taking up horse riding seriously when it threw her for the first time. We gave the horse away to a friend of the family. Stupid animals in my own personal opinion as an ex regular at football matches where the idiot creatures used to be stand on my feet on a regular basis.
    She got over Barbie horse games the first time she saw me playing Oblivion. Spent many happy weeks riding horses around Tamriel. (and killing many also, riding them off cliff faces. lol)

  • @kalilak9701
    @kalilak9701 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think I have to point out an error on your list; there's TWO Barbie Rapunzel games- Magic Fairy Tales: Barbie as Rapunzel, and Barbie as Rapunzel: A Creative Adventure. I can't vouch for the second one (obviously people seemed to like it), but the first one definitely doesn't deserve such a high spot on the list. >.>
    We owned both Magic Fairy Tales: Barbie as Rapunzel and Barbie as Sleeping Beauty. Just to be sure my memories were correct, I went back and played both games. ;;>.> MFT Barbie Rapunzel may have slightly more conventionally animated characters, but the in-between animations are often kinda ugly, and the story is super short. Sure, the magic mirror does a good job being grumpy and disillusioned, but he only has a few lines so there's not really enough there to get too attached. Sure Rapunzel goes off on a journey, and does grand heroic things like... sort treasure, walk through a garden maze, decorate a cake, and color-match a few dresses.
    The biggest problem I have with Barbie Rapunzel is that there is absolutely no creativity to the games. Cake decorating? Basically just fill in the predetermined blanks with the predetermined decorations. Dress-up? Again, the outfits are already fully designed, just mix and match the very few options. Furthermore, each "game" is entirely self-contained; you enter a different screen to play it, then when you leave you never see it referenced again. Also, the story select screen doesn't assume the player has completed any of the story before that point, so if you want the fancy cake topper to go on the wedding cake you have to start on the far side of the river and do those mini-games first, which is annoying if you just want to decorate pre-designed cakes.
    In contrast, (in Barbie Sleeping Beauty) while Princess Rose's resting face is... not super attractive (in my opinion), the entire aesthetic of the game is much more cohesive and beautiful. The scene select is a cross-section of the castle, and you pick the room where that part of the story took place; a charming touch. The story is still relatively short, but the games (waking up the woodland creatures by playing Simon Says with the flute notes, decorating the crown, picking the color of the dress, finding the fairies, cutting the thorns to connect a path to the castle) are all seamlessly woven into the story and thus much more engaging. There's even a baby's-first-boss-fight against the bad fairy! And Princess Rose is the one who goes to fight her! Also, the dress and crown combo you design are featured in the ending scene of the story, which is a great touch.
    Overall, I think Barbie Sleeping Beauty is still a fun little game that I could still see kids enjoying even whereas Barbie Rapunzel, while passable the first time through, just barely scrapes along based on the merit of having a few vaguely amusing side-characters (including a bird named Twitter). For what it's worth, I'd give Barbie Sleeping Beauty a 7/10, and Barbie Rapunzel 3/10.

    23:22 In Barbie Groovy Games, that's a clone of a board game called Quarto, it's a brilliant and deeply tactical game - the board game made an appearance in Star Trek: Voyager. For that alone, it really should be the top of the list, but I suspect reviewers dismissed it as a throwaway game without realising how well thought out it really is (plus it really needs to be played with another player).

    @yanstein8464 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    this list is soo nostalgic, with so many games i've played:
    15:53 - unjustifiably low, super fun creativity game, i've spent so much hours in it
    27:51 - it was never my favorite one, but some parts of it are pretty entertaining, like sand castles and waterskiing
    36:09 - i found it to be a bit hard as a kid, but still
    40:30 - it was pretty hard for me as a kid on a hard level, as an adult tho even on a hard level it was super easy, but fun, i liked the music and the glowing ice and the pretty dresses... and barbie talks so much!
    43:42 - super beautiful and fun game, i remember the seahorse parts quite well
    50:20 - my friend had it, not me, so i don't remember it well, but it was partially present in my life, i remember liking it
    52:55 - ooooohhhh yeeeaaaah, it was my favorite game, it's super fun
    i love how most games i've played are pretty up high, most likely because my dad, who downloaded them for me, tried the and picked the most fun ones i would enjoy (i know he made at least one fashion show and showed it to me to pique my interest in the game), but who knows, i doubt even he remembers, it's been almost twenty years after all
    i know dress up games didn't count but i really liked barbie beauty boutique, the 2003 game that had very limited clothing options and annoying controls in the nails part, but surprisingly versatile hair and makeup options
    also you forgot another barbie rapunzel game, the 2002 one that's pretty relaxing and creativity based
    also i'm surprised you didn't count in the my scene games like... they have barbie in them, why not?

    • @kelseypeterson5172
      @kelseypeterson5172 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I actually made a list some time ago of every barbie game ever made, (excluding mobile games) and there are 76 different titles, but since gameplay varies some depending on which version of the game you get, like how the ps2 version of 12 dancing princesses is slightly different from the ds version, I would say that it's probably a safe bet that there is over 100 different barbie games. I don't own them all or every version of each of them either, so I can't say for sure how many of them are different. I would love to be able to own and play them all one day, but some of them are quite expensive 😂😭🥴
      Edit: I just came across another video where someone DID compile EVERY SINGLE barbie game EVER into one list, and they included the mobile games, flash games, and the specialized handheld games that were usually in cute shapes, like a compact or a heart, and only could play the game that was pre programmed to it. And they included the my scene games too. So their video is an hour and 13 minutes long and has 117 games on it. The channel is called Teal's tales if you want to find it. 😊

    I played the PS2 version of Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses yesterday. It was as painful as it was fun, in the so awful I'm having fun because I'm a masochist way. Man, it could have been a childhood favorite of many if the gameplay was reworked into something playable (controlling Barbie/Genevieve is a mix of 3D and tank controls, and some parts of the floor don't have collision), because visually it's all that young me would have adored.
