My Doll 3D

Playing with dolls is not a very popular activity nowadays, although there are still a lot of girls that prefer to hold their dolls in their hands, rather than play The Sims on the computer. However, video games are also a very good way of improving creativity, especially in the case of titles that encourages children to be original and come up with their own ideas.

My Doll 3D provides your children with the ability to let their imagination run wild and create a variety of original make-ups, as well as many different outfits, starting from the large number of clothes and hairstyles that are provided with the game. Although these objects are already there and they only need to be arranged according to personal preference, it still takes a bit of thought to come up with something that makes sense, despite the current fashion trends.

Speaking of clothes, there are around two hundred clothes to choose from, which include jeans, skirts, t-shirts, coats and obviously shoes, although each item only goes well with a certain hairstyle and the proper make-up. The accessories cannot be absent either, because they are in many ways the centerpiece of many outfits nowadays and nothing seems to fit without the adequate handbag or necklace.

On a side note, it is worth noting that the developers took an interest in the gameplay and the user interface, given the fact that the target public is not that familiar with classical key placements. Hence, there's a lengthy tutorial to get the kids started, as well as an intuitive layout to keep everything as simple as possible, not to mention the very low amount of text present on the screen at all times, to avoid disorienting them.

As far as the technical aspect is concerned, the 3D graphics engine used to render the doll and the clothes is a bit rusty and unpolished, especially when it comes to anatomy and texture quality. On the other hand, a funky-looking doll should not raise too many eyebrows, although the blurry stretched textures may hurt a few retinas along the way.

My Doll 3D is not an amazing game, but it achieves its primary purpose and it can be successfully used as a way to keep your children occupied while you are not able to properly supervise them. Playing with virtual dolls is a bit less expensive and dangerous than in real life.
