The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery

After watching the movie The Barbie DIaries I might as well try playing The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery. While playing this game I saw that Barbie is still an anchor for Van Buren High School this actually is a sequel that takes place after prom which is after the movie.

As usual, the Barbie game had ways to change clothes before going to school however the game did not enough much interaction but at least in school I got to drink soda, coffee, and fountain water. And I actually get to meet more other characters in Van Buren High School that are not even in the movie even if it has a small cast of new students and two prefects. The character models were a bit different than the movie model counterparts for the game that was released in 2006 and the minigames where it has the usuals like puzzles and whatnot,

As for the game's ending, I got the game ending but it felt a bit anti-climactic. I expect there would be a band battle against 3 band members playing alongside together with Charmz against Count Jockula and Time Out Boy. Just another video editor-styled band mode where I move cameras and flashlights. And the map is a bit small for a school that is so big. One change that I didn't like is the courtyard which has a wall because it's not even in the movie and does not really have a very open scenery

The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery does not really play like Bully because that Barbie game was released after Bully. But this is an interesting lane to go back to memory lane.
