I find it hard to be unbiased when dealing wth games I don't like, but do try and put my own opinions aside. Thabk you for your excellent feedback DAMyst, it's good to have a review from someone who likes these games. I think, to improve it, you should get rid of the choosing outfits, jewelry and such and add something else that is more along the 'Time Management' area to help improve it in the moving around type thing. This one gets a thumbs up from me despite the cons to it. is a bit hard to keep track of and what you've used. The add-ons you get, like the lights, phone, radio, etc. See my comment about a tad too easy for that bit.

Not pleased with that and don't like it for some reason. The choosing the outfits and that is a bit mergh. I just finished the third level and am topping the expert score by over a 1000 points each time. The cons are it might be a tad TOO easy for those of us that play these. You get some good 'power ups' in the form of things you buy that help a great deal and make it easier on you to work with. The ambient music isn't bad (at least it doesn't drive me nuts like some of them do!). The pros are that the graphics are decent. Like most Alawar puts out, it's a high quality, good one. You quickly learn what you need to do and it's minimal frustration. This is actually a fairly easy one as these go. Installed fine on Win7 home premium service pack whateveritisnow

Overall I think it was worth playing through once for me. It's stilted and kind of unbelievable, but happens rarely enough that it's easy to overlook or skip past. The dialogue between Juliette and her rivals revolves mostly around "be strong and follow your dreams". :-( I'm not sure if it was supposed to indicate her being out of breath or what, but I found it unnecessary and distracting, so if you're someone who notices/critiques portrayals of women's bodies in media it may bother you too. I will say one design choice that really bothered me was the way Juliette's chest seems to expand and contract, moving independently of her body. The models' faces are, to me, kind of creepy looking, but most of the rest of the art is pretty and I liked the clothing designs (even if you don't get much time to look at them while playing). I only had to repeat one level that I did not get an expert score on the first time. It was fun to play through once, but I think too easy and not compelling enough to re-play. I usually really enjoy time management games, so I downloaded this and today I finished it.
