Barbie is an action-platformer that was also released on MS-DOS in 1992.
+ Includes basic puzzles to break up the action, and there is some fun in figuring out how to call on your animal friends.
- Difficulty is high and it's baffling why the developers made the game so tough when you consider the intended audience.
- Stage 2's opening area is horrifically designed, as enemies and hazards are replicated for long stretches.
- Collision detection is suspect and Barbie's sprite is ludicrously large when trying to avoid projectiles.
- There's no warning to signify when invincibility charms are about to expire, which typically leads to unfair damage.
- Graphics are putrid with lots of colour clashing / recycled assets, and the boss battles have tedious patterns.
