Ok, Style Boutique. A game recommended to me by a friend who said i'd completely love it, and be so addicted to it. I was sceptical, but i ordered it having seen the reviews too.
I'm so glad i got it, and my friend was right, totally addictive. Although, i've had it just over a week and it's completed already, well the main aim to win the international fasion contest is completed anyway. So some people might find it a short game. But, it's a seasonal game too, new fashion's each season, new clients when you change decor. The game is probably never completely over as you can continue running your store, styling yourself, stocking up, holding sales to get rid of stock, advertising etc.
The customers are unique, and you will meet hundreds of them. All women, all skinny. Which is a tad annoying. The only one in this game who isnt skinny is the mad Rococco, who runs the fasion contests and absolutely loves herself! and she's about 2ft tall. But completely hilarious :D Some customers will really annoy you though. Especially when you've sold out of the stuff you advertised on the mailouts or in the magazines. Or they ask you to style them but dont like what you give them, er hello! i am a fashion goddess!!! lol!
The game can be completley satisfying, especially when you dress up a mannequin, and someone wants to buy the whole outfit that you put together. The clothes in the game are truly gorgeous too. I wish i had most of them in real life! I cant wait to see the clothes for other seasons too. The fasion contests arent so easy either, i lost 2 of them. But made it in the end! Waiting for those results is nerve wracking!
The Stores you buy your stock from are fab too. You'll have favourites and not so favourites. I dont like Marble Lily, it's a bit freakish to dress up as a doll! But a lot of customers love it so you do what you have to to earn the money! I love Sonata, Mad Jack and Raven Candle, the last too are more Gothic and Punky, and have some fab clothes, like big platform shoes. The likes of what the Spice Girls used to wear! Marble Lily has them in pink too, one good thing about the store. There's one store that i havent seen yet, Grace mentions it to you but it's quite rare for it to be open so i cant wait to see what they have when they finally make it to the Exhibition Hall.
Anyway, i love the game, and it's very clear a lot of thought has gone into it. I even quite like the music, although i know others that dont.
