Gamertell Review: Imagine Teacher for DS

From the review, "Occasionally, Ubisoft's Imagine line of games for girls will result in a game that isn't half bad. Imagine Chef and Imagine Figure Skater are two of these titles and Imagine Teacher easily joins their ranks. It's a decent game and, if more effort had been put in, it could have become a solid title that helped redeem the Imagine line of games.

Instead, Ubisoft and Magic Pocket copped-out with Imagine Teacher. It created an admirable classroom simulation, with an inventive presentation, then decided to slack off when it came to the storyline and replay value. Instead of being a game to buy, Imagine Teacher is an adequate game to rent."

Gamebosh Review: Imagine Teacher

Gamebosh writes: "Believe it or not, girls do actually play games. With Nintendo's desire to be the no.1 console developer again they have taken a step that Microsoft and Sony fear to tread: producing software for girls. I love games and I love girls (within legal boundaries - on both), it's only right that those two can merge (if only my wife was that understanding when I switch on the Xbox). Ubisoft have been helping the cause with their hugely successful Imagine series that puts you in real life professions and situations. With several already produced, such as Babies and Fashion Designer, it's time to put you in the shoes of those much hated teachers."
