The devs wish you a merry Easter with this rabbit-child hybrid.
About writes: "An awkward, unoriginal sim attempts to replicate the early days of caring for a new baby. More frustrating than simplistic, even younger female players will quickly lose patience for this poorly presented game."
Pros
* Players can choose between a wide variety of skin tones for their babies.
* They can also choose to play as either "mom" or "dad."
Cons
* Game throws players in without much setup or explanation.
* Directions from a helpful "nurse" are convoluted, long, and hard to follow.
* Activities like feeding become nitpicky tests of the player's patience.
* Without direction, it's unclear how to proceed after completing tasks.
Remember back in high school when the practicing parents from home economics walked around with flour sack babies? Well, they should thank their lucky stars that they didn't have a DS. Flour babies never need to be changed or fed, and they can't cry or scream. The wee ones from My Baby Boy and My Baby Girl, on the other hand, cry, scream, defecate, urinate, masticate, and then some.
What do the My Baby's games have in common with real children? They are annoying. They eat, poop, and scream, case closed. Ultimately it's frustrating. Yahoo Games knows that this is a simulation game, but there is just so little "game" to it. It may be cute to watch them giggle and smile for the first time, but you'll quickly have the volume turned down once they start crying. And they cry a lot. Ultimately that's what it boils down to; a portable baby crying machine.
AGGGGHHHHH!!! WHAT. THE. F**K. DID. I. JUST. SEE?
