My School Dance Game app review: enjoy a school dance

Introduction

Kids don't have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy a school dance. The My School Dance Game app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone allows them to get ready for the big dance any time they like. What big dance are we talking about? Only the most important one: prom! Not only will they be getting ready clothing-wise but they can chat with the boys at the virtual school to find a date, earn money by working at the cafe so they can buy their outfit, and more. The whole process is covered.

Preparing for Prom

There's a lot more to prom than just heading to the dance; there is an entire process involved. First you need to buy that perfect outfit at the mall, but to do that you need money. Well that's no problem when you work at the cafe as a barista! Once you've made enough money you can shop at the mall. Be sure you shop according to the dance's theme!

As mentioned you’ll also want to find a date to accompany you to the dance, which can be done by chatting with the boys at school. You can buy presents for your boyfriend at the mall and he will give you some as well. Check out your journal to see what boys like you. When it comes to the actual prom you can dress up how you like and enjoy the big dance by dancing with your boyfriend. If you’re really lucky you may just be named Prom Queen.

 

Playing the Game

The game is free to download and play; however, to buy outfits and gifts for your boyfriend you will need Beauty Bucks. You can earn them by working, of course, and you can purchase them in the in-app store. They are priced from $1.99 to $99.99. The game scores average customer ratings and most seem to enjoy the gameplay and the items available to buy in the mall. Some people experience issues with items loading, noting that it takes a long time. I find the game incredibly slow and annoying plus mine has even frozen my device while playing.

When you first load the game you get to personalize your character’s looks, her outfit, and give her a name; this process was nothing but frustrating for me as it takes forever. The game is not very responsive. Once this is done you’re ready to begin.

Final Thoughts

The My School Dance Game app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone is a cute idea but unfortunately the game is rather slow and unresponsive. If it was more stable I can see this one being really fun.
