Editorial Review

It's totally Barbie, but even a big girl would want this clock radio. Modern,stylish, and completely functional, it looks great on a nightstand or study desk. A coolmauve-pink body holds an easy-read clock (hour, minute, second, and alarm hands) witha giant snooze button on top flanked by on, off, sleep, and alarm buttons. There's also atunable FM radio, so your child can awake to the Top 40 instead of a buzzer if she likes.Coolest features: glowing clock hands, and a clock face that lights up, so girls can see thetime, fiddle with the radio, or have the unit serve as a nightlight in the dark. Requires fourAA batteries (not included). --Diane Beall ... Read more

I can't believe I bought this
Needless to say I ignored the rest of the reviews and took a chance in buying this product because my daughter needed something to wake her up in the morning and loved Barbie. Originally she wanted the bratz alarm clock and I should of got it. The clock can only wake you up by the hour so if you need to wake up at 6:30 you have to set it for 6:00. Sometimes it doesn't go off at all. So the other review is right on that. It only takes batteries which is a total put down as well. It's not worth the [money]they are asking for....sorry Barbie.

cute, but accurate??
I bought this in an attempt to help my 8 yr. old become more responsible for getting herself up and ready for school in the morning. It's cute, and not overly "Barbie-ish" (many Barbie products just seem like blatant advertisements, imo). But when it comes to it's effectiveness as an alarm clock, I have my doubts!! The alarm time does not seem to be terribly accurate. We've used it 4 times and each day I reset it earlier because it didn't go off in time. This morning the alarm was set for 7am but still hadn't gone off by 7:25 when I finally came in and just turned the radio on to wake her up (I checked and the clock was set properly; batteries were brand new). It seems to me that a product that is obviously meant to be practical/ educational and not just a toy should be at least *somewhat* accurate!

My other concern is that there is no adapter or plug available -- only 4 AA batteries. I suspect we will have a few late mornings when the batteries start to die as well :P

The price is reasonable, but is comparable with an inexpensive electric alarm clock. I expected it to work like one. If you are purchasing this for practical reasons and not just as a cute toy, a kid's digital alarm clock might be a better alternative.

very happy with choice
I was trying to find a clock radio for my daughter that would grow with her. She is now 5 and loves to listen to the radio. This is easy for her to turn on and off and change the volume etc. Although it turns off in about 30 min. It's alright for her age. (her attention span carries her around the house and it won't stay on forever then.) The sound quality is good, not scratchy or staticy. And it's not so bold with pics on it that it won't last her till age 12 or so when Barbie goes "out of style". ... Read more

Editorial Review

This high-tech-looking projection alarm clock ensures that kids will be up and ready to catch the school bus on time in the morning. Kids can choose to wake up to either an alarm sound or music from the built-in AM/FM radio. Although there is a snooze button to delay the inevitable, kids can't avoid the gigantic time display that appears on their wall or ceiling to notify them of how late it's getting. A 180-degree rotating lens adjusts the projection to appear either overhead or on a wall within kids'' line of vision. The time also displays on the clock''s front digital screen in case kids actually look at the night table to check the time. The clock operates on a plug and also accepts a 9-volt battery (not included) as a back-up power method. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Not a bad birthday present
I got this alarm clock for a birthday present one year ago. I think it is an excellent present. It has a radio it sounds pretty good it has an alarm that is loud anough to wake strong sleepers and the alarm keeps going untill you cut it off. Easy to change the alarm and time. The projector you can only see at night. And you have to ajust it well to be able to see it clearly and that takes about 2 min. Over all I think this is a good product.

Fun for the Money
Cheap Projection Clock. But I think its decent value for money. It looks nice and sharm. I like the kind of party translucent/partly opaque blue face plate.

The radio sounds pretty good for a single speaker outlet.

The buttons are decent to press. Dont have a squishy feel like some appliances do. Though it would have been nice to have a Snooze or Master OFF button on top of the thing so be able to just whack it!

Projection is a separate clock altogether! So you have to synchronize it yourself unless you want dual time!! Unfortunately the projection cannot be rotated around the vertical axis (when projecting on ceiling).

Dont know why they need a 9V battery for backup! They are expensive!

I am happy! Good Price. Good Fun! ... Read more

Great learning tool!
This clock is amazing. My son has only had this for a couple of weeks and he can now recite the Lord's prayer. He is also getting familiar with telling time. The clock alarm wakes him with a hymn. Now we sing these hymns in the car. I strongly reccomend this product. It's durable and cute.

A Great Clock
I was looking all over for an alarm clock to wake up my six year old son who never wants to get up and go to school, and then I found this. This will get him up!

This will also come in handy, because he needs to learn the Lord's Prayer for his religion class. He has a form of autism and needs things repeated over and over, and I think this will do the trick.

Praise be - this clock is Heaven sent
This is one of my best buys from Amazon.com. I now jump out of bed in the morning with a song in my heart and a spring in my step safe in the knowledge that God is looking over me -- what better way to start the day than with a prayer!

Holy time keeping Batman!!
I'm placing my order RIGHT NOW!!! My son is a very restless sleeper - troubled by dark forces on occasion I imagine. I think that this clock, sent from the Lord shall reassure him and give him the confidence he needs to turn off his "Mary & Baby Jesus Shrine Night Light" before he sleeps!

Love this Clock
To have your little ones awaken to the Lord's Prayer or Hymns or church chimes is wonderful, The best way to start the day.This clock teaches both the short form and standard bedtime prayers I just LOVE IT EVE ... Read more

Barbie Talks?
We bought this clock so our 5 year old daughter could learn how to tell time. She was extremely excited about hearing Barbie's voice, as stated in the product description. There is no indication anywhere on the package or on the clock that there are special messages to hear from Barbie. My daughter decided she wanted keep the clock anyway, but was very disappointed.

poor quality
We bought this clock for our daughter who was starting kindergarten. We have used the clock for less than 3 weeks. The alarm hand no longer works, which was our primary purpose for the clock. The alarm was never accurate from the beginning. Needless to say, we are searching for a new clock for her. ... Read more

Not terrible, but much better on Game Boy Advance.
Sonic N is one of the most hyped N-Gage games. It is also the one I was looking forward to the most. Unfortunately, it has several problems. First, the small, vertical screen of the N-Gage makes it hard to see everything. Second, it is, level-for-level, the same game as Sonic Advance.

If you are a hardcore Sonic fan, you already played this on the Game Boy Advance. It was a much better game there. All the levels are intact, with some being harder than others. There are 4 characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Rose. Control is fine, but the game is slower than it was on Game Boy Advance. This is a classic 2D Sonic game, with a plot based around getting Dr. Eggman. There are no new gameplay elements to speak of.

Sonic N is not a terrible game, it just should have been so much better. If you bought an N-Gage, then buy this, as it is one of the better titles out there. But if you have the chance, play it on Game Boy Advance instead.

Fun but already made
This is EXACTLY the same game as Sonic Advance. Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome game, but the only difference is the name and screen size. You can play as Sonic, Miles (Tails), Knuckles, and Amy Rose. When you get all the chaos emeralds which can be aquired by a speacial minigames (7 games and emeralds), Sonic gets a speacial moon stage where you can play as Super Sonic. There is also a chao garden where you can raise a chao. I took one star since you will beat it all in less than a week. If you are an older fan of the blue blur and miss the side-scrolling adventures, they have returned. ... Read more

Marble Games enter the 21st Century
Super Monkey Ball is a classic Nintendo game which has been translated onto the N-Gage. It's a simple matter of sphere-rolling physics - but it becomes great gameplay!

There was a real-life game called Labyrinth which involved a wooden maze that you guided a marble through. You tilted the maze beneath the marble, avoiding the pits and trying to make it through to the finish. The first computer game to simulate that was Marble Madness, and I played many hours on my Apple IIGS, enjoying the marble-rotation.

Super Monkey Ball is in essence the same game, but instead of a marble you have a monkey-in-a-ball, just like those toys you stick innocent hamsters (or iguanas!) into. You tilt the floor, and the monkey ball rolls appropriately down ramps, up stairs, around corners, gathering bananas for points and aiming for the goal.

There's no monsters to avoid or complicated keystrokes. Instead, it's a game of physics and momentum, building up speed where appropriate, offsetting the velocity of the ball with a careful tilt of the game floor.

Because of that, the game is incredibly addictive, because the better you get with real-world physics, the easier the game is to play. You can replay the easier levels for practice and to build up points, which unlocks fun mini-games. There are three different sets of difficulty, each with its own mazes for you to work through.

Even if you "fall off" the level you're working on, you still get credit for the points you earned up to that area, which adds up to your total points for unlocking items. So you never feel your time playing the game is wasted - it's always counted towards the total goal of opening new areas to enjoy.

Great for all ages, Super Monkey Ball is a game that traces its roots back to marble-games of hundreds of years ago - with a cute, fun twist! ... Read more
