If there existed a tower of sexist games then I suppose My Little Baby would probably have the penthouse suite. It would appear on first glance that young girls love little more than an opportunity to enter a virtual world where taking care of a baby and frantically cleaning surfaces are of the highest priority. You’ll find yourself cleaning rooms, upon entering them, and being horrified at how disgusting the place is. At any given moment a room could suddenly look as though a team of mud-wrestlers had been training there. I suppose this exaggerated level of dirt is a good thing since an anxiety-ridden and paranoid mind is most certainly an active one.

This game is repetitive but no more so than Nintendogs which kids seem to love so I can’t focus on this as a negative. One thing I will say, which is also true of Nintendogs, is that you can expect to hear words being shouted into the DS over and over as a child attempts to teach their baby how to talk, which I might add is pointless until the baby is around nine months old.

The graphics aren’t great but this is always the way with this type of game, just have a look at Catz, Dogz, Hamsterz, or other similar titles and you’ll see exactly what I mean. The sounds suit the game with simple effects such as play-music which your baby can listen to and garbling baby-talk which is quite realistic.

You can take a trip to the shops and purchase new food, cleaning items, clothes, and toys for your little bundle of joy. You shouldn’t worry about a lack of funds since as long as you do a good enough job you’ll have a regular income from your family and neighbours although I have to admit that I’m unaware what happens if you do a bad job as I happen to be something of a super-parent.

The best thing about this game is that it will take a bit of time and effort and anyone playing will need to acquire some patience. This training will come in handy when your little girl reaches the age of about 13 and she is ready to be knocked up in reality by some idiot at her school who’ll never want to see her again let alone acknowledge his offspring.

This is much more of a spectator activity than a game but ever since the first Tamagotchi was released this has become a craze for younger people and I am confident that, since most young girls seem to have an interest in taking care of infants, they’ll most likely appreciate My Little Baby.
