Why Players Still Load It Up
Barbie: Super Model garnered mixed reviews upon release. In a 2.8-out-of-five review, Nintendo Power described the game as "a sort of Sim Model experience", writing that while fans of Barbie may enjoy the interactivity, other players will most likely not be interested at all. Writer "Miss Chlevous" of GamePro, who scored the game a 2.5 out of five, found the presentation alright but criticized the gameplay for being too slow-paced and primitive, recommending it only to Barbie fans and video game beginners.
David Sheff used Super Model as an example of the lack of difficulty common in video games targeted towards girls, while other book authors were critical towards the game for its stereotypical emphasis on sex appeal, fashion and appearance.
