Miss Drama Queen

All girls out there have at one stage or another fancied being the belle of the ball. Fortunately for us ladies Miss Drama Queen will help you achieve this through your mobile – and who knows, if you pick up a few tips perhaps you’ll make it happen in real life?!
Rightly or wrongly this game is a bit like how a classic Disney princess could be if made for the modern day. The rather dated ‘classic’ appearance of Cinderella has been given a totally new look which is far more current and you will be pleased to see she’s lost the huge puffy ball gown in favour of something much more chic and daring!
The object of the game is to complete the 9 mini-games which equate to a different stage in the competition to become the prima donna, beauty queen. The first game to successfully accomplish is of course, shopping, or more to the point, shopping for five items when working to a tight budget. This will test your memory (as you’ll have to hunt around and recall which shop sells the correct item on the list and also take full advantage of the sales.) If you successfully pass this game, you will have to balance on a board and ball whilst juggling balls. Although I can’t quite see Kate Moss ever going through such a stunt, I could well picture modern desperate fame-seeking girls degrading themselves to be discovered. This game is made more fun as you have to dodge some falling objects and of course catching others.
Some challenges are quite likely to be considered as part of the real talent show style games we have all seen make an appearance on many TV channels, however, I must say some of these games are far more likely to be purely tongue-in-cheek fun at the very superficial modelling industry.
The games are very straightforward, although there are some absolute stinkers to stop you dead in your tracks in becoming the drama queen that you wish to be. The cookery challenge and the IQ test I found particularly hard. For the cookery game you have to be familiar with the ingredients and preparation of a traditional dish e.g. paella has eight ingredients and comes from Spain.
So in brief, this game tests your general knowledge and not just your maths skills or juggling ability. Clearly this game was developed for girls on the other side of the Atlantic as it has a cheerleading competition, but in fairness this doesn’t detract from the game too much and translates well to us over here in the UK.
There’s quite a bit of fun and light-hearted amusement injected into this game so even though its giving your brain and thumbs a workout it doesn’t really feel like it. Another fun feature is that you can not just play the mini-games by themselves but also look at and send the messages which have been ready-made to your friends, which are suitable for nearly everyone on any occasion!
