Barbie Rewind is a collection of 17 retro Barbie games from 1991 to 2007, now available on a single platform. The games themselves have not been revamped or reworked, but rather presented in their original form with a frame to help with aspect ratio issues. This makes for a nostalgic experience for those who played the games back in the day, but may be confusing for younger players who are not familiar with the original games. The collection also includes a Dreamhouse mode, where players can decorate and arrange furniture in a virtual Barbie-themed home. This mode is a highlight of the game, with over 250 pieces of furniture to unlock and arrange.
The controls in Barbie Rewind can be a bit frustrating, as they change between games and require players to look up the button layout for each one. However, the game does offer some customization options, such as the ability to tweak the total health in certain games, which can make for a less stressful experience. Overall, Barbie Rewind is a unique collection of retro games that is sure to appeal to fans of nostalgia and retro gaming, but may not be as engaging for younger players who are used to more modern gaming experiences.
