ok... so im 29yrs old... i love my DS... and i love time management games

i was actually recommended this game several times by amazon (based on my past purchases)... but kept ignoring it, thinking it was a kids game... finally, out of desperation for a new game, i decided to give it a go.... and i was VERY surprised!

i have played a lot of time management games... and i have to say this is probably the most challenging!

you are a babysitter primarily... the aim of the game is to get the house spotlessly clean and the kids to bed on time

each level opens with you walking into a house full of dirty laundry, nappies needing to be changed, general mess and kids running wild

the kids will not go to bed until the house is clean... problem is, these kids are little terrors... so no sooner do you clean something, than they will come along and mess it up again

so each level is basically you playing catchup with the kids... trying to keep on top of their mess and get them to bed as close to the bed time as possible...
the closer to the bedtime that you get them asleep, the better your score... and if you get them in BEFORE bedtime, you get a big bonus...
if the parents come home before you have finished, then u fail the level

one thing i found a little odd about this game is that there is ZERO explanation of what to do... and no tutorial... so u kinda have to figure everything out for yourself... if you're used to time management games, you should be able to cotton on pretty easy... but someone else might struggle at the beginning to work out exactly what they're doing

as you progress through the game... the houses get bigger and the families get bigger...
at times it seems impossible... you're overwhelmed by a house that's a complete mess... and every time u clean something, it is messed again in a second

so... some tips for u...

*start with the laundry
laundry is the one thing in the house that is finite... in other words, once u pick it up and do a load, its done... the kids do not create more laundry while you're there... so as soon as you walk in, before you even begin dealing with the kids or mess, go round the house collecting all the laundry and get it in the machine

*use the coffee machine
without instruction, it took me a few levels to figure this one out... but it basically speeds you up for an amount of time... very handy!

*tap the kids
tapping the kids with your stylus gives them a kinda "time out" and freezes them for several seconds... this feature, along with the coffee boost, are your top tools in catching up

as i said at the beginning, this is a challenging game... but once you find a rhythm and method that works for you it can be quite fun... but also, quite repetitive...
there are a lot of levels... which is great, i suppose... but in this case it can get a little boring... normally in games you might gain new skills as you progress through levels or face different challenges, but that isn't the case here... and although the houses are getting bigger and there's more kids, unfortunately it still feels like you're just doing the same thing over and over again

however what you're doing is still challenging and fun... and we usually complain that these types of games are too short! plus I suppose you can always take a break from it, and come back to it at another time

obviously I gave this game 4 stars... so I certainly recommend it to lovers of time management

I chose this rating because this game was no good. My grandchild played this game for 3 days and it just quit working. I will not ever purchase anything from this company. I would not advise anyone to buy this unless you want to throw your money away.

Diner dash and such style of game. I love it. You have to run around and clean the house all the while the kid is messing it up on you but good thing is you can knock him out for a few seconds and rush to finish cleaning ! LOL

2.0 out of 5 stars Monotonous and boring.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2009
Much in the vein of games like Cake Mania and Diner Dash (which I am a fan of), I thought this game would be similar. It is kind of similar but -- I don't know if it's because of the limitations of the small DS screen or otherwise -- the only thing this really has in common with them is the time management skill (rush around to complete a certain set of tasks before time runs up). It just involves pointing at a bunch of various areas and then the babysitter (you) rushes to that area and straightens it up, and then moves onto the next area. There is a bit of a variety of functions when performing higher tasks (like feeding the baby or changing a diaper), but generally it's pretty monotonous and boring. Not to say that making cakes or bringing pizza to tables isn't monotonous, but like I said, in Cake Mania and Diner Dash, you're expected to simultaneously multi-task and balance the workload. In Babysitting Mania, there are only a few multi-step tasks that can allow you to multitask, but generally you have to finish cleaning up the living room before cleaning up the nursery (and yes, those are your tasks). And you don't even do... detailed things. Plus, even in the multi-step tasks, you have a rowdy child running around making a mess, so chances are if you take the time to pause while changing the baby's diaper and clean the living room, you'll probably have to do it again once you're done feeing the baby. You just point at the highlighted area and the onscreen babysitter cleans the area, and then you move onto the next task.

Not recommended.
