This 'game' is unfortunately real. How the hell can Ubisoft pump out games like the new (and quite fantastic looking) Prince of Persia and yet produce this sort of utter bull shit is beyond my comprehension.
"Imagine Wrist Cutting" because that's exactly how I feel every time I see one of these "Imagine" titles. Do people buy these games? Seriously, I want to see some demographics and sales figures!
As long as your character can arm himself with a chainsaw I don't see the problem.

Have any of you seen that episode of the American Office where Angela gets that poster of jazz babies? Yep. THAT is the demographic they are going for.
Okay, Ubi I am going to tell you two words and I want you to remember it. No, you don't need to write it down it's just two words it's not hard to remember. You ready for it? Okay. Stop it!
You know what would make this game better? If the Party Babyz were mutated giants that towered over Tokyo. Also, if it didn't exist, that would probably help too.
This reminds me of a question floating around my office a few weeks back..."How many five year olds would it take to overpower you and render you unconscious?"
I think I could probably fend off around 50 or so before they became too hard to deal with.
@StupidDufus: The sequel needs to have a name in plural form so that it can include Ubisoft's all-important "Things that end in Z" branding. May I suggest: Imagine: Prom Night Slutz"

And by the way: if anyone buys this game -- anyone at all -- humanity has failed.

Wow...WOW. Ubisoft, what a bunch of sellouts. You'd never find a respectable company like Blizzard, Valve, or Bioware developing shyte like this. Just goes to show that Ubisoft isn't on the same level as those aforementioned developers, all they care about is $$$.
I work at Gamestop, and the other day a young boy walked in with his parents. He walked straight to the DS section, browsed a bit, and happily ran up to the counter with what would soon be his very own copy of... Imagine Fashion Designer.
I felt a sadness that day that permeated right into my very soul.

How do you say that? Is it Bobbeez, with emphasis on the "beez" part? That sounds like some ancient Middle eastern warlord. Maybe he'll be in the new Prince of Persia. HOORAY FOR CROSSOVERS
I had the misfortune to encounter the original (DS) version of this game up close and personal, and I was pretty horrified at both the message and the crappy gameplay.
Personally, I'm still hoping that Ubisoft will turn things around and make some games in this franchise that actually provide positive career role models for young girls. Imagine Lawyerz, Imagine Computer Programerz, Imagine Astrophyziciz...tz.

Later that day Bob was found dead as he had hung himself with his mouse cord.

The following is a serious question:
Has anyone here actually played one of these Imaginez Babyz/Horzez/Poniez/Dogz games? I mean, what is it you do in these games? What is the actual gameplay here? Is it something anyone on earth would ever want to do? Like ever?
And by the way: if anyone buys this game -- anyone at all -- humanity has failed.

I work at Gamestop, and the other day a young boy walked in with his parents. He walked straight to the DS section, browsed a bit, and happily ran up to the counter with what would soon be his very own copy of... Imagine Fashion Designer.
I felt a sadness that day that permeated right into my very soul.

Im starting to think that u need no common sense at all to enter this business.

I had the misfortune to encounter the original (DS) version of this game up close and personal, and I was pretty horrified at both the message and the crappy gameplay.
Personally, I'm still hoping that Ubisoft will turn things around and make some games in this franchise that actually provide positive career role models for young girls. Imagine Lawyerz, Imagine Computer Programerz, Imagine Astrophyziciz...tz.
