Fashion Craze

Fashion Craze is the release of the day at Big Fish Games. Of the preponderance of fashion themed games that hit the market recently, Fashion Craze is one of the better ones. (One of the two that I enjoyed - along with Fashion Fits!)

In this game, you run a trendy clothing store. Instead of selling finished items, you need to make the clothes to order while the customers wait. Select the fabric, deliver it to your seamstress, collect the finished garment and deliver it to the customer, along with any accessories they may want. Show them to the dressing room, wait while they try it on and then collect the cash!

You can earn upgrades for the shop as you successfully complete levels and customize the look of your store. The graphics are decent, but not stunning. There is a varied array of customers to tend to, each with their own patience level, likes and dislikes, which adds a bit of a challenge. Overall, the game was rather easy to play and enjoyable. Definitely worth downloading the demo.

I give this game a 7 out of 10!

Sneak Peak! Fashion Fits!

I tried a preview of the new game Fashion Fits! today, courtesy of Real Arcade Evaluations.

In the game, you play a sales clerk in a series of clothing stores. Your duties include stocking the clothing displays, removing clothes from the changing rooms and serving the customers in a timely manner.

Upgrades are plentiful and creative and the overall game plays very well, though not it's not too easy! I had to replay several levels to get the expert score.

The game can quickly get out of hand if you're not paying very close attention, which I liked, challenging though it was, lol.

Some tips and tricks -

• Not many yet, as I was only able to play a limited time demo, but...
• Restock the clothing shelves as soon as possible.
• Don't try to wait and see if the customers leave the clothes in the changing rooms, hoping to use those to restock, that takes far too long and it is much faster to dump those on the other rack!
• For upgrades, save up to buy the speed increase first. This will really help! The second upgrade you should get is the dresses as there is a certain level that the customers will prefer that item over the others.

I give this game a 6 out of 10, at least until I can play the full version!
