Editorial Reviews

Product Description:
Miuchiz are the latest in virtual companions. They’re interactive, digital, colorful characters that you can personalize and stylize. Each fun friend comes with a full-color screen, touch-screen response and motion sensors. Play alone, with friends or even online. Your most important mission is to become part of the Miuchiz community. Once you plug your Miuchiz friend into your computer, you open up a whole online community called Miuchiz World, where you can engage in chat sessions with friends and download cool stuff to your handheld unit.

Each character offers a different type of fun. With Miuchiz Bratz Babyz, you can check out your inventory, go to the mall for shopping or even relax at the spa in One Player Mode. In Two Player Mode, you can wirelessly interact with friends, give gifts, call out to other Miuchiz characters and compete in games.

Includes one electronic handheld game, color touch screen, motion sensor, USB cable to connect to your computer, IR sensor for two-player mode and joy pad and buttons. Requires 3 “AAA” batteries (included). Measures 4.75″L x 2.75″W x 1″H.

Amazon.com Review:
“I’m Cloe! I’m not a drama queen—more like a drama princess!” Welcome to a whole new world of virtual friends…the world even has a name: Planet Mion. Players can interact with the Miuchiz personal digital character (Bratz Babyz Cloe, in this case) in all the usual virtual companion ways (keeping Cloe happy, fed, and amused), but then they can step up the action by plugging the unit into a computer’s USB port to go online to Planet Mion. Here Cloe interacts live with any other Miuchiz characters that happened to be plugged in—anywhere in the world (Earth, that is)! She can shop, connect with new and old friends, visit a salon, try on clothes, and play oodles of games.

The three main modes of play—single player, two player, or on-line—allow Cloe’s Earthling friends to interact with her any time, anywhere. They can even help Cloe trade items with other Miuchiz pals. Keep in mind that in the on-line mode players (with Mom and Dad’s help) will first have to set up an account and download software to their computer. Twenty-first century kids, savvy about technology, will have no problem navigating through Planet Mion with Cloe. Parents can rest assured that, even when entering the on-line mode, there are enough checks and balances to make sure all interactions are kid-friendly and age-appropriate. Requires three “AAA” batteries (batteries are included for demonstration purposes only).–Emilie Coulter


Customer Reviews

Great game by Terri Hinds
I bought this game for my then 10yrs old that was back at christmas 2006. The hand held has held up great to this day. yes there are updates but that has been few and far between. It helps if you have a very fast connection so that when the hand held syncs with the online world it wont take long. The virtual world is the best part of the hand held. my son plays for hours on end and always wants to go back for more. there have been a few times when the site was done but that to has been few and far between. I gave this a 5 star for a great virtual world to play in and the hand held being a great device. The key to the success of this hand held is a very fast connection to the internet.

Poor delivery, Poor QUALITY by Ruokui Liu
GOT IT AFTER ALMOST A MONTH FOR ITS STANDARD DELIVERY

ONLY USE IT FOR 2 WEEKS, IT CAN’T WORK NOW.

Will only collect dust by S. Hurckes
I bought this for my 8yr old daughter after she saw an ad on TV and “had” to have one. She played with it a handfull of times and hasn’t looked at it since. Who knows maybe she is too old for this one?

Fun but too many bugs. by R. Price
My 6 year old loved the interactive aspects of her Cloe. She liked buying new clothes and playing the simple games on it. So she had her $15 worth of fun.I would not have paid more than that for it though.

We had a horrible time trying to download patches and connect to the website,so we finally gave up on that idea.

But the item would often have to be completely reset,as a programming glitch would not allow her to play video games if she was hungry,but she didn’t have enough money to buy food. This happened several times,causing my daughter to lose all the “stuff” she had managed to accumulate. Maybe a lesson in spending smarter,but it wasn’t done deliberately.

Yasmin was even worse,the screen completely fritzed out after a couple days of play.
