Buy Nancy Drew Instead 
2004-02-11
I am a fan of the Nancy Drew series and thought i would pick this up for under $10.Well i wish i would have just saved my money.Poor graphics,Barbie is hard to control.Also they dont give you too much of a background on the story.So your lost,going blindly through the whole game.So save your money and buy the Nancy Drew series.Better graphics,conrols,and a better story.
worse than the 1st 2003-04-14
This game has bad graphics and its hard to move barbie. when you have to type in your name for your badge they don't have some of the most popular names. if you are thinking about buying this game save your money and buy a barbie doll instead (you could act out your own mystery).
An Entertaining Game 
2002-12-16
Barbie Detective 2 is basically the same style as the first one, but with a different setting, a new mystery, new suspects, and this time Ken helps to solve the mystery in a way too! However, it is a little bit more challenging then the first one and it took me about an hour to figure out, even with the user's guide. Plus, Barbie is still the slow turtle she was in the first one!! Does she even know how to run?! The bottem line is that it is a fun and challenging game, but maybe to difficult for kids age 5 and under.
Not Impressed

This game was hard for me to figure out more or less my daughter. I can get half way through it then I get stuck. The only way my daughter can play it is if I'm right there helping her. The graphics and sound are nice but thats about it. The Help screen is useless. I don't recomend this game.
Detective Barbie 2: The Vacation Mystery 2002-08-31
My 8 old daughter hates this game, she would rather play the younger game Princess Bride or Pet Rescue. The graphics are great and the music fine. The premise for the game is great, however she nor I could not figure out the game, the help screen was useless. She managed to get a few clues, but then couldn't get any farther with the game. She got frustrated, as well did I. Maybe we got a 'bad' disk, but no-one will help us. I'll wait a few years and buy her the Nancy Drew series.
Terrible 2006-11-22
This was the worst game I have ever played.
Pros-
The graphics are good.
cool mysteries
Cons-
HUGE Bug when you enter the gazebo
The bug is in every copy
I bought 2 copies and the bug was in both.
DONT BUY THIS GAME
Overall, a fabulous game

A lot of people rated this game bad, but we don't see what they see. We played the first which was good. Then we played this one. We love it!!! It is just like the first, with different challenges and a different storyline. We got just what we wanted when we bought it. If you are a Barbie fan you'll love it too. The two of us reccomend it.
Good game,but................................ 
2005-08-20
This game is fun to play with.The placese are beautiful.
But there is something who stinks in this game,that if you must catch the thief at the hang liders,it`s hard.I tried many times to catch the theif in this one,but I only did it right just not more than 12 times.The boats and the motors are more easier and I think that Barbie Detective 1 is more easier than this one.
This one is good but not if you must catch the thief on the hang liders.
Boring! I'd rather kiss a toilet seat 2005-06-26
This is so dumb. I was 7 or 8 eight years old when I got this. AT first I tought I wasn't thinking. But even my mom could not figure this out. THe latest clue I found was this shadow walking around the beach. Seccond thing is that you go blind walking around without even knowing what your doing.
DO NOT BUY!
A disappointed little girl.... 2004-06-10
Why in the world would they still be selling software that only runs on a 16-bit architecture? At least, they should make an upgrade available. Who even looks at that stuff anymore? You just expect the software to run, but if you have a computer purchased in this CENTURY, this won't run. What a disappointed little girl I have.
