Bratz Games v. Barbie Games


Is Be-Bratz better than Barbiegirls? Of course it’s impossible to judge, but it’s very likely you have an opinion one way or the other. Be-Bratz was introduced to the world about a year ago. It was designed and developed to rival Barbie’s online site, and it has certainly given the blonde bombshell a run for her money.

Of course, there is a chance you’ve never even been on Be-Bratz.com. That would certainly be the case if you haven’t purchased a Bratz doll in the past or if you did but failed to use the UPC code that is imprinted inside each box. Be-Bratz requires special admission through the purchase of a doll. Barbiegirls, however, does not.

This might seem like a serious tip in favor of Barbiegirls, but most Bratz fans already own at least one Bratz doll, right? Anyway, Be-Bratz is full of Bratz games and the Bratz characters. You can create your own Bratz character to use as an avatar on the site and the points you earn playing Bratz games will be used to buy clothing through the virtual shopping aspect of the site.

The two sites, Be-Bratz and Barbiegirls are competing for the same group of online enthusiasts. Both are targeting girls over the age of eight or so who enjoy online activities such as Bratz games. The sites are both full of games and activities, so I guess it just boils down to this – which do you like better? Bratz or Barbies?
