Bratz Gone Wild


The Bratz games might be toys, but not many people consider them tame. In fact, that’s what I love best about the games. Bratz games are pretty tame by most standards, but compared to the simplistic fashion dolls out there, the Bratz games are wild and crazy. Short skirts? Dyed hair? Heavy boots? Could such a thing even exist in our modern day society of careful, appropriate educational toys? Most certainly.

And best of all, the Bratz are educational in a sense. Bratz games don’t tell you how to play with the characters. There are no predisposed roles for the girls to play and the Bratz games are completed inventions of your own mind and creativity. To play Bratz games you must be creative and you must be an independent thinker. This is by far one of the best benefits of the game.

Rather than following the plot of a movie with preordained characters, you get to make your own characters and give them lives of their own. Very rewarding and surprising educational.
