GAMEPLAY
After playing this game for another hour, I found myself growing bored of it, until my baby started to learn to walk. It was an exciting moment, as if a parent was seeing his or her child walk for the first time. This game makes you think you’re a parent. The game isn’t difficult to play at all. It’s very simple, since you are just a pair of hands multitasking is a bit hard to do when you’re caring a child; one quick and swift movement of the mouse can delay your efforts into whatever you are trying to do in the game.
It’s a bit frustrating trying to care for three children at once. I’ve sent a good majority to “Grandma’s”, and I am a little sorry to say but I played mostly with the baby that I liked most. The game does loses its momentum once you’ve realized that you baby can’t do much else once it’s already learned to walk and talk. Caring for these babyz has made me very worried about my sanity.
DESIGN
The design elements of this game were simple enough. Each room was designed as a part of a house; there was the bathroom, nursery, kitchen, playroom, living room, and even a backyard. The game is interesting in the beginning and it maintains to a certain degree of the players interest and then the game surprised you when you’re baby is given the chicken pox or has the flu, you have to help the baby get better, it’s a great way to keep the player’s interested, but soon after the players will become bored because there is nothing left to do.
The game doesn’t offer anything more than just what it is. It offers the player an opportunity to play parents for a short while. This game does not help to foster social interactions, it’ll only spark the curious interest of bystanders but that’s as far as interactions go. This game offered me no ideas for my game. There was nothing to gain from this game.

SUMMARY
Babyz: Your Virtual Bundle of Joy(1999). In Babyz, your main controller is your mouse! Without the mouse there isn’t much you can do. On the screen you are a pair of hands that take care of the babyz. In this game you adopt a baby from either the adoption site provided in the game or online. After adopting a baby you have to care for it as you would a real baby meaning feed, bath, change diapers, and etc. The object of the game is to raise your baby from when you first got it until the baby can walk and talk. But the babies never grow any older leaving the game open ended. You can download multiple children, but can only keep three in the house; the rest have to be sent to “Grandma’s” . If you have a microphone you can talk to the babyz.
GAMEPLAY
This game is interesting. It’s a single player game and doesn’t require much thought. Its repetitive tasks done over and over as the days in the game pass by. The Babyz themselves have a cartoonish feel that allows the player to keep in mind that these “babies” aren’t real.
I’ve played far enough into the game where the babyz have learned how to feed themselves. But if you leave the babyz out by themselves they can wreak havoc ; such as throwing food against the walls (which you’ll have to clean as well) and throwing clothes around the room (which you will have to put away). And I found that like real children, these babyz copy what their mother (the hands) does and that’s how they learn to play the instrument provided in the game.
