Summary
Barbie: Explorer lets you and a friend dash through exotic locales—Tibet’s icy cliffs, Egypt’s sun‑baked ruins, and a lush African jungle—while hunting four jeweled relics tied to a mysterious Mystic Mirror. The game leans heavily on platforming: you’ll run, jump, swing on vines, climb crumbling walls, and even dive underwater to dodge traps and avoid wandering camels, elephants or goats that act more as moving scenery than foes. There’s no combat button; success comes from timing, puzzle‑solving and keeping one step ahead of the environment’s dead‑ends. Critics were split: PSX Nation dismissed it as a G‑rated Tomb Raider copy with clunky controls, while GameZone praised its nonstop action and gave it an 8/10, calling it a kid‑friendly arcade adventure in the spirit of the classic series.
Storyline
While working as a reporter, Barbie discovers an ancient mirror in a museum that is missing four pieces, and she decides to travel the world to locate the fragments. The adventure in Barbie: Explorer takes her to three regions that are available from the start—Tibet, Egypt, and Africa—each divided into three levels and ending with a boss battle. A fourth, unlockable area, Babylon, becomes accessible later in the game. After retrieving all four artifacts, Barbie returns to the museum, places each piece in its proper spot on the mirror, and restores its power, concluding the story.
