Product Description Based on the upcoming Bratz Rock Angelz doll line and hi-stylin CGI home video, the Bratz: Rock Angelz videogame is packed with tons of adventures that not only take the Bratz girls to London and Paris, but to the height of fashion and music super stardom as well. Written on: by Bratz (1 review written) In this Bratz! Edition, Rock Angels, you can travel to London. You can buy clothes from the shops and then you can dress Chloe, Jade, Sasha or Yasmin. You can compete in dancing contests and win Blingz too! In my opinion there are no bad points about this game!
Story
Following the firing of one of the Bratz dolls from her internship at a magazine, the four girls unite to start up their own magazine. Starting a new business venture isn’t easy and the girls must go through various hurdles to see their magazine become successful, and a force to be reckoned with. The girls eventually form a rock band which becomes successful, and they also launch a successful fashion brand.
Rock Angelz 'The Bratz are back and they're here to rock, as they blaze through the charts straight to the top! With words to inspire and a-Rockin' new sound, they're an international sensation and the hottest group around!' Now that the Bratz™ has conquered the pop world, get ready to rock with them as they take the classic rocker look of the ’70s and update it for the bangin’ video.
Gameplay
You control all the four Bratz dolls throughout the game, but only one can be controlled at a time. Each girl has their own specialty, so the game switches you to the girl needed for a task. The controls are very easy and you won’t have problems all through the game.
You start the game by repairing a rundown office space and personalizing it to make it fully yours. Mission objectives consist of tasks like taking photos and checking out the latest fashion and makeup trends for your magazine.
The open world format allows you to explore four different areas. Scattered around the game world are coins that can be used to purchase various items and unlocks. You get to meet famous people and superstars in glamorous locations. You sniff around these locations for hot stories to be featured in your magazine.
You own a smartphone for performing tasks like checking coins collected, sending messages, and tracking objectives. You can change the ringtone and cover of the phone. You can design posters and T-shirts. You can also draw pictures all over the faces of the Bratz using various shades of lipsticks. You have fun experimenting with various jewelry, clothing, makeup and accessories.
You can play minigames to gain extra coins. The minigames consists of a variety of things like posing for pictures, picking up flags, picking up dropped pieces of papers etc. The coins you collect can be used to purchase clothes, music tracks, cutscenes and other things. The game’s cutscenes are numerous and lengthy.
If you are expecting the game to follow the plot of the movie, you will be disappointed. It borrows elements from the movies, but doesn’t share the same storyline as the movie.
Sponsorship Placements
The game features sponsorship placements for various products. The clothes, makeup and jewelry products are based off real-life products. This gives the game a more realistic feel.
Pros
- Ideas well-implemented
- A rare fashion/glamour focused video game
Cons
- The game is targeted at young teenage girls
- The gameplay is repetitive and monotonous
For its target audience, Bratz: Rock Angelz is an enjoyable game. Fans of the series will enjoy the girly items and trends. But for anyone else, the game is rather a borefest.

Gameplay[edit]
PlayStation 2 and GameCube[edit]
This version of the game is an open world adventure.[1] The player controls one of the four Bratz girls (Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha, and Jade) who are attempting to launch their own teen magazine.[2]
The player can explore 4 different locations; Stylesville (where the Bratz live), London, Paris, and the mansion. The objectives of the game are triggered when the player takes the correct Bratz girl to a speech bubble. During the game, coins called blings appear, which are coins for the Bratz girls. Each girl carries a cell phone, used to send messages between characters, check the amount of blings owned, and the location of the next objective. The phone's cover and ringtone can be changed.[1] The player can also collect character token coins, used to buy movie clips. There are 25 available for each Bratz girl. The game also allows players to take pictures, and play minigames for extra money. The girls' make-up can be applied as the player wishes. The Bratz can be guided to shops, to buy the latest trends with their collected blings.[3]
Minigames are activated by going to certain locations or talking to non-player characters. They include:
- Posing - The player must do the button combinations before the time runs out. In certain objectives, this minigame will be featured.
- Blown Away! - The player has to pick up pieces of paper that a person has dropped, and return them.
- Model Behavior! - The player has to take pictures in a photo booth.
- Rockin' Racerz - The player has to put on the Bratz girl's in-line roller skates, and grab the flags as fast as she can.
Game Boy Advance[edit]
The Game Boy Advance version uses the same story as the console version, but includes its own set of tasks. Progress is achieved by completing tasks in the home town of Stylesville. Halfway through the story, the girls travel to London, and prepare for a London show.
Microsoft Windows[edit]
The Microsoft Windows version of the game is different from the console version. It follows the story of the film.
There are nine objectives of the game. The odd-numbered objectives (chapter 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are reflex-like mini-games, where the player has to do the tasks to collect points. Each mini-game has four rounds. When the player takes or misses the part, the player will gain lower points. At three misses, the player has to do the round again losing a number of points. With points, the player can unlock fashions for the Bratz girls, except in the final objective.
The even-numbered objectives (chapter 2, 4, 6, 8) are puzzle-like adventure games. The player has to play with the certain Bratz character and take things to solve a puzzle (for example give a camera to a colleague). The player can take pictures on those objectives to print them on the 'Secrets' menu. Each adventure objective, the player has to design an article, logo, flyer, or poster to complete the part of the objective. The player can even print their own design. This part can be accessed on the 'Secrets' menu.
When the player has beaten the game, they'll unlock a card game, called Top Trumps, which is similar to war. The player gets a card each turn with number totals on it. The player has to guess which number on the card is higher than the opponent's card. If their correct, they win the card. They go on playing until all 28 cards are in one players possession.
After Jade is rejected by Your Thing magazine the girls decide to make their own magazine to compete against Your Thing.
