American Girls Premiere: Text-To-Speech Mayhem

The American Girl brand is one of those widely beloved things, I hear. I may not have grown up with the franchise, but that doesn't stop me from trying out the PC game from 1997 and all its absurd voices!

    We were so proud of ourselves for figuring that one out. It was "Sexx Laws" from Midnite Vultures (we were in elementary school-- our parents didn't really have any CDs off limit in their collection). I still giggle sometimes at a scene we had where two "actors" playing corpses argue about who's supposed to be playing the dead person in the scene, and then two men come in carrying a third body saying "Corpse Delivery". It's the weirdest inside joke.

    @@Terestrasz This is totally a thing kids would do. Make some ludicrous running joke and laugh endlessly about it. I remember playing Polly Pockets with a friend, and I had some lunatic in a pink Volkswagen Beetle occasionally drive through and wreck everything. Also, when playing 'house' with friends, potty-training the children (which were stuffed animals I had, rather than actual dolls) always involved explosions. Because nothing's funnier than juvenile bathroom humor.

    My sister tried to make a character in Opening Night say "Booooooooriiiiiiing!" but she typed "BBBBBBBOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG". So the result was it saying every single letter which I thought was hilarious. Unfortunately my parents took the game away from us because of that ( as well as the play my sister made where the characters were talking about how horrible of a person I was. Bitch.) With this game, we didn't do it - though my sister did type "BBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG" once just to give me a warning that this game does it as well.

    As someone who was OBSESSED with American Girl back in the day (seriously, for a while we had our own private shopper at their Chicago store, it was insane), I can shed a bit of light as to why this program is about plays. See, in an effort to make the dolls and books more of a franchise, spin-off titles were published. These ranged from cookbooks to paper dolls to a collection of short plays. These plays were all just the first book in each respective girl's series- Kirsten's play was "Meet Kirsten," just condensed. The preview scenes you can view from each girl are actually just segments from each play. This is also why the Samantha play was included- to give users a chance to see what the plays were about (and then go buy the rest).

    I had this as a kid and would always write crazy stuff with my family like, “Where’s the bathroom? I have to go poo-poo.” The text to speech made everything even funnier. If I wanted a character to yell and typed out, “Aaaahh!” the text to voice would pronounce every letter individually instead of one sound. I liked using Samantha’s world for writing mysteries in particular. On a completely different note, I would love to see the movie The Room acted out on American Girl Premiere.

    i know this video is six years old at this point, but as an adult collector and former child that grew up with american girl dolls, i really appreciate that you didn't make fun of dolls or the concept of the brand (at least in what it originally was)! pleasant company produced a LOT of play scripts, theater kits, and dress like your doll outfits. i think a lot of the focus on plays comes from the way most kids play with their dolls, which is acting out stories and scenarios, just like a play! i used to come up with bizarre scenarios all the time to act out with my dolls, so your stories made in the program isn't out of left field lmao

    A lot of the props in this game are actual American girl furniture (such as the side chair at 6:22, that was included in the Felicity set). For a kid really into American girls, it was so cool to be able to make a play with stuff that you own in real life.

    I had this game as a little girl and I loved the crap out of it! I even still have the baseball hat somewhere, though it's much too small for my gargantuan adult head. We also had a Simpson's game that was similar to this. No text-to-speech, but it had voice clips from the show from nearly every character you could ever want. Does anybody know what that game was called?

    LOL oh wow I never thought you would review something like this. XD I loved American Girl growing up, I didn't have this game but had the Dress Designer one. American Girl made activity book/kits to go along with their dolls (cooking/crafting/etc) and one of them was a series of plays and theater related things with scripts and things, so I am assuming this game was born from those materials as well. A computer game about making a play with these girls isn't too much of a stretch because most of the girls in their stories do participate in a play or some sort of production. The text to speech thing is a little... wow. I would be interested in seeing how you like the American Girls Dress Designer game though! Don't worry, there's actual dialogue in it, no creepy text to speech. XD
