Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze, a video game based upon Mattel's Monster High toy line, is now available for the Nintendo 3DS, joining existing versions for Wii and Nintendo DS.
DHGF: Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze can best be described as a blander version of the Mario Kart titles. The core game is mechanically sound, with various different racers to pick from and a light sampling of tracks with which to play on. Being able to swap characters on the fly is a neat concept, especially since it allows you to put together a balanced team to accommodate any track. Yet somehow, the races themselves fail to inspire much excitement with the limited amount of racers that compete at any given time, and the small selection of tracks make obtaining unlockables more of a chore than it otherwise should. Also, the various abilities and items granted to the racers don’t offer the kind of thrills one would reasonably expect from a game of this type. Kids and hardcore fans of the license will likely be perfectly fine with the game. For everyone else, unless you’ve completely mastered Mario Kart 7 and have a void to fill, I’d give it a pass.

"When the release of the Majesco-published Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze video game was announced for the 3DS last month, my eyes rolled so far back I swear I could see what I was thinking. Regardless, I requested and received a copy of this game for review from developer Little Orbit. After trying it out, I must say that I was rather surprised by the fact that I actually had fun playing it - even if the game itself isn't perfect."
Little Orbit brings a classic racing game formula featuring these popular Monster High characters to the 3Ds with the release of Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze. You’ll race your way through a variety of courses, indoors and out, using a team of characters you chosen from your favorites. With hairpin turns, collectable powerups, and loads of bumping, it’s roller derby Monster High style.
cool!
'I can't wait to graduate and go to Monster University'
I don't understand the appeal of this show to kids, granted I'm not exactly the target audience. I really don't. I even understand why some kids like MLP (No brony), but not this show.
It might just be cause the commercials are short, but from what I've seen of this show, the writing is TERRIBLE! In the most recent one, one of the characters says "We're trapped here forever ever." Who says that?
