From the review, "Mean Girls: High School Showdown is fun to play, and you can get caught up very easily in the puzzles and challenges. I especially enjoyed the concept of your character being good or bad based on how you win the puzzles. If you love casual games, match-3 puzzles, puzzle RPGs and have double X chromosomes, it's worth investing in.
The problem with Mean Girls: High School Showdown, is that it's been done before. And, to make matters worse, it's been done better. It isn't the worst match-3 Puzzle Quest clone I've ever played. To be honest, I found myself spending two or three hours caught up in the story. But it doesn't compare to the original puzzle-RPG..."

In 2013 alone, 525 video games were released across all platforms and this year it’s expected to be even more with the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. It’s understandable that not all games can be the most interesting or innovative. Similarities are bound to happen. But what happens when originality starts to go completely out of the window and games just become one and the same? Unfortunately this trend is becoming more and more common as the years progress. I’m going to break down how five gaming trends that are completely destroying the beautiful gift of originality.
"Though the Mean Girls DS game still has Lindsay Lohan's character Cady Heron, said character is curiously missing from the game boxart.
"Her exclusion from the game cover may be an indication that Nintendo or 505 Games are not in love with her current image."
-AATG
With how she has been the last few years who could blame them for removing her off the cover.
haha oh well but If there was a ds game called party girls it would be lohan, paris and Richie ha
Not "party girls" Shang-Long, more like "stupid blonde bimbos hooked on drugs".
Unless priorly agreed in the movie contract - if the publishers want Lindsay Lohan on the cover, they have to pay her.
Why is there a Mean girls game?......I wonder if it has action sequence sex scenes like God of War.
And speaking of money, after you're done f*cking them (the hardest part of the game is actually getting them to sleep with you), they steal your money while you are asleep, and you automatically lose regardless of the path you chose during your playtime.
No one will buy the game anyway. So it doesn't really matter if she's present or not.
Just like how nobody buys those pointless "Imagine" games, eh? I know it's hard to accept -- hell, I can barely comprehend it -- but this kind of crap sells.
Not that ive watched the film *cough* but the cover shows the Plastics.
Lindsay was never properly in the plastics.
Anyway il leave you all to criticise someone you know nothing about...
So I do know a little about it *shudder.* Anyway Lindsay Lohan used to be hot and I respected her. Now she is just another Britney Spears. It is sad what Hollywood does to such beautiful women.
I'll admit I watched it, more than once too. The chicks were fuc*ing hot, I was like 18 and horny, and saw the previews of them in the santa suits and knew I needed to see this movie. It was lame but I laughed at it
Variety:
Mass-market casual games rarely make strides in innovation, relying instead on the appeal of the familiar. Paramount is doubling down on that trend by pairing tried-and-true game forms with popular films from different eras in its new three-pack of femme-friendly PC games developed with Legacy Interactive: "Pretty in Pink" represents the '80, "Clueless" the '90s, and millennial "Mean Girls" rounds out the trio. Result is derivative and pandering, but with just enough surprises to satisfy a target audience with low expectations
