CSM writes: "The follow-up to last year's My Baby Girl and My Baby Boy, MY BABY: FIRST STEPS picks up where the first game left off, with a soon-to-be-toddler who's ready to start walking and talking. Players begin by choosing their baby's gender, as well as skin, hair, and eye color (more adventuresome players can leave it all up chance), before being thrown into the ring as the parent of a 15-month-old child about to say his or her first word and take his or her first steps."
GamerDad writes: "In the original My Baby Boy/Girl game on Nintendo DS, you helped raise a virtual baby from birth to its first step. Now in the sequel, My Baby: First Steps for DS and Wii (Wii version reviewed here), you'll be continuing on, raising your baby to help it walk with more confidence and teaching its first words."
Generally, My Baby: First Steps helps teach responsibility and while the player can still shut the game off, it definitely shows how needy little ones really can be when you're the one taking care of them. So, if you're looking for a game that will keep you busy with baby chores and a lot of choice then you'll love My Baby: First Steps, just make sure you realize it's not the real deal. In general, a fun, once and a while, game to play. The tasks, while interesting, do get repetitive, thereby decreasing the amount of time one will want to play it in a single sitting.
