Summary: Limited, but hilarious
Comment: Granted, this game is incredibly limited - those computer voices, few characters, props, and scenes, stupid music- but I still find it fun. I haven't played this game in years, and yet it still brings me fun after all this time. It's a little challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it it can be very entertaining. I wish they would come out with a new version with the rest of the girls and better features.

Summary: Work In Progress.......
Comment: This game is difficult to figure out. For the company's target range eight years and up need a simpler format to follow. It would've been nice for the characters to show step by step instructions.

Summary: BUY THIS GAME!!
Comment: This is the single greatest computer game ever. I recieved it when I was in 5th grade...and now I'm in college and I still look back fondly on it. I'm only now realizing the impact it has had on me creatively. I have a firm understanding of story structure, staging, and character development and interaction, all because of the stupid little joke plays I used to make on American Girls Premiere! It really is both fun and educational--even if you just play around with it, like I did. Some of my friends' and my greatest inside jokes come from this game--we still love to relive the hilarious dialogue and sound effects we made up ten years ago! Every young girl should have this computer game, I cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

Summary: Amazing Animation
Comment: Some of the above reviews have missed the true beauty of American Girls Premeire. Yes, you can use computer-generated voices but the program also allows you to record your own voices. Different people can record the voices of the different characters. It's an awesome way for kids to experiment with their "voice acting" abilities.
I'm a multimedia developer myself but this program still amazes me even though it's now been around for many years. My daughters had a blast playing with these "virtual puppets" when they were young. In fact, my youngest daughter just got a laptop computer for her high school graduation and so we pulled out the old American Premiere CDs and she's having a ball with the program all over again. I can here her laughing as I write this.
By the way, much to my surprise, even though this program was created in the Windows 98 era, it's running beautifully on my daughter's Vista computer! Wonderful software for girls who enjoy making up their own stories or plays and a wonderful way for them dip their toes into the world of animation!

Summary: Too Funny
Comment: Sure the graphics are horrible, but this game is hilarious. It's really old, and it sometimes it doesn't work, but a lot of the time it brings a smile on my face and to my friends. I agree that this software is more fun when used to create your own plays. The boring normal American Girl stories are lame. Ones that you can come up with are probably more funny to you.
As for the robotic voices, I use a microphone and record my voice. Now let me tell you, I'm great at making funny voices, especially for these types of plays. I recommend this game so much. It's endless what you can do if you just think up of some stupid story.
