Monotonous and boring.
Much in the vein of games like Cake Mania and Diner Dash (which I am a fan of), I thought this game would be similar. It is kind of similar but -- I don't know if it's because of the limitations of the small DS screen or otherwise -- the only thing this really has in common with them is the time management skill (rush around to complete a certain set of tasks before time runs up). It just involves pointing at a bunch of various areas and then the babysitter (you) rushes to that area and straightens it up, and then moves onto the next area. There is a bit of a variety of functions when performing higher tasks (like feeding the baby or changing a diaper), but generally it's pretty monotonous and boring. Not to say that making cakes or bringing pizza to tables isn't monotonous, but like I said, in Cake Mania and Diner Dash, you're expected to simultaneously multi-task and balance the workload. In Babysitting Mania, there are only a few multi-step tasks that can allow you to multitask, but generally you have to finish cleaning up the living room before cleaning up the nursery (and yes, those are your tasks). And you don't even do... detailed things. Plus, even in the multi-step tasks, you have a rowdy child running around making a mess, so chances are if you take the time to pause while changing the baby's diaper and clean the living room, you'll probably have to do it again once you're done feeing the baby. You just point at the highlighted area and the onscreen babysitter cleans the area, and then you move onto the next task.
Not recommended.
Babysitting Mania!
I love time management games - like Diner Dash. In the Nintendo ds, there are only one or two games of time management and one is the Babysitting Mania. It is easier in the first part and it gets harder. I have not managed to get one half through the game yet. I have enjoyed this time management game for I play a lot of T/M on the internet.
Worst game ever
I can not believe this game it is so boring i got it because it had good reviews but all you do is run around picking up things i played one games and stopped cause i realized i litterally falling asleep. If you're over 9 DO NOT GET THIS GAME. It is only for little kids that are easily distracted. It's not even babysitting all you're doing is being the maid. All you do is clean. So seriously dont get it it's the most boring game ever.
