Meet the Diva Starz - four stylish, sassy, high-energy teenagers who come across like a combination of Clueless and the Powerpuff Girls. Their favourite hangout is the Mall Coffee Spot, where they exchange gossip and chat on their mobiles while you find your way around.
The Coffee Spot is also the gateway to the four main areas - the Music, Fashion and Style Spots, and Arcade. In the Arcade you'll find cool skating game Rollerz, shopping challenge Power Purse and Diva Mark, which is like Tic Tac Toe. However, you can only play these games once you have earned some tokens by winning the Diva Challenges in the other three areas.
The object of each Diva Challenge is to create the outfit, music mix or hairstyle your chosen Diva Star will like most. Each one has her own distinctive personality; Alexa loves fashion, Nikki is sporty, Summer is into nature and Tia is internet crazy.
The best place to start is the Music Spot, where you can produce a tune by mixing and matching the available sound effects and instruments, according to whether you think your Diva Star will prefer Rock, Rap, Smooth or Dance. Apart from the annoying telephone sound effect, it's great fun and you can experiment for as long as you like before accepting the challenge.
The Fashion and Style Spots are both drag-and-drop studios where you select the clothes, colours and accessories for the perfect hair or fashion combination. Be warned: should you make an unpopular choice, the Diva Starz will be very vocal in their disapproval. Succeed, however, and not only will you be treated to arcade tokens but your new friend may reveal a secret that could help with future challenges.Price: £20
