MY THOUGHTS:

I admit I do watch iCarly with my little sister if she is here or if it comes on after one of my son’s shows.  I think it is a cute show and I figured it would make a cute game.  When I got the chance to check out “iCarly 2, I join the click!” the DS game I knew my sister would love it!

Kayla’s Review (12 years old):

I started to get hooked right away. In this game you start off as the new kid at school and you meet your teachers and the principal. Eventually you meet Carly and Sam and they ask if you want to help them with the show? Of course you say yes and the next thing you know is your creating what to do on the show. You can pick anything for the show like doing cartwheels, raining raisins, smashing watermelons, and way more!  You even get to see all the other characters from the real TV show like Chuck, Mandy, T-bo, and even Gibby!

Eventually, during the game other than helping Carly, Freddie, and Sam you can help other characters with their problems that they need help with. For Instance, you can help Chuck, the evil little boy, mess with Lubert, who sits in the lobby in the hotel. As you get more into the game you can earn or shop for clothes or get furniture for your room in your house. You can also earn money by during chores around your house (dishes an watering the plants).  Once you can get some money you can go to the arcade which you could win prizes in the claw machine such as a kissing booth. You also have this thing like facebook where you add or ignore people like Carly, chuck, Sam, T-bo, Spencer, and lot of other people and  it shows the recent activity of everybody. Trust me, this  game is more entertaining than the TV show.

You get to  explore all these new locations from the show on TV, play all these crazy games, and collect and discover insane items. You hang out with all iCarly gang and try to make the most coolest iCarly  show EVER!
