    The first downfall of Build-a-Bear Workshop is that there's no spoken instructions.

    While the easiness of the mini-games and the theme may be more geared towards younger gamers, Build-A-Bear is a surprisingly fun virtual pet game that will appeal to the six and under demographic.

    Just right for little girls, but not for anyone else.

    Build a Bear Workshop captures the magic of actually building the bear, but after that the game mostly falls flat.

    There is a slight cuteness factor in Build-a-Bear Workshop, but it doesn't approach what kids would get out of a trip to the store.

    It's a rather cute create-a-friend-to-play-minigames-with cart, sadly it's just a little short on the games. [June 2008, p.71]

    I thought this would be interesting because of the idea, but no, it's just really boring! The graphics look horrible and makes me want to not play it.
