Are you a Coco girl?
MetroGames may be based in Argentina, but some of their Facebook game releases have been huge hits in the United States. Auto Hustle gave Grand Theft Auto fans a place to express their inner crime lord, while Fashion World and Mall Dreams appealed more to young girls who wanted to build a retail empire. The company’s newest release returns to the fashion theme and expands on it. Coco Girl, currently in beta testing, offers fashion fans a chance to play the expert by rating and reviewing thousands of unique outfits. Through Coco Girl on Facebook everyone can become a fashion critic.
Although MetroGames focused on more male-orientated games like Auto Hustle for the past few months, it’s returning to the formulas that appeal to girls for the rest of its Facebook developments. Players will start with an avatar that they can customize to match their facial features or to build the model of their dreams. Travel around the game world to a variety of shops carrying thousands of clothing and accessory options, and perfect your favorite outfit. Other players will view and rate your compilation. High ratings on your creations award you with Rubies. Rubies allow you to buy even better clothing and new accessories to craft better outfits with.
In between trips to the shops and decorating your avatar, you can play a variety of fun mini-games as well. Gamble at the Fashion Slots, find the hidden objects in Elusive Treasures, and solve classic pipe puzzles in Love Machine. While these mini-games aren’t revolutionary, they do offer a good alternative to decorating and buying clothing. Coco Girl is similar to many other fashion games on Facebook, but it does differentiate itself with high quality graphics, a large library of fashion choices, regular weekly and monthly updates and plenty of interaction between players.
Getting your Facebook friends to vote highly on your outfits won’t be enough to bring you to the top of the charts. You’ll need to impress as many other players as possible to gather a large cache of rubies. This gameplay isn’t as involving as a strategy or farming game, but it will appeal to a wide range of fashion fans who want to take a curatorial role. Place the part of a fashion editor instead of a mall manager or supermodel with the new Coco Girls. You can discuss this new game and other fashionable Facebook applications at the Face-Gamer.com forum.
