Players have the chance to join "Team Barbie Detective" in Mattel Interactive's Detective Barbie: The Mystery Cruise. Like the earlier PC releases Detective Barbie and Detective Barbie 2, this game is a mystery adventure designed for girls (and mystery-loving sleuths of all ages). Unlike its predecessors, however, Detective Barbie: The Mystery Cruise was designed specifically for the PlayStation console.

The game supports two players who are encouraged to explore a large cruise ship and three tropical ports-of-call in search of clues that will help solve the mystery of some valuable missing artwork. Luckily, players will find many vehicles and gadgets in Detective Barbie: The Mystery Cruise to help them along the way.

Manufacturer's description:

Here's a new line for Barbie's incredibly long résumé: sleuth.

That's right--the gal who brings glamour to everything that she does is hot on the trail of an art thief, and she needs your help to solve the case. Join her on a tropical cruise on which she'll uncover clues, unravel the mystery, collar the crooks, and return the stolen island art to its rightful owner.

As in the board game Clue, you'll find that the evidence incriminates different suspects with each new game, which keeps the mystery fresh every time that you play.
Also, this adventure game is for one or two players; so, consider bringing in a friend for backup.

Features:
* Adventure game, starring Barbie
* Join tropical cruise and solve art-theft mystery
* Use variety of gadgets to uncover clues and nab thief
* Different culprit each time you play
* For 1 or 2 players
