Description:

In Rockett's 4th adventure at Whistling Pines, she is caught up in the excitement of the upcoming Valentine Dance, where a King and Queen will be chosen. Just as in the previous games, Rockett will have to decide what attitude she wants to take for each situation that arises, which will decide the outcome of the next cartoon segment.

More of an interactive movie than a game, Rockett's First Dance involves decisions at key points during the game, plus fun school lockers where insights can be gained into each student's personal life. Secret glasses give even more clues to what everyone is thinking about, and a photo album can be compiled by taking pictures during the action. One funny note, there is a picture gallery of 'student of the month' for each month, which look suspiciously like programmers and producers.

Report and Conclusions:

However, when asked, she did say that there didn't seem to be as many decision points as in previous games, and the story appeared to be shorter. This was also my impression when I played it through. Even so, she gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up.

The bottom line is that if you have girls who really like Rockett, then this is sure to please. If they've never played a Rockett game, then it will depend on whether they like endlessly hashing out the day's events, on the lines of "well, she said this, then I said this, and can you believe what that boy said?"
