Pop Cutie: Street Fashion Simulation Review

Pop Cutie is more of a sales simulator than Project Runway, but its mix of running a fashion boutique and creating clothes styles makes it more than just a curio. Moving around the world is a pain in the butt, but creating new fashions is as easy as matching keywords you accumulate by talking to people. You can propel your shop by hiring employees, placing ads, and utilizing models. The fashion shows even add some competition to the mix. These trappings are nice, but aren't very involved; you don't have to be a business wizard to get your shop going. The trade-off, however, is that Pop Cutie ultimately settles into a limited, ­predictable pattern.
