About "All Grown Up: Express Yourself"

In "All Grown Up," the familiar babies formerly from the "Rugrats" TV show,

are now a tight-knit band of friends between the ages of 8 and 13, who face

the same issues kids their age face every day: dealing with parents, peer

pressure, seeking independence, grappling with identity, climbing the social

ladder and surviving Jr. High School. "All Grown Up: Express Yourself" game

players will complete missions based on the show to help Angelica create a

good article for the school newspaper. Along the way, they can acquire

different clothes, accessories, wallpaper and music, as well as unlock seven

different mini-games and bonus accessories. Once players have collected

these items, they can customize the main menu and trade accessories with

friends using the Game Boy Advance Game Link(R) Cable. Players can also use

the electronic organizer to save important information about friends, plan a

schedule for the week or store personal information, which can also be

swapped (private information can be blocked). An All Grown Up character test

tells players which character they most resemble. Players can also input

their own topics and pass the Game Boy Advance around to collect and tally

votes.
