[edit] Gameplay
[edit] PS2 and GameCube
There are four playable characters: Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade. During the game, all of the sudden blue coins appear, called Blingz, which are money for the Bratz girls. There's a mobile phone menu, where you can read messages, and see the objective, what the player currently has to do.
The player can explore three locations
- Stilesville (also known as Bratz Town) - the Bratz's home
- London
- Paris
It has the explorable roam, like in the Grand Theft Auto series (The review of NZGamer called it as GTA for girls). When the player is not in an objective, he/she can take a character to collect character coins (which are can be used to buy movie clips. There are 25 for each Bratz girl), Blingz tokens, take pictures, and play mini-games for extra money. The player can do the girls' make-up in certain locations. With the collected money, the player can take the Bratz characters to shops for buying the latest trends (Campfire, Ooh La La, Rock Angelz, Midnight Dance, etc.).
The objectives of the game (except in the tutorial part) can be triggered, when the player takes the correct Bratz girl to the speech bubble and the press a button.
The mini-games can be activated to go into a place, or talk to a person.

There are nine objectives of the game. The odd-numbered objectives (Chapter 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are reflex-like mini-games, where the player has to do the tasks to collect points. Each mini-game has four rounds. When the player takes or misses the part, he'll/she'll gain lower points, at three misses, he/she has to do the round again losing amount of points. With points, the player can unlock fashions for the Bratz girls, except in the final objective.

The even-numbered objectives (Chapter 2, 4, 6, 8) are puzzle-like adventure games.

The player can take pictures on those objectives to print them on the "Secrets" menu. Each adventure objective, the player has to design an article, logo, flyer, or poster to complete the part of the objective. The player can even print his/her design. This part can be accessed on the "Secrets" menu.
When the player has beaten the game, he/she unlocks a card game, called Top Trumps, which is similar to War. The player gets a card each turn with number totals on it.

He/she goes on playing until all 28 cards are in one players possession.
