Bratz: Rock Angelz is a 2005 video game based on the popular Bratz fashion doll line. This is the first Bratz game published by THQ. It is based on the direct-to-DVD movie Bratz: Rock Angelz and the toyline affiliated with the same name. Since the release, it has 1.4 million sold copies, becoming one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo GameCube and on the Sony PlayStation 2.
This version of the game is an open world sandbox adventure, similar to the Grand Theft Auto (it even shares the same RenderWare engine with the Grand Theft Auto, most especially the Grand Theft Auto III-era games). The player controls one of the four Bratz girls - Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade - who are attempting to launch their own fashion magazine.
Jade had taken a job as an intern for her favorite fashion magazine known as Your Thing. A problem, caused by the "Tweevils" Kirstee and Kaycee, results in Jade being fired by the CEO, Burdine Maxwell. Her friends decide to cheer her up by suggesting they start their own magazine. After redecorating an old office the four girls launch Bratz Magazine. Later the girls launch their own line of fashion and form a rock band.
The player can explore three locations; Stylesville (also known as Bratz Town), London and Paris. The objectives of the game are triggered when the player takes the correct Bratz girl to a speech bubble. During the game blue coins called blingz appear, which are money for the Bratz girls. Each girl carries a mobile phone, used to send messages between characters, check the amount of blingz owned and the location of the next objective. The phone's cover and ringtone can be changed. The player character can also collect character coins, used to buy movie clips from the 25 available for each Bratz girl, take pictures, and play mini-games for extra money. The girls' make-up can be applied as the player wishes, the Bratz characters can be guided to shops, to buy the latest trends with their collected blingz.
