American Girl: Julie Finds a Way
American Girl: Julie Finds a Way, développé par Webfoot Technologies et édité par THQ, est sorti sur Nintendo DS le 3 décembre 2007. Ce jeu d'aventure met en scène Julie Albright, une fille joyeuse vivant à San Francisco dans les années 1970, qui doit faire face à un nouveau quartier, une nouvelle école et de nouveaux amis, tout en explorant son univers et en jouant à plus de vingt mini-jeux. L'accueil critique a été mitigé, la presse évoquant notamment un titre perçu comme opportuniste et manquant de soin, tandis que certains joueurs ont regretté que le jeu ne transcende pas son format d'origine.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« American Girl: Julie Finds a Way reeks of a cash in. There's a distinct lack of quality or care put into this title that pretends to "get" the target demographic. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« American Girl: Julie Finds a Way is proof that some games should probably just stay better in their original intended art form. I'm sure the book has much inspiration and lessons to be learned based on the game. For that reason, it does stink that the game is so technically marred by its slow gameplay, poor framerate, and poor controls. The camera and movement of your character are so stiff you find yourself getting stuck in the most peculiar places when trying to navigate the environment. This is a shame as the environment, although a bit basic, is truly 3D and it just adds to the atmosphere of what the story of the game is trying to sell you on. The music is repetitive, but not grating. It can be noticeable, but it isn't that bothersome. You get nice little voice clips from each of the characters, which is kinda cool. I don't see how the game could ever be a 'masterpiece' per se, but any potential it brings forth is truly damaged by the technical difficulties that mar the game as you try to play through it. For that reason, I'd propose fans of the series stick to the books or possibly any other adaptations that may be the story justice. »
