Mission Runway

Germany's Next Topmodel is a licensed game of the German television show of the same name . You play as one of the ten finalists who have made it into the final round, being just one step away from starting your professional model career. At the beginning of the game, you are moving into your new home, the model loft. It is the game's central location from where you can move freely around, receive useful tips from your coach and talk to the other candidates. You determine your weekly schedule by using a PDA-like tool to set up your planned activities during the five-day working week.

The main goal in the game is to become the next top model by training for the four disciplines "Make-Up", "Fashion", "Photo Shooting" and "Catwalk" in the form of four mini-games, then presenting the results to a jury by the end of the working week. Furthermore, members of the jury will ask you five questions about the modeling world, which you have to answer correctly in 30 seconds.

During the Photo Shooting mini-game, you see yourself posing in one screen of the Nintendo DS while you are redrawing a couple of given symbols on the other screen. The Catwalk mini-game uses basically the same concept, with the addition of two foot symbols to draw, which represent the poses your model character has to perform on the catwalk.
