 Dissapointing and frustrating on the Wii December 30, 2007
Matias Duarte (Los Angeles, CA United States)

My mother in law bought this for our 5 year niece old. She was very excited as she loves Barbie and she loves playing Wii Sports, Carnival and Making Miis. However this game is terrible on the Wii and she was soon frustrated and angry.
The Wiimote is only used in about 25% of the games and cannot be used to navigate the game menus. Our niece was very frustrated and confused because she could not understand what controller to use when. It is clear that this game was designed for another platform and just haphazardly ported to the Wii. It is a real shame because the graphics are very attractive and the games appropriate for young girls. I strongly recommend against buying this game for the Wii, maybe it is better on another platform.
 What a let down January 1, 2008

I purchased this for Christmas, since my 5 year old daughter loves Barbie Island Princess. The video preview made it look attractive, and age appropriate, but the game is such a let down. The game play is VERY slow, you are always waiting for the next screen or game to "load", and the games are too basic. The constant pauses for "loading" makes the experience very boring, and my kids got tired of this very quickly. Worst game I've experienced on the Wii, by far. I definitely don't recommend buying this.
 Good for 5 year olds. February 11, 2008

I don't know about these other reviews; maybe parents interjecting on their kid's behalf. My 5 year old daughter loves this game and has no troubles. She can play it by herself just fine. This and Mario Party8 are her favorite choices amongst the games we own!
 It's okay for a 5 year old girl January 7, 2008

I have a 5 year old daughter and she likes the game; she doesn't love it nor does she hate it. She does like the mini-games because some of them are simple. There are some that are a bit more challenging for a 5 year old and she tends to panic and give the remote to me in those instances (but then again she's only 5 years old). Her 7 year old brother will even play with her a bit on it. It's not a deep game but it does hit close enough to the 5 year old girl range.
Skip it and save your money September 11, 2008

I read some other reviews (on other sites) and so was forewarned about this game. Still, I rented the game for my four and seven year old daughters. They both hated it and asked me to return it the same day! They complained that the game was too difficult. I offered to help them play it, but they were so frustrated that they had lost interest.
Try Disney Princesses instead, if you need a game for girls ages 4 to 6.
