 A good starter Wii game for your little princess June 5, 2008

We bought this game for $19.99 and for what we paid, we're pleased with the purchase. Our daughter is 5 and wanted to play more games than Wii Sports or Wii Play, but really doesn't have the coordination and control to play the more advanced games with us. This game was a good compromise. She loves the fact that she got to design her own character to 'help' the princesses, choosing her physical features, clothes and jewelry. Visiting the princesses and 'talking' with them also gave a thrill, (Ariel & Jasmine are the 'Easy' levels, Cinderella, 'Medium', and Snow White, 'Hard'). She also enjoyed completing each chapter and being able to see how her progress evolved. We liked the fact that she didn't get frustrated with the game, and we could see her Wiimote skills improve as she progressed through the game.
Pros-
-You meet and help Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella and Snow White, good amount of Princess interaction.
-Storyline is explained verbally, your child doesn't have to be a great reader to follow the story and directions.
-Using Wiimote as a magic wand
-Gem trails are used to show where to go next, and the helper pixie reminds you where you need to be heading to complete the next task.
-Mini-games in each chapter emphasize following directions, pattern recognition, and use of both nunchuck and Wiimote.
-After game is complete, you can go back and replay mini-games if desired.
Cons-
-Game is rather short. Playing and completing 1 chapter a day will finish the entire game in 2 weeks.
-Bogs are a little scary at first, and the head bad lady 'Zara' you meet after completing all 4 princesses could be scary for some children.
-Gems have no monetary value, it would have been nice to actually be able to spend them to accessorize your child's character.
-Rather slow loading times between scenes, could be frustrating for child.
-Once game has been completed, you unlock 1 mini-game with Belle, more games or another task to complete would have been better.
Our daughter is already asking to design another character and replay the game, so we consider the $19.99 well spent. Playing the game definitely helped with her hand-eye coordination and Wiimote control and she didn't notice many of the things we considered cons. I'd definitely recommend it as a good beginning game for a Disney Princess fan.

My daughter, age 6, loves this game. She can play it on her own. Occasionally she still needs help. Even her little brother, age 3 1/2 will watch her playing. He'll watch it like a tv show.

I bought this for my little sister, an 8 year old, and she enjoyed it but she played it for less than 8 hrs and beat the whole game! The reason for this? The little princess can NEVER die, the game is not timed and it is super easy! Each chapter takes about 15 minutes to finish and the bogs(the creatures u have to kill) die in one magic trick! Like I said, she enjoyed the game but it is not worth [...]... for [...], it should've lasted a like 2 weeks... this game is worth $10, only because the graphics are nice but WAY too easy for an 8 yr old.
A great game for little girs! September 11, 2008

First of all, I cannot believe that this game has so few reviews. So, here I go. My four year old loves this game. As mentioned by others, this games does have a small learning curve, but overall my 4 1/2 year old did fine. Her older sisters helped her the first few plays and now she is fine.
My seven year old likes this game as well because she is into princesses and Disney. I would recommend this game for 4 to 6 year old girls in general.
My only complaint is that in two-player mode only ONE princess gets to wear the crown. This causes unnecessary envy and arguing, but it is also an opportunity to teach 'sharing' and 'taking-turns.' Overall, this is a good game for this age-group.
