This game is great!!! Best one yet!! [Posted on 2006-08-26]
My daughter loves this game. She got it for christmas last year when she was 5 1/2. She still loves this game. And what I loved was that it took her a few days to finish, unlike some other games that she finished in one sitting, which is really frustrating to her, cause after playing the Princess and the Pauper, she kind of expects all the games to be great and have lots of things to do. The graphics are pretty cool, and there are lots of things to do, from making cakes, to making pretty stained glass windows, to decorating rooms, planting flowers and watering them and watching them grow, playing with and grooming the cats, helping the neighborhood people with tasks, and so much more, I can go on and on. I have no complaints about this game. My daughter has a nice collection of computer games, and this one is by far the best one yet! You definitely will not be wasting your money on this game!

Wow! I'm impressed.......... [Posted on 2006-09-30]
My 8 year old girl has several Disney princess games and they're stupid, so I was skeptical about this. Way better then Disney. It's an excellent game, my daughter plays all the time. In fact the whole family likes to play it. From my 3 year old son to my "tough guy" husband. We like decorating cakes and making stain glass windows in a thousand different ways. The graphics, color, and sound are great. I highly recommend it. We have not experienced a bug like another reviwer did. I have not experienced that on any of my games.

Best for 8 years old kids [Posted on 2006-11-03]
Beloved game for any 8 years old kids. Younger or older will love it too. I definitely would recommend it to anyone who asks about it.

Long game, with lots of repeats and can't finish! [Posted on 2006-11-04]
I just got this game for my 4.5 year old daughter. I played with her all day yesterday; I was happy to see that it was more challenging than the other Barbie games she has (Rapunzel and Swan Lake - both very good but a bit short and very easy). We hit a few tiny bugs that forced us to exit from a task and re-start it, but nothing too bad... until the BIG ONE. I had read that other peopple had experienced that bug, when Erika has to give flowers to three village singers and the game gives us an error message "Lip mgr.play...no loaded lip synch data" and takes us out of the game. Very frustrating! I went to the support web site indicated in the booklet, and after being re-directed to another support company site, I saw that they have other Barbie games, but don't even list this one! So NO online support whatsoever, and apparently no way to fix that bug...
Apart from the bug, I would say that overall the game is good, with very pretty graphics, good navigation and good character interactions. On the negative side, 18 tasks are too many for a small girl, especially since many involve redoing the same actions (moving and grooming a cat, making banners, etc). Even before we hit the big bug, my daughter was starting to be bored and antsy. Being able to choose 2 levels of lengths/tasks would have been a big plus.

Wonderful Game [Posted on 2006-12-19]
My six year old LOVES this game! She has played it over and over and keeps getting better at it. I am so impressed with the graphics and I like the challenges that make her think. ie. making pathways with logs, using colors to decode...stuff like that. I highly recommend this.
