I had to give this title some credit, I am a father of two girls, a 5 year old with whom I play wii with and share many special moments with. This game’s wii remote features are really great, it works like a magic wand for her, its the best two player game out there so you can play along side her and help her out. The levels are all basically easy for them, and very complete, she gets to play scenes or character from all the mayor disney princess movies. They are very entertaining and educational, and the second best thing about the game is that she can customize her character and change her hair, color, dress, accesories, etc, I think she enjoys this more than the regular game play. The only drawback of this game is that its too short and easy to finish thru and the bad guys slightly scared her even though in my opinion they are inoffensive and even cute.
Obviously this game isn’t for older kids but my 4 and 6 year old daughters love it. They have fun creating their princesses and doing magic with their wands. They’ve played through the entire game a couple of times now & still want to play it again. Bottom line, it was worth it because they have so much fun playing.
I purchased this game as a gift for my daughter. I’m a long time gamer myself and I have found this to be one of the most well-crafted children’s games available. I even went out of my way to e-mail the game developer and let them know what a great experience our family had with it.
There are more than a few things the developer did right that make this game easily accessible to the children (mine is 4): careful placement of the gems in the environment lead to important objectives and location, forgiving Wii controls for the wand, enemies that go down without too much of a fight, goals that are verbally spoken and gently repeated at certain intervals to keep the player focused.. the list goes on.
My daughter had an amazing time with game, and while I was always there to help coach, she was challenged without being frustrated. The only real disappointment to her came when the game ended and the ‘bonus’ area was simply a brief mini-game in Belle’s Ballroom; she had really hoped to play a full level as Belle.
I really can’t recommend this game enough for your young girl, especially if she is a fan of the Princesses. She may require a little guidance at first, but the format of the game is easily grasped. The game will surely help build her confidence and puzzle solving abilities as well as encourage exploration of a 3-D environment, one of the things I think my daughter finds most challenging with modern games (3-D navigation, I mean.) I don’t regret the full price purchase one bit, if you can get it for less a purchase is a no-brainer.
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 put off buying this game for my daughter simply because it looked, well cheesy. So many of the Disney Princess items are just mass produced and lack any of the Disney “magic”. In fact, I’m quite burned out on the Disney Princess craze, even though I adore Disney in general nd go to the parks several times a year. I also thought it was just some sort of dress up game and that was it. But I finally broke down and got it for my daughter’s 4th birthday and what a surprise.
This game is so wonderful! The graphics are rich and detailed, as good as any Disney film. There is none of the jagged pixelation or “stutters” of the graphics in some of the children’s games we have for the Wii. The minute the game started, both my daughter and I got sucked right into it. My daughter played and I watched and helped when necessary. The gameplay is very intuitive and easy to figure out, but challenging enough that it’s not boring.
Instead of being thrown right into the action when the game starts, the game is like a movie or a storybook- a backstory is presented, and your character is brought through a magical castle as she is introduced to both the goal of the game and how to play the game. Yes, there is a “dress up” part at the very start of the game- and it’s really lovely and well done. Gameplay is “filmed” from many angles so as your character moves through scenes, it almost feels as if you are there, with her.
The “Enchanted Journey” itself is basically a quest to assist several of Disney’s most beloved Princesses- Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine, and Cinderella. Your character is escorted into each of their “worlds” (which are richly illustrated, animated, and scored) and given small tasks to do in order to help the Princesses out. Almost all tasks in the game are completed by waving the Wii remote like a magic wand- there are several different motions, and each does a specific kind of magic.
I have to admit, I’m not a fan of kid’s games at all but I got sucked into this one instantly. It almost felt like being on a ride at Disney. The music, the colors, the animation… it’s all really well done.
No, it’s not a long, time-consuming game. The tasks are simple. For each Princess, there are about three tasks to accomplish. For an older child, this won’t take long. But for a little girl, it’s perfect. There’s enough to see and do in this game besides the gameplay that it makes the game well worth the money.
If you are remotely on the fence about buying this for your Disney Princess fan, just do it.
I got this game two years ago when my daughter was 3. We could play it together with one holding the wand the the other walking. Two years later she still loves the game and can now play by herself. I have not been able to find another comperable wii game.
