Let your child escape into a fairy-tale world with the Barbie as Princess Bride CD-ROM, and help Princess Bride Barbie prepare for her magical wedding day. Prince Ken has had to undertake a long journey, and while he is away Princess Barbie dreams of her wedding day and waits for the prince's return. Barbie is helped by Butterfly Fairy in her preparations for the wedding. Invite the guests, make and decorate the cake, sing love songs, retrieve items from the well, conduct the orchestra, help Prince Ken sail home, design the wedding dress and photographs, and enjoy many more exciting fairy-tale activities.

The game can be played in two modes: Story mode plays the adventure from start to finish, and Magic Mirror mode allows players to complete the activities in any order. The CD-ROM is accompanied by an excellent booklet, which should be read before beginning. It is very easy to follow and uses simple language and visual clues. Particularly useful are the helpful tips for troubleshooting if problems arise. The music of Barbie as Princess Bride can be played on any audio CD player, by starting with track two. The manufacturer's recommended age range is 4 and older, but help will certainly be required at the lower end of the range. --Susan Naylor, Amazon.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars My Granddaughter loves this game!, December 7, 2000

This review is from: Barbie As Princess Bride (CD-ROM)

I purchased this game for my 5 year granddaughter as one of her first computer games. She is fascinated with Barbie to begin with, and the "Princess Bride" story was perfect for her, She really enjoys all of the activities that go along with helping Barbie to plan her wedding. The "Butterfly Fairy" leads the palyer through the steps of delivering invitations, decorating the wedding cake, choosing Barbie's wedding dress and selecting just the right back ground setting for the photographs just to name a few. My granddaughter just turned 5 in December and she required very little assistance with this game. It has held her interest for hours. I think she has enhanced her mouse skills significantly as well. I highley recommend this to any little girl who loves Barbie.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves it, October 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Barbie As Princess Bride (CD-ROM)

My 4 year old daughter truly loves Barbie as Princess Bride. I can't get my computer back from her once she has this Barbie in it. She has over 50 cd roms and this and Barbie Magic Hairstyler are her favorites. She walks away from Barbie Ocean Discovery but when she's using the Princess Bride or the Magic Hairstyler I can forget about getting to the computer. She loves cutting the hair, changing the styles, putting her jewelry on, etc. On Princess Bride she loves everything on that as well. These are her favorites and that is why I am giving them both Princes Bride and Magic Hairstyler 5 stars. She gets bored of all the other ones but keeps going back to these two.

2.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy for kids older than 7, January 3, 2001

This review is from: Barbie As Princess Bride (CD-ROM)

I gave this game only 2 stars because for the age of the child that used it that's all the it was worth. However, the graphics where cool, and for any child 4-8 they should love it, but older then that it was a little boring.
