My 4 year old received this as a gift this Christmas. She was very excited to start playing with it. It did show up in color, but the picture quality was terrible. The flowers you step on to dance don't always register that she has stepped on them and she had to stomp hard. The timing of the dances is awful and it bores her quickly. It runs on batteries and after turning it on the second time the button wouldn't turn off so it just wore the batteries down.

She probably won't play with it again. It has sat in the corner since Christmas day. Don't waste your money.

My 12 year old son saved up his allowance for over a month to buy a great Birthday present for his 4 year old sister. He thought the Barbie Dance party game would be neat since she always tries to play the older kids X-box. This seemed like a good alternative to a video game. My daughter was so exited when she opened it and wanted to play with it right away. My husband had to monkey around with it for 10 minutes just to get a color picture, which was terrible anyway. She had to stomp on the flowers and she was bored with it in 10 minutes. My son was so disappointed that he had wasted all that money on a useless game. We ended up returning it and he got her a huge craft set that she loves. This was such a pain in the neck, I would have rated it 0 if I had the option.

My daughter really wanted this item so we purchased it and 15min after she started using it the screen went to black and white. We replaced the batteries, poof!! it was color again. It looks as though this item should not be battery powered. Very cheap poor quality item. I can't beleive this was the hot Chritmas item! I know there are a lot of dissapointed purchasers out there. Buyer be afraid...be very afraid.

When these first came out I think some of them didn't handle the cold and got messed up. My first one I got had some problems, but I got a replacement, and it has been the funnest thing. You hook it up to your TV, and up comes about 20 different songs to choose from. The are all marked with difficulty ratings. After picking your song Barbie does 4 steps and you have to follow after her by stepping on the right colors in the right order. You get better scores if your timing is on too. After finishing the song she rates your score. My neighborhood comes over and they have competitions to see who can get the best score on the hardest level. Problems only happen if you try and run on low batteries.

This was a present for my six year old sister. She screamed with delight at the sight of the box on Christmas morning! The box looked exciting. When my parents installed it, the picture came up in black and white. The box shows it in colour. My sister was disapointed, but she just wanted to play the game. I chose the first difficulty level just in case the others were too hard. The game itself is very boring. There are four coloured flowers on the mat, all you have to do is stand on them. Sophie (my sister) tried the first three levels and beat them all easily. But the fourth level was so fast that she could hardly keep up with the lights. She cried, 'Abby, you try!' . Now I am normally quite good at dancing games, having owning a dance mat myself, but I couldn't beat the last level. This game is a total waste of time.

my 5&3 year old cousins have the barbie dance Party Game. They love it! i was over there for thanks giving and i was playing with it with my cousins. i am 11 years old and a bit to old for barbie but i must edmit this game is prety fun!! this game has 4 levels of dificulty and many different beats to choose from. as the levels go up the fasterit goes and the trickier too. you move from simple 2 steps to fast 5 steps and doubles ( that is hitting two squares at once)the tunes are ok though i think it would be great if u could hook up a cd player to your own music but i gues you could mute the volume and play a cd!! ^_^
it is easy to set up just simply plug it up to your tv switch your tv to video mode and press the power button and your ready to go! i would recomend this item to children about 4 and up.

I just purcased this item for my 5 year old, first off, the instructions were misssing (this is typical of Toys R Us, it seems when they receive a return they don't check the merchandise and just place it back on the shelf))I plugged it in, and all it said was "Lets Dance" and that was it!!!!!

MY DAUGHTER GOT THIS FOR XMAS, 2 DAYS LATER WE TOOK IT BACK. BARBIES FACE WAS FUZZY.IT RAN ON BATTERIES WHICH WAS A BAD IDEA.
IT WAS ALSO OVERPRICED. THE QUALITY IS NOT THERE FOR THE MONEY.AS HARD AS THIS TOY WAS TO FIND, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE ALOT OF DISSAPPOINTED CHILDREN

Regardless of some of the negative reviews, I find that this is a very fun activity for my daughters. One is 4 & the other is 8 & they got it last year for Christmas & are still playing with it. My oldest daughter keeps trying to get more hearts & my youngest who is 4, has a little harder time, but I haven't had a problem with it & we've had it for a year now. In fact, I just had it set up for my daughter's birthday party & all the girls there loved it & their mom's were asking me where I got it. That's been my experience with it.

Sounded like a fun gift for my barbie enthusiast granddaughter, and she was excited about it at first but that lasted maybe 10 minutes at the most, and I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't ever want to play with it again. All it does is tell you to step on four different colored flowers and plays a dance beat. Not very exciting! And definitely not worth [money].
