2.0 out of 5 stars What a let down, January 1, 2008

This review is from: Barbie: Island Princess (Video Game)

I purchased this for Christmas, since my 5 year old daughter loves Barbie Island Princess. The video preview made it look attractive, and age appropriate, but the game is such a let down. The game play is VERY slow, you are always waiting for the next screen or game to "load", and the games are too basic. The constant pauses for "loading" makes the experience very boring, and my kids got tired of this very quickly. Worst game I've experienced on the Wii, by far. I definitely don't recommend buying this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing and frustrating on the Wii, December 30, 2007

This review is from: Barbie: Island Princess (Video Game)

My mother in law bought this for our 5 year niece old. She was very excited as she loves Barbie and she loves playing Wii Sports, Carnival and Making Miis. However this game is terrible on the Wii and she was soon frustrated and angry.

The Wiimote is only used in about 25% of the games and cannot be used to navigate the game menus. Our niece was very frustrated and confused because she could not understand what controller to use when. It is clear that this game was designed for another platform and just haphazardly ported to the Wii. It is a real shame because the graphics are very attractive and the games appropriate for young girls. I strongly recommend against buying this game for the Wii, maybe it is better on another platform.

I don't know about these other reviews; maybe parents interjecting on their kid's behalf. My 5 year old daughter loves this game and has no troubles. She can play it by herself just fine. This and Mario Party8 are her favorite choices amongst the games we own!
