I hope I can stop you from making the same mistake!!!!!!!! PLEASE Read on........

Let me start by saying that I've been surprised to find myself a big fan of the recent Barbie movies and software. My daughter and I have enjoyed playing Rapunzel, Swan Lake, Princess and the pauper all multiple times. I didn't even hesitate to spend the $29 on this game. How could they have done so well on the others and made this one such a disaster?

The production quality is vastly different than the others. From the very beginning you notice a drastic difference. It's as if this was their very first attempt at making a software game. Maybe they haven't gone back as far as PONG or PacMan... but it's pathetically close!

You continually have to steer Barbie using the arrow keys and it's not at all a smooth ride. Sometimes it's as if you are behind her steering her and others you are suddenly over her head looking down at her. It's so awkward, will make you dizzy,irritated, and then eventually feel motion sick! Seriously, I have such a headache!!! I kept hoping it would get better, but I evetually quit the game and have no intentions of ever finishing or playing it again. I feel badly now that I got my daughter so excited about it.

I was really looking forward to enjoying this new game and now regret having spent money on it. At the time I ordred it there were no reviews. Hopefully I can save you from making the same mistake.

I got this game when my mom and I were spending time together. I wish I had not bought it. It's a waste of money. I finished it in a couple of hours and I'll never play with it again. It's maybe more for 4 year olds not 8 years old like me.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter. We sat down together to play it and I noticed right away the HORRENDOUS quality of the graphics. Oh my gosh, the Barbies didn't even look like Barbies and there were quite a few fuzzy spots and the landscape was blocky. When she talked, her mouth wrinkles up weird and the rest of her face is like stone.

The second bad thing about the game is when two hours later, my daughter said, "Mom, I wish I hadn't got this game. I've already beat it."

this is a cute game but needs some changes like a better challenging game or some neat and pretty graphics oh yah and its a plot change because the story in the game dosent follow the story in the movie! its a weired, easy and basically ugly game! im sorry for the people who like it just that thats my oponion

facts:
terrible graphics
dosnt follow the story plot line

opinion:
easy game(maybe good for under 6)
not as fun as the movie!

hope it helps and remember my opinion dosnt count! but the facts do!

i have seen the bad reveiws and i have no idea what there talking about! its a nice game that has some hard games and some easy games. the graohics are a little bad but once you start the game you wont even care. it extremley cute and nice and well worth the money.

I bought this game as soon as I saw it as my daughter and I both love and play all of the other Barbie games by Vivendi Universal.

I couldn't even get this game to work properly on my PC AND my system meets all of the requirements. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!

As far as Vivendi Universal goes.... I will NOT be so eager to purchase anymore of their products. The robbed me of $30!!!

I bought this game for my daughter at Christmas and I wish I could take it back. She wants me to watch her play it but I can't, I get headaches watching it. The quality is horrible and the story line was changed but despite all that, she loves the game. It's very easy to play and she beat it within an hour. Next time I will definitely check the reviews out before buying and I hope you all do too!

This game was OK,but the graphics? ugh. I mean it looks like everything-and everyone-was made of blocks! The beginning won't work that well on my Windows XP,but other than that,it's pretty fun to play.(I like to play the gem through the tunnel maze and the maze on the giant's table) I guess I have to get a new video card for the graphics problem. Anyways, one time I played the game and I got to the guy-that-has-the-ice-jewel's house the screen suddenly went blank.A few minutes later an error message popped up and said 'your computer has a serious error'.have you ever seen that? anyways,very fun to play,just make sure you have the right video card,(a 32-bit will do,maybe). Please vote on my review! PS.Its very fun to play,but i never saw the movie before. 'BARBIE LOVER'

We have several of the Barbie pc games and have been pleased with the quality of all of them, except this one. When we first installed this one, my daughter (at the time was 5) had a lot of fun navigating through the mazes. She was a bit frustrated at first because this is a lot more like a video game. Multiple keys are needed to move Barbie around, like the arrows and space bar. Once she got used to it she enjoyed it and wanted to play it often.

The problem is this game will not save to my computer even though my pc fits all the requirements. I had to uninstall and re-install every time my daughter wanted to play. This got old fast so now it has been sitting on a shelf because no one wants to be bothered with it.

My husband (a computer whiz who incidently built my computer to play games like everquest)contacted technical support and they were of no help, insisting that the computer must not meet the requirements. It's too bad. This game had a lot of Kindergarden/1st grade level math games in it that made learning fun.

My nickname is StoryMaker. I got Barbie Pegasus computer game for Christmas from my grandparents a while ago, and it is a nice game. I got the game before the movie and when this review was written I still don't have the movie. This game has fun activities but some are too easy. A flaw is that I got really frustrated at the start because you have to practice everything before you can go to the Forbidden Forest and I thought that the winged horse ice skated so I didn't understand why it was locked up! No wonder when I clicked the help bell it just told me how to get off the winged horse. Another point without enough guidance is the Shiver stepping stone game. You had to select the stone that matched the stone that Shiver the polar bear stepped on. I had to go to the online manual to figure out that, after you stepped on the matching stone, you must press the space bar. The stepping stone game is usually too easy, anyway! I liked the jigsaw puzzles and the picture matching activity. A mistake is that at Wenlock's door puzzle, Annika says something like, "This must be a puzzle only Wenlock can solve!" Well, you solve it, so the statement is false. I like the map maze game and it is fun to knock all the items off the shelf. In the gem of ice maze game, a tip is move the gem slowly and make many short stopping points to avoid bumping the gem into the crystals or anything else. Another mistake is, why is being turned into a winged horse bad? It can't be lack of communication because Brietta can talk and Wenlock didn't have to choose winged horse - dogs and cats and lots of things can't talk. Brietta likes straw when she's a winged horse, so it can't be that. Also, the "spread Brietta with magic from the wand of light" game is long and boring. Also, the castle decorating game is annoying sometimes - painting rainbows is long and you can only paint it in the natural order and sometimes you can't put crystals in a place that you did on the other side. I know you can do it, but sometimes it dosen't work. There's probably more to say, but this review is too long already. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
