My daughter is 9 and she has enjoyed all the "Detective Barbie" games in the past. We own the first 2 games for the PC and purchased this one for our Playstation. Both my daughter and my son (6 - almost 7) love solving the mysteries. I think Mattel should just "up" the age on this game. It is way too hard for a 5 year old. I agree with the other reviews on this point. In my opnion, most barbie games are good for 7 & up. (Secret Agent, Super Sports etc.)

This game is too complicated for my 7 year old. Even with my help she was frustrated. By the time she is old enough to play this game alone she will think she is too old to do anything with Barbie in the title. Save your money.

I bought this game with high expections for my 5 year old Barbie- loving daughter who has just begun to take an interest in the Playstation the past few months. You are Barbie in this game trying to solve a who-dunnit mystery by talking to passengers and crew on a cruise ship and at various ports. Manuevering is not so easy when more advanced reading skils are required--older kids would probably fare much better. With much of my help, we made it far enough to discover the missing item, however my daughter lost interest since she couldn't do much of the game by herself.

I sat down with my two daughters ages 5 and 3 and played this game WITH them. We had a great time with it. They loved the adventure and I helped them to understand how to look for Ken and follow the clues. Now that they have been through the game they can play it alone. Especially my 5 year old. All of the clues change for the next game. I give it a thumbs up!

Do I have to give it a star at all? This is by far the worst game my daughter owns. It's so difficult to play that my daughter needs my help constantly. And I find it extremely slow, and frustrating. Trust me, this game will aggravate both you AND your child. Save your money, folks.

i bought this game a few years ago ... used to play it all the time but barely now since i'm out of the Barbie mode ... it is fun and enjoyable but i like games that you're more involved with instead of just sitting back and watching stuff happen that you can't make decisions on and be apart of ... it is fun and i would recommend it for kids who like mysteries

You just can't go wrong with Barbie! She is such a classic that anything Mattel does with her (as long as her body stays out of proportion) is just fabulous. I am going to buy a copy for each of my kids. They each get their own!!

This game is just awsome.The killings are very realistic and the weapons are just just killtacular everyone should get this barbie game.
