I bought this for my five year old daughter. This is a side scroller with 3D graphics. Because of this, the controls are not always intuitive - you really only have the choice of left or right even when it looks like the character is moving away and toward you on the screen. Also, even on the easiest setting, there are a number of near-split-second timed jumping and turning challenges that most five year olds are simply not going to be up to. She has fun playing it, but only if I'm right there beside her to help through the frequent difficult spots. If your child still loves Strawberry Shortcake at the age of 7 or so, this might not be a bad choice. I wouldn't get it for a younger child.

My four year old neice loves this game an awful lot. She does seek my help at times for she is only four! Even though she gets frustrated she still enjoys it. I recommend this game for kids older than three though!

My daughter is almost 4 and wanted so badly to play her older brothers' PlayStation 2. So, we got her this game. She adores Strawberry Shortcake. This game is a little over her head in some spots but she can do a lot with it. We like that it will grow with her. Her brothers (7 and 9) like to play it too. They say they were just helping her, but they actually like it. I would say this is a great buy for 4-8 year olds, depending on their love of Strawberry Shortcake.
**Also, Dora's Purple Planet is another winner for us.**

I ordered this game (and also Dora's Journey to the Purple Planet) for my 4 year old daughter and was very upset to discover that neither of these games could be played on my PS2 system - they both have the "blue backing". I called Sony and the guy said that some of the earlier PS2 systems could not read some the games that were formatted with the blue backing. He mentioned that these games were originally formatted to the original PS system. I was told that I would have to send my PS2 system to Sony and for $45 they would send me a refirbished unit within 7-10 days of receipt. All of our other games work fine so we decided to return the two video games and purchase something else. I wish the companies would indicate the "blue backing" or mention that some games might not work with all gaming system models (mine is the earlier model). Supposedly, with the later models, this isn't a problem. Anyway, I'm sure it is a cute game but I didn't get a chance to find out.

i just love this game! me and my brother have a black ps2 and we have 26 game for it. i bought this game when we were going to castlerock, because it was the day the toy store was closing at the toys section. so dad said we could get two games, i was so excied! usually grant, my brother, takes longer than me to pick a game. i picked out two games called bratz the movie and and this game. by brother got a game called drive to survive. he only got one game. but he didn't mind, i couldn't wait to try out my games. but it was grant's turn to play his game. after that i was so excited to try out my game it was aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwweeeeeeeesssssoooommmmmm!i looooooooooooove this game!

I purchased this for my then 6 year old daughter. She absolutely loved this game!

It has multiple levels of play, and once you collect enough seeds, you can unlock different characters to play.

A good game for the 5-8 year old.

My daughter is just in love with this game. She normally can not sit still for more than 30 minutes at a time and then has to move on to something else. Not the case with this game, she has been playing it for hours and just loves it.

I was looking for a game for my four year old. The game is fun, but there was definitely a learning curve. There were some parts where you have to make pretty specific timed jumps that were a little difficult for her. She definitely loves it and plays the first level over and over again. It's a great game to learn the controls.

I bought this game for my six year-old daughter. The graphics of this mostly side scrolling game, with some 3rd person flying portions, are much better than I expected. The game play is fairly simple. On the side scrolling portions you mostly move right or left and jump. Occasionally, you will have to do other things like use a watering can. The early stages of the game are simple enough for even a four-year to play. However, the higher stages can be challenging and frustrating for a six-year old. On the higher levels, my daughter regularly asks for help because they are too difficult for her. One negative aspect of the game is that at times it is difficult to see what you are doing because your view may be hindered.

Although the game is difficult for her, my daughter really loves the game. It is one of her favorite games to play.

I ordered 2 of these. After the first one didnt work I tried again and what do u know still doesnt work. SO I have no idea how this game plays or if my daughter would of enjoyed it. I order alot of ps2/ds games from amazon and only had trouble with this game.
