5.0 out of 5 stars Good game, March 12, 2002

By A Customer

This was a very good computer game that I enjoyed playing with my daughter. The levels ranged from easy to hard and we both enjoyed seeing just how far we could get. The ending was a surprise and we just can't wait to see if there is a sequel to this Barbie Adventure. This game teaches hand to eye coordination and timing is very important.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a game for kids?, August 10, 2002

I was really surprised when I read the other reviews of girls who loved this game (especially the age ranges).

I attempted to play this game with my (7 year old) daughter, however, we found it very frusterating in several parts, and could not figure out how to do some of the moves without dying over and over again. We even had it on easy mode!

I would NOT recommend this game, and my daughter feels the same way...it was too frusterating! HOpefully not all the barbie games are like this; I am just glad that we rented the game before we decided to buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining with nice graphics, July 23, 2006

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I played this game with my 6-yo daughter and 3-yo son. They love it and can't get enough of it. The one thing I would recommend is doing the virtual reality tutorial first and listening to the demos to help you make the avatar move. Otherwise it can be frustrating to both you and your child, as another reviewer mentioned. My kids were even finding it amusing to watch Barbie fall down the hole or get swallowed by quicksand over and over again, at first, but once they knew how to make her climb, tumble, push and pull heavy objects, swing from vines, and do monkey bars, they had more fun. I have been a cautious fan of Barbie over the years, not loving her unrealistic body type. But I do like how Barbie does these very physical tasks and has fun and adventure doing them in this game.
