Product Description: Barbie Fairytales: Barbie As Rapunzel lets young girls live the experience of being a fairytale character!
Amazon.com Review: Don your tiara and pick up your wand, for only true, good princesses can enter the enchanted world of Barbie as Rapunzel.
Rapunzel and Prince Stefan have organised a masked ball, but they didn't invite the local wicked witch, Gothel. When Gothel finds out, she is furious and promptly casts an evil spell over the castle and its inhabitants. The prince is turned to stone, the jewels from his crown are scattered around, and the enchanted castle is immersed in darkness. When Rapunzel and her trusty purple--and very cute--dragon friend enter the doomed castle, they are challenged by the witch to find the jewels in order to rescue the prince and restore the castle to its former glory.
One of the most magical, creative packages on the market, this interactive adventure really is superlative. The graphics are fantastic and pixels do not stick between screens. The movement is fluid and controlled and the sound is excellent.
This package also develops basic PC skills, creativity, and imagination, and encourages colour recognition, shape matching, hand-to-eye coordination, and cause-and-effect recognition skills. The accompanying music completes the magical experience.
Barbie as Rapunzel is accompanied by a clear, comprehensive instruction booklet that should probably be read by a parent before commencing. That said, instructions are given throughout the quest in a clear, slow voice and objects flash onscreen to reinforce the message. The help section can also be accessed at any time. The manufacturer recommends this package for children ages 5 and older, and though help may be required to begin with, a computer-literate 5- or 6-year-old will soon get the hang of things and be able to play alone. All in all, a superb package that kids, Barbie fans or not, will just love. --Susan Naylor, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon.com Product Description: Use your creativity and imagination to help Barbie and her purple dragon friend, Penelope, break Gothel's evil spell. Handsome Prince Stefan was turned into a stone statue by the spell, and his enchanted castle lies in ruins, with the royal jewels that will set him free hidden--only Barbie, as Rapunzel, can break the wicked spell. And once Gothel's spell is broken, the prince freed, and the castle restored, kids can celebrate with Stefan and Rapunzel at a brilliant masquerade ball and save their creations in a magic memory scrapbook that can also be printed.
In Barbie as Rapunzel: A Creative Adventure, kids journey through eight interactive activities, including Magical Mosaics, Design a Throne, Garden Maze, Princess Paintings, Magical Masquerade, and more. The Magic Paint Box guides kids creatively through each activity. It's filled with tools, like a magic wand, twinkle sprinkles, and living stickers, so kids can paint, add textures, and even animate objects, as they help Rapunzel rescue the prince, find the crown jewels, and restore the royal castle.
Best Game for Young Girls My daughter absolutely loves this game! It's easy to use and requires no adult supervision. Best of all, it allows girls to use their creativity to design their own castle one room at a time. What more could a girl want! My daughter wants to play it every day and I have to find excuses to keep her away! Too bad not all the Barbie games are this easy and fun. I've been very disappointed in others I purchased. I discovered that they're not all designed/published by the same company. I paid 5.99 for this game on clearance and it's been worth 10 times this amount!
Girls love it! My 5 and 3 year old girls love this game and play it all the time they can complete the game without help. They get to use their imaginations and create items.
Great game for little girls! My 6 and 7 year old daughters love this game! They really enjoy decorating the rooms and doing so has really improved their mouse skills. Essentially, a lot of the game is kind of like "coloring" on the computer and they love to color. Hunting for the gems in each room is fun for them. There is also a maze at the end as well as a bunch of sappy songs that they seem to really enjoy. This is a great choice for girls 4-9 years old.
My 5 year old loves this I bought this for my daughter when she was just turning 4. It is great because you don't need to know how to read in order to play. My daughter loves decorating the castle, and has played it over and over again. For some reason it gets frozen when she tries to print pictures that she makes, but other than that it is well worth the money for any little girl into princesses.
Wonderful game for 3 and 4 year old girls My daughters both love this game. Aged 3 and 4, they're already fairly adept computer users, but this game is really particularly well designed for their ages. They love the story line (somewhat different from the movie) and the challenge of having to find all the gems to save the prince. The activities in the game are ones that they play over and over - especially the painting, mosaic puzzle, and design-your-own flowers. They really get to use their creativity, and the tools they can use in the game are really beautiful. We have a lot of kids' computer games, and this one is their hands-down favorite.
