This is the WORST GAME EVER. (...)i couldn,t even make it through the first level of this "ages 6 and up" game. There was this thing called virtual training at the beggining,and it was really fun,but once you started the real thing,it was impossible. In the real thing,there were all kinds of new obstacles,like animals.Plus,you had to remember the different key combinations for running and jumping (ect.),and you had to jump at exactly the right time.there are only two good things i can say about this,virtual training,and it works on windows XP.Don't make the mistake i did in buying this game.

really, really hard

This game is rated for ages 6 and up, but even at the easiest level, it was so difficult, my 9-year-old was in tears.

Ridiculously hard in places

My daughter could NEVER finish this without help. She loved much of it, but even on easy, I can barely get her through the tough spots and I'm a lifelong gamer, who often wins games online. Not too much brain in the puzzles, just timing and jumping. Just about impossible. I'd like to hear from someone who actually finished the whole thing. Further, the software is not written all that well. I tried to pass a couple tough spots by mashing three buttons at the same time, (left-straight and jump, for example to jump diagonally) the game seems to get confused. Also, other times you seem to have made a jump and you fall anyway, and sometimes jump doesn't jump when you really need it to. The best part? When you DO die, which is often, you go all the way back to the insipid start. The annoying part is, this could have been pretty good.

this was awful

ok, 4 words: don't get this game. The controls are confusing, everytime you die, you have to start ALL OVER. I didn't like it.

To be continued...

That's how the game ends - "To be Continued..." my daughter was quite disappointed. The game is ok but it is mostly running, jumping and the difficulty comes from timing and precision jumping. It certainly frustrated her and bored me at times. Overall she definitely liked it but she prefers Secret Agent Barbie much more. Graphics are good and engaging. My daughter's favorite part is the movie-type scenes at the beginning. She was really excited at the end when it went in to movie mode "I love it when she does things by herself" but then - to be continued

My daughter has many Barbie games, but this is the only one she cannot play without me. She was 5 years old when we got it and it is very fun, but very challenging to get the timing right for many parts. It is more keyboard action than thinking puzzles like other Barbie games. She doesn't play it much, because she can't do it on her own.

An entertaining game

My daughter enjoys the game at age 6 and her 9 year old friend also likes to play it when she visits. After install I worked with it for a while. The graphics will not overwhelm you and the dialogue will gag you, but the girls seem to enjoy it. The barbie tag is all over it so they are more tolerant of the games flaws than they would otherwise be.

Fun and Challenging

My 6-yr-old daughter loves this game but definitely needs help with a lot of it, even on the easiest level. She was at first disappointed that she couldn't use the mouse but once she got the hang of the necessary keys she was off and running. Rolling, jumping, swinging, climbing, different lands and terrain, things to push and pull, things to avoid or collect... all of it is great fun! A much faster pace than the Secret Agent game, and thankfully none of those silly costume changes between "action" and "stealth" modes. This is a game we'll be able to play for years to come.

fun

i got this game 1 month ago and its fun but not that much! you can go in rivers and in ancient romes and even in snow storms! my favorite game is when you have to avoid the bolders coming at you and you have to hide in little rooms! ITS HARD. this is a worth it game and has many actions to it as in jumping and pulling pushing walking and running or even swinging!its get boring after but you get used it because it hooks you intrest untill you finish it! please dont buy it if you have a child over 11 because they will lose intrest in 3 days and its too hard for kids under 4 because of all the action so think before you buy

It's Fun!!
