Awesome - Just what you expect from Disney Princesses!

This is an awesome game! I bought it for my 8 year old daughter, and she loves it. Plus, I love it and play it just as much (or more) than she does. The coolest thing about it is that you can choose between 6 princesses and each has her own game with 3 different chapters in it. So it's like getting 6 games wrapped up in one. Some of the games are very challenging and some are pretty easy.
This game exceeded all of my expectations and is definitely one of the very few GBA games that is worth the entire [price]!

I bought this for my 5 year old daughter

She got this for christmas of 04. It was challenging for her but fun enough to keep trying. She finally asked for help and so I sat down with her and it was fun. Not hours of fun for adult, but it was fun. she finally finished the game and still plays it alot one of her favorit games.

It is set up so the beginning screen shows all of the princesses. You can be any of them and have to complete 2 or three challenges each. Some are easier than others. After all that is done a last challenge becomes availible.

The only bad thing is you have to use passwords to get back to where you left off. Although it helps with letter recognition.
I bought a folder and we put stickers all over the cover and titled it Passwords. Then on the inside each page is labled with the name of game and she can write the passwords in it with out loosing that much needed info.

Hope all this helped.

Varying levels of difficulty

This game was my 5 year old daughter's first for her new GBA SP. She was able to play Cinderella right away, and worked her way up to Sleeping beauty and Snow White, completing all the chapters for each. She found the 2nd chapter for Belle easier than the first, simply because she didn't know that Belle could make more snowballs (we figured this out by accident). Ariel and Jasmine are still a bit too complicated for her to get through (I found them difficult the first couple of times), but it is a challenge she looks forward to. I believe this range in difficulty is a plus for the game as any child can begin it and work their way up.

Not for Young Girls unless...

This game is really fun; but is more for older girls. They must be able to read unless mom wants to have to help every minute. If your daughter can read and loves the Disney series; then it is highly recommended. One of the definate perks is that you can choose which princess you are as you play. Very cute game.

My daughter is 5 and just got a Game Boy. This game is great, but only if know how to read. There are a lot of pop up screens that tell you what to do, but she can't read them. There is a lot of variety to the games. I find myself playing with it more than her, because she gets frustrated over needing me to read the screens.

My daughter Liked it so much little sister now wants one

I bought this game for my five year old and she doesn't want to put it down. The game boy was originally my husbands but he graduated to the PSP. He wanted to give the gameboy to her so we decided to buy this game to see if she could handle it. She surprised us both by how fast she took to it. Her 4 year old sister also likes to play when she gets the chance to. I now have to set a timer to allow for equal playing time for each. Even my four year old loves it and it is not to hard for her.
My husband and I are now considering buying a second game boy to help wih the fighting. Of course having only one princess game will not do either.

Great first game for a little girl

I got this game for my 5-year-old for her birthday. She has a couple of games she plays on our computer (Blue's Clues & Winnie the Pooh), and loves Disney princesses. I wanted to get her a Disney princess computer game, but all of the ones I saw looked pretty dull. I was worried this game would be too hard for her, but the games are pretty basic and are straightforward enough for a 5-year-old to understand. It's challenging enough to keep her entertained, but not so hard as to be frustrating.

Disappointed in Disney on this one-Not kid friendly

I bought this game for my 7 year old daughter. She loves playing the games but the problem is with saving the game. This game does not auto save so to save your progress after you complete a chapter you are supposed to write down your password to enter back in to pick up where you left off. Doesn't sound so bad, right?? The passwords are random letter and numbers 2 different lines with about 10 characters per line and to top it off they are CASE SENSITIVE! This is just not geared for young kids. I ended up writing down the password for my daughter (checked it twice to make sure I wrote it down exactly) and then went in later to try to renenter it. Well for one it took me like 10 minutes just to enter it in. It didn't work. So i gave it to my husband. An hour later we both were ready to throw the GBA across the room. Now mind you I am in IT so I am not electronically dumb or anything similar. I can understand if they wanted to use passwords that made sense like "dopey" "sleepy" etc on the Snow White game etc... This is ridiculous. I expected more out of Disney.

A Disney Classic

I'm an adult and I love video games. I chose Disney Princess because I'm an avid Disney fan. This game only took me a few hours to complete but was highly entertaining along the way. The single-player game is somewhat halting, with not a lot of room to move around (fixed paths to move in, you go where they tell you to go) in the game play but for any girls, ages reading level and up, it is fabulous. The colors are vivid and there are many levels with items you have to find while keeping your life up. I recommend this game for any Disney fan.

Come on, Disney!!!

I'm not going to tell you how I played this game. I will tell you this though: this title seriously lacks any solidity. It's basically a monotonous series of little games that are more chores than fun. As Cinderella, you clean spots all over the house and nothing more, and I can't even remember what Belle, Snow White, and Aurora do. Ariel swims around and is ever-so-vaguely remeniscent of The Little Mermaid for NES -- which is still a great game, by the way. DP is not a total loss though, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one. It has it's moments: Princess Jasmin provides minor thrills on her magic carpet. But Disney could do so much better.
There are no girl-gamers and boy-gamers! There are only gamers and non-gamers! You don't need sludge like this to entertain a little girl.
