The game: Barbie becomes Rosella, a shipwrecked princess who makes friends of the island’s animals. There are four games, each with a sub-section of four games and you have to complete each game several times before the next level will unlock. As mini games are completed, new items such as dresses and accessories are unlocked for the user to dress Barbie up in in The Dressing Room and users are also treated to video segments from a Barbie movie though otherwise I didn’t notice any obvious product placement. The games are certainly suited for a 3+ child and mostly uses the control pad though I think younger player will struggle with the Ringing Bells game which requires players to repeat an audio sequence with the stylus. Graphics are very sweet and I think this is a good introduction to the DS for younger players.
I played this game purely for the purposes of this review I tell you and the fact that I enjoyed it despite being a couple of decades over the age suggestion is something we’ll keep between ourselves, ‘k?.
