"Fun but WAY too easy."
My 5.5 year old daughter solved this whole thing in around an hour or so. She had worked for weeks on the 12 Dancing Princesses game and we thought this would be similar. She liked it very much but I thought that it would be a project to last for several weeks but it definitely wasn't.

"pretty good, especially for the younger kids (2-3 years plus)"
I think this one is our favourite game for my younger daughter. She could play this when she was 2.5 years and loved it. It may be a bit simple for the older kids (6+) as they will do it fairly quickly as there are not many challenges or puzzles to solve.
This is more of an art game than a challenge game - lots of decorating with the 6 different paintbrushes (each creates a different scene) and there are many decorate it yourself items like making flowers for the garden, making the masks and the decorating the thrones. There is no wrong way to do them (you can't get decorating wrong like you can with the puzzles).
The only negative would be the maze at the end, you have to move with the arrow keys and this I always have to help her with as it is a bit difficult. The graphics are great, sound great and my favourite is most of the game is done with the mouse so it is easy for kids (not like the Pegasus game which is terrible!). Older kids may prefer the Princess and the Pauper game if they want a game that lasts longer.

"Probably Won't Become Your Favorite Barbie Game"
This Rapunzel game was not really my favorite game. It wasn't that much fun. You have to wait a long time to move to another place. And whenever you want to go someplace else you have to click arrows up and down. This game was not fun b/c when you click the arrows up and down it goes somewhere else you do not want it to be at. I would not recommend that you would buy this game. I would rather play princess fashion boutique.

"Mac Users Beware"
We were glad to find a Barbie PC game that can run on a Mac. However, note that the requirements to run the game on a Mac are: Power Mac, G3 266 MHz or faster processor, Mac OS 8.6, 9.1.2, 9.2, or 10.1.2. We have a Mac running OS 10.2.8 (just the next version). I assumed the game would still be compatible since most software can run on an OS that is slightly greater than the one required. This game will not work with OS 10.2.8 at all. I planned on calling Apple to see if there was some plug-in/fix I could download to make it work, but never got around to it.

Luckily, my Mom has a Windows PC, so my 5 year old daughter gets to play the game when she goes to Grandma's house. She LOVES the game and has not gotten tired of it at all (but she can play once or twice a month). The concept is fun and straight forward, and has more than 1 level. She got the game when she was 4 and had no problems learning how to use it, but she's always been pretty good on the computer.

"Not so good - ok for a rental!"
This game is pretty exciting and it is very nice and it is really creative and one of a kind. The only bad thing is that there is only one "castle" for the kids to "decorate" and once you are done with the whole castle that is basically it. You either have to create a new username for yourself to do it all over again or you get another game like I did. My sister finished the "castle" in about 2 hours and after that has never even looked at this game anymore. It is a nice game and it is fun but it is not really worth that much money.
