 Both fun and educational!Dec 26, 2004
By Pete Vere
My wife and I bought this for our oldest daughter for Christmas. She's four and loved the movie upon which this game is based. Although it isn't her favorite v-smile game, she quite enjoyed it nonetheless. As parents, my wife and I found this game a little more challenging for our daughter in terms of its education value.
Probably the most educational game is in the market where Ariana must find different items on a shopping list and then count the number of each particular item needed. There are a number of other great games that involve counting and expanding a child's vocabulary. These are probably the two educational strengths of this particular game, as a child the age towards which this game is intended (4 to 6 years) is probably already familiar with matching and colors -- the other two strengths of this game.

 SuperbDec 27, 2005

We really enjoy this 'smartridge'. It was given to my daughter as a gift. She loves princesses and this is total princess girly. The games are not too difficult for a young child to play.
I will say though that I think there are two things that make this game maybe a low five or a very high four as opposed to a high five rating. First- this game is probably the least educational one that I have seen to date. For example, there is one game where you dress Ariel and this is supposed to teach color recognition and matching. Really, it is a form of vicarious dress up. Second- Many of the games seem to focus a lot on colors and this is something most children at this age already know. I would have preferred something a bit more challenging.
Otherwise, this game is fun and educational. The games are easy and fun and very girly girly. My young daughter found it fairly easy to operate with little direction from me.
Enjoy.
Well worth the money.

A great gameJun 06, 2005

My daughter absolutely loves this game. It is more challenging than some of the other, but not too hard for a 4 year old. This game is not as educational as some of the others, but is great for math/counting skills. If your daughter loves Aerial ahe will love dressing her up in hats, and jewelery, and love helping her shop in the market for different fruits an vegetables. I think this one is great,

A little too hard for my 5 year oldDec 29, 2004

My daughter also loves The Little Mermaid movie so naturally, I got her this game to go with her vsmile. It was too advanced for my 5 year old but she plays it nonetheless. Her older sister sits with her and helps her out when she gets stuck.The game was worth the money because my daughter enjoys it and will learn from it as she gets older. Nice compliment to her schoolwork in PreK too.

 Okay but not a favoriteJan 02, 2005
By N. Edwards
We bought this cartridge because Ariel is my 4 1/2 yr old daughter's favorite princess. The game does not hold her interest, I think it may be a bit too difficult for her at this time. For now she prefers "Lion King" and the smartridge that came with the V-Smile. I hope they will make more games/learning cartridges for the system.
