Prince
Stephan and his castle have been turned to stone and the gems from the
prince's crown have been scattered throughout the castle. Kids must
restore castle rooms and collect the lost gems to reunite Rapunzel
(Barbie) with her prince. Each room of the large castle has items to
restore and decorate. Sparkling hot spots lead to fun and easy-to-use
decoration tools. With simple mouse movements and clicks, children
choose items like colorful, animated wall candles, furniture and plants.
Also in each room are items that lead to their own creativity screen.
Kids design, tile by tile, the ceramic floor in the main hall for
example, or pick the colors and patterns for the royal chairs. As each
room is complete, kids use a magnifying glass to search for jewels. If
you're okay with lots of pink and purple and Barbie's sugar-sweet voice,
there are some very nice creativity and fantasy opportunities for kids
ages 5-8. The "girl saves boy" theme is a nice change, too.

Don your tiara and pick
up your wand, for only true, good princesses can enter the enchanted
world of Barbie as Rapunzel.
Rapunzel and Prince Stefan
have organised a masked ball, but they didn't invite the local wicked
witch, Gothel. When Gothel finds out, she is furious and promptly casts
an evil spell over the castle and its inhabitants. The prince is turned
to stone, the jewels from his crown are scattered around, and the
enchanted castle is immersed in darkness. When Rapunzel and her trusty
purple--and very cute--dragon friend enter the doomed castle, they are
challenged by the witch to find the jewels in order to rescue the prince
and restore the castle to its former glory.
One of the most
magical, creative packages on the market, this interactive adventure
really is superlative. The graphics are fantastic and pixels do not
stick between screens. The movement is fluid and controlled and the
sound is excellent.
This package also develops basic PC skills,
creativity, and imagination, and encourages colour recognition, shape
matching, hand-to-eye coordination, and cause-and-effect recognition
skills. The accompanying music completes the magical experience.
Barbie
as Rapunzel is accompanied by a clear, comprehensive instruction
booklet that should probably be read by a parent before commencing. That
said, instructions are given throughout the quest in a clear, slow
voice and objects flash onscreen to reinforce the message. The help
section can also be accessed at any time. The manufacturer recommends
this package for children ages 5 and older, and though help may be
required to begin with, a computer-literate 5- or 6-year-old will soon
get the hang of things and be able to play alone. All in all, a superb
package that kids, Barbie fans or not, will just love. --Susan

Product Description
Use your creativity and imagination to
help Barbie and her purple dragon friend, Penelope, break Gothel's evil
spell. Handsome Prince Stefan was turned into a stone statue by the
spell, and his enchanted castle lies in ruins, with the royal jewels
that will set him free hidden--only Barbie, as Rapunzel, can break the
wicked spell. And once Gothel's spell is broken, the prince freed, and
the castle restored, kids can celebrate with Stefan and Rapunzel at a
brilliant masquerade ball and save their creations in a magic memory
scrapbook that can also be printed.
In Barbie as Rapunzel: A
Creative Adventure, kids journey through eight interactive
activities, including Magical Mosaics, Design a Throne, Garden Maze,
Princess Paintings, Magical Masquerade, and more. The Magic Paint Box
guides kids creatively through each activity. It's filled with tools,
like a magic wand, twinkle sprinkles, and living stickers, so kids can
paint, add textures, and even animate objects, as they help Rapunzel
rescue the prince, find the crown jewels, and restore the royal castle.

Hours of fun!
I bought this for my 5 1/2
year old and she and her 4 year old sister play with it all the time. My
younger daughter is also having trouble with the maze but she still
loves everything else. This also has educational and problem solving
games. Overall, if your little girl loves Barbie or princesses she will
be fascinated by this game. I'm pretty impressed with the quality of it,
too. Definitely worth the money!!
The
BEST Software Game My Daughter Has... Hands Down.
First off, I have to say that
I am really surprised about the negative reviews and believe their
technical problems are due to their hardware/operating system
limitations.
That said, I must say this is the most
comprehensive, beautiful, creative, fun game my daughter has. She plays
if for hours!
Use your imagination!
My 3 year old daughter & I
both love this software. We actually fight over who is going paint the
pictures or choose the themes for each room. This game allows you to be
creative & use your imagination by "decorating" each room of the
castle and finding the missing gems to the prince's crown which gives
Rapunzel the power to find Prince Stephan who has been turned to stone
& bring him back to life. The music & animation is the best I
have seen. Most of the kids software that I've seen is boring to me as
an adult, but this is not at all. I sometimes like to play it without
her! There are so many variations on color schemes & patterns &
that you can never be bored. I highly recommend this for girls of all
ages.
