Exceeds Expectations
My daughter is 5 years old
and I am an avid computer gamer father. I have purchased far more than
50 games for her, and many of them were not worth the money I paid. So I
have low expectations for children's games.
I would set the age
for this game at 4+. If you have a 4-6 year old that hasn't played video
games before, they will need about 15 minutes of "training" before you
can let them play alone without frustration. If your child has played PC
games before, they should only need about 5 minutes of help to get
started.
This game is head and shoulders above the typical child
video game. If your daughter is a Disney princess fan, she is going to
LOVE this game. When my daughter first started playing this game, I
couldn't drag her away (even with the promise of unhealthy snacks!) for
almost 3 hours. The player will become what I call a "deputy princess"
(she will be able to design the dress, crown, earrings, etc of her in
game princess avatar). Each of the Disney princesses live in their own
world. And they have been overrun with mischievous creatures (which are
really just butterflies being forced to be bad). You will have several
special powers with your magic wand that can free the butterflies. The
special effects of these powers are beautiful and made my daughter gasp
and smile proudly each time she used them. Be prepared for a near
constant verbal barrage of "Daddy watch this!" during game play. The
player will interact and assist each of the most popular Disney
princesses (Ariel, Jasmine, Snow White, Bell, and Cinderella). My
daughter even swam with Ariel, which I think was her favorite part. Each
princess has 3 "chapters" which each have a few "missions" to complete.
I estimate that each princess will take about 45 minutes of continuous
play to complete.
Enchanted Journey has better graphics than any
other child video game I have seen. Because of the high graphics, you
are likely going to need a decent video card to play. My daughter's PC
has an ATI 2600XT (~$28 at time of this review) and it is very smooth,
so I dont expect that this game needs an expensive video card. The art
is top notch, classic disney style and looks great! The voices are good
too (except Sebastian, why is it so hard to find a good sebastian
voice?).
This game does not have a lot of educational value
because its designed for fun. But it does teach some great hand eye
coordination and goal skills ("free 3 butterflies and return to me"
goals).
For $20 this game is well worth it.
Technical
note: This game does not work with the ATI catalyst 8.8 drivers (the
latest as of this review), but it works fine with 8.7 and I bet 8.9+
(when they come out). If you don't know what catalyst drivers are, you
probably don't have version 8.8, so don't worry about it. :)
Challenging for first "real" computer game
My 5 year old daugther has
played PBS and Nick jr games a lot. When she was 4 we got her this game.
I agree with the other reviewers that it is a great special effects
game and was suitably wowed by the set up. I feel the need to add that
the biggest downside is that there is not a lot of guidance as to what
to do. "Go to the Grove" is all that she hears from Snow White and she
has to run around to different parts of the game to try and figure out
where the grove is and then how to open the gate. There were some
missions that even my husband (a good video game person) had trouble
figuring out and there is not any help button to explain or hint what to
do. A lot of it is figuring out that different buttons do different
things and learning about your surroundings (how to open the gate, make
the vines disappear, where things aer located). My daughter likes the
game and plays it alot but I often have to help her though things that
she tries for a good 15 minutes and can't figure out. So heads up if
this is your first real video game that there is not a lot of
instruction (like a Dora game has) and requires an older preschooler to
figure out.
Worth every penny! When does
the sequel come out?!!
My daughter is 4 years old
and mom usually works next to her while she plays her games. I love the
"I Spy" series and "Bookworm Adventures" but I had no idea how much fun
we could have together, until we introduced the "Enchanted Journey"
game. This game is head and shoulders above the typical child video
game. If your daughter is a Disney princess fan, she is going to LOVE
this game. (she will be able to design the dress, crown, earrings, etc
of her in game princess avatar).
The imagery is beautiful and her
avatar frees the 'bad' guys (trapped rainbow butterflies) instead of the
typical... 'decimate your opponent' games. The messages to my little
one are so good that I feel confident walking away for a few minutes.
Enchanted
Journey has better graphics than any other child video game I have
seen.
We love it and hope that Disney makes more SOON.
The only
downside... my daughter wants to be a "bog" for Halloween - I can't sew!
I better start learning, huh? : )
