My daughter is 4 and loves this game. It is easy enough for her to play and she loves the graphics of the princess. This is the best wii game we have found for her.
We have a 7 year old and a 4 year old. Both really enjoyed the game, but especially our 4 year old. We took our time exploring and using magic on stuff rather than just trying to finish and spent about 20-30 minutes on each of 12 chapters, usually only one chapter per session. Our youngest likes it so much that the game has inspired her to use her imagination to play with her princess dolls. She will play for an hour or more engrossed with her "Princess Wii" dolls (i.e. Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Jasmine, and Bell) imagining them in situations inspired by the game.
The other thing we really liked about the game is that the princess is controlled using both the controller and the nunchuck. The controller controls the magic wand and the nunchunk controls where the princess goes. This was great for allowing both of our girls to play together at the same time taking turns on each controller. When our 4 year old played alone, my wife or I used one control. Our 7 year old could handle both controllers at the same time.
Lastly, the 4 main princesses (Bell is a mini game, mainly just an excuse to include Bell) each have 3 chapters with two princesses listing the difficultly as "Easy", one "Medium", and one "Hard". However, even for our 4 year old none of the games was really very hard. If you're looking for a game with great game play this is probably not for you, if you're looking for a game with a story to engross little girls who love princesses, then this game is perfect. Even the ending was done pretty well.
We bought this game for $19.99 and for what we paid, we're pleased with the purchase. Our daughter is 5 and wanted to play more games than Wii Sports or Wii Play, but really doesn't have the coordination and control to play the more advanced games with us. This game was a good compromise. She loves the fact that she got to design her own character to 'help' the princesses, choosing her physical features, clothes and jewelry. Visiting the princesses and 'talking' with them also gave a thrill, (Ariel & Jasmine are the 'Easy' levels, Cinderella, 'Medium', and Snow White, 'Hard'). She also enjoyed completing each chapter and being able to see how her progress evolved. We liked the fact that she didn't get frustrated with the game, and we could see her Wiimote skills improve as she progressed through the game.
Pros-
-You meet and help Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella and Snow White, good amount of Princess interaction.
-Storyline is explained verbally, your child doesn't have to be a great reader to follow the story and directions.
-Using Wiimote as a magic wand
-Gem trails are used to show where to go next, and the helper pixie reminds you where you need to be heading to complete the next task.
-Mini-games in each chapter emphasize following directions, pattern recognition, and use of both nunchuck and Wiimote.
-After game is complete, you can go back and replay mini-games if desired.
Cons-
-Game is rather short. Playing and completing 1 chapter a day will finish the entire game in 2 weeks.
-Bogs are a little scary at first, and the head bad lady 'Zara' you meet after completing all 4 princesses could be scary for some children.
-Gems have no monetary value, it would have been nice to actually be able to spend them to accessorize your child's character.
-Rather slow loading times between scenes, could be frustrating for child.
-Once game has been completed, you unlock 1 mini-game with Belle, more games or another task to complete would have been better.
Our daughter is already asking to design another character and replay the game, so we consider the $19.99 well spent. Playing the game definitely helped with her hand-eye coordination and Wiimote control and she didn't notice many of the things we considered cons. I'd definitely recommend it as a good beginning game for a Disney Princess fan.
