OK,but 'blocky' graphics.
This game was OK,but the graphics? ugh. I mean it looks like everything-and everyone-was made of blocks! The beginning won't work that well on my Windows XP,but other than that,it's pretty fun to play.(I like to play the gem through the tunnel maze and the maze on the giant's table) I guess I have to get a new video card for the graphics problem. Anyways, one time I played the game and I got to the guy-that-has-the-ice-jewel's house the screen suddenly went blank.A few minutes later an error message popped up and said 'your computer has a serious error'.have you ever seen that? anyways,very fun to play,just make sure you have the right video card,(a 32-bit will do,maybe). Please vote on my review! PS.Its very fun to play,but i never saw the movie before. 'BARBIE LOVER'
Had technical problems
We have several of the Barbie pc games and have been pleased with the quality of all of them, except this one. When we first installed this one, my daughter (at the time was 5) had a lot of fun navigating through the mazes. She was a bit frustrated at first because this is a lot more like a video game. Multiple keys are needed to move Barbie around, like the arrows and space bar. Once she got used to it she enjoyed it and wanted to play it often.^M
We loved it
My 2 5-year-olds and I love this game. A few of the scenes had difficult controls, like the log jumping, but the games were just hard enough to be challenging for them, but not so hard that they couldn't eventually get them, after I'd helped them a couple of times. They improved their mouse control with the map-through-the-shelf puzzle and the crystal-through-the-caves puzzle. The matching games were also at a good level for them. And the mazes were again challenging but not frustrating. They played this for many hours - there are many games in each area, rather than just the 5 of some of the other Barbie games. The graphics seemed fine most of the time. My only irritation was the inability to make a backup copy of the disc - kids are rough on CDs, never mind I had twins and they had to take turns.
