Disney Princess (Game Boy Advance, 2003)

This game would probably appeal most to a (girl) child age 5 and up (or, a child that is able to read). My 4 year old has a difficult time completing the game in it's entirity. For an adult, or older child, the game may seem dull (too easy); but for younger gamers (5-6 +), the games are pretty basic and straightforward. They are challenging enough to keep them interested, but not so difficult they would become frustrated. There are three difficulty levels, although the "easiest" level may prove challenging.

The start up has a list of the different princesses (Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Jasmine, Cinderella, & Ariel) that you pick from to play with. Each has her own unique "world" (Ariel underwater, Belle in the forest then Beast's castle, etc.)with tasks she must complete.(Belle must find a rose, Snow White has to unfreeze dwarfs, Cinderella is looking for a diamond ring, Ariel must find Sebastion, Aurora needs to free the fairies, and Jasmine must free the Genie).

With each, you have 3 different levels to complete and at the end of the last one, the princess you chose will have to beat their "villan" to complete the game.

The downside to this game is, every level (per princess) has a password that you must write down if you want to return to your level at a later time.

For my child, this game wasn't one she would play, get frustrated with because she couldn't complete it, then toss it aside. She still plays this game quite a bit. A "plus" to this game is infact the different characters you can play with. If they have dificulty with one, they still have 5 more to choose from to play with. And, some are easier than others.
