2 out of 5 stars Didn't meet expectations.   September 13, 2008
Not worth the $. It's cute, my daughter love princesses, but the reading - it's just too much - no matter how old you are. Even tried to shorten it for my daughter, but I got tired of reading it myself. So it's turned to just a treasure hunt.

The other aspect I do not like at all is that you have to "sing" to open the chests - so can't play it quietly. It's not as easy to get the right notes either. There is no way to bypass that, or any other option to open the chests. So stuck trying to 'sing' their notes, very annoying.

The plus side, My daughter really enjoys cleaning and polishing the treasures that are dug up. Also, when you go into her little cave, and put the treasures in the big 'magic' ball it shows fast mini clips of the movie. Each item gives you a different piece of the movie, and it's a few minutes of enjoyment there.
Too bad they are very short, and more reading is envolved in that.
It's not a game that will last very long, and am disappointed with it.



1 out of 5 stars Not impressed- worst game out of the 20 ds games we own   August 27, 2008
I would not recommend this game. My daughter has trouble reading the small print even though she is 7.5 yrs old and my 3 yr old can't read it at all. The screen is constantly popping up with more stuff to read. Sometimes you have to click four or five times just to get past all of the reading. All of my three girls hate this game. There are just much better options out there for children's games--some even in the price range of this game.

I gave this game to my daughter. She has 6 years of age. She thinks that this game is very boring


4 out of 5 stars Good franchise, but game is lacking when compared to rivals   April 19, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

My 3 year old daughter asked me to buy her this game for Christmas. She's a huge fan of the DS and can play Super Princess Peach, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Kirby like a pro. So, I bought the game for her. Now, the Little Mermaid is a good franchise in general, and has a very wholesome, family appeal, so I would never think twice about buying a Disney product like that. However, compared to games made by Japanese developers, the play control was not intuitive enough for my 3 year old daughter to enjoy it. She quickly lost interest. And yes, she still plays Princess Peach, Sonic, and Kirby all the time.


3 out of 5 stars Too much reading!!!   January 9, 2007
 4 out of 6 found this review helpful

There is just too much reading for a 5 year old to play this game. And the tasks are quite difficult to understand and complete. My daughter who loves anything Disney put this game down and hasn't picked it up since Christmas day. Disappointed. The reading level is appropriate for a 2nd or 3rd grader.
