Summary: Great fun for little horse-lovers!
Review: I gave this game to my Barbie-loving, horse-obsessed daughters *last* Christmas and it is still their favorite game. They love "riding around the ranch" looking for Lucky, the missing horse. They had a little bit of trouble moving Barbie and her horse around at first (especially with the jumps) but they caught on quickly once I showed them how to do it. They *really* enjoy picking out Barbie's riding outfit, selecting which horse to ride (including the mane, tail and saddle colors) and feeding and grooming the horses.

This is a fun game with lots of variety in the possible activities. Barbie can ride in a ring or around the ranch on trails, you can look for clues to Lucky's disappearance (stolen by a horse thief!) or solve puzzles. My daughters (ages 6 and 4 years old) adore this game and wish that there was a sequel to it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: mixed review
Review: I got this game as a birthday present and I am 7 years old. I like grooming and feeding the horse. It is fun when you're trying to find Lucky, but when you have found Lucky I promise you that you will think that it is pretty annoying. This is because you keep the song in your head. I recommend that you don't buy this game because there aren't enough challenges. Once you figure out how to find Lucky there is still only one thing that will be hard for you-- using the slingshot.

Summary: Great Game
Review: I have a five year old that loves this game. She can play with it for hours. She really enjoys it. Many diffent games, that she can do, even though she can't read yet. A must buy for all 4-6 year old girls!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Barbie Beauty Boutique ~ Wonderful game!!
Review: I have a four year old that wanted this computer game really bad. I was worried that it might be a little difficult for her because a lot of the other Barbie games are still a too old for her to understand. This game was perfect. It is easy to use but fun for everyone. She loves changing Barbie's make-up and clothes. She has played on it for hours now. I think it was worth the money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Barbie Boutique is a great computer game
Review: I highly recommend this computer game for girls who are interested in Barbie's and the dress up thing. My daughter (age 6) absolutely loves it - it doesn't get old to her. It is very easy for her to use and there are so many different variations she can do - it never gets boring. Highly recommended.

Summary: "Secret Agent Barbie is so really cool and also colourful!"
Review: I loved Secret Agent Barbie. Usually I think of Barbie doll as something for younger girls because some older girls seem to think of Barbie as lame or dumb or something, but not always because I do like her. Anyway, this game was so cool! Barbie is a secret agent, and the game is so fun from the start! It starts out on a plane, where Barbie goes in training to learn all these different moves like rolling and jumping. Barbie, being Barbie, uses cool gizmos and gadgets that look a lot like makeup. For example, to sneak past guards without them catching her or not letting her by, she takes out some powder that's like foundation or blush and blows it in the person's face to where he can't see for a moment but cough. She records private conversations using a lipstick I think it is, and she wears these pink sunglasses type things that enable her to see secret codes and combinations. She travels to exotic places like Paris, France and somewhere in Japan, also New York; she always goes by plane and lands by parachute! She chooses different clothes and outfits to wear and there are different modes to play-action is one. She has a robotic puppy, too. She also has a friend who talks to her a lot by a certain spy gagdet thing, who just happens to be in a wheelchair! It's funny, all the guard dudes look and sound the same. Sometimes Barbie can get a little annoying by saying the same things over and over, and the stuff can be frustrating by being challenging. Barbie's mission includes finding some thief who's making a invisible suit which Barbie gets to put on! The theif steals special dye from some plant and clothes I think from a designer friend of Barbie's, (who I think is Theresea). Anyhow, this game is soooo really cool and a must-buy for girls this product would interest! I haven't played it in a while though.

Summary: The Reviews Here do not go to MY SCENE
Review: I purchased My Scene because of the reviews listed under it. I purchased for a 5 year old. The reviews listed right now with this product are for other Barbie computer games. This game, My Scene, is probably lots of fun for any girl who can read pretty well and follow instructions. Very difficult for a 5 year old. My 11-year old niece enjoys it, but be careful reading the reviews (unless Amazon fixes the problem, as I did contact them.).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great for most, but not the one I care for
Review: I was surprised by the great reviews on this game, so it must just be me and the five year old I bought it for. I was so excited to buy this game for her. She LOVES animals, especially dogs, and I thought this would be great for her. Unfortunatly she hasn't played it for more than an hour. She finds the hamster maze extremely frustrating, as do I. She wanted to give the golden retriever a bath when she first started but was unable to. She could only bathe the pets she rescued, or so I am told. She was also annoyed that only Stacey could answer the phone for the rescue. She asked how come Barbie couldn't answer it. I give it a three star, because the graphics are really nice and it seemed to have a good story line. It just didn't impress the five year old much. Guess she'll stick to the Putt-Putt games.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Daughter can't be pulled away!
Review: My 5.5 year old daughter got this for Christmas and once she played it she can't stop. She loves that she is solving a mystery. She keeps playing again and again. She solved it fairly quickly but she just loves making the horse run though all the paths. She is now learning to manually jump the horse. This item is well worth the money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Scene is super fun!
Review: My 6 year old LOOOOVVEES playing this game. It's age appropriate for kids of all ages! I love playing it with her, so does her brother! I kind of wish the game was a little longer or if you played it more than once you had different options, like more variety, but it serves it's purpose. It was worth the buy and amazon had it at a great price!
