Summary: Worst... Kid's Software... Ever.
Review: Believe me, kid's software in general is not that great (though there are some notable exceptions.) So it is a pretty big deal for me to say that this is the worst kid's software I have ever seen. It literally kept my kid busy for about half an hour, and when I looked at it I saw why; no challenge, no interest, very little content. The premise of the game is that you go to all these different rooms from the Cinderella mythos (the basement, Cinderella's bedroom in the castle, etc) and drop furniture, characters, and objects onto them. Sometimes these objects will interact with each other. Kind of like the excellent Catz! series, except for way more static and non-interactive. First of all, even if this was enough to carry a game, which it's not, there's hardly any decent content. There are like 5 rooms total, and maybe 6 or 8 characters, and probably 30 total furniture and object items to throw on there. And then, your kid is done playing. My daughter, who is 5 years of age, summed it up nicely: "Daddy, this game is boring." Avoid, avoid, avoid. A waste of money at any price.

Summary: Not one of our favorites
Review: I'm not one to lie so I have to admit I'm a boy. And even for me this CD-ROM is great. I, like SuperOdie34, (another reviewer, look up his page) don't understand why Disney just marks these kinds of CD-ROMS just for girls. When you start up the game, the Fairy Godmother will greet you and, dare I say it, turn you into a princess. However, if you are a boy, like me, press the spacebar and you'll go directly to sign in - or should I say, "picture in". Then, you will go to the kingdom overlook. To go online and get a new decoration for your dollhouse, click in the bird. To get help from the Fairy Godmother, click on the question mark. To see the credits, click on the plaque on the gate. And to leave, click on the arrow pointing to the right. To go to one of the three rooms of the two dollhouses, one is Cinderella's house and the other is the palace, move your cursor everywhere on the house until you see a room inflate. Then click on it to go to that room. I'll tell you about Cinderella's old home with Anastasia & Drizzlella first. Let's see. There's...uh...the kitchen. Yum, yum, its time for lunch. Well - maybe
Not but it is time to get cooking. Then there's the parlor. This would be a good room for Cinderella to finish her embroidery. "Cinderella,"!! Uh oh!!
Lady Tremain!! Let's scat and go on to my favorite room, The Mouse
House. Here's Jaq's, Gus' & Mary's private little house. Created by Cinderella?? No, you!! They have balls of yarn for couches, corks for
Chairs, and matchboxes or makeup containers for beds. Lucifer can't get at them though, because in the character selection category, there are only
Mice!! Now let's talk about the palace. It has three just as magical rooms
Too!! There's her highness' bedroom. Cinderella has just moved into the palace and she needs an interior decorator for her room. Oh, just because it's
Cinderella's bedroom, don't be afraid to invite The Prince in. Then there's
The ballroom. Most commonly this mainly is used for a dining room, because that's the general idea. Then we come to my favorite room, the garden. You can plant trees, flowers, and other things. Tip: this is the best place for anyone to paint. Now we'll talk about the banner under the rooms. On the right there is a printing button, an instant decorate button, a clear the room button, a help button, a return to the main menu button, and a select items/characters button. All the rest is where you select the things you want to put in the room you are working on. Every time and again during the period of when you are doing that room, characters will do something. Whether it be a smile
From a character, or Cinderella drinking tea, it won't look as if it is a dollhouse. Well that's it. I hope this review has helped you and encourages you to get this CD-ROM.

Summary: A very Good Game
Review: My 5 year old enjoys this very much. She got it last year from Santa, so she was able to navigate it at age 4. This is her favorite of the Princess Games. However, she gets very frustrated with the Fairy Godmother telling her "No Room There", because while you can drag and drop the furniture, you cannot overlap it. When the room is full, nothing else will go in. However, she has spent countless hours with this program, and overall enjoys it quite a bit.

Summary: basically a dollshouse
Review: The game lives up to its name, its a dollshouse. You pick the furniture and put it where you like almost as a number of things refuse to allow you to place them where you want even when there is plenty of room. You cannot place an object or person behind another item unless you put the back item in first.
The fun part is decorating the rooms and seeing the characters you place in the rooms interact. It would have been nice to have had more variety in the characters as you only get two cinderellas, anastasia drusella and the stepmother, the prince, three mice, a dog, aa cat and a couple of birds.
You can change the wallpaper, floor, ceiling, curtains etc (three choices of each) Also the furniture has three choices.
Disappointing is the promised downloadable decorations, they downloaded but wont run.
Overall the game is click and point, so the kids are not amused long and seldom return. It came in a package with three other games otherwise I probably would not have purchased it but games geared towards girls a few and far between with disney and barbie being almost the only ones.

Summary: One of the Best Kids Games We Own!
Review: We bought this game two months ago, along with two other kids games, and this one is by far our favorite kids game! When I say we, I mean my 7 year old who bought it with birthday money, her two sisters who are old enough to play computer games, me, my friend who lives with us (age 21), even my husband has sat down and messed around with it. It is just addictive, and fun. Not only do you get to decorate 6 rooms (Step-mother's parlor and kitchen, the mice room, and the bedroom, ballroom, and garden in the castle) then you can place people in the room and they will talk to each other. You can place items in their hands (such as flowers, food, a brush, a flute, much more) and hear them talk about what they are holding. Talk, and sometimes more! I love to have the flute out and people sitting at the piano in the step-mothers parlor. Hand something to Anastasia, and she'll say something (or sometimes say and do something), sometimes Cinderella will answer her, sometimes it will be Drizzella, the step-mother, or the Prince. It is totally fun and sometimes very funny to hear what they say to each other and see what they do with the items you give them. The game is also very easy to play and navigate, my five year old has no trouble playing all by herself. I do have three complaints against the game, one that was resolved by another persons review (thanks!). First off, we have been frustrated by the Fairy Godmothers long introduction to the game, which we did not know we could skip by hitting the space bar. They never told us that, we would sit through the whole long poem, which isn't bad, but if you have heard it 20 times already you would rather just get to the game. Problem solved now, though. The next thing that frustrates us is that occasionally one of the characters decides to look around (they don't say anything, they just look around) and you can't do anything while they look. It is a minor annoyance, just as you go to place an item into the scene, the Prince just has to look around a couple times, and you have to wait about 30 seconds or so until he is done. The third thing that frustrates us is that we are supposed to be able to download new decorative items from online, but we try and try and can not make it work. Even with these annoyances, it is still a great game that we love and play a lot.

Summary: More than we expected
Review: What a waste of twenty bucks. Slow, not funny, utterly lacking
charm or inventiveness. My six year old pumpkin is, appropriately, not interested.
