Knowledge Adventure Games for Girls

Rating:
Summary: Very good, but seems hard...
Review: My little 4 year old sister got this game for Christmas last year. She loves it! She wouldn't stop playing it, but insisted that I came on with her as she found some of the games quite hard. She likes Fisher Price Pet Shop the best because she can work it on her own, but doesn't like Barbie Super Sports because she can never win the races. She enjoys them all the same.

Summary: Not appropriate for pre-school children!!
Review: These games are simply too advanced for smaller girls.
For instance, one of the CDs is a Barbie Movie Studio. The child is to first enter casting, then wardrobe to dress the character. Once she has done that, she is to enter the scene editor where she constructs a story. Next, it is off to editing where she is to crop and splice certain scenes to construct her move.
Ages 4-9?? No, I don't think so.
The rest of them simply aren't much better.
I can see where it might be fun for older girls with advanced reading/critical thinking skills. For your preschooler or first/second grader, it is a complete waste of money.
