Mermaid Barbie Adventure review:2 stars (Incredibly EASY game for toddler to play) - My daughter turned 4 in July 2005. I bought this September 16th, 2005. So my kid is just a few months past 4. She finished this game in less than an hour. This game is incredibly easy for any toddler who has played computer games before. The graphics are cute and the colors are vivid. My daughter did enjoy playing the game, but it really didn't offer any new challenges or teach her anything new. I would recommend this to a parent who has a child who has just learned to use the mouse and is just learning some simple concepts like "matching". This game would also be good to help a new computer user learn to use the mouse. Lots of navigation in this game with the mouse. 2 stars (Way Too Short) - My 5 year old daughter finished the entire game in 42 minutes. The activities in the game are very simple. She still plays it but it doesn't compare to Barbie as Princess and the Pauper, or Barbies Pet Rescue which are much much better, quite a bit longer, and more replayable. Mermaid adventure's music I thought was quite good and I enjoyed the clown fish jokes but other than that I thought the game was poor at best.1 stars (Not worth the money) - We bought this game for my 6 year old daughter. She finished this game in less than an hour. There are only four levels and two "activities" per level. Its beyond easy. Total waste of money. Try something else.
