I bought it for the Playstation 2 because I love princesses.
It is definitely geared towards 5 year olds (not that I wasn't expecting it to be), but I will still play it and learn about friendship and happiness!!
It really is a cute game though and very pretty lands. I was dissappointed that there was no Sleeping Beauty though.

Haha, I must ask, is there really as much physical movement necessary for the game as the commercial shows?


I love the Wii because of that, i really do.

 

[Shere_Khan]

I'm not sure because I don't have a Wii. I got the game for Playstation 2. So it is all on a controller.

 

[Jesùs_Carioca]

Oh, of course, of course, sorry.

You see, i read your post prior to watching the video...which i was just mesmerized by the girls playing wii that i over thought that you had a ps2.
