Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey

My wife purchased this game for our daughter’s birthday in January. She picked it up on a whim and I *almost* took it back due to spotty reviews and the repeated mention of of short the game is. Well… the game was *very* short for us as it is completely broken.

The game becomes unplayable anytime there is a point in the game where you need to use the wiimote as a pointer. This makes the game basically impossible to play at certain points.

When you use the wiimote to point at the screen the cursor jumps and flickers and is impossible to control. This makes mini-games like the Sebastian/Octopus one COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. In fact it is seemingly impossible to get out of the mini-game. It’s only the pointing part that is broken as the ‘Wand’ use of the wiimote is perfect.

My daughter was upset she couldn’t play the game – but I told her I would take it back and get her another (less buggy) one but of course the local —mart where we bought it wouldn’t take it back ‘Because of copyright laws’. This is absurd… how could you know a game is hopelessly buggy without opening it?

I am going to be contacting Disney Interactive and a higher level of Customer Service in an effort to get a refund for this frustratingly broken game.

It’s sad Disney let such a buggy product get into the hands of the public and infuriating that you can be told ‘Sorry you bought a buggy product but you’re stuck with it’.

The game had lots of promise and the voice work and graphics were nice enough to wow my girl… too bad the controls render the rest of the game useless.

I rated the game’s fun factor a 1 because we never will know if it’s much fun … and the overall as 1 because it has a game-breaking bug.

This game was horrible.

The “bogs”/scarey guys were ugly, they scared my 6 year old. The graphics weren’t that great and you do the same thing over and over in the whole game!

My daughter wanted to play it, but made me do pretty much everything because she was scared of the ugly little bogs.

I’m glad we just rented this instead of buying, im surprised Disney didn’t take the time to come up with a better game than this!

I’m not sure what I think of this game. The graphics are well done, and the game is set up to allow girls to succeed with it; there are no time limits, and errors are self-correcting. But my 7 year old has difficulty with this, and often asks for help with it. It’s divided into different princess world that the character your child creates explores. Ariel (The Little Mermaid) is the easiest, followed by Jasmine, Cinderella, and Snow White’s world is the hardest. So far my daughter is about half way through Jasmine’s world. It’s going slowly for her, which may not be a bad thing, because I’m not sure how much replay value this is going to have once she completes it. I’m a bit mixed on my feelings about this game; it’s pretty decent for the price, but with the difficulties my daughter is encountering playing it, I’m thinking this might not have been the best choice for her.

hello fellow moms and dads. I am a mom of a four year old girl who likes the game but it does frustrate her. She doesn’t like the bogs. I am having a hard time with the Cinderella second chapter. And because of that my daughter is also frustrated. When you reach Cindrella in the Manor are you supposed to be able to shake your wand to release her? Because it wasn’t working for me. Am I missing a step?

If someone can help me that would be great. Because of this, I am not a huge fan of this game for 3 or 4 yr. olds.

My four year old daughter loved this game, but frankly it was a lot harder in some areas than it should be. The instructions were not that great, and in some situations there is no way the child could figure out how to get task solved. The graphics and sound are very good in the game
