Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism We really enjoy this 'smartridge'. It was given to my daughter as a gift. She loves princesses and this is total princess girly. The games are not too difficult for a young child to play. I will say though that I think there are two things that make this game maybe a low five or a very high four as opposed to a high five rating. First- this game is probably the least educational one that I have seen to date. For example, there is one game where you dress Ariel and this is supposed to teach color recognition and matching. Really, it is a form of vicarious dress up. Second- Many of the games seem to focus a lot on colors and this is something most children at this age already know. I would have preferred something a bit more challenging. Otherwise, this game is fun and educational. The games are easy and fun and very girly girly. My young daughter found it fairly easy to operate with little direction from me. Enjoy. Well worth the money. Vtech - V.Smile - The Little Mermaid Available from Amazon Updated on 12-7-2008.
