Rating: - Pretty impressive . . .
This game is really fun. It involves a lot of reading, but still is fun. I would reccomend it to somebody who has read her series. The minigames can get hard, and the instructions are a little hard to understand. I reccomend it ages 8 and up.
Rating: - boring!
I gave this to my nine year old and she is bored with it after two days. The mini games are really mini....way to short. I like the fact that there is a lot of reading, but my daughter said if she wanted to read she would pick-up her book, not her DS.
My four year old doesn't like it either...she can't read, and the games are just too short to keep her attention.
I would not recommend this product.
Rating: - Fun for girls, but doesn't take very long to play -
I gave this game to my daughter for her 12th birthday. In one day, she's played it about 3 or 4 hours. She really likes it, but she's about 2/3 of the way through the story. I don't think she'll play it much once she's finished, so I think she'll get at most about 10 hours of play from it.
My daughter is one who has never cared much for the American Girl books about the characters (though she likes the magazine, dolls and accessories), but she said this is much more fun than the "Meet Julie" book would be. She likes getting to choose what Julie wears, and completing the various missions. She says the mini-games aren't too hard, and some of them are pretty fun.
The only other DS game she really likes is Animal Crossing.
She said her 8 year old brother wouldn't like it because the most violent thing that happens is a plant falls out a window!
Rating: - Great for 9-12 year olds
My girls got this game for Christmas. The game requires a lot of reading and can be challenging at times. My 9 year old is 85% through the game. She likes the story mode better than the mini games. Some of the activities through out the story really require puzzle solving skills and creativity.
Unless you plan on playing it with your child, I recommend this to good readers only. You can read more about the game at http://www.dolldiaries.com.
Rating: - Really Fun!
This game was really fun,but it was a little too easy. I finished it a day or two after I got it. There was a few negatives. The graphics were a little strange,& I had a little trouble moving aroud in the game. I highly recommend this game.
