Also, some older girls may find the idea of dressing dolls a little insulting. This game is good for young girls, but the lack of adjustable difficulty settings will turn older players away after one or two times through. At the end of the program, you'll return to Celine's garden. You can play games over by clicking on the pink star. At the sewing shop, make the dresses all of one color again to get the ribbons. At the baker's shop, decorate the wedding cake to get the loaf of bread. Get a loaf of bread and some hair ribbons for the goose girl you'll meet. Take the boat to the country across the sea. When players return to the boat they will need to find a golden key, used later in the game. Getting to the rose hedge earns the player another shell. At the Ogre's cottage, guide Rapunzel through the maze to the rose hedge. When Rapunzel has organized the Dragon's gold and jewels for him, she'll gain a silver shell. At the Dragon's cave, tidy up the scattered treasure. She can get one silver shell from the Dragon and another from the Ogre. When Rapunzel finally escapes from the witch's tower, she must gain two silver shells to get the fairy's boat and cross the sea. There are twelve cards to match with a variety of pictures. The second activity is a memory game in the kitchen, where players try to match pictures on cards. Players can experiment with the dresses for as long as they like. By clicking on the stairway, players enter a small room where Barbie (as Rapunzel) keeps her dresses, accessories, and jewels. The first is Dress Up, accessed from the first page of the story. It also is pretty easy on the eyes too so it has that going for it also.Players follow the story of Rapunzel with the chance to play six different games along the way. It is ideal for kids who love Barbie and who are just getting into games as it is played at a slower pace and is easy enough to get through all the levels. I do think that this is a decent enough looking game and the animations are not to bad either.īarbie as the Princess and the Pauper is a decent little (all be it rather short) platform game. To be fair, while it will not win any prizes for the way it looks. There are many of these Barbie games and they all have a similar look. Clearly, this is a game that is aimed at the younger demographic and there is nothing wrong with that. There are two difficulty levels here, but neither one is all that hard. There are these harder, boss like levels to that you have to do before moving onto the next level. There are four different areas in the game and each of the areas has its own levels that you need to complete. As a platformer, it is a pretty standard affair. If you expected Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper to be a 2D platform game then well done, you win a prize! The game sees you pick two of the characters to play as and you will need to make use of their abilities to get through the level. I am actually impressed at how much variety there is to each character. The two cats also have abilities! Serafina has the ability to climb up the trees and Wolfie is able to dig for stuff. The Pauper can use magical notes to reach hard to get items and so on. The two human characters each have a special ability. One of the interesting things about Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is that it has four playable characters.

Basically, there is a big bad who wants to bring chaos to the kingdom and only the Princess, the Pauper, and their two cats can save the day. Instead, you play as The Princess and the Pauper along with their two cats. However, you do not technically play as “Barbie”.
OLD RAPUNZEL COMPUTER GAME MOVIE
Look, I have not seen the movie so I do not know how closely this follows the movie. The one we are looking at today is for the Game Boy Advance and if you are a Barbie fan or know someone who is, it could be worth checking out. There were many Barbie movies during this time and most of them had a video game tie in. Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is a straight to DVD movie that was released back in 2004.
