Fairyland: Melody Magic (Nintendo DS)
common sense media says
Adorable but short musical adventure for the youngest kids.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this adorable, very easy game will likely be deemed to simplistic for anyone over six. Preschoolers and kindergarteners, though, will appreciate how skilled the game will make them feel. It's also important to take note, though, that the game is short and if your kids aren't interested in replaying the adventure, it won't have a long shelf-life in your household. Also, be aware that the game frequently asks children to sing -- and important factor to keep in mind if your kids are playing the game in public.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Positive role models:
The fairies are friendly, music-loving girls, who choose pacifistic methods for saving their kingdom. Their only flaw might be that they get too excited over pretty dresses.
Ease of play:
The game really could not be easier. Preschoolers should have no trouble with it. The chunky "magic wand" stylus that comes packaged with the game even makes it easier for little hands to operate. There are singing sections, which ask the child to repeat a line he or she hears a fairy sing, but singing on key is not necessary.
Violence & scariness:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
