uDraw Disney Princess: Enchanted Storybooks (Wii)

DISNEY PRINCESS: ENCHANTED STORYBOOK for the Wii's uDraw tablet introduces players to Opal, the Keeper of Color. The game begins with this vibrant fairy enlisting the aid of players to recolor six famous princess storybooks. Once completed, each storybook will add a color to the kingdom's rainbow and a fresh hue to the drab, black and white landscape. The storybooks, composed of five chapters each, tell the tales of Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana. Pages are narrated and offer interactive activities. Players tap the pictures to make them move, connect series of numbered dots to create pictures, trace the outlines of silhouetted characters, and follow series of notes with the stylus to play songs. There are about a dozen different quick and simple activities, all told. Players can also access scores of coloring sheets from the easel in the main menu.

Disney Princess: Enchanted Storybooks offers activities that are about on par with what you'd find on a family restaurant's paper placemat for kids. Players color pictures by number, find their way through mazes, and slide character cutouts across scenes. The difference is that there are a lot more of them than you'd find on a placemat, they're endearingly interactive, and they're set in a sextet of princess stories that kids know and love.

Our six-and-a-half-year-old tester -- a devoted Disney princess fan -- had a fun time with it, but worked her way through the stories pretty quickly. She's probably approaching the older end of the game's target demographic. It's appropriate for ages 4 to 8, skewing more to the younger end of that scale.
