Magic Fairy Tales: Barbie as Rapunzel
Magic Fairy Tales - Barbie As Rapunzel is an interactive storybook adventure in which the player helps Princess Barbie rescue Prince Galen.The story is told by the players fairy godmother Celinda's. Her garden forms the game's menu with hot-spots to start the game in play or story mode, another triggers the picture section where scenes from the story can be printed to be coloured in later and another allows the player to enter the story at any point.The story is in the form of an animated book with short written passages that are read by the narrator, as the words are spoken the words are highlighted. This is then followed by a short animated sequence which carries the action on to the next chapter. The game can be played in two ways, one as a read-along book in which the puzzles can be skipped, the other as a storybook game. Typically Rapunzel must collect things to allow her to progress on her travels, these usually come in the form of rewards for either helping a character or for completing a puzzle. Apart from entering the players name at the beginning the game, in either mode of play, is entirely mouse controlled via big colourful icons on the left of the screen.
