Disney's Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea

This collection of five games, inspired by Disney's new Direct-To-Video movie, has a strength that will keep you returning to the disk for a long time. The best is "Too Cool!" where players can help Melody defeat the evil Morgana and free the Trident. For some reason, Morgana has the Trident frozen in a block of ice, and you need to collect "Power Crystals" to release it! Running and swimming through the maze in this game is loads of fun, and It's even more fun when you collect the Power Ups: Snowballs thrown by Tip & Dash, (They are soooooo cute in this game) and magic potion that can turn Melody into a mermaid! Of course, Morgana's hench fish are after you, and it can get really hard at higher levels. And once you finaly have the Trident, you have to use it to defeat Morgana, which may or may not be easy.

In "Melody's Daring Dive", players can help Malody dive into the water to collect gems to make jelwery. This game is really neat because it has three worlds-Hope Reef, Quaky Caverns, & Pirate Point-and plenty of adventure! The most fun you can have with this game is when you start riding on a Dolphin, to which you can move a whole lot faster! Just watch out for mean fish, and be carefull you don't run out of air!

Finally in "Aquabatics" you can Choreograph an underwater dance performence. Tip & Dash host this game, which I find extra nice as they are my faveorite charactors from the film. And don't be afraid to add more than one Ariel or Melody on the stage at once: that's part of the fun! If you are willing to work a long time with this, do so: The results will be spectacular!

The other games include a standerd Sing Along activity, and a paint box activity, where you can make art work based on the film. I am so mad at Disney for saying this software is just for girls. Don't they realize if they aim it at both genders, they would sell TWICE as much software?!
