Fancy Nancy: Tea Party Time! for Nintendo DS takes players right into the world that the book series has made so popular. Nancy is a little girl who believes everything in life deserves to be made “fancy”, from her clothes to her hair to her poodle Frenchy. In fact if she can use a French word for something, that makes her even happier! Little girls will love helping Nancy in this adorable game from THQ.
In this game, players explore Nancy’s neighborhood on a mission to help Mrs. DeVine plan the perfect party. Nancy needs to find all of the supplies needed for the party while solving easy challenges. Because Nancy loves to try on different outfits, the game cleverly has challenges that call for changing Nancy’s clothes, sometimes minute to minute! For example, Nancy’s raincoat, boots and umbrella are required for wading through puddles, and her fairy wings outfit helps her jump across long distances. The game is intuitive and was easy for my almost-5 year old daughter to play with minimal help.
Kaitlyn’s favorite parts of the game are searching for the colorful “Fancies” that are traded for virtual stickers, and a game where Nancy has to pull vegetables out of the garden before the rabbits eat them. This game has been holding her interest for weeks and she never seems to tire of doing the same challenges over and over. She’s even started saying a few French words she learned in the game!
