Even though it's for kids, it just feels a bit shallow and easy. Combat is rarely difficult unless you're later in the game and haven't levelled up enough so there's no real sense of danger throughout the game. You sort of go through the motions albeit very slick ones with tight controls and smooth graphics.
It would have also been nice to have some extra 2 player game modes in there for more family fun. Still, it's a good game and even though there's swordplay, no-one dies. All the enemies you fight turn into frogs, rabbits and foxes etc when defeated.

This game always reminded me of I-Ninja a platformer game that came out back in the PS2/OG Xbox days kinda wish that game got a remaster.
