I played games with several female friends during high school and in my experience, they'll play just about anything, if just to try it. Most of them enjoyed Guitar Hero and Rockband the most.
...Except when they're playing with me because I dwarf their score so hard they feel like losers afterward. [sub][sub]Why can't we play games just to play them, anymore?[/sub][/sub]
Several of them quite enjoyed JRPGs, actually. We played Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss for hours on end.
That's just my experience, though.
