User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars perfect, met expectations
my 4 year old can play level 1 and I really enjoy helping him play

5 Stars Star Wars
Both my sons 6 & 4 enjoy playing this game. It uses basic math as tool to fight and advance.

4 Stars Star Wars Lego for Leapster is a Winner
My son asked for this toy — he enjoys his Leapster L-Max & he is a fan of Star Wars. I got it for him for Easter and he plays with it. He is six and the game challenges him and motivates him to develop his arithmetic skills in a stimulating and exciting way.

5 Stars Great for teaching math and time skills
My 7 year old son loves Star Wars The Clone Wars, so I knew he would like this.

The best thing about the game is the questions get more difficult as the player advances within the chosen level. So, though it may start with single digit number recognition, it advances to double digit number recognition. It may start with asking about general time of day, but then advances to specific time of day and then to reading time on a digital clock.

I recommend this game for pre-K through second grade.

A more detailed description is presented below.

______________________________________________

LIGHTSABER DUEL

Answer the math questions quickly and Skywalker attacks. Answer incorrectly and the enemy attacks. The faster the player answers, the more power they get for their attack.

5 Stars My son loves it!
I really like the Leapster games because of their great educational value. For my son is a wonderful option since he loves to play and makes him realize that learning is like a game and not a boring thing to do.

Star Wars Interactive R2D2 Astromech Droid Robot

June 30th, 2009

Star Wars Interactive R2D2 Astromech Droid Robot




Once the loyal companion to Queen Amdala, this roughly 14″ utility droid is now programmed to be your devoted helper and friend. Grab his attention by saying “Hey, Artoo!” and he’s ready for more than 40 voice commands! Ask him if he remembers his famous friends, like Luke Skywalker, C-3PO or Jabba the Hutt. Each name will stir up a different response depending on Artoo’s “feelings” for that character. Just a few of Artoo’s amazing attributes include moving along on his own, turning his front beam on and off, and even playing a secret message when you follow the proper voice commands. In “Game” mode, Artoo plays the hide-and-seek game of Light Tag, dances to cantina music, guards your room with his sentry alarm , or even jazzes up your next party with “Spin The Droid.” Once you’ve mastered Artoo’s “companion” and “game” modes, move on to “command” mode for plotting real-time maneuvering or programmed courses for the droid to follow! Artoo also boasts a secret cargo compartment and a unique swing-down utility arm that’s also a beverage holder! Window box packaging.

5 Stars Best Robot For the Buck!
R2 is a hit in our house! This little fellow is non-stop fun. Our son loves playing with him more than playing with the dog (R2 is much more obedient). Getting around the house is generally pretty easy for R2. He can almost always get himself out of a jam. His voice command capability works well and his sensor capability and programming are excellent for a robot at this price point. While the range of commands are limited, R2 does everything he’s been programmed to do with excellence and even surprises you from time to time. We have had no problems at all with him.

There is no better buy in a robot at this price point. R2 has become a permanent part of our family. Now we’re waiting for C3PO!

1 Star Barely worked and went downhill from there…
My daughter wanted this for her eighth birthday. Used brand new batteries (confirmed the full charge with a meter). From the start, it would only accept a small subset of the commands and only from me – it wouldn’t recognize the voices of any of our three kids or my wife, no matter how clearly spoken in a room free of all other noise. Even with me it would work at most a few minutes before going first into “bad R2 mode where it refuses your commands.” But despite what the manual said, it would not respond to “behave” or a verbal reset command. Once in this mode it eventually had to be turned off and left off for a while before it would work at all. If you left it on instead, it would eventually even stop acknowledging commands at all. After a few days of giving it more tries in more and more controlled situations (just me in a totally quiet room, etc.) it got more and more erratic. For example, even when I could get it to respond, its action to any command was to go straight backwards, ignoring its sensors, running into a wall and continuing to spin its wheels until turned off…

Even after all these tests I checked the batteries and they were still near full, so it wasn’t a power issue. I wanted to exchange it (in case ours was just bad) but Amazon is no longer selling it directly (only through third party vendors) so I accepted a refund and my daughter got a Nintendo DSi instead, which she’s much happier with.

4 Stars R2 is definitely an entertaining toy
I purchased R2 for my boyfriend because he saw this little guy on y0utube and he looked like so much fun to play with. Previous reviews had me a little nervous because it seemed like the previous R2s purchased had some type of response flaw. I took a chance and purchased this R2 as a x-mas gift. He came in a very unique cylindrical plastic box. It didn’t have toy written on the casing, so it had felt like a real android had been brought. I shoved some batteries in his compartment, and we immediately tried to play with him. The stubborn little android didn’t listen to the commands, but after a while it seemed to do as he was told. His stubborn charm mimics R2 from the movies, and the more interaction there is with him, the more he seems to learn. We haven’t had any functional problems with R2, although he tried running over the 2 ferrets we have when he went into patrol mode. (which was actually very hilarious) Now, he’s just kept untouched to try to keep him in like new conditions. He’s a very entertaining android holding true to his character. Definitely a must-have for any Star Wars fan.

1 Star Nice novelty item, but don’t waste your money for toy value
As the father and husband to a family of Star Wars fanatics (we’ll call them Padme’ and Obi-Wan), we HAD to have this gizmo. We played and played and played with it for about 5 minutes until the novelty wore off and it’s ability to respond to commands resulted in backtalk bickering generally reserved for my 5 year old.

I returned the first one we purchased because it was defective. The replacement arrived and it was obviously a unit someone else had returned, no doubt irritated at the lack of fun it provided.

This toy / collectible is neat to look at, but it’s really not very fun to play with if you can even get it to work. It’s a nice try, but don’t waste your money.

4 Stars Not so Bad
Good toy for those who have patience.It’s fun but he is a bit stubborn.

He is a good toy when you have friends over.
