5 Stars Great game for a 3 year old.
I bought a used Leapster and this is one of the many games that came with it. After playing all the games I think this is the most suitable for my 3 year old, he is able to play many of the mini games that come in the cartrige without my help, he also likes Dora a lot. Great educational game.

1 Star Too Boring
We got this for my sister along with the leapster. She loves Dora so we just HAD to get this. My sister’s 6 and maybe she’s growing out of Dora because she tired of this game very quickly and so did I. It was too repetitive and not quite as intersting as the Sonic game we also got. So in comparison, Dora was “borrr-ing” as my sister said when she switched to play another game.

So even if you child loves Dora, don’t buy this game unless your child is under the age of 6. I think even the game was made special for kids still learning about up and down and counting and not for kids in school. It really itsn’t worth it, and not very exciting. Remember to follow the age suggestions when in doubt, that helps. My sister was past the Dora game educational speaking, even if she still loved the character Dora.

5 Stars I guess it depends on the kid
Both my kids got L-Max’s for Christmas. I bought the Dora Game for my daughter (she’s 3) but she wasn’t really into. My son on the other hand (4 years) loves this game. It is definitely his favorite. In all they have Dora, Letter Factory, Disney Princesses and Cars. My son likes Dora and Letter Factory, while my daughter enjoys the other two more.

5 Stars Ava’s Dora the Explorer Review
I am six years old. I like to play games and look for animals with Dora. I play this game a lot. It is one of my favorite games. My other favorites are Kindergarten and Finding Nemo. I think anybody my age would love this game.

5 Stars nice Leapster addition for Dora fans
This Dora cartridge for the Leapster was one of our daughter’s favorite Christmas presents. Even though she had lost some interest in Dora she still was happy to receive this Leapster game. Our daughter already has the Backyardigans and Princess cartridges. This Leapster cartridge is a nice addition to her rotation of Leapster games and other toys. At 3.5 years some things on the Dora game are still difficult for our little girl but she still enjoys it. If your child likes Dora and has some Leapster experience I’d recommend this game.

5 Stars I love Big Screen FreeCell
I already had the burgundy freecell game by Radica, and have played it for years. The center roller was not consistently working, so it was time for a new model. After playing the Big Screen model for about a month, I picked up my old game again. I absolutely love the new navigation up & down arrows; this works so much better than the old roller for scrolling. I also quickly realized how much better the lighted screen is. I love this game.

1 Star Buy A Laptop
I imagine this gadget may be adequate for the UltraHardcore Freecell Junkies among us. However, even as big a Freecell Zombie as I am I think this hand held “version” is a useless POS. I find it impossible to differentiate the four suits in any useful way. Yeah, you can see them by squinting but, since there’s no color involved to distinguish hearts and diamonds from clubs and spades, it’s almost impossible to figure out which card should go where. In addition, and, I think, a problem with all these solitare games, is the fact that you cannot see the entire field of cards so you have no idea where the aces are, e.g., without constantly using the “up” and “down” buttons.

In short, this game is pretty much for those who are desperate to play Freecell in the WORST way, because this is truly the worst way I can imagine. If you are totally jonesing for a hit of Freecell and you’re dependant on your desktop, then get yourself a small laptop. Don’t waste your money, as I did, on this toy.

5 Stars Big Screen Free Cell
It takes a few minutes to get used to the screen. Reading the instructions really helps!! Once you get the hang of it it’s great. My husband plays this every day. It’s great to cart along to a dental or doctor’s appointment – makes that time in the waiting room seem short!

1 Star Not much fun
I really wanted to enjoy this but it’s not like the game on my computer (as stated in the description) the card piles are all the same and worse, there is no undo button which for those of us just learning the game, is essential. Once you move a card, that is it, no mistakes allowed. Perhaps this game is only for those who really know the game and somehow can make this thing work and have fun. I found only frustration.

5 Stars Big Screen Free Cell
I’m on my second one. I wore one out. I have had it a couple of years. It still works but is getting a little beat up. I play it almost every day. It lights up so it’s easy to see with the lights out. Love it. My Mom’s on her second one also.

5 Stars Keep away Ball
My kids love to play with this ball (they are 8 and 10 year old boys). So do all their friends.

2 Stars Great fun and disappointment
This nerf ball was great fun, even the wife got into it. My daughter received this as a gift today. After about 30 minutes the ball would just turn itself off for no reason. You could always start the game over and then it would shut itself down again in the middle of the game. Very annoying, I suppose it’s defective. If I could get a good one I would definitely purchase another. But now we are sending this one back to Amazon.

Disappointed

5 Stars cosmic keep away is the Bomb
The kids in the neiborhood like cosmic keep away so much that they come and ask to play with it even when my kids are not home. It makes you think fast, and gives structure to the game. Love it!

5 Stars Great product!
We gave this to our 10 year old son for Christmas and he loves it. He is always throwing a ball with friends and this added some variation to it. He played with it in the snow and I was a little concerned about the water getting into it. So far, so good. I wouldn’t recommend dropping it in a bathtub, but the few times it landed on the ground it seems very durable.

5 Stars Nerf Cosmic Keep away
I purchased this for my grandsons, they love it.They play with their friends and they all have a great time. It will be more fun in the spring when they can play it outside.

1 Star What a rip!
My grown daughters and I are huge Twilight fans and I bought the game for us to play when they visited. What a major let down! The instructions were not only poorly written, but very, very incomplete. Most of the directions on the playing cards were not explained anywhere either, so we had no clue what to do-and all three of us are intelligent women. I can not imagine a young person trying to figure this game out. We finally gave up and tried to play it like Trivia, the actual Twilight questions anyway. But, even some of the questions were incomplete and some of the answers were wrong! I’m guessing the makers spent all of 24 hours creating this game. Save your money-buy Monopoly.

4 Stars Twilight the board game…
This is an okay game… the trivia questions are spectacular but the challenges are lame especially if you dont have alot of people to play with… the more players the better but if you are playing with people you know pretty well then the challenges arent real challenging!! I love the artwork tho on the cards and board… many scenes from the movie are depicted which are really fun to look at!! overall tho not a bad attempt at a game!!

1 Star Can’t wait till the Trivial Pursuit Twilight Game
The instructions are confusing… The questions are way too easy… the challenges for the white daggers were stupid and definitely boring and have nothing to do with the books or movie.

I do not recommend this to anyone. If you want to play a Twilight game wait for Trivial Pursuit. At least then the questions will have some challenge and will include book and movie trivia!

One more thing about this game…. on the cards it will say, Plot Challenge – human… or plot challenge-vampire… Your supposed to do something different with each version… at least thats what I got out of the directions… although what you’re supposed to do with them is completely beyond me… especially since its not clearly marked as to what you are to do with them.

Maybe if the directions were more clear and easier to understand, then maybe the ratings would be a little higher…

2 Stars Disappointing….
I played this game with my daughter and it is very disappointing. First, the instructions are lacking in information and not clear on how the game is to be played. There is no mention of playing in teams – human vs. vampire. I only found this out by Googling the game. Second, there are many typos on the challenge cards. It is like they didn’t take time to review this product for quality before production. Third, the white dagger challenge questions are too easy and really have nothing to do with Twilight… For example, you win the challenge if you roll the die and get a 2 or above. This means you have a 5 in 6 chance of winning the challenge. There are “Story” cards that opponents can play to add or subtract numbers to a die roll; but again, the instructions are not clear on how to use these cards. Last, the overall quality of this product is low. The game pieces are basically slips of paper that you insert in a stand. The cards are not sturdy and easily bendable. In addition book fans will be disappointed to learn that the questions in the game are based on the movie – you will find contradictions! If you must buy this game – know that you are not getting quality.

4 Stars FUN!
I bought this game because I was having a Twilight party. There were 7 of us playing, and we had a blast. The age range of our players was 17 to 41, and everyone really enjoyed the game.

At first, the directions are unclear, but once you start playing, you can get the hang of the game quickly. The object is collect all 8 “scene cards”. To do this, you complete challenges. Some challenges are trivia from the movie, while others are rolling the dice. Most of the trivia questions are extremely easy if you have seen the movie, but there were a few stump-worthy questions. Then there are other challenges that test your powers of observation and your knowledge of the other players. For example, in one challenge, everyone has to write down their biggest fear, and the challenger has to try to guess what they are.

This game is an extremely fun, interactive game. Although, it is best played by four or more players.

The only downfall to the game it that the game pieces and cards are not very sturdy. They are made of flimsy cardboard and feature the Cullen Crest in different colors. I would have preferred something made likw Monopoly game pieces, and have them shaped like characters from the series.

Halo 3 Series 3 Jackal Major

Halo 3 Series 3 – Jackal Major

Ages 14+

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars awesome figure!!!!
When i ordered this figure i thought i was making a mistake but when it got here i was really amazed at how perfect this figure is. His poseability is just outstanding to a figure like this. What is really amazing is how durable he is. I’m not saying to drop him down the stairs and see if he made it though. In all this figure is just a perfect edition to any halo collection and any halo fan. P.s. the plasma pistol is really small in person,be careful not to lose it.

4 Stars Halo 3 Series 3 – Jackal Major
The toy was just what I had expected. They are used for a boy to complete a set mostly to decorate his room. It suits it’s purpose. As with many action figure toys, the weapons etc are a little tough to keep in the figures hands at times, but overall we are pleased with the toy. It is is a very good representation of the game figure from the Halo video game.

1 Star NOT a toy!
Falls apart easily. Only good as a statue. I will not buy Mc Farlane toys anymore.

5 Stars Jackal
I collect Halo 3 items of all kinds. Since I got my hands on a few action figures, I havent been able to stop collecting them. The Jackal is one of my favorite foes in the game, and I had to get my hands on the action figure. It is very accurate in detail, and the shield is really cool looking. I love this action figure and I also have the Jackal with a beam rifle.
