User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great game for dog lovers
My daughter received a Leapster for her 5th birthday. Pet Pals was her first game and she played it non-stop. I wasn’t sure it was challenging enough to hold her attention, but it really did. Maybe because she just loves dogs so much & we don’t have one! She loves cleaning and grooming the dog of her choice and competing in the dog show.

5 Stars Pets
My daughter LOVES this game, its very educational when it comes to following directions as well as helping your child with letters and numbers. my daughter is obsessed with dora and spongebob, but she much rather play this game over those. you cant go wrong with this leapster game!

5 Stars one of our daughter’s best leapster cartridges
Our daughter, almost 4, received Pet Pals as gift. She and her brother have several other cartridges but this is perhaps the best so far. She has a lot of fun with it. Pet Pals is also very intuitive and gives very good prompts. I highly recommend this as a nice addition to a small child’s leapster collection.

5 Stars Great for long car rides!
It was a gift for my grandson’s third birthday. A little complicated the first day or two and then he got the hang of it and loves it. He has learned a lot from it. Great for the car or appointments.

5 Stars great game
My 5yr old daughter also loves this game. She has left her Princess game to get dusty and only plays Pet Pals. Her 7yr and 2yr old brothers try to sneak turns on it, too.

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.

______________________________________________

SPACE

Shoot the correct number to get to navigate through space to get to the ship where the prisoner is held.

Level 1: features recognition of numbers 1 through 10.

Level 2: features subtraction of single digit numbers.

Level 3: features addition of a two digit number with a single digit number.

THE SHIP

To get through the rooms, answer questions about time.

Level 1: questions feature time of day, like when do you usually leave for school (morning, afternoon, evening)?

Level 2: learn how to read time on an analogue clock to the hour.

Level 3: learn to read time on an analogue clock to the half hour.

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.

5 Stars Cars Supercharged
I purchased these games for my grandson. He said they were fun and he was learning alot. He’s 5 and only received the games on 2/26 for his birthday. Sorry I have no more feedback than that.

1 Star total waste of money
i bought this game this morning for my 4 yr old son. wish i’d never bought it. it’s a total waste of money. my 4 yr old son found it extremely boring and wanted to stop playing after 10 minutes. i tried it too and i have to agree with him. too bad you can’t return the game once opened. my son doesn’t want to play it anymore, so that’s $30 down the drain. we are extremely disappointed. not sure now if i want to buy any other leapster games.

3 Stars Ok Game – but not too exciting.
It’s a fun game, and the kids play with it. But definetly not that great. It pretty much is the same driving course, with different math questions.

Good if you child is a Cars Fanatic. But I highly recommend Sonic over this one for 5 – 6 year old. If you child is younger – maybe 4 – than this would be appropriate.

5 Stars Great Leapster Game
My 5 year old daughter got this as a gift for Christmas and she just loves playing this game! I’ve played a few of the games on it myself and was surprised as to how much you actually can learn. Educational and fun :)

5 Stars Educational and Entertaining
My nephew’s face lit up when he opened his new game. Despite all the other cool gifts he received for his birthday, the first one he chose to open and play with was his Leapster game!

5 Stars My son loved it!
I got this for my oldest son for his sixth birthday, he loved it and mastered it very quickly which was a confidence booster for him!

5 Stars Leapfrog-Dora’s Camping Adventure
My granddaughter starting playing this as soon as she opened the present. We are all big outdoor people, and this is teaching about wonderful outdoor adventures in english and spanish. The game incorporates other learning within the adventures, the kids think they are playing a fun game but learning about so many new things. She enjoys playing this leapfrog game often.

5 Stars My daugher’s favorite
My four year old daughter got this game for Xmas with her Leapster2. It is a great game. She was playing it in the car today it was singing songs in Spanish and she was telling her 7 year old sister what the songs were in English. There is a game that you go on a raft and match the shapes/letters/etc. When she first got the game she had a lot of difficulty. She hasn’t mastered this game yet but she can now play it. It is very entertaining for her. I do see her having room to grow with this game.

2 Stars Graphics are bad, too many prompts
My daughter took to my husband’s DS recently. She is able to play Smart Girls Playhouse and the Deigo game almost with no help. Since that is a little advanced for an almost 3 year old I bought her this game on the Leapster. While the Leapster is still not technically in her age range I noticed that there was a lot of periods of talking in this game and even I had a hard time getting the unit to respond to the game (left, right, etc on the navi pad). Mostly though I’m very disappointed in this day and age that for what they charge the graphics are still so bad on these games.

5 Stars Super educational and lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an educational game. It teaches spanish/english words, it teaches about animals, numbers, to add, to subtract. It is lots of fun. My twin 4 yr olds absolutely love it!!!!!!

5 Stars great game
This game is great. My daughters – ages 3 and 4- love it. It teaches them adding, subtracting, and number recognition.

5 Stars Awesome leapster game!!
We got this for our 3yo son for Christmas. We weren’t expecting him to catch on right away since he is so young (just turned 3 in Nov.) but he proved us wrong. He quickly learned how to control Diego and complete the missions.

There are 3 areas to play (desert, rain forest, Antarctica) and each area has 3 levels of difficulty to chose from. The first level teaches basics such as “Find the number 4″ “Find a red shape”. The more difficult levels work on larger numbers and math skills.

I think my son will be able to grow into this game and be able to use it for several years. Great game!

4 Stars Great Game for Diego Lovers
I got this game for my three year old and he taught himself to use most of the games after a short lesson. He loves it. Great for education and even a little dexterity.

5 Stars Diego
My son LOVES this one! He has several to choose from and this is the ONE! I am amazed at how quickly he has been learning it since he just turned 3.
