 Fun, but not necessarily educational for the indicated age groupAug 29, 2010
I got the game for my 6-yr old for her Leapster 2. I had a hard time with the ratings, because I would rate it differently for a 6-yr old than a 4-yr old. My 3-star rating primarily reflects my assessment of the educational value of the game for a 6-yr old. Regarding its ability to engage the kids, I would give the game 5 stars. My daughter loves the game -- mostly for the game/fun aspect of it.
I do not think this game provides a significant learning opportunity for a 6-yr old. I have now watched her play 3 of the games closely. Here is my assessment:
- WordBird: Here the objective is to find the words in a 6x5 array of letters. The words are spelled out for Level 1 & 2, and depicted with a picture in Level 3. The game would have been a great way to learn the letters, since the alphabet is a finite set. If the kid knows the letters, there is only a small set of words -- about 50 -- that she can learn to spell from this game. Very good for 4-yr olds when they are learning the letters. Not of any significant educational value to a 6-yr old. It could have been a lot more educational for a 6-yr old if the game had built in an extensive dictionary so that the words are different every time they play the game.
- Cosmic crossing: It does force kids to think ahead about how they would get from point A to point B. But many of the layouts are far too simple to challenge a 6-yr old. After the first run through the games, she knows exactly what she needs to do for the courses. Without randomizing the layout, this game is a simple repetition just for fun.
- Critter river: Same comment as Cosmic crossing. Once she has built the patterns, it is just a repetition every time.
I would recommend this game for 4-6 yr olds, keeping in mind that for a 6-yr old it is 90% fun and 10% educational. From an educational perspective, my guess is that it would have been appropriate when my daughter was 4-5. The age rating of 5-8 on the title is definitely far too generous. Recommended for younger kids.
The best Leapster game to start with!Mar 25, 2010
My son just turned three and he LOVES this game. He can do it all by himself, which makes him feel like a big kid. The cartridge comes with several games, all a lot of fun for his age group. Each game has three levels, for beginners, kids who are starting to master each activity, and kiddos who need a challenge. His favorite is the monster builder. It starts with a picture of a monster to memorize. When you press the electrode (my son's new favorite word!) the monster comes apart, and you have to rebuild it. It's great for memorization, and there's a hint button if you need to take one more peek at the monster. There's also a bridge building game, where you have to build a bridge using different-shaped pieces to get your creature from one end to the other, a space ship game to master the arrow keys, and a construction game that teaches basic math.
The only drawback to this game (and it's not much of one!) is that it's sometimes hard to use the stylus. With the monster builder especially, there are several pieces sometimes directly on top of each other, and you need to select a piece, drag it to where it goes, then lift up on the pen. If you click a little to the side or lift up slightly, you lose your piece. It frustrated my son a bit at first, but it's all part of the learning process.
Overall, we love this game in our house and I couldn't recommend it more!
A leapster winerMar 23, 2010
Good for the older non reader. My daughter has down syndrome and cannot read but loves puzzles and computer games. As she gets older (13) I find it difficult to find games interesting enough (not too babyish) that she can do as a non reader. This was a winner!!
One of the best!Mar 03, 2010
This is definitely one of my girls favorite games. I have a 3 and a 5 year old daughters. I would say their most played games are this, Kindergarten, Letters on the Loose, and Pet Pals. We also have a Diego, a Princess, a Nemo, and an I Spy game that get occassional play.
I would have to disagree with the person who does not think this game is educational! It tests math skills, memory skills, problem solving! I think it is a wonderful game, fun AND educational!
huge hit, more so than character gamesFeb 12, 2010
We have 6 leapster games and this one is second only to Puppy Pals. I am really impressed with the games on this cartridge. I know it has helped with word recognition for my kindergartner. Even my 3 & 1/2 year old can play this game; but the levels get hard enough I know that my older child will not get bored with the games.
