My son just turned 3 and has been playing on his leapster for a few months now. We have a few games and apps, but this is by far his/our favorite game. It's a fun AND funny game (gotta love those penguins) with age appropriate lessons in math in between the levels. I love the leapster b/c he can use his finger or the stylus pen (similar to my iphone - which he's always grabbing for). The math questions are simple and get increasingly difficult as you progress. He can do the easy ones himself...but as they get more difficult he needs my help. He can read and knows his numbers and simple math - so it's fun to sit down w/ him and figure out the problems. Sample math questions are:

-which is the largest group?
-which is the smallest group?
-which box has 4 wires in it?
-which box has more than 1 wire in it?
-drag 6 candies into Rico's bowl
-what number comes next in the sequences - 6, 7, _, 9

etc...

There are also shapes... Read more

Maybe I'm old school, but we have the leapster explorer because I consider it a preschool game system. I figured it was educational and a good choice for a really young child. I mean it says ages 4-7! I was really surprised on how much fighting was in this specific game. We don't have cable and so I'm not sure what the actual cartoon is like, but it seemed like a good option because it was about animals which my daughter loves. I was just so surprised that within a few seconds into playing it, her penguin was punching another animal. Then I watched as she hit/kicked other animals too. It really bothers me that a game geared towards such young children is like this. We have WII games for preschoolers and NONE of those have fighting in them. I'm just shocked that leapfrog would put something like this out for kids. Ugh.

Out of all of the games that we purchased and/or downloaded for my girls' Explorers, this one is definitely their favorite so far. It adjusts the math level nicely between the 1st grade for my older daughter and preschool for my younger one. From my observation so far they seem to be challenged nicely without getting frustrated and they stay interested in this game for quite a while. They are both fans of the Penguins of Madagascar TV show, though, so that may add to their experience while playing the game.
