Customer Reviews

4 Year old loves the puzzles...she's learning without realizing it!
The puzzles presented in this are so much fun for my 4 year old, and she's learning math without having to do the standard "flash card" type exercises! She plays this for hours and is committed to making it to the next level on each game. It's a nice change from the character-oriented games she's used to playing. I highly recommend this game!

Great teaching tool--needs a bit more variety in problems
This is by far the favorite of the four leapster games my boys received for Christmas--the others being Dora's pinata party (it came with the leapster and I can't really get them to play it simply because it's "Dora"), I Spy (the games just don't keep their interest for some reason, though I think it's a pretty good cartridge), and kindergarten (far too easy for my kindergartener and really even for my four-year-old.) Anyway, they've loved this one and have played every game repeatedly. My 6 year-old maxed it out and earned all of his "puzzle power" stars in about a week, but he decided to start again. I like the different difficulty levels available and the fact that the problems on each level become progressively harder. I do wish, though, that the games weren't the same each time you played the same one at the same level. Even though you have to complete 15-20 problems to finish a level, once kids have done that two or three times with the same 15-20 problems, the challenge is lost.
As a former math teacher, though I do like this cartridge, especially the "sky-high" where they have to practice addition by putting together beams to make pillars of matching sizes.
The monster game is also great in teaching memory, and the about face for logic.
And, my boys' favorite is the "cosmic crossing" game where they have to get the rocket home to earth, jumping from asteroid to asteroid, riding commits, and sliding through worm holes.

Wonderful buy
