VTech V.Smile TV Learning System Reviews

I love the v-smile. We have had it for like 2 years or so now. Here's what I loved about it: —… read full review »

Santa brought my 2 boys (4 &8) this system last Christmas (2006)...So after a year of frequent use and having the system in my 4 year old's room I can say that it is very durable and easy to use. The large buttons, controllers and game menus are very kid friendly. The games come in a variety of popular characters and different age appropriate levels. Games run about $19.99 a piece which is alot cheaper than Nintendo or Leapster games. The only flaw it has is the a/c plug in the back is touchy and if it gets bumped the power will turn off. I read about that in a review before I bought it and… read full review »

This was the smartest thing my Husband and Me could have invested in for our Daughter! — We bought it when she was 4 and now she is 5 and in the Kindergarten. She was not very interested in learning too much and we were very worried because she was facing school soon. We purchased it and immediately she was into it. She had no idea she was learning. She saw herself as a bigger kid in the house and having a video game like her bigger siblings she plays constantly. Through this system she knows all colors, number identification up to 100, she's adding, subtracting, matching things as well… read full review »

My son received this for his third birthday along with three games. He is always the one who asks to play the games and I can see how much he has learned since getting the game system. The only problem we have had with it is lately, after eight months, it is starting to be sensitive when it is plugged in. We have to play with the connections and remove the cartridge in order to get it to turn on instead of just plugging it in and turning it on. We will be buying a second controller for my daughter to play along side her brother in the near future.… read full review »

  I love the Vteck VSmile Game System!  Thats right game system. If you are a parent of a 2yr  to 8yr old boy or girl, then you need to get this product. Its a game system, like the Nintendo, Wii, or Xbox. This product offers fun and learning. It's great for kids to learn so many diffrent things at diffrent ages. It offers most of the charactors they love from tv programs they watch. There's no vilence of any kind and no bad language. Being a mother of a 3yr old boy, I knew this was a product that I wanted. I mean what kid doesn't like video games? Specially… read full review »

I love the IDEA of this toy.  My kids bugged me FOREVER to get them an X-box or Gamecube or something and I just didn't like the idea of my kids sitting on the sofa instead of playing outside...and most of the games have more violence than I want to let into my house.  Then I heard of the V.smile.  EVERY game is educational...but it still has characters that my older kids won't think are for babies.  I mean, the 6 year old boys don't want to play with Dora or Mickey Mouse all the time with the 2 year old sister - but there is stuff that they love as well. —… read full review »

I would like to give this system a good review...really I would.  My boys liked it and it seemed to be good fun and a little educational also.  However, we have had such bad experiences with the machine that I just can't give it high marks.  Our boys received our first one about two years ago for Christmas from a relative and the boys played with it for about 7 months on and off before it developed a "short" in the on/off button and would only turn on sometimes after you jiggled it a little.  Finally it refused to start all together.   After a few months without… read full review »

I don't want my children to be couch potatoes, so I had already planned a ban on video games for them for as long as possible.  A couple years ago, my mother bought the V-Smile for my children for Christmas because it is educational.  Knowing that I want my children to be familiar with technology and knowing that children learn visually, I thought that I would let them give this game a try.  They love it and so do I!!  The games are interesting and have  good graphics.  The characters are some of their favorites, and the activities are age appropriate.  I… read full review »

This review is of the Vsmile Pocket.  This toy is great! I really like how much both my boys (ages 7 and 4) enjoy it. It's great to take to Grandma's and them to play on the way and once there also. I like a portable educational game that can travel and plug in to a tv. Another neat feature is that it is made for left or right handed play. There is a small switch at the back that lets you flip the controls from the directional " plus" sign on left and enter on the right or vice versa. The games are reasonably priced. For instance at wal mart the games are all under $20 and some… read full review »

My son got this for his 4th birthday. At first I was concerned how well he would adapt to the controller, particularly the pen, but picked it up and just ran with it. It's great for little hands. The games have age ranges and they are both fun and educational. The ability to keep a 4 year old entertained for a few hours is an amazing feat in and of itself! I've had this system for 4 months now and it hasn't broken and I will admit it's taken a fall or two and is operated by a 4 year old. It is a little irritating that the power cord isn't included and it runs on batteries as is. A lot of… read full review »

This is a great gaming system with age appropriate skill levels.  It enables your child to learn math, letter and number recognition.  Its very easy to use with an oversized enter button.  There is a wide selection of games. Each smartridge includes four  to five additional learning zone games that focus on specific skills needed in school.  Characters include Dora, sponge Bob, Spider-Man, Thomas, Shrek, Elmo, Bratz, scooby Doo and many more.  It even comes with one to start you off.  You can even purchase a microphone so you can… read full review »
