Lets them learn at the same time as they are playing a game. They can win awards and make great achivements. My daughter is always trying to out do her last score. The only downfall is that they keep coming out with newer and better things for leapster.  But the leapster 2 games will work with this leapster which is a plus when your trying to save money.  It's fun to bring this along on long trips. Instead of just watching a movie they can learn and keep there imagination going.</p>...

Instead, we got him hooked on the Leapster. He feels like he's playing a gameboy, but it's a great learning tool. He already knows a lot of math at 4. It is great for entertaining him during long car rides, and it's small enough to carry around.</p>...

At first, i didnt think he would like it due to he plays with action figures all the time. I found him a neat Wall E game, cause he likes Wall E and turns out he loves this game. I cant keep him off of it and his reading has improved. But leapster also teaches math, as well as has regular painting games on it,so its a fun for all for kids!</p>...

The device is powered by batteries (which can get pricey and can lead to problems when the batteries run out in the middle of a trip) and has several buttons for the power, moving up, down, right, left, and menu buttons.</p>&#13; <p>We have a few games to go with the Leapster gaming system. We have a drawing program, a Kindergarten program, a "Cars" program. Although they all help reinforce educational skills, some are much better than others. The Kindergarten program, for example, is teaching my son basic subtraction skills already.</p>&#13; <p>The Leapster gaming device is beloved by my 5 year old. He can play them for 15+ minutes at a time (which is perfect because it is not too much, not too little). The games are educational and fun. The device is not terribly expensive and has proven to be very durable in spite of several droppings. Great product!</p>...

It is not very durable, I do not know what happened but the screen went out, all of the lighting is not working and I am very dissapointed honestly. I expected it to be more durable then this. I did not expect that it would break only 3 weeks after having it. I have trusted Leapfrog for quality and durability, we have not had any problem with their toys until this. I tried to see if any one else has had a problem with the picture on different websites and found nothing about this happening. So I am not sure. I will be contacting them but I am extremely dissatisfied and frustrated. I was planning on buying a secound one for my older son but I am now really starting to rethink it. This does not seem as durable as it should be for a young child especially if they are targetting young children. We have the stationary leapster and I thought my son would enjoy one he could take with him. I am very dissappointed with the durability...</p>...

It was a little pricey but thats the way it goes nothing is cheap. I also like that the games where creative and my children recognized most of the characters along with the sounds. The additional games could be a lot better priced but they also can be caught on sale.... Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:15:04 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Leapster-Learning-System-review-e685 mag045 5
