(More customer reviews)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 questions - dragging shapes into a box w/ your finger or the pen - and rotating them to fit - which is pretty neat.
All in all, I think this is the best game leapster has so far. The levels are fun, the math/shapes lessons are great, the spy music is entertaining and not annoying (for me), and your child will be using the d-pad, his finger, the pen etc. and I think it's great for their coordination.
