LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game: Cars

My son has had this game for a year now and it is by far his favorite Leapster game. I enjoy playing it too. It has multiple levels, several different tracks and tons of learning packed in. You have so much fun playing you don't realize you are being educated at the same time!

My Five year old son got the Leapster for Christmas and he loves it. He has a few games, and his favorites are "Kindergarten", "Cars" and "Go Diego Go". He plays with Kindergarten the most, and then Cars. I have not been dissapointed one bit with my purchase.

My nephew loves it! I was impressed at how fast it came and how quick he was able to pick it up. He can't put it down and he is learning so much. My games were never this cool when I was his age.

I got this for my 4 year old grandson. Cars is one of his favorite movies and he instantly took to it. I recommend Leapster products for all young pre schoolers. My grandaughter was very advanced when she started school thanks to Leapster.

This cartridge allows the child to choose from one of several race tracks to "race" on. Unfortunately, the activities or goals of each track are very similar. You either steer left or right to choose a letter/number/symbol. More time is spent on speeding up to grab a coin, jumping over oncoming dangers, or speeding ahead. As such, the educational value is really limited, while the video game aspect is what might keep a child playing. There is really no depth and very little thought behind each track. My son was bored immediately. It reminded me of an old-fashioned video game from my youth (70s). Very very disappointing. We bought this cartridge with the Disney Princesses cartridge for my daughter, and there is no comparison. The Princesses cartridges allows one to use the pen as well as the arrow keys (with "Cars", only arrows), has memory games, practice drawing letters, recognizing words beginning with letters, and many more, varied, learning exercises, while at the same time using fun graphics, stories and songs. Don't waste your money and your child's time on this cartridge.
