Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not a good choice for kids with special needs
My son is 7 and is autistic. He loved the Leap Frog Text N Say, which looks like a BlackBerry. After I bought that toy, my son went from identifying 3 of 26 letters to identifying 23 of 26 letters. But he got bored with the "Bubble Letters" game on the Text N Say. I thought the Leapster Explorer would be the next step up.

The Alphabet Stew game is too hard for him AND my 5 year old daughter. My son is not dumb -- he can make it to level 14 on the Jewel Train game.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Returning it !!!
We recently purchased this device for our daughter. We were unable to review the device itself properly because the Connect Software was buggy and unable to initialize the system with any valid applications. Being a software engineer myself, and trying to get the system to communicate with a Macintosh or Windows computer was both frustrating and futile.

We have had no problem with the Connect Software for other Leapfrog products (Tag Junior, ClickStart, & MyPals). However, with the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Love this for the most part.
Bought this as a birthday gift for my 4 year old. She loves it. Recently took a vacation with over 16 hours in the car each way. Brought the normal car load of toys to keep her occupied but she only wanted to play with the leapster. We have several games and she was able to just start playing with no help. Occasionally she needs help getting past a small part but overall she was learning a lot.

I agree with other reviews that the leaplets cost too much for what you get and the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Difficulties, but great customer service
My 3 year old daughter LOVES this product, especially since her 3 older cousins have a similar version. We tried the Leapster 2 first, and it was great. We upgraded to this, and for some reason it won't work with our computers, therefore we cannot connect to online material or download leaplets. We have a Vista 64 operating system (which is well beyond minimum requirements) and figured it might be due to this? My husband works in Computer Science and he still can't figure it out.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bought it to hack it
So far I love it! A while back I bought a Didj at a super-sale price. The Didj was my first attempt at hacking a Linux based device, and through that experience I learned a lot of new things about embedded hardware and Linux. When I heard the Explorer was going to have a lot in common with the Didj - that it was based on an embedded Linux operating system and had the same processor- I stepped up and got an Explorer to play with. I'm happy to say that I've learned even more, having poked and prodded ... Read More
