Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Disney Princess
Customer Review: Display of high scores
Summary: 2 Stars
My daughter loves this game as any mention of a princess will win her over.
There is one problem with this game and that is in the High Score area. It will leave the set amount of high scores in memory even if you delete/replace those player names on the intro screen. The problem is that if you have older children playing this game and racking up big scores, you may never give the younger child the chance to see her name on the display. Since this is a goal oriented game, this may mean you will have to buy another cartridge. Leap Frog said this is also on other game cartidges they produce. It seems that they should have a way to delete high scores so that if you want to hand the game down to other children, they will have as much fun getting their name on the scoreboard.
When i bought this game and played it, it was apparent this had been a return because it was already loaded with names and scores. I took my daughters leapster to the store and opened up enough games to find one that had not already been used.
In addition, this game is far less effective in the volume of learning skills than some of the other cartidges (ie. draw & write, Nemo, Dora).
It is a shame that the one cartidge every little girl is going to want, couldn't have been better thought out and with more content.
It gets two stars because my daughter would not let me give it a one.

When my daughter got the Leapster from her grandma for her birthday, I got her 3 game cartridges to play with and being absolutely in love with all the Disney Princesses, I really expected 2 things:
1. She would love the Disney Princess Leapster games and really learn from them.
2. The Leapster Disney Princess Game Cartridge would be a high quality learning tool.
Well, so far, neither is working out. My daughter still loves the princesses and she really loves her Leapster L-Max but the Disney Princess game cartridge has been a bust. The graphics are extremely poor quality and it does not translate well to the TV. The learning quality of the games is minimal at best. I am so disappointed especially since these cartridges cost almost $25.00 each. I purchased the Animal Adventure Cartridge at the same time and she can't put it down. Make no mistake. The Leapster L-Max is awesome and she loves it. It's the Disney Princess Cartridge that just doesn't make the grade.
I'm sorry I can't recommend the princesses but it really needs a lot of work to be worth it.
Customer Review: Fabulous game for girls!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game for my daughter's 5th birthday. She loves princesses, so this game was perfect for her. She loves all of the characters and learning activities that it comes with. I like that you can choose which level you want to play each game, so it can be played at many different learning stages. Right now she is just learning how to put letter sounds together to read simple words, but eventually when she can read more words she will be able to do the more difficult levels. This game really is so fun for girls and I love that she is actually learning something while she's playing instead of just staring at a screen or playing with something that isn't very stimulating. My 3-year-old daughter loves to play around with game on the Leapster too. She doesn't really know how to play the games yet, but she loves the princess characters and she is quite entertained by it as well. We have only had our Leapster for a few months, but it has been such a great learning tool and fun activity - I just wish we bought it and the Disney Princess game a long time ago! I would definitely recommend this game to anyone!!Customer Review: Hard to compete correctly but still good

I just bought the Leapster for my 5 y.o. daughter. I wanted something she could play with in the car that was educational. She took to it right away and has needed very little help from me. I bought 3 games-this one, Dora Wildlife Rescue, and Kindergarten. She begged me for this one, but it is very challenging. I tried myself to trace the letters and you have to get it right on. You can not stray from the line and you can not go too far or it has you do it again. It's very precise and frustrating even for me. Her favorite is the onboard games and Dora. She does keep trying though b/c it's Princess, it just doesn't hold her interest for very long. There are quite a few games on this one though, I think they are the same but have one for Cinderella and one for Ariel.Customer Review: a must

My daughter got this game when she was 4 and still loves it (she is 5 1/2). It teaches handwriting, math concepts, listening skills and it goes on for a long time unlike the other games that are over in 20 minutes. It also gets them to use their fine motor skills. I am a former teacher and I tell all my friends with girls this is the game to have. I have to disagree that this game is silly and noneducational. I think it is very appropriate for the 3 1/2 to 5 age range depending on your child. I think that once your child reaches kider they might be too advanced for it, but still love to play it.
Do all games have to prepare children for being rocket scientist? Can't kids be kids and just play with something that they enjoy? I give it a BIG thumbs up!
