Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Scholastic Get Puzzled
Customer Review: Wonderful games beloved by our son
Summary: 5 Stars
Our not quite 3 year-old son loves this cartridge. He has been introduced to 10 Leapster cartridges so far, and his favorites are Letters on the Loose and Get Puzzled.
Get Puzzled's monster baker game is like putting together Mr. Potato head like figures of monsters, and when all the parts in the right places, the monster animates (different monsters have different animations), and the Leapster says "It's alive!" or "That's monsterous!" Our son says that right along with the Leapster with a big grin on his face, and then he often play-acts the same movements as the animation. That's how much he enjoys it.
Another excellent game on this cartridge is Sky High. In this game you see a block that is for example 6 units tall, and you have to choose 2 other blocks that together add up to 6 untis. Our son is too young to know addition, but the Hint button says "4 + 2 = 6" and he can then locate a block with a 4 on it and another block with a 2 on it. So it reinforces number recognition in a young child, and addition for an older child. And since he loves building blocks, he can relate to that too.
Critter Crossing is a bit more challenging in our opinion, since it involves placing different pieces of a bridge in such a way that they reach all the way accross the river. So it reinforces problem solving skills.
Customer Review: Best Leapster Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is hands down the best Leapster game. We have about 12 or so of them.
Our 6 yo has plowed through all of the puzzles, but still enjoys going back.
Our soon to be 3 yo twin girls fell in love with this recently. I am buying a second one because they both want to play it so much.
There is a really nice range to the complexity of the games. Monster Maker (and the easier critter crossings) can be handled by The Girls. The Boy can still get some challenge from the advanced puzzles though. That gives them *years* with this thing to stretch their brain.
The LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Video: The Letter Factory game is equally educational but *incredibly annoying* with the relentless singing. "Get Puzzled" is more educational and actually semi-interesting for a non-kid (at least a geeky non-kid) because the puzzles are non-trivial.
Just a great game. Every kid would benefit from these logic puzzles. Almost makes me forgive Leap Frog for taking "Shape Shop" off of their latest edition of the leapster. Grrr...
Customer Review: Great even for the little ones!

I have a toddler who will be three at the end of the year. She's pretty fast at picking up games and out-grew her LittleLeaps DVD game sets early this year. So I bought her the Leapster when I saw it on sale for 30 bucks a few months ago. It came with two games pre-loaded; the coloring/drawing game and the Bunny game where he has to cross the river by jumping logs. At first she just liked seeing what happened when the bunny jumped into the water... so she lost interest in it and only colored with the other game. So last week I bought this game, which is geared for K-2nd grade and she LOVES it!! Because there are so many different games and each game has simple levels she's able to play level 1 on most of them and especially loves the monster game and About Face which she has no problem following the simple instructions. I know the math and advanced levels of the word games are beyond her at this point, but she still likes to get the "sticks" to be the same hight, or click on the letters in the word find box... It's great that she has something that will grow with her now!Customer Review: Most loved game

This is the fifth game my four year old son received for his Leapster. Puzzled is all he has played for the last month and he LOVES it. I think the games were a bit of a challenge to him at first since he's only four but now he's up to level 3 in many of the games. There are six games in all on this cartridge and he enjoys every single one. Every kid is different, so you never truly know what will be a hit with your child. He also has Cars, Nemo, Pet Pals and WallE. This one has been his favorite by a long shot, followed by Pet Pals.Customer Review: Leapster "Get Puzled!"

My almost 3-year old son got a Leapster2 with several games for Christmas. I figured he'd be all about the Cars or Diego games, but this one actually turned out to be his favorite an he plays with it most of the time.
There are so many different games to choose from on this cartridge, and his favorites are the bridge building and putting monsters back together.
I only wish I had the option to connect this cartridge to the computer and track my son's progress like I can do with games that are Leapster2 compatible.
