Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game System - Pink
Customer Review: Awesome game system!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 7 year old for christmas and she can't put it down...she got so many other toys for christmas and this is the one that she hasn't put down since she opened it...she is one that doesn't have a very long attention span and this has kept her attention for at least 45 minutes so far..that for her is tremendous!! The games are just so educational and fun at the same time, versus the gameboy, those games have no educational value to them whatsoever!! In reading the other comments I've heard complaints about the screen being to small but my kids havn't said a word about the screen, they see it just fine and I've played it as well and I see it just fine...it's really quite fun to play with!! I would recommend this to anyone!Customer Review: Great Except for the small screen
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm about to purchase a second leapster for my 3 year old daughter, as she's getting tired of sharing her 5 year old brother's leapster. I'm a bit disappointed that the screen size in this model is smaller than the older model. It's hard enough with the bigger screen for the kids to use the touch screen.
The leapster my son has is now about two years old and has taken quite a bit of abuse, and it's still working perfectly. The games for this system are great and I can really tell that my kids are learning something.
Personally, I think the recharging system is a waste. Why have a recharger that can only be used on the leapster? I picked up a generic battery charger and some rechargeable AA batteries.
Customer Review: Nice design, but too small!
Summary: 4 Stars
The new pink/purple leapster has a nicer design than the old version. I like the new pen holder on the front. The arrow dial on the left side is better than the older (round)version, too. HOWEVER, we are exchanging it for the older version. The reason: THE SCREEN! The new leapster's screen measures only 5.4 cm - the old version screen measures 7 cm. Also, the pen on the new leapster is smaller. Customer service said everything on the new design is smaller "to accomodate smaller hands"...that's nice, but it also requires better fine motor skills - which smaller hands do not necessarily have. For those of you who purchase this and are considering the recharging kit - I was told that this design needs the L-max recharger.Customer Review: Old Leapster Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have both the old and new version of the leapster. My younger daughter no longer uses her new leapster because it was difficult to hear. So we purchased her an old leapster that we found at a store. The new leapster is cute, I must say, but the sound is much lower than in the old version. I spoke with a Leapfrog representative (fabulous custormer service) and after testing it while I waited, he confirmed that the sound decibal was significantly lower. However, since it met their standards it was not technically a defect. They informed me that the old version has not been in production for quite a while and no plans were in place to bring it back. Any old version you find for sale is all that is left.Customer Review: Great games, defective product
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second leapster I have purchased, the first one broke after 5 months. The games are great and my children love them...just like the commercials state...but the product has a defect in the on/off button. Every other review I have read has this same issue, come on Leap Frog you should send out a recall on this and then make the new ones more durable, so after the 90 day warrenty expires our kids still have their game. So I had 7 games and no leapster to play them on, so I had to spend another $60.00 to make sure I got the use out of the game cartridges. So be cautious, the games are great and the kids love them, but you may be buying several of them if Leap Frog doesn't fix the problem.
