Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Wolverine
Customer Review: Wolverine and the X-Men for Leapster, Leapster 2
Summary: 3 Stars
WARNING: If your family & lifestyle are conservative, then this game is not for your children. It does show a bit of cleavage, but it does NOT zoom in on just the cleavage as one reviewer exaggerated. Is it inappropriate? That will depend as I stated earlier, if you're conservative or not. I will say it's not appropriate for a class room type of setting (wouldn't want to get any teachers in trouble).
I found & bought this game yesterday evening at our local Wal-mart for $5 (it was on clearance). There were 2 left & I grabbed 1 of them hoping it would be a good one. My son has about 20 Leapster games so far & we continue adding to his collection. We both love the Leapfrog brand items...they're the best. My son has learned so much through the Leapfrog products...they're very educational.
I took a risk by buying this game, but sometimes you can't go by what others' opinions are. Sometimes you need to find things out on your own. So I opened & tested this game first (before my son had a chance to play it). I wanted to see firsthand how inappropriate it was and to find out if it was educational enough & entertaining enough for my son. I personally, didn't find it inappropriate for my 6 yr. old son (who's very bright & inquisitive) because he's been well aware of what cleavage are and that they're used to breast feed babies. He showed curiosity in cleavage when he was about 3, 4 yrs. old. While it was rather awkward for me to answer his questions, who best to explain this to him than his own mother? I rather him know & hear the truth from me than from someone else. Kids will be inquisitive & ask questions...it's human nature,nothing out of the ordinary. I understand everyone has their own way of raising children & I respect that. However, I still feel two reviewers in particular exaggerated & blew this out of proportion. This is not a perverted type of game. It's a game from Leapfrog for crying out loud! Leapfrog hasn't made any products for children that are inappropriate.
I feel this game is pretty educational & fun. It teaches children geometry (the narrator tells you facts about the shape you're tracing), geography & map skills (again tells you facts & bits of information on the place your child has selected), phonics & letter sounds, and number sequencing & patterns. My son likes this game so far & he hasn't even once mentioned anything at all about the cleavage or the female character. This game has kept his attention & you can tell he's learning something new (map skills). He loves saving mutants, fellow X-Men & loves fighting the Sentinel robots. I rated it 3 stars, because it wouldn't let me put 3.5...overall it's a pretty good game.
I wanted to point out that the purpose & focus of this game is to teach children about geometry, etc. & not about cleavage. Please just keep that in mind. However, if you think it will bother you, then don't buy the game for your child(ren). By the way, I usually don't write reviews this long because I can't stand reviews long enough to be a novel.
