Editorial Review

Two favorites of the discerning 4- to 5-year-old crowd come together for an exciting educational adventure! Dora the Explorer and her friends leap into the Leapster learning game system to help their preschool and kindergarten cohorts master more than 45 skills in letters, numbers, critical thinking, patterns and logic, phonics, animals, and Spanish language. Five of the games can be played anywhere with a Leapster or Leapster L-Max handheld. Then plug the L-Max handheld into the TV for even more interactive learning. Players help Dora and Boots cross rivers and rescue animals by matching letters, words, and opposites, following letter and number patterns, and gathering important facts. The only clue young explorers might miss on their wildlife adventure is how much learning they’re accomplishing—it’ll feel just like fun to them! --Emilie Coulter

My 5 y.o. favorite game - Reviewed on 2008-05-08
* * * *

I really debated about this one b/c my 5 y.o. daughter is not really into Dora anymore, but I hoped my almost 3 y.o. would grow into it. Well, I've been pleasantly surprised. Out of the 3 games I purchased-Princess, Kindergarten, & Dora Wildlife Rescue this is her favorite. It holds her interest far longer than any of the other games. It sounds just like the videos and she even giggles along with it. It has several levels so she can go up as she masters one level. I have not personally played this one yet b/c she figured it out on her own before I could even read the manual. Love the Leapster!!

My daughter loves this. She is almost 4 and had gotten it for Christmas. She was not into video games before. We brought it along to an appointment where knew we would be waiting awhile and I showed her how to play some of the games and by the end of the visit - she loved it and always wants to play dora now. She's learning letters, numbers and shapes while she is playing. Each game has 3 levels of play.

I was initially uncertain that this would be suitable as my daughter was not quite there at the time of purchase. I couldn't have been more wrong. She loved it and got so much out of it. The fun and educational value are mind-blowing. I also bought the Princess cartridge but have found that although she LOVES the Disney Princesses, the games are too advanced for her. From my own point of view, I also found the Princess games rather dull. By contrast, this Dora one is brilliant on so many levels.

This game is big fun for an almost six year-old. I wasn't sure if he would like it because he is no longer an enthusiastic Dora the Explorer fan but the game is educational (a big selling point for me) and interesting enough to hold his attention for hours on end.
