The game is great and my 4 year old son really enjoys the product. The games are educational, easy to learn, yet challenging levels are offered. It is a wonderful product.

This game for the Leapster and whole Leapster product, I highly recommend. As with all Leap Frog programs, the toys are set up to be educational and help the kids to learn. We just got back from a family vacation and all of my nieces and nephews wanted to play it as well. They all sat around the toy and worked together to solve each of the questions. My son just turned four and is learning so much from the game and the system. One of the best things for kids to learn from without knowing they are learning.

My 3-year old received this for her birthday and absolutely loves it. The instructions are verbal and doesn't require any reading skills yet. However, she has learned so much since she had this game. She is a Nemo enthusiast.

This Leapster book is just as good as the movie itself! And of course is a great learning tool. My 4 year old enjoys every bit of it and can't put it down. There is a lot to learn and undestand. The various levels are very challenging, and can interest a child for long time. Hint: Good when travelling long distances instead of switching on the DVD player in the car.

My 3 year old loves Nemo. This is his favorite by far. The book cartridges are perfect for the younger kids. The games are easy and entertaining for little ones. He loves the pop the bubble game. My 5 year old even likes this one, but he prefers a bit more of a challange.
Nice but could be better with more games, - Review written on December 31, 2005

If you've kept up with your kids in this age bracket and read to them a lot like us, we found this game to be very easy for our kid in the rated age bracket, with only a few games providing any challenge on her first try. For instance, asking what characters did what in the movie, that was simple, something she could have done at age 3, she loves the movie and has a good memory. After they do that once, what then? How can it get more complex? It can't. Poorly designed that module.

The story part is ok, but a re-hash of the movie plot just summarized. It defaults to reading to your child from what I could tell by playing it, and a lazy kid will not be pushed to learn. I would rather have it stay silent and then if they need help they could push a button. One thing it does do well is that the words are highlighted as they are read to them. You can go to a mode where you have to read and it won't do it for you, but its not the default. There are not a lot of games on it, for the price compared to PC software, we were a bit underwhelmed at the whole thing, but will try some older rated software for leapster. She does LOVE the leapster she got for Xmas (a few days ago) but she prefers the standard games that come with it to the Nemo ones.

I rate it a 3

Gave this to my 5 year old for Christmas along with the Leapster Learning System. He LOVES it and will play it all day. He loves the games as well as practicing his reading with the story. A real must have!

My 4YO son loves this cartridge. The children have a choice of reading the Nemo story or playing one of four games. My son does not really like the story, but it is cute. Admittedly it is difficult for an electronic toy to beat mom's reading!

The games are great. They all have multiple skill levels and are fun and challenging. I often have to force my son to let his Leapster "rest awhile". His favorite game is trying to find the fish in the deep dark ocean. On level 2 words are displayed and you have to find the fish by listening for where the word sound is the loudest. Unfortunately, there are a limited number of fish, but my kid hasn't noticed, he is happy every time he finds one. And, instead of sounding out the A like they do with the other letters, they say "Ay".

The Nemo cartridge also has a hide-n-seek game which teaches comprehension skills. Various Nemo characters and props appear in bubbles and the Leapster asks a question such as "Who helped Nemo escape from the tank?" and the child would need to select the "Gill" bubble. I haven't seen logic games like that on the other cartridge we have.

Overall, the characters are cute, the games are educational and my kid loves it. I'd give this more stars if that were possible!
Especially great for the Finding NEMO fan! - Review written on October 24, 2004

My kids, who are 5 1/2 and 3, play it every day. They love it!
It follows the movie story line well and uses the voices from the movie. My 3 year old loves to try and find Nemo.
The book features remind me of the Leap Pad books. It reads a story aloud and allows the child to point to a word to see what it says. Even within the book feature, your child can touch the screen to "explore."
There are also 4 games that can be played. My older one likes the games the best.
Well worth the $20.00.
