Customer Reviews

Dora Leapster game
Being a huge fan of leapster, I wasn't as impressed with this cartridge as some of the others. My son loves Dora, so I was excited to pick this up but I found that it was too similar in content to the cartridge that comes with the leapster system. It contains much of the same content, just with dora instead of Tad in the background. I was hoping for something more original for the asking price.

More of the same
Our daughter recieved a Leapster for Christmas and has spent hours daily playing with it since. So of course we ran out and bought new games asap! Unfortunately, I don't think Dora was worth the 25 bucks. She likes to play it, and if your son or daughter loves Dora they will enjoy it too...however, I don't feel that there is that much difference between Dora and the original games it came with. There is a version of leapfrog (crossing the lake), and matching pairs (two versions on Dora), and none of the spelling or math options that are on the original game pack. I found the educational value of the game it came with to be much better. And shame on them for missing a good chance to introduce Spanish! Unless your child love Dora or is under the age of 5, this game is a little too elementary.

This is the best educational/game system out there. My husband and I can't keep our hands off of it! If your child loves Dora this couldn't be more perfect. It has several options to play along with different skill levels. One option follows the same format as the show but you really can "stop" swiper and solve the trolls riddles along with other tasks to help Dora and Boots complete their mission. It's a great size for the car or anywhere. Great graphics, backlit for night-time play, sound adjustment....they've thought of everything.
