Product Description

From the Manufacturer

As Andy prepares to depart for college, Buzz, Woody and the rest of the loyal toys are troubled about their uncertain future. Toy Story 3 is a comical new adventure that lands the toys in a room full of untamed tots who can't wait to get their sticky little fingers on these "new" toys. It's pandemonium as they try to stay together to ensure "no toy gets left behind." Features expanded play for the Leapster2 system, so Leapster2 players can connect online for extra games, activities and rewards, and parents can get detailed learning progress reports through the online LeapFrog® Learning Path. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 7 years (grades K to 1). Works with Leapster and Leapster2 systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars My 5 year old is BORED after only a couple hours of play, August 20, 2010

My 5 year old son asked me last night to sell Toy Story 3 game for him cause its "SOOOO BORING, DAD". We purchased the game just 1 week ago...

I decided I would try to change his opinion - so after the kids were in bed last night I played the game myself to see if I could make suggestions on what he was doing wrong.

My observations:
1) There are 4 games - all 4 are VERY simplistic and boring.
2) The "reward" for doing well in those 4 games is to earn more toys "to play with". However, "playing with the toys" involves opening the toy box and clicking on them so they appear laying around in Andy's room - that's it - there will be no playing with the toys, apparently!
3) At 5 years old (entering Kindergarten next week) difficulty levels 1 and 2 (on all 4 games) are too easy for him, level 3 (which has addition facts like 5+3=?) is too hard - so he just guesses the answers. But I expect that even when he CAN answer those questions, the game will still be boring.

I have older kids so I know that Leapster isn't designed or capable of entertaining the kids like DS or PSP, but I think this particular game does a particularly bad job.

5.0 out of 5 stars An immediate hit, July 15, 2010

My five year old received this for his birthday. This has been his only Leapster game choice for a week now. However, today he did complain that he'd collected all the toys and does seem to be getting a little bored. This may happen with any of the games. I suggested he play a higher level and that seems to have renewed his interest. Although, he plays for less time and puts it away himself. Not necessarily a bad thing. There are four games to choose from.

Great game, my son who is five was able to play most of the game modes with no help. There are a few that he will be "growing" into. But that just gives the game more to play. The voices are even close enuff to where you cant tell the difference. My son loves this game and he's learning the whole time he plays. Great game.
