My son sat in the back of the car yesterday counting all the way to 100 by two's...very impressive. When I asked if he learned to do that in school he said no - that he had learned to do it from his batman leapster game. Enough of a selling point for me!

This review is from: LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Batman (Toy)

My boys just turned 5 and this Batman game is by far their favorite. They love the challenge of finding their way through the rooms, "stunning" the enemies, and finding the sparkling prizes.

It has been really helping with their fine motor skills, which is the real reason I wanted the Leapsters in the first place.

Although they need help with some of the math (greater than and less than mostly, a concept which they are still working on), they have surprised me that they can match all the shapes, do the simple addition, and figure out how to "cut" shapes geometrically in half.

My 7 year old daughter also enjoys playing this Batman game on her brothers' Leapsters. It's definitely not only for boys.

I am entering this review primarily to warn parents that, despite the glowing reviews to the contrary, your children will not necessarily become math geniuses by playing this game. I was initially quite impressed with this game. We got two leapsters for our 5 and 6 year old boys. We bought starwars, batman and the kindergarten cartridges. On the day we gave them to the boys, we drove 5 hours to the beach. They played the whole way. Both fought over having the Batman game. Neither wanted the Kindergarten cartridge.

The next day, I played the Batman game with the 5 year old. He showed me how to move the man around, throw bomarangs and catch the bad guys. What he didn't show me, was how to answer any of the math problems. You don't really have to do any to play the game. Just ignore them and it turns into a low res video game with no educational value. We specifically did not get a DS to avoid this issue. Well, maybe eventually they will do some math problems/recognition stuff, but to date, no.

Just thought other parents should know this. Play the games with your kids to see what they are really doing.

I made them play the Kindergarten game. That one is more educational, but from what I could see, the problem solving was pretty low level, even for Kindergarten. Maybe my expectations were too high. I am now not sure we did the right thing by buying the leapsters, just so they could have the toy everyone else has. Definitely no DS.

Just finished reading Charlie and Chocolate Factory to the boys. They loved it, especially the ditty the ompaloompahs sing after the demise of Mike Teavee. If written today, I'm sure there would have been a character who played video games all the time.
