My son is 4.5 yrs, loved the Cars movie and now loves this Leapster game cartridge. I had to pry it away from him after 3 hours of playing on the day he got it. It is a wonderful learning tool for kids 4-6 who are working on letters, words, spelling, phonics and numbers. The games are really fun and exciting, the characters have authentic voices from the movie, and there are multiple games to play. I would give this game cartridge an A+, worth the 24.99 I payed for it. If you have a child who loves Cars, they will love this! I even enjoyed playing the tractor tipping game as I raced down the track as "L. McQueen" and watched in my rear view mirror to make sure "Frank" wasn't on my tail.
Another great cartridge is the Letters on the Loose.
Have fun and Ka Chow! |

| love it its a fun game and its actually not as easy and simple as a lot of leapster stuff...but like all the games it is fun but also it takes timing and patence which is makes this one educational to the kids out there it has its academic parts, numbers, shapes patterns ect. but also teaches a couple of valuable life skills such as presistane, timing, patence and finishing what is started....awsome all around game. i do recremend this to children and to the grown ups that still like to have fun happy gaming |
Money well spent!

| I bought this on a whim for my 3 1/2 year old son. He loves it and it entertains him for a good hour! He is advanced for his age, so I think the age suggestions are right on for this product. My almost 6 year old daughter also enjoys this game. There are several different levels, so it's challenging for both of them. On the lower levels, a simple knowledge of the ABC's is all that's required. On the higher levels, you'll need to complete words and know some spelling, etc There is a wonderful tutorial in this program that shows your child what to do at first, so he/she can practice before the first time! My son picked up which buttons to press rather quickly! |
Educational and fun

This cartridge kept my children's interest for quite a while. The funny thing is I never knew it included spelling games because they never played them. Guess they weren't interested in that part.
The games involve driving a car around -- the child gets to pick the course. Each course has different skills it works on. The setup is basically the same. The car must avoid road hazards while answering questions (by bumping the car with the correct answer, driving over the car with the answer or taking the turn in the road with the correct answer) to continue driving. The questions include things like filling in the missing number 1 _ 3 4 or filling in the missing letter to the word or which letter is the lower case "b" or answering which number is greater or less than another number.
There are two levels to choose from, so it can be played by kids from preschool through kindergarten. This game is a little too easy past kindergarten age but my son still enjoyed it in first grade. |
Big hit in my house!

| My kids had all but stopped playing the Leapster when my 4 year old got this Cars cartridge. Both he and my six year old love playing the driving game. They played it all the way to the mountains 2 hours away! It's a good choice for the Leapster. |
Leapster never lets us down!!

| From a Mom's point of view, this (and all of the other leapster games I've seen) are both educational and keep my 5 and 6 year olds content for quite awhile. I just need them to come out with some new games!!! |
