My son is very interested in maps and geography, so naturally this was a perfect match for him. As soon as we downloaded the game my son became instantly engaged. The game play is great and educational value even better. As a parent I'm quite satisfied with this and all LeapFrog/Leapster games and products. Keep up the good work.
Bought this game for my 4 year old son and loves it!! He really likes playing the game and learned how all by himself. Him and his sister switch back and for sharing there new games. she has Mr. Pencil. Definitely a great game!
This leapster item is awesome!! the whole system just is a great value and learning tool that should help a child in progressing in areas they need help with and have fun doing it!!!
I was a little skeptical at first of this game due to the higher price versus other aps. However, both my 7 year old and 4 1/2 year old stay engaged in this game and always come back to it when finished with other games. It really has a lot more content and features then some of the other lower priced games.
My 5 yr old son is really into maps right now. He loves exploring on google maps. He not only loved exploring on this game; he learned so much from it as well. I just wish there was even more information on it.
I enjoy playing this game with my daughter the issue is that she can't quite play it herself. She is learning slowly how to fly the plane but it is a little hard for her, which is some thing I could over look and I figure she could will get with some practice but it does ask difficult questions. I enjoy playing it and she loves the mazes.
This game was really fun and entertaining for my son but it did not contain enough content. He did learn a few things about the continents and how to use a compass but he passed the whole game in an hour. My kid is 5 and I know he is smart but I doubt that's the reason he passed the game that quickly. It just seemed so short. It didn't contain much geography info as i thought it would... I think the Dora game had more to it than this.
I bought this game for my 5 y/o son for its educational value. He has tried playing it several times, but it is just a little to difficult and not engaging enough to keep him interested. He enjoys Dora as does my 3 y/o daughter who are learning some of the different cultural and geographical information. Of course not to the extent you get from this game. I have hopes they'll grow into this one.
I was hoping for a simple game that would teach geography to a 5 year old. This instead has lots of lead-in screens that are unnecessary and it takes too much flying around to actually learn anything. They really just overengineered the game imo. Also, too expensive. Would not buy again!
I normally rave about all of our LeapFrog cartridge games and apps. This one, however, doesn't cut it. The trailer for this game looks awesome and we were excited to buy it. Unfortunately, you spend most of the game flying around in the airplane going to various locations, which is very poorly programmed to boot (the controls are very slow and unresponsive for this part). The map quests and mini games have very little if any explanation about what you are doing or why. My son knows what directions are which now, but it doesn't explain why North is North. He thinks that East is to the right no matter what. As far as the "culture and people" aspect of the game, I believe it is laughable. For example, one of the quests is to pick what ingredients normally go on a cheeseburger. In another mini game, you drag a close up photo of maps of Canada, The USA, and Mexico onto a map of those countries. It does not at all remind the child which country is which or say out loud anything about each flag, it simply becomes a process of elimination for the child to guess which flag goes to which. There is no learning or explanation involved. I am disappointed I wasted my money on this game. I have found better free games in the app store for my phone. Super disappointed in LeapFrog for this game.
