Great educational game system for young kidsJan 20, 2009
By TienB
We purchased the black Star Wars bundle Leapster 2 from Target. The software loaded perfectly, the SD card worked even though I installed a 512mb instead of the recommended 256 or less, the games downloaded from Leapfrog's website easily.
I wonder how many of the issues others have had with the software are due to the increased Christmas holiday traffic on Leapfrog's Website? Not sure, but our Leapster 2 works perfectly. Either Leapfrog is working out and correcting the software bugs, or we got lucky with a good device. Either way, we are very pleased with the Leapster 2.
The games that you download are very simple and best suited for pre-k age kids (number recognition, shoot the number 8, etc...) The graphics are basic, not the super detailed graphics of other hand held gaming systems. However,totally acceptable for the younger child. The Leapster 2 is a nice balance between gaming and educational content for a young child. I think it definitely fits the advertised age range, 4-8, beyond that kids are looking for something 'cooler.'

 More disappointed than expectedFeb 01, 2010
By MOM of 3
The funny thing is, I bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas knowing that it was not going to last more than 6 months. I knew this not because of all the reviews that say this, but I was the proud owner of 2 other Leapsters which I bought for my now 7 year old twins when they were 4. Each of their Leapsters worked for approximately 6-9 months. They ate up batteries and would turn off randomly, but the kids still liked them and they seemed to be learning things from the games. I thought since I have all these games and I don't think a 4 year old needs DS, let's go for the Leapster again. After all, time has passed and it is called Leapster 2, so they had to have improved on it-right?! WRONG!!!!! This one didn't even get us into January. I bought the rechargeable battery pack to avoid the eating of batteries problem. The problem has been, it doesn't work with cartridges and only sometimes works to play the silly little coloring dragon games already installed on the machine. It restarts randomly and seems to only play a cartridge game when you cross your fingers, say the magic words, and blow on it (that always works with electronics, right?!). I cannot express how disappointed I am! My 4 year old has been so good about not getting the DS like his big brother and sister and was happy to have his Leapster, but IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. I am an educator and have always been a BIG FAN of the Leap Frog company. I keep coming back only to be disappointed. I bought all the leap pads as well and they never worked well either. I think Leap Frog has some great ideas and I love how they are educational and fun, but it's not all that fun or educational if it doesn't work!
Leapfrog is greatSep 13, 2011
By chrissy IN
Leapfrog makes some of the best games out there. Educational, but fun or quirky. 2 kids love them.
We own many Leapster systems. Of course after a while you get to experience sometimes problems with the pen and the contact with the screen, but in the end they will still work.
This specific Leapster was bought for DS. He loves Star Wars and the price for the cute design and the Star Wars game was still pretty good.
We were all impressed by the cool look. I will say though that this specific machine did not last as long as the other Leapster systems.
the sound went off (speakers wiring faulty, maybe?) and we got it replaced. Yet there was some sound variations. Although it still worked, we got tired of explaining to the kid why the system may fail again.
In the end, he plays that game with the other system. The game itself has kept him entertained.
 You MUST buy your own SD card...Mar 05, 2011
By Mom of 3 Camelbak Users
We own 3 Leapster 2 units (I have 3 kids). We own one that is the pink and purple style. We own one that is a Sponge Bob unit (sold in a gift pack) and then we own a Star Wars unit (also sold in a gift pack). Of the 3 units only 1 requires the owner to invest there own money in a SD card that must be inserted into the unit before you can download the free game. It is the Star Wars unit. You are already paying a PREMIUM to get the black unit that says Star Wars on it. There should be NO need to buy an additional card. For that reason alone I direct you to buy the Sponge Bob gift pack or one of the basic units. (I find my older kids are MUCH more likely to play and learn on the themed units than on the pink/purple or green/blue. They think the themed units are different and for "bigger kids", despite the fact they are identical technology.)
