5 out of 5 stars Must Have!   January 8, 2009
Jaime L. Hoyman
Bought this game for my 5year old son for Christmas. He has had his leapster for a year now and we are always looking for new, fun, educational games to buy him. He absolutely LOVES this game! He giggles at all of the funny little noises and gets really excited to spell every word!


3 out of 5 stars Good concept but a pain to play   January 6, 2009
J. Price (Charleston, SC)
The game in itself is a good idea, but moving around on it is a different story. I tried to play it (and I do know how to spell) but getting it to move and turn was a pain. It was not one of my best purchases.


1 out of 5 stars this game is stupid   January 5, 2009
Rebecca R. F. Brown
There is a big problem with this game. the leapster 4-way button doesn't work well, and this game uses only the 4-way button. therefor, the game isn't "just like pac-man " because pac-man uses a joystick. my daughter gave up on this game after about 20 frustrating minutes, and then I tried it and couldn't get through the first screen. the guy just doen't move where you move him.


5 out of 5 stars Fun learning   March 1, 2008

I bought this game because my daughter has been discouraged with spelling. This was a perfect choice. She loves to play and is quickly gaining confidence in her spelling ability. It is the classic example of a fun and educational toy.


5 out of 5 stars GREAT FUN!   December 17, 2007

My (just turned) 4 y/o son has this game. Even though he doesn't konw how to spell well, he likes to move the cat around to avoid or eat the mice. He only knows how to spell sight words (car, cat, bat, nap, etc), and sometimes needs help with those. For some reason, he always choses level 4 - words like firefighter!

Even for non-spellers, this game is fun.
