This review is from: LeapFrog Leapster2 Learning Game System (Toy)
We have a new leapster 2 for my four year old who is really loving it. But we had only been using it a few hours and when we turned it off for lunch ( 15mins!) the screen was completely unresponsive when we tried to switch it back on just like the reviewer below. I remember reading this review before purchase and got the manual out and recalibrated the screen and it is working for now. Not impressed though. It is not something a child can do and it is a toy that you want them to pick up and be free to use without an adult having to "fix" it every time.
News flash !!!....as an update... i finally gave in and took it back to ELC. Got another from Toys r us and it works perfectly. It is a good game for a four year old in the car and when working properly as this one is can be fun. The star wars clone wars game is good for basic maths for 5-6 year old but with lots of fun and blasting too.

This review is from: LeapFrog Leapster2 Learning Game System (Toy)
I bought this for my son's 6th birthday. He loves it and it is educational but also so much fun. However, I find that ever other time he turns it on the touch screen stops working, requiring me to recalibrate it. OK, so this only takes a minute, but is frustrating for him and me. More annoyingly, the online connection facility that it boasts does not seem to be working for me. I've followed all Leapfrogs instructions to the letter, but my son's rewards and saved pictures are not appearing on his profile's home page. I am currently in contact with their support team about this, so I'll hopefully get it sorted soon?!
Having said all this, he does love it and would be on it all the time if I didn't stop him! OK, time for an update. Leapfrog support helped to get the SD card formatted. The calibration problem just seemed to sort itself! I hasn't needed recalibrating for weeks now. And the Leapfrog Connect online is now up and running. Yipee! We are all happy now. Great learning toy.

I bought this for my son and daughter for Christmas. When it arrived I had a little play on it myself and got it all set up so they can use it straight away on Christmas Day. I think it is so great that I have just ordered another one in pink as I know they will want one each! Games are pricey but if you shop around you can find some good bargains. Remember that you don't have to buy brand new games, I have bought a couple off Ebay and they work fine at a fraction of the price of new ones. This toy will be great to take on holiday and in the car. Would recommend buying the case too, so the screen does not get scrached.
