We received this at christmas when our son was 12 months.  It was easy to set up as others have said, the "games" that come with it are not a full 30 minute game disk, but rather three individual 5 minute games for demonstration.  So before we could use it we had to go out and buy a game disk.

At that time he couldn't play the games.  You need to be able to follow instructions from the video.  The video mode was moderately entertaining for him, but he prefered curious buddies videos to this one.  So it basically sat on the shelf for 6 months.

Around 18 months we tried it again.  This time he was able to play the game with us and alot of prompting, but it still wasn't very entertaining to him.  Still it was moderately fun as long as were were able to play with him and "help" him.

Now at 22 months he is much better at playing the games and following the instructions to "press a button".  He does enjoy them alot more now and is able to follow the game without alot of prompting from us.

The controller is made very well and durable.  it takes alot of abuse in our house.  the disks are educational.  In my opinion, the age range should start more around 15 months.  I probably wouldn't have bought this for him, but he does enjoy it.
