I have always been happy with Leap Frog products and the name alone would sell me on them. I will be more careful buying stuff now.

This is the worst game I have ever used. My 5 year old daughter can't manipulate the writing screen with the pen. It jumps all over the place and disappears. The graphics are horrible, sound is horrible. It came with a Dora cartridge that has basically different versions of 2 games...no variety and they have a time limit to play and it moves and she can't work the joystick and button at the same time. Since the letters continually move it is just frustrating for her and she can't get past one game whether she knows the answers or not. There is no learning curve at all for a beginning learner. Basically 3 strikes and your out and you have a limited time to get those 3 strikes. It doesn't teach anything.

Taking it back tomorrow.
