Good concept but a pain to play
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.

this game is stupid
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.

Fun learning
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.

GREAT FUN!
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.

Terrible!
This is a terrible game for kids, my daughter is 5 years old and she is a basic reader but could not do even one word as the game is too fast even at level one. Also it takes too long to do a word and is a very slow way of learning words. Avoid!
