User Submitted LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System - Green Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-08-21 Won't work anymore I am now on my second leapster and it is not working either. The first one lasted all of two weeks then suddenly will not turn back on. Their customer service tells you to clean the battery compartment if that doesn't work then you have mishandled the game. Well I know it was not been mishandled because it literally was played with then put up on a shelf. The first one Amazon was very great about exchanging it for a new one. Now this one lasted one play time and now will not turn back on. It is now past the 30 day return time for Amazon. Doesn't really matter because I will not be messing with another one again. Date: 2008-08-17 great and solid This leapster is wonderfull. I got it for my son last christmas, he was 3 y.o than. He loves it and I do to because he gets to work on academic stuff such as hand writing while playng. The other amazing thing about this toy is that it is durable. I don't know how many times this toy fell and it is still perfect and looking brand new. Date: 2008-08-04 Better than a Game Boy want better games! This was challenging enough to intrigue my children when we bought it for Christmas 2007. They were five and six, now they are six and seven. We bought the rechargeable battery pack, and a three extra games. The games are lacking a little in the entertainment dept. While very educational, they lack pizzazz. For instance, the cars driving game. My son and daughter enjoyed what they were learning. If the game had more driving challenges they would have been learning without realizing it. They like it way better than flashcards, but not enough to play the game without being interested in the subject matter. Same thing with the princess came and another math game. Also, I have not seen many, actually, any, new games on the market. Hope to see some, that I think will excite them, before christmas. Had I purchased this a year earlier, it would have been played with on a frequent basis. As a gift we got the pink leapster that hooks up to the T.V. I recommend that, if it is affordable, for easier family/friend interaction during game play. Date: 2008-08-01 Same bug problem Hi I have the same problem as the previous reviewer. My leapster was working fine all along for about 4 months then suddenly whenever we insert a game cartridge in, a question mark prompting for cartridge will appear. It seems that the leapster cannot recognise the presence of a cartridge. I have to knock the cartridge real hard into the leapster each time for it to work. Also, it would freeze at times, or just go off on its own halfway through the game. I thought initially it may be due to too much playing or handling on my kids' part, now it seems that is not the case, since others also encountered this problem. I am considering buying the new leapster2 and hope that it will not have such problems again. Date: 2008-07-25 Great educational toy w/some annoying bugs Yes, the Leapster is swell, all the games are wonderful, and my 2 and 4 year old have spent countless hours playing with it and all the games. But I have had recurring bugs with the system that have cropped up through four Leapsters, all bought new: 1) The dreaded "question mark" when a game is inserted. Every single game we put in, even brand spanking new from the box, into a brand new Leapster, has the annoying "beepbeep" chime and the question mark. The only way to get it to work is to take the game out, blow on the innards (to remove crumbs/dust? I don't know) and stick the game back in. It's insane. 2) Turning off by itself 3) Freezing up 5) Sort of half freezing up, with weird "bubbles" noises, then freezing up after that. This is with all four Leapsters, brand new batteries, brand new games. It appears to be systemic, at least with us. I've purchased replacement Leapsters for both children, yet the problems persist. Next time they get so bad a replacement is in order, I'll try L-Max or Leapster 2 and keep my fingers crossed.
