Excellent Game
By silversnow
This is my son's most favorite game by far! I am a teacher and love the math concepts that are covered. My five (almost six) year old son loves Star Wars but the games for our Wii and Playstation are too violent for him. He can play this and feel as grown up as his big brother.

Yoda says, "Geometry, fractions and place value learn you must!"
By Jared Castle
Star Wars and math lessons: talk about a spoonful of sugar! Your child can learn (or refresh) their math skills while exploring the Star Wars universe in this LeapFrog cartridge game.

We purchased this game to complement the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet sent to us free as part of Amazon's Vine program. My son is a fan of Star Wars, so we chose this game not knowing the tablet would be pre-loaded with several other apps and interactive books.

The amount of math learning he gets out of this cartridge game is negligible. He starts second grade next week and already has a good handle on basic fractions. However, you won't find many kids his age complaining about reinforcing math lessons with a light saber.

I don't recommend this game if your child already owns a handheld gaming system like the Nintendo DS or the Sony PSP. The game play, graphics and sound on the LeapPad system are fine for children who haven't experienced the games available on those other systems. Unfortunately (or not), my sons have Nintendo DS game systems, so they regularly play Star Wars games like Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

In summary, this was a perfect end-of-summer purchase. We were already getting our sons ready for the new school year, so a Star Wars game that reinforced geometry, fractions and place value was a nice change of pace from the Nintendo DS and Xbox 360 games. The LeapFrog game is value priced, considering most handheld gaming titles run more than twice the cost.

Rating: Four stars.

Terrific learning game with lots of action
By LA
This was another game that I bought for my 6 year old (and my 5 year old loves to watch it); Skills are challenging and definitely enjoy when he asks me for help. Once you get them going on the concept they roll with it.
