 Good game system-if we could it to turn on! September 23, 2008

This is a great game system, the games are fun and the kids love it. But it is so frustrating because we get it all plugged in and it will not turn on. It takes forever to get it on and sometimes we can't get it on at all.
 JUNK! September 5, 2008

The graphics are horrible- my expectations weren't high, but my daughter couldn't even tell what the pictures were supposed to be (and neither could I!). She played with it for about an hour total over the course of a week, and then the system stopped turning on. What a waste- I had purchased 5 games with the system and spent well over $100...for nothing!!!!!
Daughter loves it; when it works.... August 9, 2008

My mom bought her one a year ago when they first came out. It lasted about 6 months then quit working. The on button would stay on, but no picture or anything. So we went a couple days ago and got her one of these newer ones with the microphone. It worked for one day, then the next day it wouldn't turn on. So I took it back and got her another one, thinking maybe it was just a faulty one. But this one is doing the same thing! When it works, she loves it; she's 5 and is starting kindergarten this year so I loved that it was teaching her things. I don't think i'll be getting another one. They are all faulty. I'm very disapointed. I will be looking for something else for her that will hopefully continue to work properly.
The video resolution kills the deal here. Try LeapFrog's ClickStart first. July 1, 2008

My 3 year old recently received this as a birthday gift. I was excited for him to try it out as we have already enjoyed LeapFrog's ClickStart (to a limited degree because my son still has trouble figuring out how to manipulate the mouse appropriately) and LeapFrog's Little Leaps computer/TV system (so easy to use!). It was simple to set up and get started. Just plug it in and go, go, go. But I had to turn the awful carnival music off right away. Then I found myself getting more and more irritated because of the 1980s type resolution. We were using this on a 2007 LCD 50 inch screen TV. I'm not sure if that affects how the game looks or not, so I thought I'd include that detail. After 20 minutes, I had to turn it off because it was giving me an awful headache. I grew up playing Intellivision, Atari and the like, plus played Sega and computer games later on. Screen media has never triggered such a reaction! So we made it about 20 minutes or so. What we learned in those 20 minutes? Using the Alphabet park program that comes with the unit, we learned the following: The Learning Adventures section was way above my child's experience level since he doesn't know how to use a joystick or a stylus. He also didn't get the whole Sonic the Hedgehog type jumping and pounding that every game in that area required. The Learning Zone area was more appealing since he knows all his colors, shapes, letters and numbers and is always eager to practice with those concepts. But the equipment got in the way of his play because he couldn't use it yet. So I did the controlling of the joystick and pen while he told me what to select. We did try the sing-a-long part but it seemed like the microphone didn't actually amplify his voice, or mine, so that was a waste, too.
I would have LOVED for this to work out. I was all set to buy the art studio. But it's going back. LeapFrog's ClickStart has much better resolution (a big plus for me) and it gives younger kids a chance to use the keyboard as standard equipment(yes, I know there's an attachment for this, too. If the video quality didn't trigger a headache for me we would have bought that, too). I think we will buy the LeapFrog cartridges we don't have with the money we get taking this back. Also, I second other reviewers about the difficulty in changing cartridges (which could be good or bad, depending on the kid).
 My daughter love her V-smile June 17, 2008

We purchased this for my daughter 2 years ago for x-mas... she was 3 1/2 then and didn't quite get it, but now she's a pro at it. We've had no problems with it... I know there's been complaints of it just stopping and not working, but we have seen none of that and would highly recommend it. She loves the games and will play without problems now. It just takes a little getting used to at first with what to do. I'm glad we got it and are now looking at getting the VSmile Pocket for her so she can take the games with her in the car. My son (2 1/2) will "play" with her and loves to watch her play too.
