Letterpillar
SCORE: 88
We had one of our wonderful readers email us an issue with older
Leapster games not playing on the Leapster 2. So we tried some of our
older games, and found they were not functioning properly on the
Leapster 2. So we emailed Leapfrog and they mailed us a replacement
cartridge. Letterpillar is one of those games that we had problems with.
I am happy to report that the replacement game works perfectly on the
Leapster 2.
Letterpillar has a clean look to it. The little caterpillar eats letters
teaching children how to recognize them. There are also spelling games
to help with word building. Letterpillar has various colors and can be
customized for girls or boys. There is a boy caterpillar and a girl
caterpillar. As letters are eaten they grow to a larger size.
The music in Letterpillar is pleasant enough, and the verbal
instructions work masterfully. I noticed that the verbal instructions
are age appropriate. I did not find any offensive words or language
while playing Letterpillar. I really like how this Leapster game teaches
children good lessons that help them in life.
Letterpillar has a lot of replay value to it. There are various
difficulty levels that allow this hand held video game to grow with the
children. At some age the kids will outgrow Letterpillar, but you will
get your moneys worth. Another cool thing about this Leapster game is it
allows for one or two players.
The true test of any learning video game is how easy are they to get
into. Letterpillar has a tutorial that assists kids in figuring out how
to play this game. I let children in the correct age range try
Letterpillar, and they were able to play. In fact not one of them needed
my assistance in getting to the games, and playing them. That is a real
testament to the verbal instructions in this game.
Letterpillar exhibits an intelligent design where wonderful lessons are
imparted. The main lessons in Letterpillar are Phonics, lowercase
letters, uppercase letters, and word building. Families can be assured
that their children will be safe while playing Letterpillar. It was my
pleasure to be able to play and review this Leapster learning video
game.
