30683 Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Didj Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 7 year old son is in love with the Didj my dad got him, and he only had the Jetpack Heroes that was included. So, I decided to add to his repertoire. After all, I know the Leapster wasn't much without the cartridges and the included games weren't ever nearly as fun as the ones we bought.
I was a little concerned that the Star Wars game would have the same math concepts he worked on in Jetpack Heroes, but it is different. Instead of addition, subtraction, multiplication, my son gets to work on fractions, place value and geometry.
I tried it myself and there is enough math to keep my son thinking. He gets a to be a jedi with a light saber who goes around a maze of hallways killing bad guys and while trying to survive. He has to stop once in awhile and answer questions like which pie chart shows 1/10 colored in or what number in 693 is in the hundreds place or how many sides does a pentagon have.
For those worried about violence, it is cartoon violence against robots and there is no blood. I'd say it`s about as violent as Tom and Jerry, except the robots die (disappear). That may not be enough for some, but at least you know what you are getting into.
My son loved his Leapster, but he said he's not going back. Didj is much better. He likes being able to customize the game. I like being able to track his progress and help choose what concepts he's working on.

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Star Wars - Jedi Math Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 7 year old son loves Star Wars The Clone Wars, so I knew he would like this.
The best thing about the game is the questions get more difficult as the player advances within the chosen level. So, though it may start with single digit number recognition, it advances to double digit number recognition. It may start with asking about general time of day, but then advances to specific time of day and then to reading time on a digital clock.
I recommend this game for pre-K through second grade.
A more detailed description is presented below.

THE SHIP
To get through the rooms, answer questions about time.
