Leappad Explorer Jake and The Neverland Pirates Game

My Daughter got this game along with the Leapster GS for her 5th birthday. She has only really played simple games on my phone and pc before having this but shes had no problems picking up how to play and has needed very little help from me.The game plays like an interactive version of the tv show which is great! I don't think its too short for the age group its aimed at and it seems to have a lot of replay value for them. I'd say this is a great starter game as an introduction to games consoles that is both fun and educational!

I was very much against computer games for children, considering it far better for them to play with real things, preferably outside, but I realise that the leappad does have something to offer even small children and this game is great. My son loves it. He is 4 and has a complete aversion to holding a pen, reading, writing, or anything remotely associated to learning. But with this game he is developing his hand eye coordination, following instructions, he is practising holding a pen and I consider it fantastic that there is something out there that can encourage and stimulate him without him even realising it! The game kept him busy on a rainy holiday and a long car journey.It's not cheap but it is a good game for small children.

Good pack for the leap from it basically consists of a pack of cards in a tin which you take a photo of as you go along to complete each game and level. They are quite good and pretty basic learning tools for your children to follow mine have been pretty happy with them spreading the cards out on the floor or sofa and happily playing along. Its nice because it teaches them some independence in using tech stuff and also decision making with the cards and making the right choices to go onto the next level. Its stuff like building a monster truck and finding the right parts to make it (If they have seen the blaze cartoons it helps there are also blaze books around you can find cheap if they have read them before its a big help for them)

I purchased this Dora Leap Pad game for my 6 year old son for a little over £5 from Amazon and felt it was really good value, especially considering that on Leap Frogs website they charge around £15-£20 for the game in app form. Specifically I got the game as I have been working to encourage my son to want to learn Spanish as I grew up myself speaking it. In the game you get calls from children around the world calling to ask Dora for help as Swiper has come to their country to steal an item of importance. The Map tells you how to get there - citing well known landmarks in that country. You then point out where these locations are on the map (much like how the tv show is done). Very much like the tv show in so many ways, avoiding obstacles down a river, answering questions to build things etc. If your child likes Dora they will love this game as it is so similar to the show. Also I am impressed with the locations chosen to learn about there is a great level of variety and shows just how different the world is in culture and in look, weather etc. Felt for a little over £5 it was excellent! My son is enjoying it and spontaneously told me about the river nile the other day - so he must be learning (but we'll keep that a secret!)

Bought this for my 4.5yr old. He absoultely loves it. A well thought-out and educational app/game. When scanned using the camera of the leap pad the charachters come to life on screen and ask the user to count the number of items required or find a specific card or number/shape to scan which makes them think about the correct answers and search for the right card in order to carry on.All that comes in the pack is a set of good quality cards in a nice tin and a sheet to organise the cards into categories. The game is downloaded using the unique code that comes on a scratch-card in the pack, so dont expect to have a physical cartridge (and dont give it as a gift to a toddler unless you have WiFi available straight away!). All-in-all, a tenner well spent as far as we're concerned. Arrived next day, also.

My just four year old received this game with his leappad. He hasn't played with it much since although seems to enjoy it when he does. It's good for second language English speakers as there is a lot of repetition of the name of the numbers. Beyond this I think your money is best spend elseA few criticisms and thoughtsThe gameplay is hugely repetitive. Especially the "follow the treasure map stage." Actually as my son speaks English as a second language it has been useful for him as he has to "find the blue butterflies". But the characters always say exactly same things and I suspect this gets quickly tedious even for a four year old. Unfortunately this stage is central to the game so you will be hearing a lot of it. This is one game I want to leave the room when he is playing as the soundtrack is so irritating.Other mini-games are a bit nicer. I think the lava path one is good. The map construction is also good although the controls are very fiddly and my son often thinks he has the answer wrong because he fails to exactly line up a map piece with the position into which it is supposed to be inserted.In all there are much better games available for the leap pad, although perhaps not so much that focuses on maths. Even here I am not convinced the game is really teaching that much although it has helped my son learn the names of the numbers in English (he knows them already in Portuguese). In all, I wouldn't pay more than 10 pounds for this; I think the dinosaur menu game for download might be a better introductory maths game and is much cheaper. But, I think if you find you must buy it because you want a maths game or your child loves Jake, then buy some headphones to go with it. It is painful to listen to.

My 4 year old loves these games.So hard to find them in Canada. Nice to see it for a decent price.

My granddaughter loved it.

My 5 year old has been using this game for not even a month and he can put sentences together! It’s such a great game! Lots of content and very easy for them to learn from!

This is a fantastic educational game that my 6 year old loves to play. It works great and she can literally play it for hours if I let her. It teaches her spelling, writing and reading using a fun ice sculpture building game that includes all of her favorite Frozen movie characters.
