The Worst Leapster Explorer Game We Own,
My four year old has nearly all of the leapster games for his age range and this one is the first one I have been truly disappointed in. The game involves searching for puzzles and clues by tapping on areas of a picture. Some of the clues are quite difficult for my son to find (or maybe the area you need to tap is too specific/small). Some of the little games are a bit difficult for him as well, so I would recommend waiting on this game if you are thinking of purchasing it for a 4 year old. I would guess it is better suited for 5-7 year olds.
Either way, the overall design and polish of this game just isn’t as good as other leapster games we own. I wouldn’t recommend it to others but did give it two stars since my son seems to enjoy it (with some help). If you are just starting your leapster library or only plan on having a few games, skip this one and go with Penguins of Madagascar or Mr. Pencil instead.

|My 3 year old loves this game,
I have a 3 year old boy, and we bought him this scooby-doo game for the leapster explorer he got for christmas, after playing this for a little while he soon started telling me all sorts of things about all the different food groups!
I give this game an overall 4 stars
UP SIDE– my little guy has had alot of fun playing this game, he beat just over 4 of the levels then littler brother accidentally deleted them, but he started right over again at the beginning just as excited as he was the first time he started
DOWN SIDE– compared to some of the other games avaliable this one is a bit slower, more puzzle style no actual moving or live action, and some of the puzzles are kinda of hard to find, so ya he does have to ask for my help from time to time, but as for the puzzles being hard, once we sat down and walked through how to do them togther he could do most all of them on his own after that.
we cant really expect children at this age to learn everything with out a little help from us first!

|Terrible,
We are very disappointed in this game. Our 4 year old son has many of the other Leapster games and can play them independently. He loves Scooby Doo, but this game is way too hard for him. Even my 7 year old, who is very bright, has some difficulty with the puzzles. And forget finding the clues for the puzzles…even when you get a hint, it still takes us a long time to actually touch the exact right spot. The characters hardly move. After the graphics and ease in some of the other games, this one seems like it was thrown together way too quickly. Don’t waste your money. Try the Penguins of Madagascar or Mr. Pencil instead.
