LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Penguins of Madagascar

Risen to level of ‘favorite’.,
This game turned in to an instant hit with our son. He plays and likes all his games, but this one has risen to the level of “favorite” (one of them). I on the other hand was a bit disappointed. I think I expected more and better animation on this game. But it’s my son using, learning and playing with it, so I follow his lead for rating this game.
The game teaches: word building, animal facts, counting, addition, and subtraction. In the game the player plays the role of the Penguins team entering a competition in the Zoo. They are up against three other teams; King Julien’s team, The Monkeys, and another team I can’t remember right now (I will check it later). The aim is to win the Gold trophy (1st place). There are 5 different challenges to conquer in the competition. Each challenge teaches a different skill. At the beginning of each challenge the player can set the desired difficulty level (1, 2 or 3).
Once the competition start you have to go through all the 5 challenges to finish the competition. You win trophies by ending 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. There’s no trophy for 4th place. During the competition you can select a different level of difficulty at the beginning of each new challenge. After each challenge you are shown your position against the other three teams. The player gets the feeling of competing against other teams, so encouraging the player to do his/her best in a fun way.
The game has a “competition” mode and a “training” mode. In the training mode you can select anyone of the challenges separately to train your skills on that particular challenge. But in the competition mode you have to go through all the 5 challenges in succession till the end of the race.
Ps. This is NOT the same game as the Penguins game for the Explorer LeapFrog Leapster Explorer Learning Game: The Penguins of Madagascar: Operation Plushy Rescue which is also about the Penguins but a DIFFERENT game!
Thanks for reading.

|Great game!,
We purchased this as a birthday gift for our 6 year old granddaughter and it was a huge hit. Both she and her 4 year old brother have enjoyed it so much that we bought a second Leapster for another family birthday–along with additional games of course. It seems to have replaced their portable DVD player as their favorite travel entertainment. Definitely a fun game for this age group!
