Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent and Fun Comment: My 5 year old LOVES this. He's not a Batman fan but loves math (go figure). Once he mastered the basic controls and concepts with help from dad he did it on his own. It presents good game action with good guys and bad guys and presents math problems at different user-settable levels. The problems are addition, pattern matching and fill in the blank with the game designers doing an excellent job of making these interesting. I highly recommend this game/toy for those kids that like math. Customer Rating: Summary: Engaging fun for my 3+ year old!! Comment: This Batman game has me sold on the virtues of the Leapster. Shapes and slicing them in half, greater vs. less than, numbers with simple addition/subtraction, fine motor coordination, simple sheer fun! My son just likes me to watch him play the game on the couch. It's challenging for him with different levels of difficulty as he tries to battle and reach the arch-villain. It has helped him construct "good guy" and "bad guy" distinction. My son received the game with a Leapster L-Max for X-mas and will turn 4 on Apr 10, he's even beginning to read already, so whatever we're doing as concerned parents it's working! Definately a winner for this family. My daughter is 2.5 years old and we're going to get her a pink L-Max for her birthday with a Dora and Barbie/Princess game; but we're looking at perhaps the Thomas the Tank Engine or Cars game next for my son?? The reviews for them look good as well... Customer Rating: Summary: Fun, engaging, and educational. Comment: My boys just turned 5 and this Batman game is by far their favorite. They love the challenge of finding their way through the rooms, "stunning" the enemies, and finding the sparkling prizes.
It has been really helping with their fine motor skills, which is the real reason I wanted the Leapsters in the first place.
Although they need help with some of the math (greater than and less than mostly, a concept which they are still working on), they have surprised me that they can match all the shapes, do the simple addition, and figure out how to "cut" shapes geometrically in half.
My 7 year old daughter also enjoys playing this Batman game on her brothers' Leapsters. It's definitely not only for boys. Customer Rating: Summary: My son's favorite Comment: This is my son's most favorite Leapster game! We own six and he loves this one the best. I'm so glad we bought it. My son is 5 years old it has helped with double digit number recognition, counting by two's and a few other things. I love Batman-Strength in Numbers! Customer Rating: Summary: great educational tool Comment: My son sat in the back of the car yesterday counting all the way to 100 by two's...very impressive. When I asked if he learned to do that in school he said no - that he had learned to do it from his batman leapster game. Enough of a selling point for me!
