Editorial Review |
|
Oh no! What’s a superhero to do? Spiderman’s city has been taken over by diabolical misspelling miscreants and the streets are bedlam! It’s up to Spiderman (and his 6- to 7-year-old friends) to unscramble the signs and restore order. This Leapster game (for use with Leapster and Leapster L-Max learning systems) teaches more than 45 skills in spelling, grammar, phonics, and reading fluency. With the handheld, players read along with an e-comic book to help Spidey expose villains, make sense of counterfeit signs, and build words to crack codes. Plug the Leapster L-Max handheld into the TV for even more educational games, including Goblin’s Challenge. Leapster fans will love the excitement and intrigue of joining forces with their favorite superhero to vanquish the Sinister Speller…and parents will be thrilled at the undercover learning going on! --Emilie Coulter |

Leapster cartridge -- Spider-Man |
|
My son just loves this Leapster cartridge -- and it is really helping his spelling skills! |

6 year old boy loves it! |
|
I got this game for my son who just completed kindergarten, and begged for it. I thought it was a bit beyond him, as he just learned to read and write this past school year, but he is rapidly learning to recognize and differentiate correct from incorrect words, and he LOVES it. I guess the lure of Spiderman makes even spelling fun, reading the same story over and over. |

Good for readers! Grade 1 or higher |
|
This game is good for kids who can read already. It teaches them to really look at the words and figure out which word is spelled incorrectly or is the incorrect one in the sentence. The game voice will say the sentence the way it should be. Then the child has to read the sentence again to determine which word is incorrect. When he/she clicks on the incorrrect word, it changes to the correct one. The cartridge IS VERY good. After going through the story to correct all the incorrect words, you get a key to unlock some games. I gave it three stars because the pen sensitivity on this game doesn't seem very good (although our Leapster is getting old -- it is a first generation Leapster). But then the other games seem OK with the pen. |

A Big Disappointment |
|
My son and I had great expectations for this game; our expectations quickly turned in to disappointment. This "game" is really hard to call a game. It's more like one long reading exercise. Unlike many of the other L-Max games, wherein you learn the modules through interactive play, with this one you have to read and read and read the same story over again. Once you complete the story, you can then go to another area to "unlock" the game. Then in order to play the "game" you have to read some more. This is not the type of game where you can standby and provide guidance when needed, I found myself reading page, after page, after page, just to figure out for myself the objective of the "game" and then try to explain it to my son. I felt the money I paid for this game was a waste, no wonder when I went to purchase it, it was the only one in stock. Buyers beware! |

And then THUD! |
|
This "game" is so disappointing. My nephew loves Spiderman. He needs fun and subtle cues to stay engaged. He was so excited to get this his first LMAX cartridge we could barely get the box open fast enough. We popped it in and had to wait until the commercials or very long intro completed. Then we had to blindly navigate through the screens to get to games. They were NOT intuitive and then THUD. He lost interest and has not returned to the LMax since. What an absolute waste of money. |
