We got this toy for my son is three years old and it quickly became his favorite toy! At first I thought it back because of some questions which I will explain later, but decided to keep the toy after seeing how much fun my son has it.
What makes it great: This toy plugs easily into the TV (My son can do it) and it is ready to go. There are no cartridges, DVDs, etc. to keep track of ... Just dull. The toy has lots of games on it to keep the kids busy ... In fact, I do not think I even have seen them all yet! All games are active by letting the kids run or walk in place, jump, stomp right shape, toes, etc. Also it is very cheap compared to any other game options. Finally, my son being able to have their own active video games since our own Wii Fit, DDR, etc. are still too old for him.
Why I left almost there: The graphics on this toy is terrible on our 40-inch HD TV. It gives me a headache to stare at it long, but seems not to think about my son. Also, because the pillow is flat, step son by mistake on the shape buttons as you play. This often sends him back to the main menu ... It's pretty frustrating. We have been practicing staying on the sidewalk part of the carpet. My final point is that you can not specify a skill level of activity (to my knowledge anyway). There are math and spelling questions mixed with everything. (For example: how to spell Login or add the numbers together) I do not know many 3-6 year olds who could do this, but my son just jump over and over again until he finally gets the problem correct and the toy goes to the next activity. Again, do not bother my son, but it can be frustrating for a second child.
The conclusion: My son can not wait to wake up and play this game every morning, and at the price I am happy to say it was a bargain. It's really fun when you get past the issues and helps to burn some of my son's abundant energy! And goodness, love my 19 months old it too! She needs help if the game on the mat, but most of the time, she will stand next to my son and copy him jumping / running / whatever. We will definitely take advantage of this toy!
