great game! GREAT GRAPHICS! perfect for "go, diego go!" fans September 3, 2006 Reviewer:  wakeningdreamer "avery's mom" (sf bay, california)  See all my reviews >

my 4yr old son loves 'go diego go' (about an 'animal scientist' who lives in the rainforest), but all the related games have seemed disappointingly cheesey ~ this one, though, makes him feel like he =is= diego!

this sort of game is why i bought the leapster in the first place! the graphics are amazing ~ rather realistic & not cartoony. you start off picking a habitat (woodlands, rainforest, ocean, grasslands, or artic) & then have to 'win' 5 animals to fill it up by playing the 4 different games (maze munch - negotiate a maze to get food for your animal; feature finder - classify & sort animals by physical features; matchomatic - match the animal with it's feature (eyes, skin, food, etc); scratch & see - figure out which animal is hiding by scratching off as little of it's cover as possible) after you've gotten enough points, you take a quiz on that particular animal & then get to see it in it's habitat. also, "animal alert" happens periodically where an animal is in the wrong habitat & you have to find it. i wish there was more consistency in the animals (i.e. games for grassland animals focussed on animals that actually live in the grasslands) & maybe a bit more flexible formula but all in all a =great= game that's very educational & not patronizing. also, excellant integration of using both the stylus & arrow keys. like all leapster titles there are different levels of play.

without a doubt my favorite title thus far & i really hope they make more like these!

Fun but best for ages 4,5 January 14, 2007 Reviewer:  Homeschool Mom (Chicago IL)  See all my reviews >

My 6 year old got this game for Christmas, and although he enjoys playing it, I feel that the level is more suited to preschool-Kindergarten kids...Most of the activities consist of animal facts etc. that he has been aware of for quite some time...I try to purchase Leapster games that will educate & entertain my kids for awhile, and unfortunately, I think this one doesn't quite qualify. The graphics are nice and as I stated, he does ENJOY it, I just wish the age specified was younger...
