Customer Rating:      Summary: Wow what a brilliant toy! Comment: I have never written a review but had to for this item. I bought it based on the previous reviews for my daughter who is 2 and a half and she plays with it constantly. there are lots of different activities and although at times she struggles with the pens - with parental help she is solving lots of the puzzles and keeps coming back to it to play some more. we have not attached it yet to a computer but even on its own it is fab and so portable that it will be our number one toy for holidays. we also got the dora add on pack which again is brilliant although the puzzles are slighly harder than the standard pack. brilliant item love it!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Kept kids amused for hours Comment: I'm very glad I bought this from Amazon for my nephew, he's been fascinated by it and it keeps him busy on his own for a while, especially with the various cards I bought as extras, enabling the interaction to be kept varied. It's basically a clever way to educate a child while making it seem like a computer game!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Supurb product - well worth a buy Comment: This is an excellent learning toy. My little girl who has just turned 3 is thrilled with it, and though a lot of the sheets are a bit too advanced for her, there is sufficient mix to keep her occupied both now and in a year or two's time.
You basically get 40 activity sheets (actually 20, but they are double-sided) and you place the sheet in the "computer" as my little one calls it. You then have a series of activities to do, and stories to listen to. The first few sheets suit younger kids and the latter suit older kids, so there is plenty of longevity in this.
You can also download extra content over the internet, and connect it to a PC with the supplied USB cable, though we have yet to try this.
Finally, there are a series of add-ons, like Bob The Builder, Postman Pat etc, which can be bought separately, so this should keep your little one happy for ages.
Don't be put off by the one star somebody else gave this. If you get a duff version of ANY product and can't be bothered to get it replaced, why bother writing a review?
Very highly recommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: What a buy!!! Comment: I seen this on sale before christmas at a bargain price at £12.99, having purchased it 3 weeks before at tesco. I soon had ordered it and took the other back to tesco. I am so glad that I bought this at that price. It is well worth the money. My 3 yr old loves it - he is for ever playing it linked up 2 my laptop. This is one christmas pressie that he hasnt just tossed aside cos he got bored!!! I find it very educational and would recommend to all. A++++++++ and well done to V-TECH for producing such an en-lightening toy! :-)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Was a steal for £15 Comment: Bought it from Amazon during xmas time at a great bargain price. Haven't seen any issues so far apart from the batteries which ran out rather quickly as supplied ones were not alkaline. Its further more interactive when console is connected to computer. Only seen Wondertown games so far. Dora, Thomas, Bob the builder etc each game is available on additional £15 but may be worth having depending on your kid's interest. The toy itself is amazing. Usefulness, fun and education value may vary depending on what game cartridge has to offer.
