any luck with this? were you able to unlock the games? i thought it was broken and was going to return it. will have my daughter try it again tonight now that we have new batteries for the leapster.

Actually it wasn't that bad... You just have to play through the Storybook once to unlock them. Then you can play all the games.

What does this game teach and what games are on it? What is the story about? thanks for any input in advance

Did it work? I hope so. I tried emailing Leapfrog and they just gave me a generic answer that didn't help. For anyone else needing help with this just click on the "Storybook" game and play through it all the way to the end. It unlocks all the other games. Hope I helped.Also, regarding batteries... I recommend the AC adapter for when you are home if you can use it. Leapfrog.com sells it for under $10.00. (Depends of course if your child will sit still to play it.) Take care!

Yes, I think most games for the leapsters use a stylus. This one uses it a lot, to trace letters and such.

I bought both the Explorer and LeapPad for my 3 and 5 year olds for Christmas. I bought a couple of game cartridges as well as app cards. How do you install the apps in both? I was told at TRU that you could only install an app on one device. Good to know that he was wrong.

I've been looking at the Vsmile and the Leapster with the stylus. Is this what you are comparing? I'm wondering if the graphics, game quality, etc. are equal, but I'm also wondering if the Leapster with stylus is easier to run for 3 year olds. The Leapster and its cartidges are more expensive, but the stylus on the Vsmile is used on a screen the is separate from the graphics screen. Do you know anything about these questions? I've only got so much money, and I'm concerned about making the "wrong" choice.Thanks!

Wonderful! Thank you! I did not want to pay for the same games (my girls have to have whatever the other does) so this is great news!

Here is an easy solution I found. If you want to play the pet game take out any game cartridges that are in the leappad. It seems like when there is a game in there, it has problems launching some apps. Hope this helps!

my 5 yr old has the L-Max and she can use the regular Leapster games on it without a problem. hope this helps.

I buy apps instead of cartridge so that we don't lose games, and so that both of my kids can play the same game at the same time on their own leappads. We have a few cartridges and they fight over them all the time. The apps are way better if you have up to 3 kids (you can have up to 3 leappads per account). You have to take up space on the console for the apps, but we have 25 apps on ours and aren't even using half the storage on it.

I thought my daughter broke a piece of cartridge off in her Lepaster2 but it turns out she didn't, every cartridge on the inside has a gap in the metal strip that fits inside the Leapster2 slot. So it looks something like this ___ _______ So if your's has a gap in it like the line I drew above, then you didn't break the cartridge.

I got this game system for my son when he was 4. He was not yet in school but getting ready for preschool. He loved it myself as well. I loved watching him learn new things and answer the questions he already knew. He had the leapster explorer and the leapster 2 way before he got the Nintendo ds and Wii. He wanted all the games so we got him as many as we could including Tangled . He played it and just like the other games he learned from it. We also found out the store Five and Below carries tons of Leapster Explorer games for $5 not the $20 you pay in a reg. Store. But I highly recommend this game especially for a 7 year old girl.

Hi,Well I have been trying to buy one of these for like 2 months now. It was always sold out everywhere. Finally at Target the manager told me that Leap Frog had stopped sending them out to retailers and also recalled the ones they had in stock. Mainly because they found a problem with the leap pads, some sort of glitch. I called Leap frog and they still don't know when they will be out and fixed. This is probably why you still have not received your new one. Hope you do... Take cae!

I have a 3 1/2 yr old girl who loves her leapster!! She plays a few games (Diego & Dora also one of the Letter games for the LMax), but she mostly likes the game that comes installed in the game itself. I would say get him the game and let him learn. It IS leapster after all!! He'll love it!!

We haven't tested it out yet, it's for Christmas. But other games we bought in the past that said "(works with LeapPad Tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer)" have worked in the LeapPad 2. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

It comes with games already installed, and you can download games as well, and even track your child's learning progress online. But you can and will probably want to buy some cartridges as well :-)

All games marked for the Explorer / Explorer GS / LeapPad / LeadPad 2 are interchangeable. We have an Explorer and a LeapPad 2 and have ~6 game cartridges for the Explorer that my son uses in his new LeapPad 2 with no issues. You can also download and install Leapster Connect on your computer and buy games online to download directly onto any of the 4 devices listed above. This way you don't have to worry about losing cartridges.

When you buy a game you can only play it when the game cartridge is in the leap pad, so yes, if you bought it, they could take turns playing it. But they would not be able to both play it at the same time.

I just wanted to correct this. Leapster TV does offer a 2nd controller. I'm doing my homework on Leapster TV and Vsmile and I found out that Leapster TV does have a 2nd controller. You have to look at the games before you buy them to ensure the game is two player though
