(5 stars) - Winner!
I bought this toy for my 4 year old grandson's birthday. He is able to do the activities "solo" with no difficulty. My daughter tells me that she has to take it away form him when it's time for bed... he loves playing it so much. That's good enough for me!!

(2 stars) - 4 yr. old has no interest in this toy
I bought this toy for my son's 4th birthday after reading the rave reviews on this site. He seems to be above average in intelligence, and can stay focused for long periods of time. This toy does not capture his interest - not even in the least bit. How it works: On each level, the toy plays a sequence (i.e. count to five, sings a song, names of months in the year, etc.). As the game is verbally saying the sequence, the "gizmos" light up. Each gizmos is assigned to one of the parts of the sequence. Then, the child is expected to activate each gizmo in the correct order of the sequence. (It reminds me EVER SO SLIGHTLY of the game Simon.) If the child activates a gizmo out of sequence, the game plays a 'you got it wrong' series of buzzes. Then the child can try another gizmo until he selects the correct gizmo in the sequence. While watching my son play the game: He has no interest in what the game wants him to do; so he touches various gizmos in the wrong order; which leads to wrong button buzzing; then he's less interested because the unit is just a bunch of buzzing and lights flashing; and he puts it down about 30 seconds laters. Maybe it's just too hard for him; but both my husband and I played it and we find nothing appealing about it either. I wish I could see the kids of all the other reviewers play this because they make it sound like the best game ever. I'm at a complete loss as to what they are seeing that we're not.

UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE: Two days after I wrote the above review, my son picked this game up and didn't want to put it down. I guess it just took him a while to warm up to it; and patience on my part in terms of seeing him eventually enjoy it. This toy is a winner -- but be patient if it seems like a dud at first!

(4 stars) - good fun
Purchased for a 5 year old to give them practice with sequencing and building listening skills. Child loves playing with it, their 7 year old sibling also can't leave it alone. They have fun playing in two player mode when the 5 year old will share. I find it durable. It fell off the kitchen counter and has been dropped by our toddler (who also wants to play with it) and still works great.

(5 stars) - Perfect for Gifted Toddler
My two year old can read and skip count. It can be tough to find toys like this that will stand up to a toddler's abuse but go beyond phonics and counting to ten. This toy fits the bill. He knows much of the information it presents, but not all of it, and with the memory and sequencing skills involved, it's fun and challenging anyway. Plus, operating the "fix-its" probably helps develop fine motor skills.

I think any toddler might enjoy this toy. (Even if a toddler tries it out and isn't ready for it just yet, he'll grow into it.) I allow very few electronic toys in the house and recommend even fewer. This one makes the cut.

(5 stars) - the best toy I have ever bought!!!
i was skeptical at first when i bought this for my 3 yr old son..(hes now 4) but he picked up on it right away and beats me EVERY TIME!! haha - I run a daycare and the 3 yr old girls I have cannot stay focused on it for more then a minute, and dont know how to play it but my son and i play with this EVERY day, no matter what, for at least 20 minutes.. i do wish level 3 was more difficult and had more songs.
