My 7 year old son is in love with the Didj my dad got him, and he only had the Jetpack Heroes that was included. So, I decided to add to his repertoire. After all, I know the Leapster wasn't much without the cartridges and the included games weren't ever nearly as fun as the ones we bought.
I was a little concerned that the Star Wars game would have the same math concepts he worked on in Jetpack Heroes, but it is different. Instead of addition, subtraction, multiplication, my son gets to work on fractions, place value and geometry.
I tried it myself and there is enough math to keep my son thinking. He gets a to be a jedi with a light saber who goes around a maze of hallways killing bad guys and while trying to survive. He has to stop once in awhile and answer questions like which pie chart shows 1/10 colored in or what number in 693 is in the hundreds place or how many sides does a pentagon have.
For those worried about violence, it is cartoon violence against robots and there is no blood. I'd say it`s about as violent as Tom and Jerry, except the robots die (disappear). That may not be enough for some, but at least you know what you are getting into.
My son loved his Leapster, but he said he's not going back. Didj is much better. He likes being able to customize the game. I like being able to track his progress and help choose what concepts he's working on.

Originally we had BIG problems with the Didj not being recognized by our Mac. This has happened off and on a few times since we got it resulting in the boys losing their hard earned bitz. I was close to sending it back when it finally started working and I saw how much my boys liked it. My 2 boys, 8 and 5 yrs old, LOVE to play the Star Wars game we bought and Power Pack game that comes on the Didj. The boys also love to create their own Didji characters online which then download onto the Didj. My 5 year old guesses a lot to answer the questions so I'm not sure really if he is learning math facts or learning how to guess. My 8 years old IS practicing his math facts while playing. Leapfrog needs to polish the Didj and Leapsite to work together better. We love Leapfrog products and have bought a L-Max handheld. My 5 year old prefers the Didj to his L-Max which we cost us way more $. At first my 8 year old even played the Didj over his DS, but DS seems to be preferred right now though is not as educational. I'm glad I got the Didj for less than $30 on Amazon and I wouldn't recommend paying the $89.99 full price until the Didj gets an upgrade.Best Deals for LeapFrog Didj Custom Learning Game Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Star wars is a math oriented game that is great for grades 1 3 and review or refresh of basic math for older kids. More difficult math for upper levels needs a different game. The fun my boys have with this game, they don't even realize they are doing math and learning. They are learning and refreshing so much I am very pleased! I can program the game to specify the areas each child needs to work on (multiplication for my eldest, two digit adding and subtracting with carrying/borrowing for my middle and +/0-12 for my youngest) I highly recommend this for fun and or math!Honest reviews on LeapFrog Didj Custom Learning Game Star Wars: The Clone Wars
My 7 yo son wanted to play this game on his DiDJ so he saved and finally bought it. When it arrived, he desperately open the box and inserted the cartridge in the game console. A few minutes later he was enjoying , making noices and having fun. The questions provided in this game were something new for him so this keep him excited and inmerse in the game.I asked hime the next day about some of the questions the game showed up and he was able to retain knowledge. That's nice! He's on advance math class :)
