5 Star Review Love It!!

Strengths:

Educational and fun

Weaknesses:

Button can stick

Posted Nov 25, 2006 - The whole family loves this system. We enjoy watching my son as he accomplishes each task. I am impressed with the things I didn't even realize he knew. My husband and I even enjoy playing the games with him - Scooby Doo and Toy Story are great games. I have recommended this toy to friends and they are satisfied also.

1 Star Review Bad Investment - BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Strengths:

3 year old daughter really enjoyed it when it would work.

Weaknesses:

I got mine for my daughter's 3rd b-day and it quit working a month later.

Posted Nov 9, 2006 - I eventually sent the system back to Vtech and they replaced it, but now the new one does not work anymore either. Like others, we have been very careful with it. It is just not a quality product and I would not recommend it to anyone. The sad thing is this was the only gift my daughter got for her B-day because of the expense of it and it is a piece of junk collecting dust in her room.

5 Star Review I Love It and so does my 4 year old!!!!

Strengths:

Easy to operate, lots of games, very educational

Weaknesses:

Doesn't come with an adapter

Posted Nov 8, 2006 - My 4 year old son has loved this product since we purchased it last Christmas. He has mastered the 6 games he has now but still enjoys playing them. The Dora game being his favorite right now.Its a childrens game so the graphics are acceptible for his age and I enjoy playing along with my son. I don't know what the fuss is over it eating batteries I have only had to switch them once since it was purchased. I would highly recommend this product my son has been telling me his colors in Spanish!!!

5 Star Review Fun and Educational!

Strengths:

This toy is fun and educational. I noticed that there are lots of new game cartridges this year also.

Weaknesses:

None.

Posted Nov 17, 2006 - We've had ours for a year now and it works well. It's been dropped by my kids (ages 5 and 7) quite a few times and no problems with it yet. It has been a sturdy and good toy for us. The graphics are not that important because it's actually made for small kids and not for adults. It not for professional gamers. The adapter is less than $10 and it pays for itself if you check the price of batteries now. I love this toy and so do my kids.

4 Star Review Good learning system for the begining gamer

Strengths:

Child friendly; Great learning program

Weaknesses:

No adapter included; graohic could use a little work

Posted Nov 28, 2006 - We bought ours last year, the console worked great, there was a power surge and it didn't want to work again, so I thought. Six months later (last week) I got the console out and it worked just fine. I assume that it needed a break. As far as the graphics go, I recently found out that kids (2yrs to 5yrs) aren't as impressed by graphics of ANY nature when we bought them a Classic Cartoon movie (EX: Betty Boop and Three Stooges from the '50's the graphics are not what's important to them, it's the content. I'm glad the manufacture has kept up with that. We only have the original game and my 4yr old still loves it a year later.

1 Star Review IT SUCKS!!!

Strengths:

Great for learning

Weaknesses:

Doesn't work very well once you get the adaptor.

Posted 1 year ago - My baby sister-in-law got two this christmas, just in case of an emergency or something, and well, the first one was played with batteries until we got the adaptor. Well, we got the adaptor and it worked......for about two days....so we plugged in the other one thinking well maybe it was just faulty. Well, what are the chances of someone getting two faulty V-Smiles

5 Star Review My 2 year old loves this

Strengths:

Options, clear directions, works great, durable, long cords

Weaknesses:

Game cartridges look weak (although have had no problems with them)Joystick a little touchy, prices a little high for games

Posted 1 year ago - Ok I know this is for children 3 and up but my 2 year old daughter loves it! We sit with her and help her along giving her directions which is fine a child of that age shouldn't sit in front of the tv like that by themselves anyways. I highly recommended this for any parent that's child watches tv, this is interactive and educational for young children. We game all the time so how can we expect our children to not follow in our foot steps slightly. I have had no problems what so ever with this. You can even turn the game options so that you never die! Constant directions though out the game tell you exactly what to do next, i don't think they could have made it any simpler.

1 Star Review On/Off buttons do not work, Will not turn ON

Strengths:

Made for Children, Educational

Weaknesses:

Does not turn on when you want to play, doesn't come with an adapter, uses batteries quick

Posted 1 year ago - We have only had this system for about a year now, we bought it for my 4 year old son, Christmas 2007. He loved it and then it just wouldn't come on anymore so he stopped playing it after a month. Between now and then he has probably played it 40 times. We switched batteries I tried everything that everyone has suggested called the tech support and nothing!!! Long wait on the phone then a women comes on rude saying, "maybe you didn't clean it good enough." I was going to buy him another one but after reading that we are not the only ones having trouble with it I think we will just throw it away and buy him more games for the Playstation which does come with the essential plugs to play and turns on when you want to play!! If I had read all this before I would not have even thought about buying him the V Smile that you can't even turn on with the game in or out!!! Very frustrating!!!!!

1 Star Review GoodWill wouldn't even take this gargage!

Strengths:

It would be a great footstool for your child to use because the system is junk.

Weaknesses:

After a day of use everything stops working

Posted 1 year ago - I have returned this piece of crap several times. The first time I tossed the box thinking it was a great product considering everyone and their brother raves about it. So, I had to buy one and replace it with the defect. But after exchanging this so many times, I realized that they are all defected. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Your better off with flash cards. If all else fails, regift it to someone you can't stand! It will sure bring them frustration!

5 Star Review AMAZING

Strengths:

easy for young children

Weaknesses:

not many games to choose from

Posted Feb 16, 2008 - finally a game systemfor the younger age group. My son (4) got this for christmas last year. Its the best gift ever. The joysticks are perfect for little children and the games are very educational. I read some of the other reviews and they were just horrible. My opinion is this game system is just amaazing..we've had ours for over a year now and never had any trouble with it at all. We play it every day and just take care of it. With this there should be no problems.

1 Star Review Not Impressed

Strengths:

it looks fun

Weaknesses:

won't turn on

Posted Jan 2, 2008 - We got this for Christmas for our 5 year old. From the first day we had issues with the system turning on. Whether it has batteries or an AC adapter (not included), it still won't turn on. You have to push the buttons over and over again, some games won't work at all. It's fun once it's on, but getting to that point is too frustrating. We took it back.

1 Star Review don

Strengths:

learning tool for kids

Weaknesses:

doesn

Posted Dec 6, 2007 - I brought this system for my daughter as a Christmas present and it started to mess up a few days later. She put it up for about a year and decided to play it once again when she got bored and nothing happened. I tried to call customer support and just recieved a recording. Never recieved any help. It was a waste of money.

5 Star Review THREE YEARS AND GOING STRONG!

Strengths:

LOTS OF GAMES, EASY TO USE, NON-VIOLENT GAMES, HELPS CHILDREN LEARN WHILE HAVING FUN.

Weaknesses:

SHOULD HAVE MORE GAMES FOR THE 8-10 YEAR OLD RANGE.

Posted Nov 24, 2007 - MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN PLAYING THIS ALMOST DAILY FOR THREE YEARS AND STILL LOVES IT. SHE HAS ALMOST EVERY TAPE AND IT HAS HELPED HER SCHOOL WORK ALOT. SHE HAS EXCEEDED STUDENT EXPECTATIONS FOR HER GRADE AND THIS IS BECAUSE SHE IS LEARNING WHILE SHE IS PLAYING. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. IT IS GREAT. THERE IS AN ADAPTER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FOR THIS PRODUCT. THAT IS A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE SHE USES IT SO MUCH I COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH BUYING THE BATTERIES. I KNOW OTHER PARENTS WHO HAVE THIS FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND THEY HAVE NO COMPLAINTS EITHER. THIS IS A SUPER PRODUCT!
