I thought this toy looked interesting based on the picture and description, in fact, I thought it was digital. It's actually a huge piece of hollow feeling plastic with a big sticker of the world map on it. My 9 yr. old son never even played with it, and he is really into history and geography, it's still sitting in his toy box since Christmas (3 mos. ago). -- Still in a toy box, never been used
This was a X-mas gift for a 4 year old. Not much to hold his attention. No lights or interaction besides pressing the buttons. He enjoys pressing the buttons, but you get the same info everytime. No variation in information presented. Each country is delivered in the same voice, in the same rythem, the same intonation. Only thing that changes is the numbers and names. Sounds like listening to the automated customer help voice.
He has picked up some of the information about various countries, but it just doesn't hold his attention.
Probably better suited for someone who has the patience to sit and listen. -- Good facts, old technology
This is great! My son is learning about the different countries at school and this toy helps make the learning fun! -- A fun, educational toy!
This was a gift for my 8 year old son. He loves non-fiction and learning about science and recently began drawing maps of the world. Naturally, I thought this would be a great fit for him. Unfortunately, it hasn't caught his attention and I'm not sure why. I can tell you that in the game mode he was stymied by the questions: such as "which country has an area of 4 million square miles?" - Australia. It might have worked better if it had offered some suggestions: Australia, Russia or Canada. Rather than pondering a map of the world and its many many countries. And then in a series of facts/questions he was asked/told this particular question three times in slightly different versions. So for now, I can't give it a great review. He hasn't touched it since that first time testing it out. If I later discover him enjoying it like the other reviews here I will certainly jump back on amazon and amend this review. I do think this could be a great toy for a child, but I guess I want to make sure others know it's not a sure thing. -- not a hit at my house
