Wow, as soon as my 4 year old started to play the game I was impressed. While he can count pretty high, he had been having trouble with knowing his numbers by sight, especially teens and twenties. Within the first ten minutes of play, he had quickly grasped these numbers as used he laser to shoot the appropriate numbers. <br />We are pretty conservative in what we allow our children to watch, so my kids have no idea who the Star Wars characters really are and I was a little concerned about how Star Wars could be appropriate for young children. They do an excellent job in handling the "violence" issue so the game really isn't scary nor cruel. They have done an excellent job of making the learning of simple math facts fun. We are still on level one of game play, so I am not sure how the upper levels are or how advanced they get in keeping the attention of children. The first level was very appropriate for my 4 year old, who tends to work at a Kindergarten level. My 2 year olds are probably at least six months, if not a year or more from being ready for the first level of this game. <br />I really enjoy the bonus questions used to help unlock doors - a great way of teaching and reinforcing the concepts of time and time of day. We hadn't intentionally tackled things like minutes versus hours with my four year old, but he was still able to get those type of questions right. I hadn't expected that aspect of the game and was excited about seeing it. The game was also a pretty neat way of introducing story problems to young children without intimidation.

It's a little advanced for him but it is giving him something to work toward and he likes it since it's Star Wars. I got this for my 4 year old.
