This system is very limited in what it can do. My 5 year old doesn't seem interested. He played it the first day we got it then went back to his V-Smile. My 3 year olds however, love the thing. The only down side I have found so far is that the buttons on the side of the controller will fast-forward and rewind. My boys haven't quite grasped this concept which has made for quite a bit of whining.
