What’s It About?
LEAPFROG LEAPTV: DISNEY FROZEN ARRENDELLE'S WINTER FESTIVAL invites players into Arrendelle as Anna, Elsa, and Olaf work to plan the Winter Festival. Kids can choose from five primary activities. In Ice Skating, kids help Elsa teach Anna to skate by choosing the correct answers to math questions, before collecting as many ice crystals as possible before time runs out. In Ice Sculptures, kids use shapes to help Elsa create a beautiful ice sculpture to decorate Arrendelle. Mountain Sliding asks kids to help Elsa plan a sliding path down the mountain before guiding Olaf down the mountain to catch ice crystals. The Snowball Throw lets kids gather snow using their math skills to make snowballs before joining a snowball fight. Finally, kids can become jewelry designers, solve math problems to create colorful snowflakes, or buy virtual souvenirs.
Is It Any Good?
Though Frozen fans will love the chance to play with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf, a weak story framework for the mini-games and layered-on learning keep it from achieving "Wow!" status. There's a lot to like about this mini-game collection, though. Interacting with Frozen favorites on a large screen is delightful, and there are a lot of cute items kids can purchase as they earn their ice crystals. But once you've played through the activities a couple of times, there just isn't all that much to do. The math tie-in feels forced and never quite makes any sense in the story, even as kids level up in skill. Perhaps the worst part is that, though kids can take cute pictures with Anna and Elsa or with the jewelry they've designed, the images don't appear to save anywhere, even in the collectible gallery. It's a yes for the Frozen-obsessed, but there are better titles for other kids to enjoy.
