Guide Review - VSmile Interactive TV Learning System
The VSmile Interactive TV Learning System from VTech is a breeze to use. It reminds me of an older Nintendo Video Gaming Console, you simply have to put 4 C size batteries in there, plug it into your TV System, insert the learning smartridge and you are ready to roll. The system is brightly colored in orange and blue, has big buttons for little hands to press easily, and a joystick which is dual handed, so lefties and righties can use it with ease. The graphics are limited, with the quality being just average. Little ones don't seem to mind it too much though, being so preoccupied with learning and playing games. Extra game cartridges or "Smartridges" as they are called are available, although they could improve the selection a bit. The range includes all your kids favorite characters like Mickey, Spiderman, Little Mermaid and many more. Learning sure is exciting with this system, and kids pick up letters, numbers, sounds, colors, and develop co-ordination skills and much more with the VSmile. Overall, this is a good way to keep younger children occupied, and steer them away from video games and such.
