Warning, there is a LeapPad 2+ customizable template for the same price or even cheaper.
Otherwise, applications are varied. Some are unattractive, others are pretty awesome (Splash, the adventures of Ptit Rex, The art studio).
Basic applications are interesting overall, but has quite a few games. It's mostly basic applications that leverage the innate functions of the tablet: photo, video, photo editing, drawing, music ...)
The stylus of the LeapPad 2 is more accurate than the LeapPad 3x and stores on the side in a slot provided for this purpose.
This tablet needs to be connected to a computer on which you install a software: leapfrog Connect, which allows purchases through the installation.
An application fee of 6 (small, not necessarily the lowest) to 25 (the Ultra E-books, very complete).
By default, the LeapPad 2 tablet runs on batteries. Expect the purchase of the kit + battery charger is a good idea. If you count the cover and the package the price is doubled, which instead at a 3x LeapPad, which incorporates original battery and charger, but also provides access to the installation of apps directly on the tablet (no need to PC) thanks to integrated WiFi.
So I would rather recommend buying a 3x LeapPad, but on this promo LeapPad 2 is still interesting!
