5 Stars Great Quality!
LOVE THESE!!!! We got these guns for our boys (4 & 6) but my husband also loves to play. The target is the other gun so it’s nice to not have to worry about using a vest. We got a laser tag game with a vest before and it didn’t work very well. All in all, great quality! These have been hours of fun! The video game is a bit mature for our boys. We don’t let them play it so I can’t give a review on that.

5 Stars Unbelievable Fun
The laser tag is loads of fun. It really is like two games in one with the t.v. video game for practice and the real time game with other laser tag guns. We had a blast using these and can’t wait until we can do it again. Like the sound effects and the visual lights to let you know when your are low on ammo or life. Like the option for team 1 or team 2 or solo players so that you can’t shoot your own team mates. Wish there was a local tag team group in our area so we could play laser tag with more people.

5 Stars had for 6 months
This is a great toy, I have had it for 6 months now with no problems. My child is 11 and loves it.

5 Stars Great Product
After reading the reviews, decided to pick up 2 of the laser guns for the kids for their birthday (7, 9 … girl, boy). Since opening, they’ve been playing it all weekend. I’ve even gotten caught up in it. Very well made, solid, really cool sound effects and feedback (strength meter, ammo meter, different force feedback when firing shotgun and rifle modes). I’m back online today to pick up 4 more guns. Forget the kids … our next get-together, the kids are watching a movie and the adults are playing 6-person laser tag in the dark. If you’re on the fence as to whether or not this is the one to purchase, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

5 Stars Heavy-duty and lots of fun. You won’t be disappointed!
Awesome product. They work well, lots of fun, and worth the money. I purchased 14 for the youth group I work with and we are getting hours of fun.

5 Stars My son loves it!
My son and nephew are huge fans of CARS and love this toy. It is a toy that he always goes back to. It does have some small parts that can come off and may be dangerous if there is a small baby around. I have just taken them all off and put them away.

5 Stars Great find.
Mack is a hit at my house with three-year-old twins who love Cars right now. Lightning McQueen fits right in the back end of Mack. The back is a little hard for a three-year old to open, but they are starting to get it. Great toy.

4 Stars Fun toy for kids who love “Cars”
My son (3 years old) loves the movie “Cars” and was thrilled to get this toy. He loves that you can put McQueen inside Mack just like in the movie. It is easy for him to operate and durable (he breaks everything, but hasn’t broken this), and unlike some other tractor-trailers he has, the back stays closed when McQueen is inside and my son is driving him around.

4 Stars Love it!
My 3 year old son has just discovered the movie “Cars” and he will use his Hot Wheels trucks and cars to act out the movie while it’s playing. He is fascinated with Semi’s now and calls them all “Mack”. So we decided to surprise him with this truck. We also bought a Lightning McQueen car to go inside it.

He absolutely LOVES it! He sleeps with it every night and brings it out with him in the morning. The ONLY complaint I have is that the back is a little tricky for a 3 year old to open by himself, so I am constantly opening the back for him. But it’s worth it, definately! I’m so glad we bought him this truck!

4 Stars Good substitute
For Christmas we wanted to purchase a Nintendo Wii for our kids but they were sold out everywhere. We came across this item for only 20.00, it was nearly 80.00 in Toys R Us, and I’m glad we bought it. For 20.00 it couldn’t be beat. It gave us a preview of what the real Wii would be like and it is a lot of fun. It is very similar to Wii Sports and for the people who don’t want to spend the 250.00 to buy the Wii this would definitely work. It’s a great toy but once the Wii arrived it hasn’t been touched.

4 Stars Don’t listen to the haters
For the money, this is a GREAT toy. We have had no problems getting the controller to synch and can’t figure out why anybody else does. It is limited to the 5 games, but my 6 year old loves the game and plays it every day. The parents play it too. It may not be all that WII is, but it’s a heck of a lot cheaper and when my boys grow out of it, I won’t feel bad about the investment I made. I say, if you are thinking about buying one, buy one!

5 Stars cheaper than the WII but just as good
I got this for my Grandchildren 6 and 3 and they love it. It teaches them how to bat, bowl, throw a football and golf. They do not know it is not the WII but are thrilled with it. This is definatly a great pick.

5 Stars Great Alternative to Wii
Our family have loved this game system. The kids really get into all the sports and it’s better then having them sit and play video games all day. This gets them up and moving. My son has top score on the Football. My husband and I compete on the bowling, it’s fun for us too. My 3yr old can even play it and her fav is the bowling. She manages to get Turkeys! Overall, a good system, especially if you can’t afford nor want to break your bank on a Wii and it’s expensive games. Hoping Jakks comes out w/ even more,as the system itself, when bought on sale, is more affordable than buying one Wii game. I think it depends on how often you play.

5 Stars Pleased with Purchase
This unit is a pretty good deal.

The only issue we have is that it only comes with a single controller. (and you have to figure out how to “sinc” it the first time you use it) The contol box is small enough to fit in any cramped space, works out great for kids rooms and spare game tv. Lots of fun with easy to play games.

4 Stars Battleship
Great fun for kids of all ages. Great for developing basic cognitive awareness and fun for adults to play with children, too.

5 Stars A good, fun game for the whole family. definitely recommend it!
I bought this game for my kids, but we ended up getting hooked to it. Love this game

3 Stars fun game
great toy for 8 years old. The battle over the sea make kids excited. But I expect more logic training from the game and I didn’t find much.

4 Stars Battleship – always a classic
My 6 year old loves this game, of course he does it’s battleship. Game is made more poorly than I recall….

2 Stars Not Worth The Effort
I bought this to play with my five year-old daughter. I tend to prefer games that can include more than two people, but I thought that this would be good for teaching some simple strategies. Unfortunately, the game is just too boring. While my daughter easily understood the game play, she and I both were done after just finding a couple of each others boats. It just takes too long and doesn’t compete with the many entertainment options.

As for construction, I will confirm other reviewer comments that the build quality is poor. I remember that in my old game, the pegs would sit firmly in the holes. Now, with a simple move of the board, pegs can fall down, causing you to lose your place. They also don’t sit well in the boat pieces. I also received a number of crooked pieces, making them useless.

I can’t imagine how anyone wouldn’t be disappointed by this game. You may get a few good rounds with it, but don’t be surprised if it quickly ends up in the closet collecting dust.

4 Stars Wholesome Fun
My son loved this toy. It is durable and easy to use. Lots of fun at a low cost.

4 Stars Our son LOVES this toy!
Our son is only 20 mos. old and he’s totally figured this one out. He loves anything with balls and the outdoors. He figured out how the ball drop feature works and can actually hit the ball with the club. The clubs are a little big for him, but he doesn’t care. I love that there is storage for everything.

4 Stars Great toy to introduce the game of golf!
This is a great little golf set. Love the way the balls drop right onto the tee. My daughter is not yet 2 and gets excited to play with it! My only complaint is the club handles tend to slip out the back of the ‘bag’. Otherwise super cute and fun! Comes in pink also.

5 Stars Great golf set
This toy is so much fun for my 18 month old son. He loves it. It offers great motor skill challenges. Thanks

5 Stars fun toy, not so educational
This toy is really great for kids to play around with. It’s safe and works at this age group. If you are looking for a kid to learn something, not so much, but really helps with hand eye coordination.
