Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide

March 31st, 2010

Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide




Be quick as you flick, slide or shoot the different-colored hyper discs under the arch. As the game unit calls out the sequence of colors for you to pass, the game “knows” if you’ve passed the right disc or not. Pass ‘em fast before the buzzer blasts! Obey the voice commands, get your brain in the game and break the code, or guess which color will be called next. Play with a friend or practice solo.

Tabletop slide-and-pass excitement features electronic lights and sounds, plus an announcer’s voice that talks you through three fast-sliding game modes. Electronic game unit comes with four Hyper Discs, each a different color; plus Hyper Band and instructions. Requires 3 “AA” batteries (not included). For 1 or 2 players.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars More fun than I thought!
I had seen advertisements on TV about this game–but I didn’t think it looked like it would be that much fun. However, after reading the positive reviews here I thought I would buy it for my son’s birthday. It actually is a lot of fun. Plus, I can actually win more often than not. Normally winning isn’t that important–but since I lose to my son when we play video games–it’s nice to have a game that helps me regain some respect!

5 Stars Quick fun game
Base houses small pieces so I just have to toss the unit in the closet without worrying where the pieces went. Fun for all ages.

4 Stars great for one or two of any age
For people who enjoy memory games, hyper slide is as much fun for children as teens or adults. Anyone who likes to challenge him or herself on remembering patterns or figuring out patterns will like playing. On the upside, it can be played with one player for when your 11 year old wants to play and an opponent isn’t available. On the downside, the ‘voice’ is pretty loud and you can’t control the volume so it’s not conducive to playing in the same room as someone doing homework!

5 Stars Hyper Slide the fast passn’ action game
Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide

Hyper Slide is total FUN! It’s the ideal game for camping, lounging around at home or as a way to pass time on an outing.

This game helps you to concentrate, listen, and react as quickly as you can to get the discs through. It has three different game challenges that allow you to choose your comfort zone.

Hyper slide does not give you a lot of time to chat and converse–the object of the game is speed and concentration. If your children need to improve their listening and attention skills this is a must have for them. They will have to concentrate and listen to WIN!

If you want a game that you can enjoy with your kids but does not require a lot of “brain work” then this is the game for you. You can play it on a table or on the floor and it can easily fit in your bag.

Grandparents will even enjoy playing this game. Need I say more?

4 Stars Really cool game for 1 or 2 players
It took my kids a couple of weeks after Christmas to give this weird looking toy a try. Once we got it out and read the instructions it was a hit! Two of my children can sit across from each other and play (kind of like a cross between air hockey, & simon. You have to slide the correct color in a certain amount of time to keep the game going. It has a neat band that goes on so just one player can play and the pucks come back to you. Our ages are 3,7,9,& almost 11 and we all love it.

(The 3 year old can’t really play it, but he thinks he can)

3 Stars Shame on your price!
Nerf Sonic Micro Darts Refill 10 Pack

I tried to puchase the Streamline Darts Refill Pack for my sons. Given the holiday, they are out in both retail stores I looked. I tried on line and was shocked by the price Hasbro is offering. Shame on your company!!! It is unfortunate that you elect to price gouge your loyal parents/children who sponsor your products.

5 Stars Grandson’s request
My grandson requested the gun for Christmas along with extra ammo. It is safe to use and has really gotten him up and running. I’m glad to see him off the sofa and away from the hand held games for awhile.

5 Stars A basic necessity!
You will always lose darts so getting replacement darts is a necessity! Worse off, some guns can only take streamline darts so you need these particular darts. Nerf used to sell only 10 packs but recently they’ve been selling 30 packs. I’m a fan of the 30 packs, so if you don’t plan on losing a lot of them, this 10 pack is OK.

4 Stars absolutely terrible price…
when i saw the price on these I assumed it was a third party seller trying to make an extra buck. Why would Amazon charge triple price for something like this? makes no sense…

4 Stars Nerf Ammo
These darts are great for the Nerf longshot and recon they last for about a month if you treat them well.

a good price if you get them from target (4.99) they are not worth anything more then that though.

Hasbro Nerf N Strike Maverick Colors May Vary

March 20th, 2010

Hasbro Nerf N Strike Maverick Colors May Vary




Like the gun toted by the cowboy hero with whom it shares its name, the Maverick is a six shooter. Unlike the gun that other Maverick had, however, this weapon shoots only soft suction darts that can fly across a room and adhere to a window or other glass surface. The Maverick features a rotating barrel, which makes it easier to keep the firepower flying in the midst of heated battle and a futuristic look to better engender sci-fi fantasy play if you so choose. For a little extra power boost, the gun also has a pump mechanism. In our informal test, the darts flew surprisingly far and impressively straight. –Charlie Williams

5 Stars Lot’s of fun for kids!
As with all Nerf and Nerf-like products, these are great fun for any kid. Super gift idea, and very practical. Get’s kids outside and active…away from the games for a while. Plus, numerous kids can play at once and make it great fun! Extra ammo is always recommended!

3 Stars good toy
The Nerf N-Strike Maverick a good gun for target shooting, and sneaking up on people when they have their back turned to you. You can stick different types of darts in the gun like Micro darts (suction darts that can stick to glass), Micro sonic darts (whistling darts), etc. The only problem is the gun jams 30% of the time. So it’s best not to be in combat with the gun.

5 Stars Nerf wars are fun!
you can fire it quickly and it’s pretty accurate. the “bullets” have to go in all the way or it gets stuck, but you just push in the “bullet” and its okay again. I have a number of Nerf guns and this is usually the one I chose when we have Nerf wars.

5 Stars Best of the line
This was my first Nerf gun, and I’ve had it little under a year, but it is definetely first in line for my arsenal. Even though reloading’s a bit tricky and tedious at first, it is extremely exciting in a fire fight. And you don’t even have to flip out the chamber. The conveniently placed gaps on the sides make it easy to just slip one in, change the chamber, and repeat. It even has the handy ability to un-cock the firing slide when you want to fake fire it.

Dare I say this, but this little pistol has a greater range than the ‘Longshot,’ or Shortstop, as I call it. Just don’t aim for the eyes…

This thing doesn’t break easily either. I once dropped it while climbing a tree about 20-25 feet up and it didn’t even have a scratch.

I’d say that this is a must have for any Nerf fan, no matter what age. I hope more ideas like this can be used in the future.

3 Stars Fun for kids and adult
I bought 3 of these for my nephew for his birthday. They were a hit and we used them on our next camping trip. I only have two issues with them. These are definitely not for close use. They do pack a bit of a punch and can sting if hit in the right place. The cylinder for the bullets likes to stick often so you have to work it sometimes. Over all it provide all of us great fun.

1 Star Defective mold prevented attachment of pistol stock
This toy has two components. The front detaches and can be used a compact launcher.

The pistol stock has to be attached to the front component. On the toy we received the stock could not be properly inserted. It was clocked by a protruding mold. In a partly inserted state it could not engage the firing mechanism.

I had to cut away parts of the rear protruding “wings” with a sharp knife and a dremel. After removing parts of the plastic pieces I was able, with some force, to snap the pistol grip firmly in place. It is now locked in place and works as designed.

This looks like a error in the mold or design, not a change manufacturing slip-up.

Once fully assembled it’s a fun toy, but I do not recommend purchasing this until you know Hasbro has eliminated this problem.

4 Stars Hasbro Nerf N-strike Longshot
Our 8 year old son loves his Longshot! He & all the other Nerf gun warriors in the neighborhood are having a great time! He’s had it for little over 3 weeks now. The only negative thing to say about this toy at this time is that the longer part of the Longshot does regularly “chew up” the bullets as the are being chambered. This leads to a jammed toy & torn up bullets. :( It is much lighter to carry around than the Nerf Vulcan that his brother has.

4 Stars Jonah’s Nerf Longshot review (age 11)
The Nerf Longshot CS-6 is pretty good quality but sometimes the darts get jammed up. I like that it can be upgraded with the scope and has an extra ammunition mag. It is a 2 in 1 blaster and has good accuracy.

5 Stars Terrific Fun!
Bought this with the CS-6 to have battles with my son! What great toys for hours of indoor fun! Just keep losing darts! haha

1 Star Listen to the ones with low ratings
I was hestitant to allow my son to buy this item but he convinced me to buy it locally. It is a good thing. The bullets are tore up with just a few hours of play. The guns jams frequently and becomes frustrating to play with it.

This is the second nerf gun we have purchased that we will be returning within a day. Nerf needs to go back and just stick with footballs.

Nerf Dart Tag Hyperfire Deluxe 2 Player Blaster Set

March 17th, 2010

Nerf Dart Tag Hyperfire Deluxe 2 Player Blaster Set




From Hasbro, the Nerf Dart Tag Hyperfire Deluxe 2-Player Blaster Set includes everything you need for fast-paced battles and action-packed contests. Featuring two Hyperfire blasters that hold 10 darts each for rapid firing, and two Micro Blasters for close-range sneak attacks, this set is sure to keep kids eight and up on their toes and having fun.


What We Think


Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Four blasters with an awesome range can be accurately aimed

The Bad: Small darts are easy to lose

In a Nutshell: This Nerf Blaster provides kids and adults with hours of fun


At a Glance

Ages: 8 and up

Colorful Hyperfire Blasters can hold 10 darts at a time. View larger.

A Whole New Game of Tag
Getting ready for battle is quick and easy. Strap on an adjustable scoring vest and slip on your sleek, Vision Gear glasses. Then load your blaster up with foam darts and take aim at your opponent. Forget laser-tag games that burn through batteries and simpler foam dart guns that require you to reload after every shot. A Hyperfire Blaster can hold 10 darts at a time, and with an auto-advance barrel, you can get lots of shots off quickly.

Whether you play indoors with couch cushion forts offering you cover, or outdoors in an open field, there’s lots of different ways you can strategize against your opponents. Take as many shots as you can right away, or wait until your opponent is low on ammo and get in a single, perfectly aimed blow.

One really great feature is the way darts actually stick to the included vests, so you never have to argue about whether or not you’ve scored a hit. Micro Blasters that hold one dart each and offer a shorter range add to your strategic options.

Dramatic, Fast-Paced Play
It is critical to give a little thought to the field of play before a game begins. The Hyperfire Blasters have a surprising long range, and they shoot darts with an impressive amount of force. Even though the darts are made of soft foam, if you take a lot of shots at close range your opponent probably won’t want to play again. Similarly, fragile items could be broken if you hit them directly. So it’s a good idea to test your gun before the first battle so that you can estimate how much space you’ll need to play.

Let’s face it, even adults love Nerf guns. So, in addition to inspiring competitive friends and siblings to spend time together, this set provides a great way for parents and kids to play together. Our one real complaint is that, even though this set is lots of fun for older kids and adults, the safety glasses and the scoring vests are sized only for younger players.

And while the included glasses are well made with a pleasant orange tint, they aren’t very adjustable. So if they aren’t comfortable or secure, you might want to replace them with protective eyewear of your own.

Overall, it’s hard to imagine having more fun than we had with these Hyperfire Blasters. We do suspect that it would be pretty easy to lose some of the 24 included darts, especially if you play outdoors on a windy day or in a cluttered basement. Fortunately, you can buy refill packs to replace lost darts or to extend the length of game play.

What’s in the Box
Two large blasters, two micro blasters, two scoring vests, two sets of safety glasses, and 24 micro darts.

Auto-advance barrel for fast-paced action.

Includes two micro blasters. View larger.

4 Stars Lots of fun and 4 can play at once
The 4 nerf guns work very well. Comes with a bunch of bullets which do not break easily (but do wind up ALL OVER THE HOUSE). Great to keep a group of kids busy indoors in the winter for awhile, shooting at each other and at targets. Recommend all nerf gun sets, my kids and their friends love them.

5 Stars Nerf Dart Tag
I purchased the Nerf Hyperfire Dart Tag for my son’s 9th birthday. It was a big hit! My two boys love to play with it together and any friends that come over love to play it too. They ususally don’t even mess with wearing the vests though. Great indoor activity. Just be prepared to look for missing darts. I will probably need to buy some more darts for Christmas along with more large multi-fire blasters. They would come in handy for friends that come over or for parents!

5 Stars A great Nerf set!
This set is great! Why? Because it comes with four guns. My brother and I have fun playing battles. We want to get another set so that our friends can play too. You need to get extra bullets, they disappear fast. Pros…Comes with four guns, darts make a sound in the air, guns have great accuracy. Cons…you need to cock the guns every time you fire. GREAT OVERALL!

5 Stars 4 guns for the price of one
Nerf products speak for themselves as far as quality. But value was the shining star with this deal- for $[...] my son got 4 guns, darts, 2 tag vests, and 2 pairs of glasses. While I prefer they play it outside, the darts are soft enough to refrain from causing too much damage. Replacement darts are easy to find if you need extras.

5 Stars great fun!
This has been alot of fun for our whole family. My 11 year old daughter, my husband and I have all been engaged in serious dart battles. The only problem is the darts “mysteriously” disappearing. About 1/2 of them are gone now. We need to order more. Also, the glasses are important for eye protection – we found that out the hard way!
