Games Reviews

Sequence is fun for the first few weeks after purchasing it, but after a while it becomes boring. It is a very simple game that anyone can understand. Although it does involve a bit of luck, it involves more skill and strategy that people would think.

While the board and chips are strong, the cards are very flimsy. The rules state that you should play until someone gets 3(?) sequences, but I find it much more fun to play until either all the chips are used up or until there are no more cards left. Our family enjoys occasionally pulling out Sequence to play every once in a while.


If you like strategy and want to play this game with young children, this game is great. I find it a bit dull and for anyone looking for a bit more excitement, I recommend that you purchase a different game.

This is a great game of planning and strategy. You can spend hours playing it and enjoying it!

This game is great for 2 or 3 people. I haven't tried the team version, but probably would work well with younger kids.

Its takes strategy to and isn't as easy as you think.

The 2004 (3rd ed) is still a good primer to introduce those new to boardless games to the greatest RPG ever invented. This boxed set has everything you need to play, but less pregenerated adventures than the previous boxed sets. You will hook newcomers on this amazing world of adventure and imagination, then discover you'll soon want evern more options than this set can provide (which was WIZARDS' plan in the first place). The hardcover D&D Player's handbook gives you the complete rules, with more race, spells etc.
This set comes with16 nice painted miniatures (4 heroes and the rest monsters) better than the punch-outs of the earlier set.
The set has 4 pre-genterated character sheets to start play immediately, along with the standard 7 dice, quick start rules, a small first adventure book and "advanced" rulebook, 4 double-sided map tiles for generating dungeons and combat. Also this set has monster stat card very handy for handling combat without constant pageturning. The set lists for ages 12 and up, but a good reader of 8 (along with an adult guide) would love this set.

Ok I was a little nervous after purchasing it, thinking it would be bad. When it arrived. I forgot about my video games, and just played this over and over. This box includes 4 tiles, 16 minatures which includes 4 heros, 7 dice (Dice would be much more expensive bought anywhere else), Quick Start Rules (If you have someone who played D&D in "their time" just have them explain it), First Adventure Book, and Advanced Rule Book. I suggest purchasing this with the expanded minatures, and the Master's guide so you won't get confused along the way. I have written some adventures, and it really gets you thinking (probably a good gift for parents who have kids who love RPGs, because it is like a video game in a way. So if you get this, you won't regret it.

wtf? I can get the complete core rulebook gift set and Dragon Dice here from Amazon but I CANT GET the Basic Game?? Is this a Monopoly by Toys R US?? Why the hell can't they ship it to my "geographic location (internationally)" when they've been able to do so for the other two items I've ordered (which coincidentally ARENT shipped by friggin Toys R US)??

Bought this for my 5 year old Justice Leaguer. My son is not a rough player but we went through 4 (YES, FOUR) of them before we finally got one where the elevator didn't break in the 1st 2 weeks. Mattel needs to get their act together and design toys that have durability. VERY disappointing!

It's a good thing most of the Justice Leaguers can fly, because the elevator on our Watchtower broke in the first 20 minutes after Superman got jammed in it. While I was able to rescue the Man of Steel, the elevator string bound in the gears and broke. There's no way of repairing it without taking apart the entire center column, which is not something I was likely to try, given the number of widget, gadgets, and springs on that part. I also found the center column and elevator mechanism difficult to assemble. The directions could have had more words and fewer pictures, as well. (Do they assume that the parents are illiterate?)

I agree with the reviewer who said that Mattel needs to work on the quality of the toy.

I bought this for Christmas. It was somewhat challanging to put together properly, but after that it was quite fun for my five year old. I know when she plays with this due to the sound fx.

My 4 yr old begged and begged for this toy and I finally gave in when I found it on clearance. After playing with it for maybe an hour, even he said "Mommy, this was a waste of money!" If he doesn't follow the directions exactly in the order said, or tries to skip ahead, the game is unable to keep up and then he gets frustrated. I'm really glad we didn't pay anything close to full price for this useless piece of plastic

I wish they were still making the Fusion Crew creatures because they made wonderful behavior incentives for my 5 year old son. This game works something like one of those trading card games. My husband used to play "Magic" when he was in college so enjoys the Fusion Dome with my son. You stick critter halves together to create your own creature and then compete with the other player. The dome talks you through the process and anounces the name of the creatures by reading a bar code. There are lights and sounds and the loser gets "flushed" down the shoot. My son can be pretty hard on his toys and this one seems to be holding up well.

My 4 year old son got this for Christmas. He'd been asking for it for months. He absolutely loves it! He's always asking for me to play it with him. I don't even think the buttons each player presses really do anything but he thinks they do. He anxiously awaits to hear who wins. It's a lot of fun for him. I imagine for older kids it may not be much fun but for 3-6 year olds it is. Not much educational value but perhaps it could teach a child how to listen and follow instructions.

I received this toy for Easter for my Twins in thier baskets. I have to say that the nicest part of the toy is the three brightly colored balls. I am a big Fisher Price fan and I like the adjustable volume and the music is not too overbearing but the toy is not made well. The hoop attachement falls off way to easily (everytime) and having to re-assemble it each time its touched is annoying. With three small kids, I need a toy to hold up for play. It's not worth the money and I would not give this to anyone else.

We got this toy at Christmas when Ethan was 5 mos., he is now 10 mos. He likes to spin the side spinner but that's about all. I agree that the hoop falls off MUCH too easily and it was really hard to put the bottom pieces together. It seemed silly they weren't already connected. Ethan loves playing with the balls alone but not worth the money.

My son almost 7 months old and this has been his favorite toy for months. He can hold the balls in one hand (sometimes one in each hand) and has figured out how to put them in the basket. He also chases the balls around the room and loves to watch his daddy juggle them. He loves to hear the music and looks perplexed when he makes a basket and the toy isn't turned on! Yes, the top comes apart from the bottom occasionally but not everytime by any means. My son picks it up, pulls it around, and it stays put together. I got online to order another one for grandma's house and was VERY surprised to see such a low review.

This is really an outstanding tool for math, money, and sequential memory skills. I appreciated the fact that there are 2 differenct books included. With some coaching, my 6 year old jumped right in - the games are fun and challenging. If your kids like Sponge Bob, this is a delicious Crabby Patty with the works.

This has been a life saver. It heats our bottles in about 2 minutes, if that.

The Pros of the warmer - It's very fast, has a on/off switch, cooler with ice pack, indicating light that lets you know when the bottle is done and heats baby food.

The Cons of the warmer
If you not careful you can get some serious burns from this thing, especially if it's 3am and your half dead and not paying attention. The steam has gotten me twice and my hubby burned himself because the bottle itself was hot (he actually got blisters)

Ours is very inconsistent and we always use exactly the same amount of water. Each time we get different results. Sometimes the bottle is so hot, you have to pick it up with a pot holder. Other times it's ice cold.

We have to check the temp. of the bottle constantly, which means I have to stand overtop of it and make sure the formula doesn't boil.

Overall, I am happy with the warmer, mainly because of how fast it is. But after both my husband and I were burned (and we got blisters) I thought it would be best to tell you guys here.
Be Careful of the steam and the actual bottle itself.

Good Luck :)

I have owned this bottle and have used it for my daughter for the past 6 months without a single problem. I have researched every single bottle warmer out there and I can tell you, with confidence, that this is the best you will find. The removable cooler is very convenient with the fact that you do not have to go rooting around your fridge in the middle of the night looking for the bottle, plus it holds two bottles. I use Avent and it works perfectly. It also makes it very convenient to place right in your baby's room! My sole complaint is that the nightlight is not bright enough alone. But the steps to use this are quite simple. First, fill the resevoir with the premeasured water amount, then add the bottle and just press the button to start the warming process! It's just that easy! I have left this device with my family and they have mastered this product within a few uses!
I hae noticed many gripes about this product and my response is, READ THE MANUAL!!! As long as you read and follow the instructions in the booklet, you will perfectly okay! The steps are not tricky at all, but there are a few little tips that they give you in order to keep your unit running properly.
