Games Reviews

I purchased this game for my father because he loves games like Balderdash that flex each player's creative muscle. We played the game that same day and we enjoyed it, but we would change the rules a bit so that players would only move forward based on getting things correct rather than in addition to rolling dice and moving forward that way (which adds luck to the mix in addition to skill). Although there were several LOL momments, there weren't as many as I expected after reading the rave reviews on this site. There might have been more had we all not known each other so well.

This is the best game ever! I take it to all of my family functions where we play games and everyone LOVES it. It helps us learn about each other and we always end up laughing a lot. It's great fun! A must-have! If I could only have 1 game, this would be IT! I can't say enough about this game. Gotta have it :)

I usually don't write reviews for products, and am doing so only out of sheer love for this particular game. As can be easily gathered from other reviews, Loaded Questions simply involves navigating a playing board and reading the question on a drawn card corresponding to the color you landed on. The categories don't seem to matter. All are fun.

At this point the roller asks the question, and everyone else at the table answers it. This is the only game I've played where it's more fun to play during an opponents' turn, particularly if you and your family are creative.

It's fun to answer the questions honestly, but much more fun and challenging to goof around, and even if you do the game remains entirely playable. If members of your family and friends give you sassy answers of questionable integrity, knowing them well enough you can still guess by their sense of humor who said what.

Now onto the bad, which really doesn't need detract from the game. There are some questions which simply have the players answer something on a scale from 1 to 10. These questions aren't a lot of fun to answer, are difficult to guess, and generally we just skip them when playing. In addition to this, there are a very few questions that may be either slightly inappropriate for kids, or just not possible to answer. Questions about dating and kissing and such. These are very rare though. (I've seen one of each.) The least appropriate question I've seen asks what the players' favorite body part is. It can be taken innocently enough, but the game is obviously begging for certain answers.

Overall, the game is a blast, and even more so if you're willing to be creative with it.

I was expecting much more fun game. My daughters are almost 4 and they get bored after 10 minutes :( It's so slow going and boring. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.

My friends and I recently purchased this game, to bring back child-hood memories. I have to say that we had a blast! A great game for all, and the colors are very mind stimulating for younger children!

My kids really enjoy playing the Candy Land DVD game. There are 3 different games to play and you can play for fun or play to win on each game. With kids running and bouncing around, I really like the fact that the mats pretty much stay put on the carpet. Unlike other games, the kids are not slipping and sliding or falling down on the mats. I believe this game is rated for ages 4 and up, but I think that most 2 and 3 year old kids could play most of the games if not all of the games. My son is 2 and he can play all of the games (we have to help him a bit of the 'Mister Mint says' game though).

This sit and spin is so incredibly hard to spin on, it is almost impossible!!! My daughter has taken it out maybe 5 times since christmas and is done with it in about 2 minutes!! A complete waste of money!!!!

The volume on this toy is way too loud. It is only moderately tolerable if my daughter's little behind is positioned exactly so it covers up the speaker. It also has the most annoying music; some sort of disco/techno monstrosity.

I bought this toy for my 18 month old daughter Ava because she had so much fun on the one over at her grandparents. I got it and put it together. It is a waste of 25.00. Its so cheap, tips over easily, is hard for the child to spin, and the awkward oval shape is so stupid. Save your money and buy a different type.

I was looking for a good game to play with my girlfriend on quiet nights, and Guillotine will do the trick.

It is not necessarly an "exciting" or party game, but for a quiet evening, it's pretty good. I would definitely recommend it to families with children 8 and up.
Rules are easy to understand.

It got the job done for me, for the "fun" I was expecting from it!

As noted by others, the game is very easy to learn and a lot of fun to play over and over. The artwork on the cards is very good, too. It's also a short game, so it's a lot of fun to pull out at a gathering and play for 15-30 minutes.

It's an off-beat game that I highly recommend.

Overall one of the most fun games i've ever owned. Easy to learn, always funny and never dull. You're playing at the French Revolution and trying to beat your opponents by strategically playing your cards.

Fun for all.

The skin is really brown than black, quality is great. Price is very low plus free shipping. Nice deal!

I received Queen Rayla doll as a gift unexpectedly, and it was a wonderful suprise! Rayla is beautiful!

I love Rayla's eyes the most. They are a very deep, dark green. Her gown is her second-best part. It's light blue and very fancy and interesting with a lot of neat little details! Her hair is nice too - brown with golden highlights. Her crown is put in her hair perfectly. And Rayla's shoes actually stay on!!

My daughter loves Barbie dolls so much, so I decided to get this one for her....she loves it. I also like it very much, it is a break from all the skimpy clothed ones. The dress is very beautiful and we play with it everyday....

Somehow I got the impression that a LIGHTSABER had the capability to produce light. It doesn't. I purchased two for my grandchildren and learned just now that there is another toy, also called lightsaber that does operate on battery power. I wasn't impressed with the toy at any price. It's about as much fun as using spent paper towel rolls to have a sword fight.

i'am a die hard star war sfan and collect lightsabers.I just ordered this in the mail and it is very fun,durable and educational. The good: Very strong no matter how hard you hit it,it will not break. Also the handle is very cool. Clips to your belt to suprise opponents. the bad:the handle gets scratched very easily. It has no sound effects. and the blade isn't very realistic. overall this a great toy and a must have to your lightsaber collection.

Get this or another non-electronic lightsaber. Yester day, I was fighting my friend and with only one hit, I DESTROYED his electronic lightsaber, just like that!!! I was using a non-electronic lightsaber, only it was the blue and silver one. I wasn't strength that I used to send his blade flying, his saber wasn't durable at all!! These can't break if yo're just fighting a friend with a brand-new non-electronic saber, I'll bet my life in that, if you're the one with the brand-new saber, even if the fight lasts forever. Actually, even if it's over 100 years old. These do get scratched VERY easily, thogh. that's why I gave it 4 stars for durability. it can be educational, thogh, because it can help teach you to fight. Overall, this toy gets 5 stars. ( I'm going to get this one very soon, maybe today.) Bye!!!

My daughter received this as first birthday present (mainly because she loved playing with - banging together - her grandfather's 'model' cars and she needed one of her own). It is very cute and she loved pushing it around. The music played from it is fun, although it didn't take her long to figure out that if she pressed the seat over and over, the 3rd time would play the song that she does LOVE! So, she basically scrolls through the "Beep-Beep" & start up sound to get to the song. The mom & baby are very cute and durable. It also has a little stroller. I think at this point, the sounds entertain her and I think that she will enjoy it more as she gets further into pretend playing. For right now though, she has a good time just pushing it around and listening to the song.

My daughters (3 and 5 years old) love this car too. They now have a whole collection: Camper, Purple SUV, Pink SUV and this blue SUV! Toot toot, here we go!

This is another home run for Leap Frog. My Three Year old loves this game. He even plays it buy himself. He knows the Characters well from the other Leap Frog products so he was comfortable with it right away. It is a great teaching product and I really think it would be an asset to your collection. The one thing I was disappointed with was the quality of the packaging. The board ripped in half and it does not store neatly. Other than that I give it an A+.

My 4-yr old daughter has seen the Letter Factory and 1st and 2nd Talking Words DVDs and has thoroughly enjoyed them as well as learning a lot about letter names, sounds and how words are put together. This game was an instant hit, though in truth it hasn't taught her anything new. What did impress me was that she took it out of the box and started playing without any adult intervention - the game is well explained verbally and each step of the game is spelt out well. She finds it entertaining and enjoys playing it alone or with me. The game is pretty quick to play and there is plenty of praise for getting things right and the usual LeapFrog method of dealing with a wrong answer, i.e. you found x, we were looking for y... Good value for money - I think it was a good buy.

What a great game for toddlers learning letters, counting, and colors! The game console tells you and your little one exactly how to set up the board and walks you through how to play the game. My 2.5 year old daughter loved it and caught on how to play right away. Can't say enough about this one!
