Games Reviews

These plush dolls are so cute, I am very pleased with this classic item...I wish they had the whole clan..."Dance your cares away!"

The Red Fraggle Rock Plush is a quality item, especially if you enjoy Fraggles and Fraggle Rock. I have a handicapped daughter that loves Fraggle Rock and Red Fraggle. She holds her Red all day long, shaking it left and right the whole while. It has held up well to the rigorous "testing".

She's great, and my girlfriend loves her! She has bendy arms, and we even hung her from the ceiling for a bit. Go Fraggle Rock!!!!

Bought this wagon after extensive research. Step 2 is known for good quality products. After 2 days, front tire was bent out of shape. Exchanged it for another one, this time, not only did the tire bend out of shape, it started to crack!

Overall, good wagon, but unusable due to inferior quality tire/axle.

We are pleased with this wagon and would buy again.

My 15 month old daughter loves this wagon. She puts her sippy cup in the holder and off we go!. She loves it when she has company and they can ride too!

The grandparents bought this for my 5-year old for Christmas. He liked it, but the touchscreen broke the first day. Not exactly reliable.

I bought this for my 4 year old, after his 7 year old brother got a Game Boy, and he wanted a "Game Boy", too. It is silver, has a stylus, and has some nice educational games. You can control it using the stylus, or by touching the screen with your finger. It's not too complicated, and is far less expensive than the Leapster or VSmile handheld, the other options for a 4 year old. I also like the fact the there are no extra cartridges to buy - and lose! The graphics aren't very fancy, and the picture is black and white, but my son doesn't mind in the least. I'm sure in about a year, he will get his own Game Boy, but until then, this will work nicely, and it doesn't matter if it gets dropped on the floor again and again.

I bought this for my daughter who constantly wants to play with her father's palm pilot. She loved it and our problems were solved. Now she can go and get her palm and play while someone else is using the "boring" palm. It does not have a color screen, so if that is important this is not the item for you. The only draw back is that it does not have a volume control. You can turn the volume off but it makes it impossible to play some of the games. Excellent learning tool.

I got this pesent for Christmas last year. A few days later I started to make it. It took aprox.4 hours to build. It was fun at first then after 2 hours my hands were hurting and I figured out that alot of peices were wrong and I tried to undo them but my hands hurt like heck. So I left it like it was for a few days. Then a few weeks later my brothers friend came over and fixed it for me. He built it all correct. The music wored fine but the motor would not spin the BIG wheel. It also was quite loud. I dont rate this toy for kids under the age of 11. It was reallt hard. The friend of my brothers was 18. LOL

This toy was my favorite Christmas present this year!I love to do this kind of thing because it is so much fun!On some of the reviews it says that this thing was hard to put together.They probably just said that bacause of how many directions there were.There are a lot of directions but they are very,very,very easy to follow.I'm only 12 and had the ferris wheel done in about 30 minutes!The other rides took about 30 minutes also!This is a really great toy that is definately worth the price!I definately reccomend this toy!The rides are huge and really work good if you connect the gears correctly[which is very easy]!
I do think they should have at least gave you a carrying case for the pieces though,which they don't.

I got this toy last year for Christmas at my Grandparents' house, but started building it anyway. It took my dad and I about 34 min. to finish it, mostly because my little cousin kept on playing with the music module, it took us that long. It's about 2-3 ft. high, and about 7 in. long. When we had to go home, we had a hard time fitting it into our truck. As soon as we got home, I played with it for about an hour and a half. This toy is very amusing. (Warning, small parts included. Not reccomended for infants that still put miscellanious things in their mouths.)

We bought the 12' pool on sale in December, then set it up 2 months ago. After having it up for a week, we discovered we needed to chlorinate it and get a simple garden hose "vacuum" for it, which worked fine. After it was up for a week or so, we discovered the base was leaking in one spot, at the seam. After another 2 weeks one of the seams started to pull apart. Multiple patches didn't help, as the material was just falling apart. I tried to reach the manufacturer multiple times, but their phone was always busy. Today a few spots in the area that was "disolving" broke through, giving a "jet" of water coming out of the side. We tried patching to no avail. About an hour ago one of the holes started growing, and after a minute - POW, 1,400 gallons of water out the side, into our yard and down the basement steps. Fortunately our drains worked.
The bright side of it is our kids collected lots of worms who came to the surface of the yard after the deluge of water. It was fun while it lasted, perhaps only just worth what we paid for it on sale.

First of all, I gave this a 3 star rating for educational value because it helped my son gain confidence in the water because he could touch the bottom and he is now swimming on his own. Set up was tricky because our ground sloped ever so slightly but this made a big difference and we had to keep emptying it, repositioning then filling it up again. The main problem with it is that the pump really doesn't do much at all. Especially when the water is still, it just doesn't do anything, just makes some ripples near the top hose. But we are so glad we had the pool for the summer and our kids just love it!

We could not decide if we were ready for the commitment and cost of a large pool. We were excited when we saw a 36 in x 12 pool. It has been one of our best purchases! We had to buy additional items for it, such as the vaccum, clorine floater and the cover but other than these few items, every thing came with the pool that we needed. We have used this pool almost every day in the summer. It was a great size to learn how to keep the chemicals balanced and to learn to care for it without spending loads of money on clorine and other chemicals. The filter ran perfectly for two full summers of swimming but then it died and a replacement was needed. Big deal, we only gave $88.00 for the pool new, left it out all year long, and have gotten more than our monies worth out of it. We have a little bit of a slope but it wasn't a problem for the pool. My daughter learned to swim in the pool and now has confidence to swim in larger pools. We plan on purchasing a replacement filter. The whole family has enjoyed it and I am grateful that they make these affordable pools!

Play the online version because that one makes sense. This was a cheap ploy to make money on Richard Karn's and Imagination Games. Case in point: In the fast money round, you play like the show until it comes to scoring... the game only gives you the number 1 answer and it's points. How about my specific answer? How many points was that Richard?

This is the first time I'm writing a review of anything on Amazon.com, but I need to warn people about this game. It would be great except for 2 problems:
1. It skip excessively.
2. There is no way to easily skip past games that you've played. So once you've taken out that DVD, put it back in and you'll recognize the questions -- you've answered them already!

Not recommended.

If I could give it negative stars, I would. However, Amazon makes you give it at least 1.

This is one of the best DVD games there is! i totally reccomend this game for everyone, including kids. Kids and adults will have bunches of fun playing the game, but to have even more fun, just make a deal with the other team and say "Best two out of three games is the champion!!" because this Family Feud game is very short but fun. One of the lamest questions they asked team B was: "What famous man has sideburns?" and our family was puzzled. Of course, who could of thought of Abraham Lincoln??!! But although it is short it is one of the COOLEST games out there!! Trust me, it's an addictive game! Pretty soon at your party and the next day someone will say, "Hey, guys, wanna play Family Feud again?"

Have fun and be sure to buy this!!!!!!!!!It's a great dvd game!!!!!! AND it works on my laptop!!!!!!

Me and my sister were so excited that our mom had gotten this toy for us.We thought it would be awsome but it turned out this toy was just plain horrible.The music is to fast my mom fell down and I was so confused and was twenty steps behind ven if I tryed. I know I'm just a kid but take my advice instead of using 30.00 on a piece of junk that nobody can have fun with.

Twister Moves is really boring. My friend brought it over on New Years and a group of us were really excited to play. All you do is listen to the radio and have some one shout out red! red! blue! purple! it's supposed to be two voices, a girl's and a guy's voice. When the guy screams out a color you're supposed to use your left foot, and when a girl screams out the color you have to use your right foot. It's so boring because they say, ready its going to get harder now! but instead they each call out the same color and before they call out colors they tell you what they are going to say for practice. Also the setup is 4 separate mats, and I just felt like I was playing by myself. There's no way of knowing that you messed up so basically you're just walking around the mat on random colors
It's really just boring, we played it for about 5 minutes. I love everything about dancing but I didn't want to waste my time on this game.

This game is so much fun, but you need to have patience. At the beginning I was terrible, but after playing this game a lot I got so much better. If you love dancing, you have to get this AWESOME game!

We bought this toy for our [...] old because the display was so cute in the store. I should have known something wasn't right when the display was not working. It talked but the cars didn't go. We got it home and set-up went okay (we used the animated instructions online), but realized the toy wasn't what we thought when we tried to use it. The car kept hitting the "lane switcher" and flying off the track. That problem could only be fixed temporarily. Another problem was that if the track wasn't set up precisely, the car would fly off the track. After a few laps it would move a little and have to be re-adjusted. The gorilla kept having to be re-adjusted as well... we never got it to do exactly what it was supposed to. I was under the impression that it said stuff as well (from the store display), but it never did. Anyway, after lots of annoyance with it, we decided to take it back and and we bought some legos instead.

My sons got this for Christmas last year, and they played with it for about 2 weeks, then gave up. I put it together exactly according to the instructions, and the first time we attempted to put the car through the track it flew off and hit my son. He wasn't hurt, just startled...but still. After tweaking the track for a very long time, we eventually got it to work. My kids were frustrated that only a handful of their very large Hotwheels collection would actually work with this toy. The toy's track soon got out of the very precise alignment it apparently has to be in, and the cars started flying off again. The gorilla's fist stopped hitting the lever in the right place, so the cage portion didn't work right. My kids must have decided that the aggravation wasn't worth it, so now its sitting in their room, unplayed with for months. Now, I'm realizing that its going to be a big pain to dissasemble and store.

I just bought the Gorilla Attack for my nephew's 4th birthday, and it is hilarious watching him play with it!!! He loves the fact of the cars going into the cage rather than them going around the track. It took a while to realize that the reason why he wasn't chomping or moving his arms was that the base was not pushed down properly. Once it was pushed down all the way, did he squeal with approval!!! I think my sister and I had more fun watching it go around the track than he did, as he once again tried to get the car to fall manually in the cage. Great product, not hard to put together at all, and worked with just about all of his regular Hot Wheels cars. Be careful, though, because we did have a few fly off the track, but only because it wasn't in alignment of when we first put it together. It does move a bit, making the track a bit off, but it's not hard to re-adjust the pieces for hours of fun!!!
