 A bit complicated for 3 years old. |
| Review Date: July 28, 2009 |

I bought this for my son for his 3rd birthday & was a bit disappointed. To get the game to work, you have to be standing directly over the sensor, holding the controller just exactly right & you have to swing with all the power of Mark McGwire during the "enhanced" years. There are times even when I have tried it out that I had to swing with almost all of my force to get any kind of reaction. It took us a few tries to figure out he had to be standing directly over the floor piece, which is fine, except for that sometimes he steps on it. I'd think after a while that won't be good for it.
In the articles before this toy came out, it was said it was the Wii for toddlers...great, my son loves messing with the Wii, so I thought this would be perfect! Not so much, like I said, you have to have everything just right for the sensor to work, which for 3 year olds & I'm guessing even 4-5 year olds, that becomes frustrating after the 10th time you've been told stand right here, don't turn the controller upside down & get your fingers off of the red bar.
Not to mention that in today's world of video games the graphics aren't going to wow too many kids that already have gaming systems in the house. I know things need to be childlike, but at some points the graphics are even a bit fuzzy, which is pretty pathetic.
The overall idea of the toy is good, the learning part is great, the execution needs some work. It needs to be changed to a sensor bar more like the Wii, so that the controller can just be held in the hand without the worry that it's being held incorrectly. Several flaws around this one, not sure how Fisher Price could have had kids try this out & have had this design pass & make it to the shelves. They need revamped a lot...and the folks that have bought round 1 need to get the redesign for free. This was a lot of money to plunk down for something that's not totally enjoyable. |
Fun for a 3-4 year old

| I bought this for my 3 year old son, as a Christmas gift. He enjoys playing the games and it is fairly educational at the same time. The graphics are a weak, but this isnt xbox360 - its for preschoolers. My son doesn't seem to mind, as he is always wanting me to take it out for him to play. At times it does seem a little hard to get the console to pick up his movements, almost like a delay. Overall my son enjoys it, and has fun with this and his v-motion. [although i perfer the v-motion!] |

| My 4 and 5 year old grand children have enjoyed this game a moderate amount. It is a bit repetitive, but they do look forward to playing it and gives a minimal amount of exercise. For the price it is okay. The graphics are of modest quality, but that was expected given the price. |
Easy setup. Old school graphics.

| The game is good for a 3-4 year old. Graphics are equal to a 1980's Atari game. |
Great idea, but disappointing

| I was really disappointed in this product. I purchased it for my 3 and 1/2 year old son. The idea was great. I bought it instead of the more expensive motorcycle game they had primarily because it looked easy to unhook and store when not in use. This was easy to set up and even my kid figured out how to turn it on and switch out the different sports components. My son is truly interested in the games and educational activities, but gets frustrated because the sensor does not work right. I thought maybe he was just using it wrong so I played it with no luck. Even I gave up after a few minutes of the computer not reacting to my swings and motions. There are two arms that hook into the sensor to give the child a "zone" to stand in. The arms do not click in place and just fall out. Even when the child stands in this zone, the sensors don't work well. I was not impressed with the quality of the graphics, but I think my kid wouldn't have cared if only the sensor reacted better. i spent around $40.00 on this product and it sits unused in the corner. |
