5/5 – Impossible to just watch
These kind of games don’t usually appeal to me – but this had me hooked. Whether playing on your own or with a group it is undeniably addictive.
For those of you who are over 30 and can remember the electronic game “Simon” this is a far superior, jazzed up progression of that. But if you think remembering Simon means you’re too grown up for Bop It think again! It’s impossible to sit and watch others play – you just want to join in.
Easy to hold, easy to use – the only hard bit is getting good at it!
..and if you feel guilty for wiling away so many hours, just be consoled by the fact you’re improving your reflexes and dexterity in the process
5/5 – Its fun, but not as we know it!!!!!
This is a toy with a real double life. If you have a competitive streak, and kids, don’t buy it unless you want some late nights!!!! It is mega-addictive, even if you get the high score, you will want to play again to try and beat it your-self.
On a fairly serious note, it is very entertaining, a great ice-breaker at parties, and as far as the kids go, it teaches co-ordination and the try try again mentality.
Not sure about durability, the vocal for “Flick It” sounds like “Swig It”, and the maximum high score of 250 is too low. But,well, it’s only a toy, and a very good one at that. Over-all it’s a five out of five from us!!
4/5 – Bopping Fun
A wonderful brightly coloured contraption, which doesn’t take up too much space in the children’s bedroom! Great for improving dexterity,memory, concentration etc and at times, hysteria, when on the “pass it” mode. My 7 and 11 year olds do well with this toy, they are quite contented to play individually and get the best score they can. There are 2 modes “Beat Bop” and “Vox Bop” one of which commands you via a voice and the other in which you are commanded by a sound, both are entertaining although the sound one is more difficult. Ideal for parties…try doing this after a couple of drinks!!
Only gripe is the “High score” of 250 was attainable by my 11 year old after a week or two. Therefore the toy no longer poses a challenge to her.
