5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy!, November 18, 2006
This review is from: Cosmic Catch - Colors May Vary (Toy)
My seven year old and her friends love this! Her dad and I even enjoy playing this with her. ( I originally bought this because I wanted a game to play with my daughter that my husband and I would enjoy playing also.)
It has four game modes. (Fast Pass, Code Challenge, Add One, Your Out) We've never bothered to read the directions, so we haven't figured out two of the games yet (Code Challenge & Add One). It doesn't mattter though because we have so much fun playing Fast Pass & Your Out.

The battery compartment was a little difficult to get to (it's under a thick padding of foam). It's great that the battery compartment is padded though, because it could be dangerous throwing around if it was hard. I haven't had any trouble with the batteries jostling around. I really don't see how that the batteries could do that, if the screws are fully screwed in.

I would highly recommend. Kids and adults both love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great toy and how to open battery compartment, February 3, 2008
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Cosmic Catch - Colors May Vary (Toy)
This is a great toy. My niece and nephew love it, and adults can have fun playing it too.

My solution to the the major problem of opening the battery compartment... You need a #0 or #1 phillips head screwdriver. You can buy them at any hardware store. They are also commonly found in precision screwdriver sets (the kind to adjust eyeglasses). I tried using a regular small phillips head, and I couldn't get it. I went at it for over forty minutes on two separate occasions. Once I used a #1 phillips... Bingo... right away, no problem.


The screws are set down about an inch into the foam. They are not covered by the foam, more like countersunk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!, November 29, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cosmic Catch - Colors May Vary (Toy)
This is a really cool toy and uses some pretty cool technology. It comes with 8 colored bracelets that the ball can identify when the wearer catches the ball. There are four games to play including, "figure out the sequence (of catchers)", hot potato, speed pass in which the ball tells you where to throw next, and make your own sequence that grows and you have to repeat. It's a nice active way to keep your brain moving. The wrist bands are somewhat bulky in your hands (you have to wear the plastic medalion in your palm), but I had my 8 year old wearing them and playing w/o any real trouble. The ball is the standard soft nerf material and yes the batteries are buried in it, but with the right jeweler's phillips head screw driver (or even a regular small regular one) you won't have any trouble. I did not have any of the battery contact trouble referred to in other reviews, but we did only play it for about an hour so far.
