We just got this great game and my kids love it. They opened it, got the batteries in and were playing within minutes. I could hear them outside laughing and screaming. After about 15 minutes my oldest son (11) came in, covered with sweat, and said, "This is by far the best gift we have gotten!" I loved that they could figure it out themselves and that it was keeping them moving. It was a real workout! Great for my middle son, 9, who likes to play on the computer a bit too much. He was running around and laughing like crazy too. The boys even included their 5 y/o sister who had a blast. It is so cool how they wear colored bands on their hands and get to sign in by touching the ball. The ball calls out each color as they touch it. The game determines which color does what so no one can say someone isnt playing fair. Not one argument when they were playing. If you want a game that gets them moving and laughing this is the one!

4.0 out of 5 stars not as fun as cosmic catch, December 13, 2008

My son got cosmic catch a few years ago for his birthday. He had a great time with cosmic catch with his friends but it broke (fairly quickly). He got cosmic keep away for his birthday a few months ago. The first few times he had a great times with his friends but their are far fewer options then with cosmic catch so he wished he had gotten a new cosmic catch. The main games with cosmic keep away are monkey in the middle and keep away games, which work best with three players. This toy is best played with 3-4 kids.
If you are deciding between cosmic catch and keep away, I would recomend the cosmic catch because it is good for 2-8 players and has more game choices. This product is still fun and I would much rather have the kids playing outside then inside with video games. The kids that have used this at my house range from 4-14. I would say the ideal age range is 7+. It moves a little fast for kids under 6.

This nerf ball was great fun, even the wife got into it. My daughter received this as a gift today. After about 30 minutes the ball would just turn itself off for no reason. You could always start the game over and then it would shut itself down again in the middle of the game. Very annoying, I suppose it's defective. If I could get a good one I would definitely purchase another. But now we are sending this one back to Amazon.

Disappointed
