Product Description

Amazon.com

Groove It is evolved from earlier handheld games that annoyingly commanded players to push, twist or hit something, ever faster, to keep things going. Even CEOs lost their cool playing with those things. Now it's a bit less monotonous, and embarrassing. Instead of awkward knobs and buttons, players pass a hand over motion-detecting lasers and lights that simulate the sliding, zooming, and scratching sounds made by the earlier games. As well, instead of one goofy musical score, this version has two types of background music, and talks more clearly to let you know if your move was right or wrong. Kids and adults alike can play, as the game has 3 skill levels and a variety of progressive speeds. Required: 3 "AA" batteries. Diane Beall

Product Description

Grab your friends, and gear up for a groovy, dancin' good time. Move to the music, follow the lights and get into the groove. The motion sensors know your moves as you zoom, scratch and slide in response to the lights and sounds. The pace speeds up and you'll unlock a total of eleven different moves the longer you play. Features two different music mixes, three skill levels, volume control and automatic scoring. Requires 3 "AA" (not included).

Groove-it is a hand held game that plays music and calls out hand movements, that become, in turn more complex. My 9 year old and 5/12 year old boys love to play, and "groove" along to the music as they do. It is a great toy for long drives, and has lead to lots of laughter and fun interaction for our family. They howled when my husband showed them his cool moves! I would so much rather my boys take turns with Groove-it, root each other on to reach their individual best, than stare blankly at a gameboy.

This review is from: Groove It (Toy)

This is a great toy - for both kids and adults. In the tradition of Hasbro's BopIt you have to quickly react to the commands the toy gives. But there are no buttons to press. Instead the toy has motion sensors and little LEDs that light up during the moves. The groovy voice and sound track are just great and beat anything Hasbro has released so far.

The motion detection works reasonably well, but not perfect. Some moves require you to do some extra action to make the move count. Example: The "ZIPPER" only works for me if I open my hand at the beginning of the move and close it while performing. This is a bit frustrating, but over all the game plays very well.

The hardest mode, the "expert" setting can only be accessed after you finished the advanced mode. To do this you need to correctly perform all moves and then survive for another minute or so. If you played a lot of BopIt, you should manage this in a couple of hours. Don't let the manual scare you, the moves look confusing on paper but are pretty straightforward once you play them on the device.

In my opinion this toy is a MUST BUY for everyone who enjoyed BopIt Extreme. If you have never played this other Hasbro toy, you might want to buy a BopIt first.

This is a fun game, especially if you like bop it. Batteries do not last long though.
