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 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.

My 11 year old neice and I ended up having competions against each other with this toy. It was a great deal of fun for us but I got the feeling that the others in the room were not as amused as we were due to the noise level.

I bought this for my eight year old girl's birthday. It was a complete waste of money. The product is very hard to understand. When you try to do the right moves; it still counts you out. The on/off switch is just a button amoung buttons that are not labeled. It just lays in the toy box; waiting to be taken to Goodwill.

let me see you do the groove! the slide, the scratch! yeah. this is sooo much fun. i like that its mobile and that everyone can play. you can groove even if you don't have the device, since the music is waasay awesome. i challenge all my friends to groove! hope you don't end up a groove newbie!
