Editorial Review

In this electronic adaptation, the hangman is a cowboy in a Western town. There are 11 chances to correctly guess the word from a memory bank of 8,000 words arranged in 10 categories. The game fits in the palm of a hand, and there's much to control. Select the skill level and word length (even whether or not to have sound effects play a victory tune when the cowboy is saved from the rope). Only Level 1 allows the player to pick from categories like Animals, City, Music, and Wild West. Otherwise, it's as random as traditional Hangman. Game 2 scrambles the letters, so it's even harder to guess which letter to pick from the lot and to guess the word. It comes ready to play, keeps score, and has an automatic shutoff. Great for long road trips. --Lynne Sampson

This review is from: Electric Hand Held Hangman (Toy)

I bought this game for my daughter because she always wanted us to play Hangman in restaurants while waiting to be served. Sometimes, I preferred adult conversation. Giving her this hand held, single player game gave me this option. But, I found myself asking for "my turn" to play. There are a variety of ways to play. All are fun.

This review is from: Electric Hand Held Hangman (Toy)

The game had different levels, but there wasn't much difference. Some of the words were very easy to figure out at first. It didn't have much of a word selection so after you played that caterogrie a few times, you knew what the word was going to be by the number of letters it had. There are about five catergories you can choose from. Like farm animals. The game got boring after about 5 minutes with playing with it.

I gave this hangman game last Christmas to my fifth grade daughter (a great stocking gift) and nearly a year later she's still playing with it and enjoying it. A terrific function of the game for me is that the user can *mute* the sound while playing it.
