5.0 out of 5 stars What a pleasant surprise!, January 26, 2005

This review is from: Buckaroo (Toy)

My boys received this game as a Christmas gift. I was so pleased with this toy, as well as very surprised: I had never heard of this game before! This game has 3 difficulty settings (1,2,3); the higher the number, the more sensitive the "mule" becomes to being jostled. These settings means everyone in the family enjoys playing the game, from our 3 year old to us adults (including my upstairs neighbor!) Basically one carefully piles the "gear" onto "Buckaroo's" saddle, taking turns, until all pieces have been placed or the mule "kicks", spraying game pieces all over the table, much to the laughter of all playing.
It receives: 5 stars for fun (yee- hah!); 3 stars for educational value (well, fine motor skills ARE important, but I think games should be more about fun than learning, anyway) ;4 stars for durability ("Buckaroo" will sometimes jump right out of the base when the game pops)

And 5 stars overall because my family loves this game as much as we love "Uncle Wiggily", "Phase 10", and "Skip BO", other games I had never heard of before receiving them as gifts. Buckaroo joins a closet full of games, some classic, some new, (some educational, even!), all beloved on family game night!

This review is from: Buckaroo (Toy)

My daughter received this game early this year. We were all so excited to try it out but boy what a dumb, frustrating game. Neat idea...but doesn't work right. I thought the idea of having 3 levels was good, but for us, no matter what level of sensitivity you set in on, it will not buck at all. My daughter is not even 4 yet, and every time..she gets every piece on the horse and it still doesn't buck. She has to press on the rear of it to make it work. This game was such a disappointment and I really would NOT reccommend it to anyone. I wish I could have tried it out first. Also, the saddle is hard to get on for a younger child and it doesn't stay on well either. Bummer!

Picked this up after the enticing commercials my 3.5 yr old saw ... and returned it the day after. Definitely not worth the price (...)! Pieces kept falling off, we couldn't get the saddle to stay on and most of the prongs were not long enough to hold any of the pieces. Other times we could load the horse up and it wouldn't buck at all! Save your money for something other than this plastic gem.
