1.0 out of 5 stars Poor construction November 19, 2009
Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   
This toy is not worth the money! I remember playing this game with one of my brothers when I was little, and we always had a good time. I was hoping to replicate the experience for my children; unfortunately, this game has been brought back in a junky, poor quality version. The hippos have to be removed from the game board with their necks extended and locked into place in order to put the game away in the box. My kids (6&4) have a hard time putting it together or putting it away by themselves (huge minus in my book!). The hippos sometimes become detached from the game during play. Their necks *frequently* get stuck in the extended position, necessitating stopping the game so that it can get fixed. The marbles are cheap, hollow plastic rather than the heavier marbles I remember from my childhood. The stickers don't stay on the hippos very well, so none of our hippos have eyes anymore. Even the box itself is incredibly flimsy if you hope to use it as a storage box for the game. Don't waste your money! Our game is sitting in the donation bin waiting to be taken to charity!

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap crappy version of a classic favorite!! November 26, 2009
Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
My 5 year old niece just received this for her birthday. It was opened for the kids to play while we were there and I was appalled at how cheap this game was made.
plastic marbles, er, I mean balls really?????
It is not one continious baord like the old origional but you "slide" the hippos into place. Which makes them flimsy while trying to play the game, becuase they will shift and make the "board uneven.
I can even tell it is much smaller than the origional, and the hippos had a tendency to get stuck while extended out with thier mouths open. And this was all noticeable the first time we took it out of the box.
shame shame....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun - but not as well built as the original September 28, 2009

I bought this for my 4 year old son's birthday. I remembered playing it as a kid and LOVING the game. I will say that the construction is not as good as I remember it and sometimes the poor hippos get stuck with their mouths open, but it is just as much fun as I remember. I gave it 5 stars because when I asked my son what his favorite present was (and he got some fun toys), he said "Hungry Hungry Hippos!"

2.0 out of 5 stars Lasted about a day
My daughter asked for this game for her birthday. By the end of the day, the hippos were pretty much broken. It's put together very shabbily. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the same quality that i remember
I remember this game being much more substantial, this product seemed like a cheap version of the old game. Very light weight and flimsy.

My Hungry Hungry Hippos from the 70s was much more durable, solid. This one has a hard time staying flat on a table and the hippos heads get stuck real easily. Read more
