I bought this toy for my 4 year-old son because it was on sale for $5. I thought, if the game sucked then the sword itself was worth $5. It turned out to be one of the best toy purchases I've ever made! My son loves playing it and on days when he can't go out to play, it gives him a good upper body workout. The top of our TV sits too high for him so we have to tilt the motion/light sensor thingy angled down. We also had to buy an adapter, which it didn't come with but the manual tells you exactly what kind to get, because the batteries didn't last too long. Aside from those two things, I think this game is great for kids and adults alike! Oh yeah, this is the only, what I consider, "violent" game my sons owns. It doesn't have bloody and gorey scenes nor does it contain profanity.

This game is great - lots of fun. Everyone that comes over has to try it. My three year old likes to play, but it's not just for kids - I can't seem to leave it alone for long. I'm stuck now, but getting better. I wish there were an online forum to share tips. I can't seem to kill the major bad guy at the level I'm at (Lurt?). Luckily, you get better with practice. I would like to have given 5 stars, but the graphics are not the best. I was impressed at how responsive the sword / electric eye is. As long as you calibrate it properly, it works really well.

Picked this one up on sale at a Kaybee Toys in my area. You get a sensor base and a plastic sword. The sensor picks up all your movements in real time. You slash vertical, horizontal, and diagonal all in real time. As you progress you get special moves that are executed by several sword swipes in succession. The game picks up your movements in real time which is pretty impressive. There is a ton of strategy here as you have slash, block, and counter attack. The varied enemies all have different attack patterns, strengths and weaknesses. There are some really cool boss encounters as well. My only gripe is the graphics arent so hot. I grew up on the atari 2600 so this isnt an issue for me but for some, it might be. I highly recomend this game if you are an old school gamer who loves solid gameplay more than good looking graphics.

The game is Incredibly great! Yes, The graphics are a little bad but who really cares any way? The game also gives you a great workout. This game is a must have for all ages. I saw a review on this game where the person could not beat Lurtz at level four. Well here is how. Trick 1: DO NOT do All Skip at the beginning, this makes him harder. Trick 2:Get a high amount of life Before you Fight him. Trick 3:Block horizontally with the sword when he shoots arrows and you have to fight an Orc, that way you block the Orc attack and the arrow then, you can kill the Orc while Lurtz is not firing arrows. Trick 4: This is the most important Trick of all, When Lurtz shoots arrows at you, Hit them back DO NOT block them. Also look for patterns in his arrows. Trick 5: When Lurtz comes close to you Block Vertically until he raises his sword and pauses then, attack him vigorously. Eventually he will move back. Then Just keep on repeating this,
