I almost always fall in the pit and get eaten. Sometimes I knock off the head, but it is hard to. My little sister likes to play with it too. I don't like all the noise it makes, but it is very fun to play. I only paid about $15 for it and it was worth it.

My son loves cars and wrecks (of course). I saw this advertised on TV and thought he would absolutely love it. It wasn't too hard to put together. My son got frustrated when he tried to play with it, however. You have to pull the car back and release it. My son didn't have the strength to do it by himself. When he would pull on the truck (on the ramp) the whole contraption would slide towards him. He played with it a couple of times and then no more. Maybe older children would like this toy and be better able to manipulate it.

I think Hot Wheels has some great stuff out there....but this is definately NOT one of them. Putting it together is a pain in the neck..it's very hard to click every together and the instructions could not be more unclear. (be aware that the pieces do not come out again, so you're stuck with this large contraption to store afterwards). There is only one function...pull the truck back on the lever and try to hit the monster's chest....so we did....but it was virtually impossible to do. The truck keeps falling in the "pit" and gets eaten every time. It's just poorly designed. It's VERY loud and my intelligent 5-year old stopped playing after 10 minutes.

we bought this toy 2 months ago for my 4 year old son, granted we dont read instructions anyhow so we didnt have a problem with them, but i did put the arm on the wrong side and didnt figure that out till i read the instructions---so they were helpful to me. i got the arm out put it on the right side and then i was done. my 4 year old son couldnt hit the monster so his head would fall off so we readjusted the heigth of the jump and he did it, not only did he do it but our 1 yr 16 months old son could do it too. my kids love it, and see who can get the head to fly off the most. they also use their hotwheels cars on it. i guess for most toys you have to know how to play with them and keep trying and you will get it.

My son got this toy for his 5th birthday. He had been collecting those little 1/64 scale monster trucks for quite a while & it was nice to have some kind of track he could use them with. I didn't have any problems putting it together. The battery compartment was well disguised, but other than that it was fine. My son played with this non stop for the first few weeks after he got this - using all his monster trucks trying to see who could defeat Crashzilla. The fun wore off quickly though. He rarely plays with it now. I think if your child loves monster trucks, he (or she) will love this toy.

My 5-year-old son is really into monster trucks, and he was so excited to get this toy. He saved his money for months to buy Crashzilla. This toy is fairly expensive--we paid $25 for it at our local target. It really only does one thing. You cock back the truck and aim it for the monster. You either get eaten or knock its head off. Wow! For $25 you'd expect a lot more. My son was bored with it in a few hours. A better choice for those young monster truck lovers are the Crank & Crush sets. They are only $12 and keep my son entertained for hours a day. Stay away from this one!!!

We initially were not going to purchase this since it had gotten two bad reviews....but my four year old son has been obsessed with monster trucks for awhile and insisted on buying this. Anyway...yes, the instructions can be confusing but all in all our son played with it all day long. He loved getting his other Hot wheels Monster trucks and trying them on the track (they also work). He really got into setting up a HOt Wheels Monster truck challenge and was able to win against the Crusher. If your son LOVES Monster Trucks he will probably enjoy this toy.
