1.0 out of 5 stars Cool concept, lousy execution..., February 7, 2010

After installing a fistfull of batteries, my kids started playing the game on Christmas Day. My 8- and 10-year old quickly lost interest, as it is just too difficult to control the cars let alone score points. I played for about 30 minutes with my 15-year old son, in that time we were able to score 2 baskets. The controls are just too imprecise to use, the game is more frustrating than fun. This hasn't been used since Christmas, and I doubt my kids will ever get it out again.

If you are determined to get it, just prepare yourself for the kind of remote control cars you can get for a few bucks a pair....

This review is from: Kid Galaxy Interactive Radio Control Scoop 'n' Shoot Basketball (Toy)

This toy was very disappointing. It required 9 volt batteries, but did not have the standard plug in for them and thus the connection was very poor and the vehicles would not operate as they should have. Frustrating especially at Christmas when all the excitement is high and you expect things to work.
