Our 3 year old son LOVES this game! It has 10 plastic super-hero characters that come apart at the waist. You put the tops on one side, and the bottoms on the other side. Cover them with the provided cups, and uncover to see if you can remember which top and bottom match. Of course, he already knows which pieces go together, I still have to consult the "map"(which incidentally is kind of small). Wish they had a "princess" equivalent game for our 3 year old daughter.

I bought this game for my 3-year old son over the summer. He LOVES it! Expands memory in three ways. First they have to learn the Superhero's names. Second, which feet go with which head, and then finally where the halves are hiding on the game board. With the hard plastic case, we are able to carry it with us to restaurants which keeps him busy while we wait. Additionally, he plays with others or by himself. He even uses his imagination and creates a superheros scene when not playing the game. Great hands on game. I buy it now for all his "boy friend's birthdays. I wish there was a girl version "Princess Memory". Educational as well as fun! A definite winner!!

My 2 year old is in speach therapy, and the therapist brought this one week and he liked it, but my 4 year old LOVED LOVED LOVED it! She now brings it every week for him to play with while she does other things with my younger son. I am buying this for my son, my nephew and a friends little boy. It is fun for them to play as a game, but just as much fun to just play with the superheros- they are the perfect size for thier little hands.

We bought this for our 2-1/2 year old boy 4 months ago. He LOVES it. He will not let it out of his sight. He sleeps with it, he wants to have them on the table when he eats. He keeps them in his pocket. He pushes them around in his sisters baby stroller. Basically everything revolves around his "guys." He can name everyone and at a glance can tell who is missing and we have to turn the house upside down to find the missing hero. It is by far his favorite toy. We are going to buy a second one for reserve in case we lose some of the Heroes. Highly recommended.

This game is your basic ages old memory game. We have owned a couple other card versions of "Memory." I cannot get my 3-year old son to concentrate on the card games,this version is another story. This game has 10 super hero figures that come apart at the waist into heads and feet. He plays the game as was meant and when he makes a match he is is so excited because it actually accomplishes something when he gets to put the 2 body halves together to create a figure. Then he can play with them when the game is over. The figures are ADORABLE! They are so little and chunky and cute. Additionally, the hard plastic case, which flips over for use as the game board, has kept the peices from getting lost because it can take a little hauling around and little boy abuse without breaking and being incapable of holding the pieces. Now, we got ours several months ago and paid nothing close to this price for it (I think we paid [...]) and for that price it was a steal! I might pay up to [...] for this. I would definitely recommend this, it is SO cute and the quality is very nice.

I bought this game for my 2 & 1/2 year old son for Christmas. I really wasn't sure if he would understand it, but both he and his older brother (4) have loved playing it. The game is easy to set up (although, unlike regular Memory, one person has to place the pieces-so that person knows where they are) and the kids have fun lifting the cups to see what's hiding underneath. My younger boy needs some coaching (he likes to pick the same two cups every turn) but my older boy has figured out the strategy and plays quite well.
I like the fact that this game has plastic pieces, instead of cards (which get torn or lost) and the plastic case is a nice bonus.
My only problem with this game is that it can be difficult to tell which feet go with each head. Fortunately, the manufactures have included a key to help you make the right matches. Now that we have played it a few times, we are all getting better at knowing whose feet are whose.
Overall, I think this is a really well-designed game. I reccommend it to parents who enjoy playing games with their young children (it might be tough for a young kind to set up without an adult). We all have fun playing this, and it is nice to have a game that both of my boys can play without conflict!

is my son's favorite Christmas present, which is awesome because I'm a geek and nothing makes me happier than making my son into a little geek too. It's nothing remarkable at first glance--just a 3-D memory game, but it quickly becomes apparent that this is something special. There's ten super heroes present, some great and others "meh." My son immediately took to Spider-Man, but quickly learned to love and respect The Thing, Wolverine, Spider-Girl, Storm, Cyclops from the X-Men, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and The Hulk. Anyway, all ten of the heroes are about three inches high and awfully cute. The miniaturization of the characters is not so flattering for the female characters who appear a bit chubby to be generous. On one hand, that's a good thing because comic characters tend to be overly sexualized, but on the other hand, it may be awkward when they go from the "safe" versions to the busty and leggy versions.

Gameplay is pretty straightfoward, with each hero being torn asunder in two (head/arms and legs), each of which is hidden under a grey cup. You take turns lifting the cups and trying to find both halves of the heroes. Or, if you are my three-year old son, you lift up the same two cups every turn and act surprised that you found the head of Spider-Girl and the feet of Iron Man.

I've played this game about 700 times or so since Christmas and I think I can safely say that cleanup is a snap, the game plays well, and the game pieces seem to convert into tiny impotent little action figures that save the world in frozen poses.

If there's a problem, it's a geeky one: Spider-Girl exists outside of regular Marvel continuity (she is an alternate universe daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Parker) so her inclusion is a bit odd. Why not include Elektra instead? Just because she's an assassin? It seems a bit narrow minded to me.

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old son, and he TOTALLY loves it. He knows all the characters and is an ace at matching them up now! He also loves to play with the figures by themselves, which has lead to some missing heads and bodies, but no worries I ordered another one off Amazon for backup. My kid is a huge Spidey fan, but his friends who aren't love this game too. I def reccommend this toy/game for any child!

This is a great toy. I wasn't convinced about buying it (I am not much into superheroes myself) but my husband insisted. Well, he was right this time. My son can't get enough of it, and my daughters enjoy it as much as him. I just got three to give as birthday presents to friends.

My 3 year old son loves this game. He plays with it for quite awhile every day and is just as happy to play with it alone as to play the game with one of us. I would say this is a real winner!
