I reccommend Bop It to any parent wanting a game that will entertain their kids (and even themselves) for hours. It not only is fun for all ages but also improves hand-eye cordination! Buy it today, you won't regret it!

My son wanted this toy so badly, and I bought it for his last Christmas. With normal play, and numerous battery changes, it broke in only a couple of months. Make sure you save the receipt (unlike I did).

I'm 28 and I can't put this toy down. It's basically a souped up version of Simon (that electronic color "memory game" we had when we were little). This is even more fun because there is music and sounds. It tells you what to do -- "bop it...twist it...pull it" -- and you respond to it's commands. If you are too slow or make a mistake it makes the funniest screaming noise. You can compete against yourself on how long you can keep up with the toy or play with a group (which is very funny -- everyone gets laughing). With a group you can see who can last the longest or play a version where Bop It tells you to "pass it" and you pass the toy to the next person. Very very fun toy. I highly recommend it for kids and adults.

I work in a correctional facility for juveniles. This game entertain's them for hours. For some unknown reason, this game cannot be put down by anyone when they start playing it. If a group is playing this, the competion is out of control. Buy this thing!

Being a couple years off from teenagerland myself , I probably get more frustrated with things than I would like , but thats me. My cousin has bop-it and I try it whenever I come over , so it's addictive , but it gets less and less enjoyable each visit , which is probably because bop-it's so challenging. I love to play with it when it just says the commanding words , bop-it , twist-it and pull-it , (hand-it when your playing with another person) and then , just when I think I'm going to win (if you can , I'm not sure , I never got there) it screams (annoying) and makes a drumming di-di-did noise , and then is silent. It gets more challenging as you play because it keeps getting more and more fast-paced. I have two things that I really hate about bop-it: After a-lot of tries at "Beating Bop-it" , it starts doing sounds in place of the words. As much as I try and get my brain to follow it's commands , my hands don't go fast enough and bop-it screams more than usual. Also , sometimes bop-it just makes noises and won't start! It gets really tiring to wait (sometimes a full minute or longer) for it to get over it's sillines and start a new game. One reviewer wrote that he/she brought it to school , which I strongly wouldn't reccomend anyone doing unless you love detention slips. Despite these minor-defects that I wrote about , I hope that , if you had really wanted one , my review opinion wont stop you from finding your true inner-self with bop-it. Ciao ;-)

I bought this toy for my son's 7th birthday. I think the adults at the pary enjoyed as much as the kids! It's allot of fun! I bought it because my son had showed an interest in it over the past couple of months and also I saw it mentioned at a workshop I attended for activities to do w/ your special needs child (my other son is autistic). It is educational because it encourages cooridination and following auditory instruction and following a rhythm. It's pretty simple really, while playing a fun beat it says "bop it", "twist it", "pull it", and "pass it" (if you're playing in the multiple player mode") and you just follow the instuction, if you're too slow you lose! I didn't expect it to be so much fun because it's so simple. My husband and I played w/ it so much that first night and had allot of fun w/ it! I'm determined to take to the next "grown-up" party I go to!

Absolutely brilliant toy.....probably the only one that successfully captures total concentration of *everyone* from 3 years olds to 93 year olds. My grandson got one for his birthday and within minutes his sister, Mom, Dad, grandparents, and great grandparents were all trying it and having a hard time putting it down.

Educationally the value is in learning to follow detailed instructions quickly....a skill I wish we saw more in our students where I teach (perhaps we should require Bop It as an admission requirement!), but this one is a load of pure fun for everyone.

By the way, he's had his Bop It for 4 months now, it gets fairly rough use, and is still performing well through multiple battery changes. I can't think of a better toy to recommend to anyone of any age!

I gave this a 5 for being so darn much fun, but also a 5 for educational value (not because it teaches you facts) but because it forces you to be alert and coordinated. You can't NOT pay attention to this little gadget as you respond to either the voice or tone commands. It's fun for everyone to play at once, and for you alone to practice!

Great for parties (of any age group actually!) and especially good for ice breaking. And affordable too!

Good for practice of coordination, focus, concentration. Seems pretty durable. Suitable down to 4 year olds, apparently. doesn't get boring, as it speeds up as it goes along.

Bop It is sooo much fun! The rythm and beat of it, and it does teach you coordination! The is a great toy! A+
