3.0 out of 5 stars Nerf a Blast, but for the kiddos!, November 3, 2008

This review is from: Nerf-N-Strike Bundle (Video Game)

My boys, ages 5 and 6, desperately wanted this game. We have Nerf Wars at home all the time, and they were originally thinking you shot nerf darts at the tv as part of the game. We purchased the game, and they have played it for quite some time. As for the gameplay, there are boy friendly graphics and sounds. The voices that speak to you are futuristically robotic, but they do provide directions which is nice since the boys can't read them yet. You unlock Nerf weapons along the way as you score points. Each weapon shoots differently: think firing speed, power, and accuracy. There are a ton of guns to earn, and we don't have all of them yet. If you have problems passing one of the game levels, you can go back to choose a different weapon and try again. Maybe you need more firing power or better aim. There are portions where you have to shoot at only certain colored robots and miss the others, as well as a portion that resembles Boom Blox as you topple towers of blocks with your shots. Most of the time we play games as family. This one bored my husband and I pretty quickly, but the boys are still really enjoying it. I was hoping for a little more from it, especially after all the hype and coming from such a big name like Nerf. In conclusion, not a bad game, but not a house favorite.

UPDATE: Many people have commented the guns are now available for individual purchase. Yeah! Good to know. Thanks!

4.0 out of 5 stars 5 year old and Daddy love it, December 13, 2008

This review is from: Nerf-N-Strike Bundle (Video Game)

We bought this for my son's 5th birthday. From the moment he opened this he was ready to play. B.O.B. the robot helper tells you everything from a brief gun description to what to do on each level, this really helps since my son cannot read just yet. My husband took over for a bit and had a blast. The gun adapter really adds to the fun and you just pull the trigger like you are really shooting, which is nice. We are going out tomorrow to pick up another gun so father and son can play together. This is a must for any boy.

This review is from: Nerf-N-Strike Bundle (Video Game)

Received as a Christmas gift, the boys, 8 and 9, love the game. (we were able to purchase a separate gun for around $15 at Best Buy) As for Adults, not so much fun, definately a shooting gallery game, but as a mom, it's great on the non violence aspect. I think it is worth the money, the gun remote is a plus for the boys.
