I bought this toy for my 5 year old, and was very suprised to find out that it doesnt light up. I didn't think it would have a real lazer because of the low price. I did think it would have some sort of red flash or something visable. It only has sound. I still would have bought the toy knowing that but I would have made sure my son wasnt expecting it to light up the way the picture on the box did.

My son received this toy as a birthday present. I was surprised how much fun it is. It uses infrared technology (not laser--that would be dangerous!) to target your opponents device. You wear it on your wrist and slip the "trigger" over your finger. Then, by simply moving your finger, you "shoot". It makes cool electronic firing noises to let you know it has fired. Like all games of this sort, you can easily put the device behind your back and you can't be "tagged", but really, how much fun is that? You need to eventually shoot your opponent, at which time you become vulnerable. Once your device has been hit, it beeps to let you know you have been defeated. A simple slide of a switch resets the game, and off you go again. Ages: 4+ to adult. Loads of fun, and well worth the price. The battery life is great. We haven't replaced them yet. Note: on the product description it says it takes 6 C batteries. This is incorrect. It only take two AA or AAA (I can't remember which). Regardless, it is light-weight.

it is an okay toy,though it is hard to aim. my friend and i
pretended like one of us was guarding a base, while one of us
tried to shoot the guard. there is no lazer though. and it is hard to shoot.

My 5 yr old loved this toy. He didn't quite understand the concept of having to aim one laser at the other, so I tested it out with my brother. We noticed that the lasers didn't always register when you aimed them at each other, you had to aim pretty well. There isn't an actual laser shooting across the room, just a small light at the end, but that's typical. The straps were a little loose for our 4 and 5 yr olds, but that didn't stop them from playing. These things have been all over the house and at the bottom of the toy box and used off and on for months now and no new batteries, they still work just fine.

I usually buy most toys on Amazon, or on the rare occasion I don't, I check the Amazon reviews from my phone in the toy store. BUT I (foolishly) took a leap of faith and bought this at the store without reading these reviews.

Let me tell you there was NO DOUBT in anyone's mind that there would be a red light streaming out of these puppies once you turned them on. Of course there would be...they've got pictures of the red lights all over the packaging. But NO, there is NO light. And it's not broken, that's just the way it works.

Had I purchased these on Amazon (well I probably wouldn't have after reading the reviews) I would have had proper expectations. But making a purchase after looking at the real packaging in a real store, I feel totally mislead and lied to by Spy Gear.

So shame on you, Spy Gear!
And thank you, Amazon, for this great review system!
And thank you, Amazon customers, for filling it up with (usually) valuable reviews!

It's like aiming blind because there are no lasers coming out... i guess for safety reasons that is ok. My 4 and 6 yo son thought it was broken because it just made weak sounds. My kids played with it for 5 minutes and then left it on their wrists like bracelets.
I thought it would an awesome toy for my boys but turned out to be a waste of money.

The screws on the back are SO cheap and SO tight that they totally strip out before you even get them to turn and you can replace the batteries! They are disposable toys!

This item is alright, but it is kind of difficult to get it to fire each time you want it to, and the adjusting wrist straps are very irritating to try to loosen. If the product is too loose on your wrist, when you try to fire it, it doesn't work very well, but if you tighten it down where it needs to be, it is very difficult to get off when you're done.

This toy iz off the hook!!!! Who cares if it doesn't have a light on it.......actually, that iz good cause if u were tryin to sneek up on your friend, he wouldn't see anything at u could just keep hitting him till he sees u!
