5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME, November 13, 2006

This review is from: Wild Planet Verticon Air Battle Arena (Toy)

GREAT GAME. My son (11) and I have a blast with it. It actually works like it does on TV. It's a lot of fun. There may be some minor adjustments in the beginning to get the "air flow" just right but the manufacturers did a good deal by making this a "plug in" deal rather than batteries because the air flow remains constant. Occasionally the battle balls will fly out too soon and you have to throw them back in for a good fight. It's really not a big deal.

This is a game that a child or (Mom <grin>) can play with a partner or by themselves and have a great time. We've even gone out and gotten some more "Battle Balls" not because we NEED them but because we wanted more battles and weapons. Just keep away from playful kitties.

4.0 out of 5 stars Air flow critical, December 25, 2006

This review is from: Wild Planet Verticon Air Battle Arena (Toy)

One of the hazards of Christmas is that during the absolute pandemonium that accompanies multiple children opening multiple presents in minimal amounts of time is that directions get lost. In this case I could find nothing regarding the importance of removing two of the three bottom baffle plates that otherwise decrease air flow to the point where the 'warriors' could barely bestir themselves from the bottom of the 'stadium.' Once this corrected the unit seemed to function reasonably well and my kids (ages 4 and 7) really seemed to enjoy it although victories are sometimes hard to distinguish from the randomness of the air flow.

I have to say, this has definitely been fascinating. My husband missed the part in the instructions about the throttle, so at first nobody was enthused with this, but once we realized how to really operate the unit with the throttle, WOW! all 3 of my boys (husband included) have had fun watching the "battles" in mid-air and guessing who would "win".
