Product Description

Editorial Review

Once kids have gotten the hang of the wild action of GoGo TV Video Vision console (not included), they’re going to want to expand their horizons. And that means…Whac-A-Mole, of course! With the video camera trained on their every move, players actually appear on their TV screen. Standing well back from the screen, players use the wireless mallet to bop those pesky virtual moles whenever they pop up. Whack as many moles as possible while the music still plays, then advance to the next, faster, crazier level. Don’t be surprised if the moles move beyond the prairie to the city or even the moon! Sure, it’s a bit violent, but at least kids aren’t only exercising their fingers on a joystick—they will truly work up a sweat with GoGo TV video games. Parents will undoubtedly need to supervise the 5- to 8-feet back from the TV rule, at least at first, or there will be a lot of whacked TVs in living rooms! Two AAA batteries required (not included). --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars If the main console works for you then get this game, December 6, 2006

By	David A. Bayliss "DAB" (Delray Beach, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have reviewed the whole console seperately and all of the comments about light etc also apply to this game. This review is about the whac-a-mole game ASSUMING the main console works for you.

Put simply the whac a mole game is excellent and is a significant improvement upon any of the game in the box.

Firstly it can be played with or without the supplied mallet. The mallet ADDS the feature that you get more points for hitting harder. On the down side the mallet IS quite heavy; 10 minutes of play with the mallet for an adult is enough to give serious muscle ache the following day. For a young child I think the prospect of doing serious damage either to self, siblings or the product would be too high to allow the mallet to be used.

Without the mallet the game is still great fun; you just pound the little critters with your fists. It allows one or multiple children to play at the same time and as each level progresses the scenery changes and the moles start appearing faster, or even running away or jumping around.

The game is simple enough for a three year old and yet can be challenging enough (especially with a mallet) to act as an aerobic work out for an adult. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Whack me in the head please, January 25, 2006

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought the Go Go Video Vision for Christmas for my 6-year-old, and aside from needing TONS of light, it works great. However, we put the Whac-a-Mole cartridge in and only half the screen worked. [...]
