Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Wage turbo-top battle like never before with the official Battle Striker Tournament Set. Recommended for ages six and older, this versatile set comes with two exclusive Battle Strikers -- Turbine and Mauler. These are no ordinary tops: by using the power of magnets, you can actually direct where your tops go as they're spinning in the Battle Striker arena.

Battle Strikers Tournament Set
    Ages: 6+

    Requires:
  • 6 "AA" batteries (not included)
What We Think

Fun factor:
Durability:
Ease of assembly:
Novelty factor:

The Good: Magnet mechanism allows you to control strikers as they spin; able to build custom strikers.

The Challenging: Arena might be too small for more intense battles.

In a Nutshell: An ideal Battle Strikers starter set, complete with 2 strikers and an arena.


Battle Strikers allow you to control your striker with the power of magnetism. View larger.

A New Top for a New Generation
Battle Strikers might resemble a traditional top toy on the surface, but there's more here than meets the eye. Each Battle Striker has its own name and features. They have differing designs and themes, and come in varying sizes and hefts. Each top really is individual and distinct. Their differing sizes and densities shape how each of them handles in "battle." The two included with this set are Mauler -- a ferocious top that specializes in quick attacks -- and Turbine, whose heavy weight helps him defend against attacks.

Each striker consists of a large ring, a magnetic ball bearing, a ball aligner, and a smaller ring. The parts interlock easily, making assembly quick. You can even mix and match parts from different strikers to make your own, personalized striker. There are currently a dozen different Battle Strikers available on the market. You can collect them all to complete your striker collection, or use their parts to build a brand new striker.

Battle Your Friends
Battles begin by using the launcher to fire your striker. Powered by six "AA" batteries, the launchers stick to the magnets in the striker. When you're ready to launch, you simply press the launcher's trigger to "rev" the striker and tap the launcher with your fist. This will send your strikers spinning into battle. We were impressed by the speeds they could reach; collisions between two strikers are quite forceful.

With traditional tops, you usually can't control a top's direction after you've sent them spinning. However, Battle Strikers come with a special glove, which uses the power of magnets to control where your tops go. The glove is worn over your fingers, and allows you to control your top's movements. This opens up options in battle significantly: instead of leaving it up to chance, you can actually plan your attacks. Controlling the tops does take a bit of finesse, but with some practice, you'll be well on your way to becoming a Battle Striker master.

The Tournament Set also comes with a sturdy plastic arena. Its surface is hard and slick, providing an ideal space for your strikers to spin on. However, while the space is enough to accommodate two battling tops, some players might find the arena restricting. Battles involving two or more tops will have to be staged on a larger battleground. The arena also features six slots to store your Battle Strikers in.

What's in the Box
Arena, two launchers, two tops with components, and two magnetic gloves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to start with battling tops, August 31, 2009
By Brian A. Roush (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Battle Strikers Tournament (Toy)
Battle Strikers are a new take on the classic battling tops theme of toys. The Battle Strikers Tournament set comes with everything you need to get started - 2 tops, 2 launchers, the arena, plus the addition of 2 "controllers".

On the top of the tops are 4 areas which contain magnets. These line up with 4 magnets on the bottom side of the launcher. To get the tops spinning, you stick the top to the launcher, pull the trigger, and rev it up. Then you hit the top of the launcher with your other hand to pop the top down into the arena. You have to be carful! These things spin fast, have hard protruding edges, and sometimes hop out of the arena - especially if there's a hard surface (wood table or floor) under it. I recommend placing the arena on carpet to help absorb some of the shock.

The arena is ok - it's fairly thin plastic. If it gets stepped on, it'll probably break, but the tops don't seem to do any damage to it. It has a spot on each side to store 3 tops, so 6 in total. Unfortunately, there's no case, and the tops, launchers, and controls don't "snap" in anywhere. So maybe save the box to put everything in when you're not using it.

The launchers are pretty good. They take 3 AA's each, so you'll need 6 total. The only way to get the tops spinning is with these. There's no rip cord like the old days, and no manual way to crank them up. I do see that sometimes the launchers spin very smoothly, and other times it's rattling like crazy. It can do both with the same exact top, so I'm not sure why. Either way, they do the job, but I think down the line one launcher might become the favorite if the other seems to wear out faster.

The tops are customizable and modular. They come as six parts each. The variations of the parts determine what makes the top better in terms of "Attack", "Defense", and "Control". The widest part of the top is actually two pieces that give different shapes to the areas where the tops collide. The bottom piece is either made of a metal marble or a plastic spindle. The marble gives a more consistent, controllable spin and the top won't wander as much. The plastic spindle makes contact with the ground on a small cylinder. Because of this, if it spins on an angle, it'll run all over the arena. This makes it more aggressive. You can also mix and match the pieces of the different tops.

You control, or steer, the tops by putting the controller thing on your fingers. It contains a magnet in it which attracts the magents on the top surface of the top. In this way, you can help guide your top toward/away from your opponent. You have to get the controller fairly close to the top, and the downside of this is that if you're not careful you end up getting the top stuck to it. When you get close, you can actually feel a little vibration in your fingers as the three outer magnets spin past.

Some watchouts:
-Of the tops included in the set, the green top always seems to win.
-Kids can get hurt with these. My son got hurt a couple times when one bounced out of the arena into his stomach.
-Also, younger kids may have a harder time dropping the top into the arena.
-Anyone that tries to pick one up at full speed will have some sore fingers. Short of taking one to the head, though, and it's nothing that won't wear off after a few minutes.

Overall, the game is very fun. The modular aspect adds some learning and expirimentation aspect for the kids. I did find that the green top usually wins in my set, even after swapping the marble for the spindle. It must just be something about its design. The tops are fairly inexpensive, so they make good impromptu gifts, stocking stuffers, or cheaper items on a birthday list. The instructions say to have each player pick three tops each and play "best 2 out of 3". At five dollars per top, that would put this starter set plus four additional tops at a total of $40-50. I think that's a bit expensive to get started, so don't feel compelled to buy that much all at once. I definitely recommend getting either this starter set or at least buy the arena. Extra tops can then be purchased later on if your child really shows interest in them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Battle Strikers is okay, December 30, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Battle Strikers Tournament (Toy)
I bought this for my 12 year old. He thought it was pretty neat at first, but it is occasional entertainment. It is not a preferred toy for him. My only two criticisms of the Battle Strikers are 1) that the "arena" is not constructed out of sturdy material and if stepped on, it will not survive. I am constantly on the lookout to make sure it is not lying on the floor. 2) the cost of the "tops" that spin off of the hand devices is around $15 each (you get two with the game). So if you were to buy two more BS spinning tops, you might as well buy a whole 2nd game.

This review is from: Battle Strikers Tournament (Toy)
I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and we both played with it for a long time. He loves it! The strikers were a little hard to control with the magnetic finger but it was still fun. It comes with 2 strikers but buy more so that more than 2 people can play at a time. I really recommend this product.
