Hasbro Games Reviews

My son loves the idea of this game, but is it really fun when the parts don't fit correctly into the holes? He sometimes needs my help. Some pieces fit, some don't and the game pieces broke within a week. I sent the game back and received a new one but the problem is the same. Get more detail about Cootie.

Bought the Memory Dora game for my Granddaughter's 4th birthday. She plays this game all the time, and of course she wins! Everyone plays with her: Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Aunts, etc. It's a great gift for any age, and lots of fun for all. Get more detail about Memory Game - Dora the Explorer Edition.

This is an awesome chess set. The detail in the transformers is amazing. They are sturdy and durable. Very nice overall!Get more detail about Transformers Chess Set.

Our family is a huge fan of the Simpsons. This game is so funny and you don't need to know anything about the show to play it! It came brand new and I would recommend the seller to anyone!Get more detail about Sorry Simpsons.

I bought this for my 6 year old for Christmas. It is too heavy for him to wear as a helmet. I have a 9 year old as well. It is too heavy for him too. If you are just a collector of Star Wars, you'll love it. But it is to heavy to be used as a toy helmet. Pretty cool though.Get more detail about Star Wars Clone Wars Captain Rex Helmet.

In the car, on long trips, it occupied the kids for hours on end. That makes it a valuable tool and not just a toy.Get more detail about Electronic Hand Held Connect Four.

I just bought this tonight at a resale shop. One of my 5 year twins has been mixing up a couple of her vowels when she spells words. She has been playing with it for 1/2 hour now and loves is. She has the words covered up and is doing a great job. I love that fact that it has 3 letter and 4 letter words. We will use this throughout the summer before 1st grade. I don't even care if they use it as a game, with more than one person...it is a wonderful, self correcting educational toy. Glad I found it tonight!!Get more detail about Boggle Junior Letters.

This is literally my favorite board game! It takes some time to get the hang of it, but once you do, it is definitely worth it. The game is complex and engaging and just so much fun! I would recommend this game to ANY Clue fans or those who get tired of the same old clue game. A new twist on a great game!Get more detail about Clue DVD Game.

Funny that my 7 year old doesn't play this much with pencil and paper, but he loves it in this format. I like it, too, and it is our most frequently played game at home.

CONSTRUCTION AND DURABILITY

I am not sure about the other reviews, but our tiles are not see-through. The cases and tiles are well-made and I expect will last a long time.

GAME PLAY

As in classic hangman, we choose a word. The other player guesses the letters and tries to figure out the word. For every missed guess, a part of the man is drawn. In this game, there is a dial to turn to build the man. Unlike the pencil and paper version, since there are two boards and the people are built in exactly the same order and body parts, two people play against each other. First person to build the man loses.

SUMMARY

A great buy and fun way to play with the kids.

Let me start by saying I have no children but have been a Star Wars collector since the start.

The game play is simple as you'd expect. Turns consist of rolling the die and moving on the board. The spaces tell the you to draw a new card or fight. The "fighting" involves each player secretly selecting a card from their hand and then revealing them with the higher card winning. Each character also has some "special" cards in their deck that can do various things like drawing extra cards.

Your character's health is shown by six, two-sided tiles that make a picture of the person. If you lose a fight you flip one piece over to the damaged side. Once all six tiles are damaged, you lose.

From a collector's standpoint I'd say you're better off spending your money on the figure packs if you like Galactic Heroes. I think the 2 figures in the game are straight repacks, so nothing new there. The game board does make a nice little are to display your figures though! The other components are decent and seem like they'd stand up to repeated play. I imagine young kids would probably enjoy the game a few times and would play with the figures outside the game.

It could be made into a travel game without needing the board and figures with a little rules revision.Get more detail about Star Wars Galactic Heroes Game OBI-WAN vs General Grievous.

My boys are 4 and 6. I know the age this toy is designed for is a bit older, but I decided to take a chance because my youngest said he wanted a "gun that shoots" for Christmas.

I am not disappointed and neither are they! They play with this endlessly. It's been used every single day since Christmas and I'm sure they will be playing with it well into spring. They love the dart guns and that the darts stick to clothes.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase.Get more detail about Nerf Dart Tag Furyfire 2 Player Set - Green/Orange.

We love this game. I always loved Memory as a child, and am so glad to have found such an appealing version... most of the ponies are so pretty!

There are lots and lots of cards, so what we do is each pick several pairs of our favorites. So we start with a sort of "matching" game, both the 2 yr old and 6 yr old enjoy it. Then we lay out the game (way less than the total # of cards) and have fun trying to get our "own" cards (the ones we picked), our favorites. When we don't, it's a great lesson in sportsmanship. This method eliminates any problems with similar looking ponies, though I agree maybe it's almost a good thing to have to pay close attention to detail. Besides, most kids could probably name each pony on sight, regardless how similar they look to each other! It's an unfair advantage for the children! :)Get more detail about My Little Pony Memory Game.

I bought this for my 3 year old last year. He has not played with it much and I doubt if he can even locate a couple of the pins! He played with it for about 2 weeks and soon grew tired of setting them up over and over again, while I grew tired of the noise they made when he would "strike". I guess the final straw came when he hit his couisn with one of the exremely hard pins. Well, so much for Silly Pins....Get more detail about Electronic Talking Silly 6 Pins by hasbro.

My daughter was dying for this thing. It was 25 at target, but I got it on Amazon for 7!! I would have been angry had I paid 25. It was fun watching people put the goofy thing on their heads and nodding around, but it was unreliable in sensing yes nods vs. no nods. Perhaps the biggest issue for me, the parent, is that it did NOT all fit back in the box. We are a big game family, and when the game can not be put back in the box, pieces are lost and thus the game is useless. Get more detail about No Brainer.

We have had versions of this game for years. The one we ordered is not as durable as our old set and has a lot more graphics which is a bit confusing but fun. I wish they had heavier marbles and thicker cardboard.Get more detail about Aggravation.

My 6 year old son recieved this for Christmas and was so very happy. We got out all the pieces and he started playing with it instantly. The gun is just a little too long for my 6 year old to handle. Also the gun has gotten jammed a couple times. If the bullets aren't perfect the clip will get jammed up and has caused my son a little frustration. I think once he gets a little bigger and can reload the clip better it will be a much better toy.. but for now it's just OK.Get more detail about Hasbro Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6 (Colors and Styles May Vary).

I honestly don't know how people gave this thing such good reviews. My 5 year old son and I are almost in tears trying to get this thing to work. The mouth doesn't stay open that well, and when it does stay open, it takes a one-in-a-million shot to get it to close the mouth and eject the ball. 99% of the time, the ball gets stuck inside the mouth and you have to go over, try to get it to prop up and retrieve your ball manually.

On the off chance that you do get the perfect shot that triggers the ball return, the gator's mouth is still closed and you have to open it before you can take another shot, which seems to defeat the purpose of the ball return!

Thought this would be a fun indoor game for the kids when the weather got cold, instead it's way more frustration than it's worth! Ours will probably end up in the trash because we already tossed the box and packaging :(Get more detail about Gator Golf.

Stratego is a great game, just make sure you get the version you are familiar with. If you've never played before, then this is a must buy for you. Get more detail about Stratego-Milton Bradley Board Games.

For my 10 yr old for xmas. We use indoor and out. You really have to aim well, because the velcro cross must hit the board directly head on in order to stick to the velcro board. Gives him something to do mostly when he's indoors. But he was thrilled to get it and everyone enjoys playing with it. GOGGLES included and you should WEAR THEM because a dart did bounce off the board and into my face even from 10 ft away. Get more detail about Nerf Dart Tag Targeting Set - Green.

I purchased this toy for my girls.. age 4, 11, & 12. They absolutely adore it. They play with it on a regular basis and have for quite some time now. They enjoy the pet shop design and it makes it really fun for kids of smaller ages. Get more detail about Monopoly Littlest Pet Shop.

Simple but fun game. You get four of your colored discs in a row before your opponent and you win.
Bought it for my 7yr old grandson who definitely enjoys beating his dad.
Also, although there are the discs, cleanup is easy and fast.
Thank you.

My daughter received this as a gift at 20 months and loved it (she's not interested in it much at all now at 2 1/2). My son began playing with it around 7 months and plays with it every day still now that he's 12 months. There are few toys he really gets interested in, so I am extremely thankful for this toy!

There are three pieces (alligator, tree, elephant) that you can remove or stack. Air blows up through them and makes the elephant ears spin, the alligator chomp, and the tree top spin. Fun for a baby to watch. A ball pins around in the middle circle and another ball bobbles up as the air pushes it. Both balls are removable. The monkey in the tree is not a removable piece--it just pops up when you press the ladybug to start the toy.

We use these in gym when it rains- The kids love it so I had to get three.Get more detail about Twister Dance DVD - Milton Bradley Interactive Games.

We had so much fun after dinner. Its hard to believe how the mind works when trying to guess some of the drawings and ideas people came up with to get their point across. I recommend this as truly a fun family game.Get more detail about Pictionary.

My son mastered the original cube, and had a lot of fun doing it. The first couple turns of this cube resulted in the little tiles falling out, before we knew it the whole thing had fallen apart. Do not buy this, it was very disappointing. Get more detail about Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 4.

I've just started playing Risk again after not playing for a couple of years. I'm so stoked to be back in the flow- this is a great game and a real brain-stretcher with level after level of strategy.

You can really learn a lot about your friends or family when you take them on to achieve dominion over the world.

Another thing I like about Risk is it's readily amenable to making your own variations- we like to discount all ties (instead of rewarding them as an army knocked off by the defender). That alone would make defending virtually impossible, so we also let the defender roll 3 white dice if he has 3 armies in the country being attacked. We've named it "Steroid Risk" because it feels more muscular and aggressive. The attacker is able to wreak massive slaughter- but he must watch overextending perhaps even more than under the traditional rules.

Rewarding agressive play also shortens the game somewhat- we can generally conclude a game in 4 or 5 hours (even with three grizzled Risk addicts), while the game used to take 8 to ten hours under the old rules.

I don't like any version but the 80's version with the plastic singles, 3's, 5's and 10's- none of this mission crap (Ewww- that's so Eurotrash)..

I could go into the depths my strategy has evolved into, but that would be telling!


I hope Risk is undergoing as renaissance in popularity- I can't think of a better game for an all-nighter. Break out the cigars, beverages and get down to it.

Risk is one of the all-time classics.Get more detail about Risk.
