Atmosfear Interactive Board Game with DVD Review

Atmosfear Interactive Board Game with DVD
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was the first DVD board game I have ever tried, so I was interested to see how it would play out. I played it with my 11-year-old son and his 10-year-old friend. At first, they refused to play it at night because they were worried they were going to be too scared. So we tried it during the day.
In the game, you have 49 minutes to race around the board collecting each of six different colored keys. As you play, the Gatekeeper interrupts you and tries to prevent you from winning while verbally abusing the players. (It's done in a very campy style, all in fun.)
I found it difficult to keep track of what was going on in the game because of the frequent interruptions, although it was easier the second time around (which was at night because the boys declared the game not at all scary). Although the game's manufacturer claims that no game is ever the same, there is not enough variety in the Gatekeeper's actions to keep an adult interested past the third or fourth playing.
That being said, it would be a great game for a Halloween party. It's quite spooky. I'd like to try it on my son's friends after I set up the family room with black lights and spooky decorations. They'd definitely have a blast.
The game is much more fun if you end up racing the clock to beat the Gatekeeper. We were all on our feet during the last minute of play the second time through, cheering each other on and passing the dice as quickly as possible so one of us could beat the Gatekeeper. I was surprised at the teamwork evident at the end of the game. It was nice to see, after my son had tried everything to defeat me during the rest of the game.
I'd give this gane an age range of 9 to 14. Would I buy it again? Yes, but for a Halloween party or one of my son's Harry Potter birthday parties. Not for everyday use.

The gatekeeper serves as your host in this interactive game of fear and nerves. Move around the board to collect all six keys with the help of special Fate and Time cards. Used effectively, hints from the included DVD give you an edge on the competition. Frighteningly fun and different each time you play. For three to six players.

Hooked On Phonics Hip-O's Menu Match Review

Hooked On Phonics Hip-O's Menu Match
Average Reviews:

First let me say I love games where kids are learning something and having fun at the same time. I think the concept behind this game is great, but the problem falls in the letters. The idea is to flip the cards over and match the picture with the letter, but the letters are written in such a funky way on the cards, it makes it hard for a preschooler who is just learning letters to recognize them!! There are so many loops & tails on the letters, there were a few I really had to look at to figure out what they were. I did contact the company though and they said that the hooked on phonics people were already aware of this and changing the letters in the next production!! They did also send me out free of charge a copy of one of their other games (roll and read, which had the same letters!!) Anyways, my suggestion would be to check and make sure this is the "new production" before you purchase, or you will be taping your own letters on the cards like I did.... I still give it 4 stars, because once it is fixed I think it is a good choice.

Spin, flip and spell in this sizzling memory game. In Hip-O's Menu Match, just grab your spatula and collect pairs of letters and matching words. Menu Match is a hilarious way to learn letter names and letter sounds. And like all Hooked on Phonics games, there are several levels of difficulty so kids can learn and play at a skill level that is just right for them.

Leapfrog Tag Super Speller Review

The letter squares are cardboard and they are extremely hard to pull off the board. After a few times of pulling the letters in and out of their spaces, I noticed the edges on the square pieces started to pull apart.
The over all concept is really neat but the design is poor and hard for little kids to use
I recommend sticking with the books until this gets redesigned because it will not last long under normal use.

LeapFrog Tag Junior Book: ABC Animal Orchestra Review

LeapFrog Tag Junior Book: ABC Animal Orchestra
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
ABC Animal Orchestra cardboard book for the Tag Jr.
It features every letter from A-Z, sometimes displaying one letter per page, sometimes two. Each letter is accompanied by a cute animal playing a musical instrument, both the animal and the instrument's name start with the letter in question, which makes it more interesting.
I'm not sure if it was just the one I got, but my book was not bright and as such the colors did not come alive. The printing was way too dark for a child's book. Still, you get over this fact quickly enough with the great sounds that come out from each page.
So, what "interactive" parts does this book have?
- Pressing the Tag Jr. on the letters once says the letter out loud, subsequent pressings prompt the user with questions such as "Which animal's name starts with the letter D?".
- Pressing the Tag Jr. on the animals once produces the sound of the instrument he/she is holding, press again and the device ask with what letter the animal in question's name starts.
- Another activity that I found pretty fun was when you tapped your little Tag Jr. on a Cat, after a few tries the device asks you to find another cat in your book, so you have to go on and find the Jaguar or the Tiger.
- The last two pages have a spread out animal orchestra with the complete alphabet above them. Pressing on the letters plays a cute rendition of the ABC song. Pressing on the animals here has the same effect here as in previous pages with the exception that sometimes they play an instrumental version of the alphabet song, which is nice too.
Overall it's a cute book, but don't expect a story here, it's exactly what it claims to be, an ABC Animal Orchestra book.
