Bop It XT

Bop It XT, the Newest in the Line of Reflex Games from Hasbro

Keeping with the fun tradition of Bop It games preceding it, Hasbro’s Bop It XT is a great new version that fans of the game will adore. Bop It XT follows the same premise as older versions as the game issues a series of commands to be followed. Players’ concentration and coordination are put to the test while being told in random succession to pull it, bop it, twist it, flick it, spin it or, new for the XT, shake it. The new “shake it” command can be disabled.

Commands must be followed quickly as moves are timed and the game tempo increases in all four difficulty levels. Making a mistake may yield a tease from the game’s voice box! Doing well while advancing through the four difficulty levels, novice, expert, master and pro, will also prompt comment from the voice box in the form of a compliment such as, “You’re on fire!”

The lightweight, colourful hand held game is 27.5cmX26cmX8cm and with four game play modes, very inviting and addicting. The game is recommended for ages 8 and above. Solo play is great and two players challenge each other in the head to head mode. Bop It XT is an excellent party game with pass it and party modes sure to please any group no matter the combination of ages.

Parents love that the game is contained with no loose pieces and provides endless fun for the children when parents are not stealing the toy away to play themselves, of course! A feature the XT boasts that is as much for the parents as the children is a headphone socket for quiet play. The same socket can be used for a megaphone, enhancing party play. There are three levels for sound control when the socket is not used.

Equipped with the necessary 3 AAA batteries, Bop It XT is enjoyed right out of the box. A welcome addition to any game collection, Bop It XT provides entertainment that is as zany as it is a great workout for the mind.

Addictaball

Addictaball: A 3D Puzzle for Hours of Enjoyment

Addictaball is a 3D labyrinth that can be both fascinating and maddening. The entire labyrinth is contained within a 13 to 19 cm sphere. The size depends on whether the puzzle being played is the large or small version. The smaller ball surrounds of 100 sections of labyrinth, while the larger one encompasses 138 sections.

The brightly coloured sections are enclosed in a clear plastic globe, making the steel ball bearing easy to view. This durable sphere is formed in two separate halves and held together with a brightly coloured band. Addictaball is large enough to hold with both hands, which helps in manoeuvring the bearing through each section of the labyrinth. It is still difficult to maintain constant contact between the steel bearing and the section it is rolling on, despite the plastic track being fitted with sides.

Each vibrant section is noticeably marked with a number. The numbering system makes it easier to keep track of which section is next in line and also which one still needs to be mastered. Going from one section to the next is achieved by rotating the sphere with both hands. It takes steady hands and patience to keep the bearing on the correct path. This 3D labyrinth is excellent for improving hand-eye coordination.

Twisting and turning the giant sphere makes for hours of fun and is truly addicting, thus making this puzzle aptly named. No batteries are required for the Addictaball to function, which is always a plus. Having a game rendered useless due to battery failure is always disappointing. There also aren’t any buzzers, beeps, or other obnoxious sounds that can become irritating while completing a puzzle that takes concentration.

Steady hands make this 360 degree labyrinth-embracing orb a bit more user-friendly. It is perfect for ages 8 and up and makes a great gift.
