1.) Snowed in, heater out, the kids still loved this, didn't notice the cold

Although the age range for this one is noted as being for ages eight and up, I can personally testify to the fact that teens also find the Hyper Slide to be fun and challenging.

It comes equipped with five games and my son and a group of his friends spent hours in our living room, the only room with a roaring fire and some warmth, playing this game. They were laughing and cheering each other on in their attempt to slide the various colors of "pucks" or little chips under the arch of hyper slide - as soon as the recorded voice of the "game leader" told them which colored chip to select.

What is particularly clever about the Hyper Slide is its single player option. To use it for solo players, you simply take a rubber strip and insert it into the appropriate parts of the arch, converting it instantly from a 2 person game to one for an individual player. Very smart!

THere are five games of varying difficulty. The most challenging for our family was the one where a pattern of colors would be noted (red, yellow, yellow would be one example) and then an ADDITIONAL color would be added to that pattern so that the player would have to remember an increasing number of chips to slide through the arch, all in a given time limit. Try it and see how hard it can be.

Because of the different levels of difficulty, I have to rate this one high. It held our teen's attention - and those of his friends - for most of a day and has continued to be popular.

We have now purchased 4 of these games as gifts, after seeing one at a demo last summer and buying it for ourselves. It is great fun for the whole family, and you can play 1 on 1 or by yourself. I'm not much of a "gamer" but this one is great!

This little toy is great, the kids (8 and up) love playing with it. Within 5 minutes of opening the toy they were able to play with it. Very simple rules allows them to jump right in. The toy looks well made and has a convenient space to store the discs when not in use. Its also a fun game for an adult to play with their kids. You can make the game as challenging or as easy as you want by varying the distance from which the discs are thrown.

Great toy!!

Wow am I ever disappointed in amazon. They were selling this for under $20 ten days ago. Now it's $58? I just went and picked it up at Target for $18... and they had plenty of 'em.

I will never again buy from amazon without shopping around. This degree of markup is disgusting.

I got this for my 9 year old son, and he loves it. The whole family enjoys playing it. I like getting toys for my son that he actually has to do something with it, not just look at or watch. This is well made, and the disks store inside the game so they don't get lost. The game reminds me of Simon, the old game where it calls out colors and you have to touch that color and it gets faster until you mess up. This one calls colors and you send that color to the opposite player then they send the next color. I played it with my son, and my only complaint is that I wish it would keep calling colors until someone messes up, but instead it goes so long and whoever has the fastest time wins. I was able to do it no problem. I am very happy I bought it, and will probably give it as a gift.

My 7 year old son got this for Christmas this year and my husband and I love it as much as he does. Not only have we played against each other but we enjoy playing it on our own, it is rather addictive. It is small and compact enough to fit in our luggage that we plan to take it with us to Maine for our family reunion this summer. This is the perfect game to have on hand for rainy days or for when the kids complain they are bored. You honestly can't go wrong with this game, I plan to give this as birthday presents this year for all my son's friends.

Got for kids (pre teens/teens) and they love it. Concepts for memorizing and increasing speed are similar to bop it! game so if you liked that, this is a neat twist.

I purchased this for my husband and daughter for a Christmas present this year because it never fails we are always playing some kind of sliding game on the dinner table -- quarters, pennies etc. I think they have played it every day since then! It has different games and levels to play that will keep each person entertained. We are even taking it on vacation. I only wish it had a volume control and a separate on/off switch.

I bought this on a whim on black friday for my son. i saw it was for 8+ but i got such a good deal i figured if it didnt work out not too much lost but fortunately he loves it. the first one i bought however didnt work properly. the blue disc didnt register when you slid it under but after exhanging it the new one works fine. so hold onto your receipt just in case. the unit stores the 4 discs in a panel that slides off on the side(the black part)so you wont lose any pieces when you are not playing. there's even an elastic band you can place under the unit that allows you to play by yourself. the band bounces the disc back to the single player which i thought was a very nice touch. there are 5 different games you can play. the first one you try to slide as many correct discs as possible in sixty seconds. the second is the same as the first but must be played with two players. the first player to score 3 points wins and you win by correctly sliding the discs the game designates to each player. the third is called add one and with each pass the game will add another color to a growing sequence(think of simon says; red, blue, green, blue, red, red), the fourth is the same as the second but with a growing sequence. and the last one is called code buster and you have to decipher a code secretly determined by the game.

all in all i think this game is very well thought out and real fun for almost anyone.

Whether you are going solo or with 2, 3, 4 or more players, this one is totally fun and fast! I highly recommend this, it is so worth the price. The only drawback is someone getting way too intense on keeping it going - then laughing and starting over.

I appreciate the fact that all pieces are stored within the unit. The only thing I have to complain about at all is the fact that sometimes I simply can not hear what color is being called out. The game is not one of the annoying ones that are so loud you can't stand to turn it on - but you better listen good!

Totally fun and fast!

Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide


Hyper Slide is total FUN! It's the ideal game for camping, lounging around at home or as a way to pass time on an outing.

This game helps you to concentrate, listen, and react as quickly as you can to get the discs through. It has three different game challenges that allow you to choose your comfort zone.

Hyper slide does not give you a lot of time to chat and converse--the object of the game is speed and concentration. If your children need to improve their listening and attention skills this is a must have for them. They will have to concentrate and listen to WIN!

If you want a game that you can enjoy with your kids but does not require a lot of "brain work" then this is the game for you. You can play it on a table or on the floor and it can easily fit in your bag.

Grandparents will even enjoy playing this game. Need I say more?

Such a simple concept but so much fun! My son & his friends especially enjoy code buster. Of course it's more fun with a friend but he can enjoy it by himself too with the "hyper band".

Everyone from our 8 year old through our high school cousins right up to my husband and I - love this game. It's got three settings. One is sliding the chips underneath (by yourself or with a partner) based on the color they call out. They keep track of how many you achieve in a set period of time. They call out the record for this round and keep the all time record. This seems like a great way to learn your colors. For our gang it is a test of reflexes, and completely addictive. You can't believe how much you want to break those reoords. They also have a game where you try to break a four color code. They track how long it takes you. For those of us who are more into puzzles then reaction time -this give us a game to hold a record in. The final game is where they keep adding a color and you have to memorize the order - kind of like Simon. Great memory game. Lots of laughter - fun for adults, teens and children to play together and everyone is challenged!

After my 5 year old son requested this game I did my research and found that most small children enjoy it as well. I found this to be true. It is fast paced and took some getting used to due to his age, he has enjoyed it the challenge. It is like a puzzle in that you have to figure out which colors need to be passed through, you have to memorize the ones that are right and then figure what is next with a time going at the same time. You can play one player or two. My son is having to think quick on his toes and how good is that for him!

Love it, love it, love it. Hyperslide is a great interactive toy that multiple ages can play together or alone. It helps build memory skills and initiates thinking fast to react to the colors called out by the game itself. Seems to be quite durable thus far. The only reading required would be the instructions to learn how to play. Wonderful to incorporate younger children to play, benefits learning disabled that may not read as well as others since no reading is required to play the game.

I purchased these as gifts for an 11yo girl and two 12yo boys. The children really enjoyed playing with the Hyper Slide. The great thing about this toy is that it has a one player mode which is great when a child has no one with whom he/she can play. It also has built-in storage for the disks which is nice. There are several game options that can be played on this one toy. That keeps the game from becoming monotonous. The downside to this toy is that there is no "Off" switch, so there are several minutes of it verbally prompting you to "choose a game". It does turn itself off, but it takes awhile. The only alternative is to remove the batteries.

Overall my kids really liked this toy and the various games they can play on it. It is fun by yourself or with a friend, and the price is reasonable. A great gift indeed!

For people who enjoy memory games, hyper slide is as much fun for children as teens or adults. Anyone who likes to challenge him or herself on remembering patterns or figuring out patterns will like playing. On the upside, it can be played with one player for when your 11 year old wants to play and an opponent isn't available. On the downside, the 'voice' is pretty loud and you can't control the volume so it's not conducive to playing in the same room as someone doing homework!

I bought this for my 9 yr old nephew for Christmas. He was much more interested in his Xbox, unfortunately, to give it much attention. And he lost one of the disks almost right away, but it does have a handy holding spot. Once we found the disk (took a couple days) I showed him where to keep them, but expect that they will get lost again. At any rate, despite that he did not get into the game, I really liked it and so did my five year old. he stuck to only two games (one that is like simon says and another where it tells you which disk to slide under and you have limited time). The rest of the games were a bit too complicated. And those two games even got to be too hard for him after a bit. So, if you have an slightly older child (maybe 6 and up?), that actually plays with something other than their video game machine and is slightly responsible to not lose pieces, then this is a great buy. Adults will enjoy it too and you can play together.

There are basically 4 game variations some of which can be played against a second player. I would have given a 4 star rating except the rounds don't seem to have any set duration so it's pretty hard to compete for the highest score or try to beat your record. Sometimes the game will end after 3 seconds and sometimes after 20. My 7 year old was able to figure out how to start a new game and choose between games but my 4 year old couldn't and was frustrated when the game was over in 5 seconds and he wasn't able to start a new one.

I thought this game looked really fun. My kids immediately lost the single player net, and then only played this a couple of times. Easy storage, parts store easily in the main unit.

70.) Too spazzy for my liking

QUICK SUMMARY: This fast-paced (I call it "spazzy") game requires razor sharp reflexes and a very focused mind. I usually play games to relax, but this game doesn't relax me -- rather, is stresses me out!

What was I thinking?

On the strength of great Amazon reviews, I bought this as a present for my 13-year-old son this past Christmas. Last year, I bought another electronic game solely on the strength of Amazon reviews, Bulls Eye Baseball, which we all enjoyed (me especially, as I got pretty good at the game).

This Christmas, I'm not much of a contender for the faster reflexes of my 13yo. Okay, so maybe my 2-star review is just because I'm a grumbling loser. I'd like to think not, of course, so here's why I don't care for this game:

One, there is no volume control. In loud settings, it can be hard to hear the announcer call out the color puck, and it's frustrating to lose a game because you couldn't hear the announcer's voice. In quiet settings, the voice is too loud.

Two, it'd have been better to include 4-color LED lights so the game could optionally be played noiselessly without any need for any announcer voice at all. And "noiselessly" means being able to turn-off that stupid background music, too.

Three, opening the cover to the pucks can lead to an explosion where the hard-to-remove lid suddenly flies off, and the pucks scatter everywhere. Why couldn't it have had a simpler, more elegant design, where it's just a slide-out drawer?

Four, there is no on/off button. When you want the game to end, there is an automatic shut-off mechanism, but who wants to listen to the music and announcer drone on and on as you wait for the stupid game to just SHUT UP already! The only easy way to get the game to shut up and turn off is to use a pointy object to depress the reset button.

Five, we thought the game was actually broken when we first tried using it -- it turned on and spoke to us, but the game wouldn't register the colored pucks passing underneath the archway. Turns out, the loose batteries we installed from the "junk drawer" were half-spent and didn't provide enough voltage to run the game properly. The game should have recognized this and said, "Low battery power - please replace all batteries before playing this game." We almost packed it up and shipped it back to Amazon before realizing it was a "user error."

Six, I just don't like games that are spazzy and require fast reflexes. I play games to relax and laugh. If you like the card game Dutch Blitz, you'll probably like this game, too, as it's just as frenetic. I hate Dutch Blitz because it's frenetic.

My kids have played the game solo and against each other, but none seem to be as fascinated with the game as much as other Amazon reviewers have been when they began playing. I'm guessing that it'll get shoved underneath the microwave oven -- where all of our games are stowed -- a few days after New Year's Day, and we'll hardly ever play it in 2010.

You can see from the many 4- and 5-star reviews that most people really like this game, however. Consider my review, then, as a counter-balance to all those positive reviews, so if you pull the trigger and buy this game, you'll really know what you're getting, and how well you're likely going to enjoy playing it.

I tried this for about 3 minutes to try it out before handing it over to my son, but it stopped working correctly before he could even try it. But with all of today's video game technology, I don't think this one would have held his attention for very long, anyway. We were able to return it without a problem.

Purchased for a 7yr old, they just never got into it. The sensor didn't read the colors accurately, they wanted to play faster than it could handle the speed of the pucks.

It was a Xmas gift for my 10 year old granddaughter and it wasn't easy to figure out the instructions and she is very intelligent and I am too for that matter. But, she really did not seem as interested as I thought she would and it was very disappointing for me to see my grandchild not get the wonderful Xmas gift I envisioned....and hoped this would be. Sorry, this game is not that involved for very intelligent children and even the younger children seemed bored with it.

My 8-year-old saw ads for this last year and was so anxious to get it for Christmas. Well, he did. He played it a few times, became more than bored, and stuffed it in his closet never to have surfaced again.

Features of Electronic Hyperslide

Be quick as you flick, slide or shoot the different-colored hyper discs under the arch. As the game unit calls out the sequence of colors for you to pass, the game "knows" if you've passed the right disc or not. Pass 'em fast before the buzzer blasts! Obey the voice commands, get your brain in the game and break the code, or guess which color will be called next. Play with a friend or practice solo.

Tabletop slide-and-pass excitement features electronic lights and sounds, plus an announcer's voice that talks you through three fast-sliding game modes. Electronic game unit comes with four Hyper Discs, each a different color; plus Hyper Band and instructions. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included). For 1 or 2 players.

Be quick, pick the right colored hyper disc, and flick it under the arch before time runs out. The Hyper Slide from Hasbro packs three fast-paced electronic table-top games into one compact unit. Recommended for ages eight and up, these fast-sliding games for one or two players are fun and exciting for kids and adults.

The hyper discs can be conveniently stored in a compartment on the side of the arch. View larger.

Fun, Futuristic Table Top Game
With its sleek, arched design, Hyper Slide looks like a futuristic game. Resembling a hockey game for a table top, the object is to flip the pucks through the goal. However, in these games the goal can be scored from both sides of the arch, and there are four different-colored pucks, called hyper discs. The game's electronic unit calls out a color, and you must pick that color and sent it through the arc. It automatically detects whether you've passed the right disc or not. When not in operation, the hyper discs can be conveniently stored in a compartment on the side of the arch.

Three Games for Solo Play or Two-Person Play
The Hyper Slide offers a few variations of play for your enjoyment. Two lighted buttons on the top of the Hyper Slide make it easy to choose which of the three games you want to play.

While the objects of the games are simple, playing them can be a fun challenge. The first game, "Fast Pass," is all about speed. The game commands a color and you've got to pass it through the goal quickly before the buzzer blasts. With "Add One," you've got to remember the order of colors. You start with a color and add one to the sequence each time you complete a round. "Code Buster" gives you 90 seconds to decipher the secret series of colors.

Best of all, you can play all these games with a friend or by yourself. With both "Fast Pass" and "Add One," you can even play head-to-head with another player or team. For solo play, the rubber "hyper band" is attached under the arch, bouncing the discs back to your side.

Put to the Test
Playing on any smooth, nonmetal surface, you'll be surprised how much fun the Hyper Slide really is. An announcer's voice, high-energy music, and sound effects move these games along. With your head in the game, you'll soon block out all the noise and only hear the color to flick, slide, or shoot through the arch. Unfortunately, if the constant voice directions are not your thing, the game can't be played without these sounds, nor can the volume be adjusted. On the plus side, the Hyper Slide announces your score at the end of each competition and keeps track of the highest score for each game. This electronic system runs on three "AAA" batteries (sold separately). If the Hyper Slide goes unused for two minutes, this smartly designed toy "goes to sleep," saving battery life until the player buttons are pressed.
