Author's Review
One of the coolest, and simple to use gadgets to grace the shelves this year! It's USB cable connects easily to the front of your Playstation 2, and all you have to do is pop in the included game cd and your off and playing. For Christmas I hooked this thing up for my family to play. Everyone from my six year old cousin to my seventy year old Grandpa wanted to get in there and give it a go (although it was funny to see my Grandpa punch AT the screen). Everyone was laughing and having a good time, so it proves great at parties, no matter the age. The games are a little cheesy, but what party game isn't? You can create profiles for each person (with a memory card) and the game uses different pictures of the player to indicate if the player is winning or losing. Dim rooms aren't even a real problem once you find the option for dim rooms, which considerably brightens the game. The only problem I found was that this game/toy causes kids to argue who is next to play!
