- a hit with 8 year olds
- Bought this for my son's 8th birthday. He and 2 other 8 year old boys played it and loved it. We've played it inside and out. A nice alternative to video games!

- Great fun, it didn't break after 4 months
- For any technical details and minutia, I suggest that you look up Amazon's official review because I could not possibly be as thorough or as knowledgeable.
Now, this is what I can say from my own perspective: we have 2 pre-tween boys, one 5 yr. old girl, 2 dogs and about a dozen kids living in the neighborhood and showing up just about every day in the summer for the pool and the trampoline. We bought this from Amazon back in May and everyone loved it, including the dogs. So, for most of this summer, whenever they decided to play Hyper Dash, we were having the kids running around as directed, the dogs running after the kids and myself, trying to focus on the stuff I was supposed to be studying (for an exam). Based on other reviews, the game can be played indoors as well. We never allowed it but, as the weather turns colder, we may allow them to play in the basement whenever they get together for some fun.
Now, talking about things the kids 'learn'... let's not exaggerate :). Sure, there is a level of the game where the kid has to compute 3-2 quickly but, come on, there's not A LOT to learn. It's mostly physical and that's how the kids play it and it's good this way. They ARE running a lot but do not expect to see better grades in school.
What you do not see in the Amazon official review it's the durability factor. I am pleased to state that, after 4 months and, probably 20-30 hours of play, nothing broke yet. I expect the game to be still unbroken after one year. - 2008-09-26, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Fun, Fun, Fun! Great rainy day activity
- This is a simple but very fun game. You can put the targets close or move them further apart to get moving more. The is a great rainy day game and will keep them happy and busy for at least an hour then they will be ready to chill for a while.

- grandkids all ages love it
- The first delivery fizzled within hours of opening the package. BUT,
Amazon agreed to expedite and ship replacement immediately along with a free return mailer for the first one. Kids aged 4 up to 11, and all adults have been enjoying the variety of educational games available on this incredible toy for weeks now. And none of the kids has commented on the fact that they are getting lots of exercise as a bonus.
We'll be buying several as Holiday gifts for the families on our list. - 2008-08-30, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
