very badly built: leisure time sports and games room

This toy is very flimsy and not worth the price, it breaks with minimal use. Very disappointing, poor player action and controls.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Little things

Broke instantly good for air hockey

I bought this for my son for Christmas and we opened it up the next day and one of the connectors on the bottom that helps move parts broke when we started playing. Very disappointing!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Excellent return service

Easy to assemble but even easier to return. Absolutely cheap materials and it really doesn't work. It was very similar to the one I played with as a kid, so I figured I'd found the perfect fit for my kids. Not correct.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Modern

Monday was ah. Suitable for Air Hockey

Pre-punched plastic mounting holes were misaligned and crooked. I had to use scissors to fix the problem in several areas to get the pieces to stand up. Everything else works great and my son will love it.

Pros
  • Free for Educational Use
Cons
  • Contact Seller

Supplied in a plain brown cardboard box

The photos show the retail packaging of the product but it has been packaged in a plain cardboard box with bags/plastic parts. It should be used in youth hockey. a lottery basket, but that makes it harder when people can't see what's inside.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • dull packaging

Maybe too difficult for a 5 year old

My 5 year old grandson is a big hockey fan so I thought he would love this game I played as a kid. Although smaller than my old game, it is well detailed. My grandson has a problem turning and pushing the levers to make them work properly. When he grows up, maybe he'll gain experience. It's really fun once you get into it!

Pros
  • Recreational Sports and Playroom
Cons
  • Some Difficulties

Moderately disappointed.

A little disappointed. The product is built very cheaply. I had nostalgic memories of a similar game from the 80's, this is NOT. I've had it for about a week and two of the player's sticks have already broken off. Luckily super glue works. Players keep popping out of the mounting pins. A player's equipment is so weak that you can hardly hit the puck. It certainly catches the attention of my kids, which is a big plus. All in all I wouldn't buy this again.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Difficult to say

The kids have fun even though it's a piece of junk.

I bought this game for my 8 and 5 year olds for Christmas purely out of nostalgia as I had an old sturdy Franklin Rod hockey game with flat plastic players. I played this game to hell hoping to pass that same love on to my kids. Unfortunately, this game is poorly made. Cheap and flimsy plastic, sticks that keep breaking off from players, and sticks that get stuck as you move and twist. If he lives longer I will be shocked. On the plus side, my boys love the game despite the poor quality and for

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
