Customer Review: Snowed in, heater out, the kids still loved this, didn't notice the cold
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

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.
Customer Review: Hyper Slide the fast passn' action game

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?

Customer Review: MY 6 YR. OLD GRANDSON LOVES IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gave this gift to my grandson who is not a lay back kind of kid. He loves action and he loves and plays ice hockey and is great at it. I bought this because it said it has similarities to a hockey game and I liked the idea that he has to follow the commands given as far as which colored "puck" to try to get to the goal - it can sense if you've used the wrong colored puck and lets you know. From the minute he took it out of the box, he just wouldn't put it down -- always asking to do it just one more time. And, I like that it kind of has to be played on a table so that he is confined as to where he can play with it and no one will be tripping over it or it's pucks/chips on the floor. It's also great that there's a storage area for the pucks when the game is not in use. Seems like a great toy that will keep the interest of a little boy who usually loses interest in things quickly. Oh, and the flashing lights and audio is a big plus!
The only thing I am not happy about is that it's almost $10 cheaper today than it was when I ordered it but hey!, that's the way it goes sometimes. Has nothing to do with the toy - just my timing.
Customer Review: Addictively Fun for Every Age
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
