Toys and Games Reviews of Cosmic Catch - Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Great toy and how to open battery compartment
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great toy. My niece and nephew love it, and adults can have fun playing it too.
My solution to the the major problem of opening the battery compartment... You need a #0 or #1 phillips head screwdriver. You can buy them at any hardware store. They are also commonly found in precision screwdriver sets (the kind to adjust eyeglasses). I tried using a regular small phillips head, and I couldn't get it. I went at it for over forty minutes on two separate occasions. Once I used a #1 phillips... Bingo... right away, no problem.
The screws are set down about an inch into the foam. They are not covered by the foam, more like countersunk.
Customer Review: Neighborhood Favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
My son received this for his 12th birthday from a friend. Some other reviews commented on the difficulty of inserting the batteries ... I didn't have to deal with it as my son managed it without help. This game quickly became a favorite with my three boys, and with ALL the neighborhood kids! Can't tell you how many times all the friends would come play, having to wait, taking turns (as there are only so many pieces allowing kids to play). We bought a couple more when they went on sale to give as gifts. I'll admit after a bit the ball seemed to stop working as well and the kids lost interest, but when it was hot, it was THE toy to play with for all.Customer Review: Could not get it to shut up!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for twin brothers who are friends of my son. I thought they could play with it together. However, after reading the instructions thoroughly over and over, the ball never stopped prompting us "do you want to play again?" I had to pull the batteries lose to get it to be quiet. I exchanged it thinking it was a fluke and didn't test the replacement. The boys mom told me later that the second one never shut up either. I'm not entirely a dope when it comes to electronics, so either the instructions need to be a whole lot clearer or the quality control is poor.Customer Review: have a screwdriver handy...
Summary: 2 Stars
The reviewer that said that the batteries keep losing contact is right. We were getting maybe an hour or two of play on each changeout of 4-AAA's. Then I read that review and tried just removing and replacing the same batteries when it stopped working. Sure enough it started working again. Quite a pain to keep having to do this and I have a feeling the small screws are going to stip very soon and we'll have to chuck it in the trash. My son got this for a birthday present, and he really does love it, but its a piece of junk just like the other reviewer said.Customer Review: Best Game I bought so far
Summary: 5 Stars
My sons Christmas list consisted of games......only games. Out of all the items I bought, this has been the biggest hit and the most fun. It is a great game for the whole family. It was a tad hard to get the battery door open, but once we found a thin enough screw driver it was fine. People are complaining about the foam, but hey, you toss or throw this ball at other people...of course its going to be padded. The game seems to be really well made, and has supplied my family ages 7,9,12,30ish,and 30ish with hours of fun. Well worth the money.
