Toys and Games Reviews of Electronic Catch Phrase
Customer Review: Great game for all!
Summary: 5 Stars
We play this game with family and friends and everyone always loves it. It is great for all age ranges (as long as they are old enough to know how to read.) This game comes in two versions - electronic and manual. I actually prefer the manual version where you have to hit the side of the game to get the word to advance (it is hilarious watching people beating on the game as the timer starts to beep faster) but most people I know like this (the electronic) version where you only have to push a button to advance the word. The electronic version is nice since you can pick a category of play (i.e., food/drink, entertainment, etc.) I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Good game for teams
Summary: 5 Stars
Played this game three straight nights during holidays. Teams were boys vs. girls, or old vs. young, etc...and it was a blast. Good for all ages -- we had a 9 year old playing and he did fine, with the oldest player in her 60's. Provided a lot of laughs.
Only drawback was that after two nights of use, we started recycling through phrases...I would have hoped that given it is an electronic version, it could have a lot more phrases stored in "memory". Am guessing that in a few weeks if used with a different group of people, it would be fine, since other people would give "clues" and be guessing answers. Still recommend highly.
Customer Review: Really fun game. Not enough clues.
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the best party games I've played (and I've played a LOT). Works best with two teams of 3-5 players each. It usually takes new players a few rounds to figure out how to play and then they really get into it. The best thing is that some people don't like certain games, but it seems everyone likes this one because it's so easy to participate, but there is always an element of competition, regardless of how skilled everyone is.
The downside is that there are not enough clues, and since the computer chooses clues randomly, you start to get repeats pretty quickly. Still, given how fun the game is, it's worth the money.
Customer Review: So much fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've played this game with my boyfriend, his family, and their friends and we had a BLAST! It's funny to see the generation gap as well (if you're playing with older people), for example, Instant Messaging is not always known to the older crowd. Some of the categories are very hard, but Food is always enjoyable. One con: In the Entertainment category, if you haven't seen Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars, you may have some trouble with some of the names like I did. Great for parties, tons of laughs! Honestly, I don't know why the price here is so expensive, Hasbro has the suggested value at $24.99, so buy it elsewhere.Customer Review: So much fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is great. I have played with friends and family. In fact this past thanksgiving we had a men vs. women match including everyone from my seven year old cousin to my 76 year old grandmother. I do recommend, however, NOT buying the electronic version. There is a second type with card stock-like discs that fit within a circular holder. Words are scrolled by pressing a button on the side. The reason is that I played the electronic version, and after about two hours words began repeating. The other type includes MANY more words, and if you play anywhere near as much as my family does, you'll need them!
