Toys and Games Reviews of Hungry Hungry Hippos
Customer Review: Total disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
Just like most of these reviews, I was so disappointed to find that a childhood favorite has been cheapened so much. The BIGGEST complaint is that they think you are going to take it apart and put it back together every time you want to store it? I don't want it sitting out everyday after my son is done playing with it.
And it's SO cheaply made. The marbles are plastic and bumpy. They don't come out of the hippos once gobbled. The hippo's heads get stuck and don't lift up like they should. I could go on but it's mostly what others have said. I wish companies stopped trying to save a buck and just left classics the way they were.
Customer Review: Disappointed

My son begged for this it was the one and only thing he asked for this year so i bought it, both of us were upset . 2 hippos are tore up fresh out of the box the other 2 continually stick, and honestly without seeing the box you would think it was one of those imitation rip off toys you buy at the 1$ store....
it even LOOKS cheap!
This toy is being returned even with my sons request! ( and for a 4 year old to say return something you know its bad!)
great concept and maybe the old ones were good but if you cant play it, you cant have fun!
I just can't believe this game is a liscensed product!
Customer Review: This piece of junk should come with a free garbage bag!
Summary: 1 Stars
1. Plastic "marbles" are too light. They fly way too high and sometimes off the playing field. They also get stuck inside the hippos at times.
2. The hippos frequently get stuck in "locked" position during play rendering them useless. Since they're the key to the game, that's kind of a big deal.
3. Sometimes the hippos fall apart while playing. Not really what you want to happen.
I loved this game as a child. The current version is worthless. Don't get this unless you love frustration and children crying "it's stuck! it's stuck again!" over and over.
Customer Review: Gobble them up! Noisy and Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's something deeply satisfying about this game: Is it the allure of pounding a hippo's tail as fast as you can so that your hippo will eat more balls than its opposing hippos? I leave that to the psychologists...This games provides a great release for toddlers and adults. Because of the intensity and noisy pounding, you may want to limit your own play to about ½ hour. Educational value? Well, the game helps with hand-eye coordination, learning how to be a good sport, and simple counting. But basically it's just a good way to get in touch with your inner hippo--let the pounding begin!
Customer Review: Doesn't fit back into the box!
Summary: 2 Stars
it's just as fun as you remember, and it's fun to introduce your child to this game.
But once you assemble the game it does not fit back into the box. So you are left with this cumbersome game and tons of loose marbles. Good luck keeping your game room tidy with this game.
Also, the heads and necks get stuck. You're trying to gobble gobble gobble but your hippo gets paralyzed. It's very frustrating.
The kids will have fun with it, but you might want to think about gobbling up a different game.
And finally, our game arrived with the yellow hippos head! Uggh!
