Toys and Games Reviews of Jakks - Star Wars 5-in-1 Plug N Play TV Game
Customer Review: Two versions of Jakks Star Wars Plug&Play game?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a little confused after reading some of the reviews here, so I thought I'd share my experience. FYI, there is (or was, at least) another Jakks Star Wars Plug-n-Play, which was shaped sort of like a Playstation controller but it was designed to look like Darth Vader's mask (which I thought was way cool, BTW.) Anyway, I know that Amazon sometimes lumps reviews together, and reading over these it looks like they've done that here because some mention the controller looking like Vader, while the photo shows the one shaped like the Millenium Falcon. We have BOTH the Vader one and the Millenium Falcon one (purchased a year or two ago at local -mart stores for about 20-bucks each.) The Vader one does have different games than the Millenium Falcon one, though -- or at least ours did (another review here seemed like the Vader one had the same games as the Falcon one...???) On our Vader game (which is dated 2005 on the back) it has the games described in other reviews here: Droid Invasion, Coruscant Attack, Grievous Onslaught, Gunship Battle, and Utapau Chase. Our Millenium Falcon game (dated 2006 on the back) has only four games instead of five, and they are different -- they are: Lightsaber Duel, Battle of Endor, Assault on Hoth, and Red Leader.
So basically I'm not sure what this means you'll be getting from Amazon -- they picture the Millenium Falcon game but the written description says five games (not the four ours has) and also describes the five games that (in our experience) are on the Vader game. Maybe Jakks just switched controllers recently and put the five games on the Falcon instead? (Hey, maybe I have a really rare and valuable Falcon game with four games that aren't made anymore!)
At any rate, both games (Falcon and Vader) are fantastic and my 7-year-old son loves them, and I have to admit I play it some, too. (I rock at Grievous Onslaught *she said modestly*) We have found both to be very durable and have had no problems with loose/broken wires or broken joysticks, despite many hours of hard play. They're excellent fun games at a great price so you don't have the huge expense of a Playstation or whatever. One advantage the Vader one has over the Falcon one -- the red light that signals when it is turned on is located on the top of the Vader mask and is very easy to see, so you aren't likely to leave it on by mistake and run the batteries down. The "on" light on the Millenium Falcon is located on its edge, and we have mistakenly left it on many times and thus go through more batteries with it.
These games have been out for awhile and perhaps are not being made anymore (?) or are in limited supply or something which may be why they are priced so high, but do shop around because you may find them in a -mart store for somewhere in the 20-buck range. (I see Target has it offered via Amazon for nineteen-something...)
Description of Jakks - Star Wars 5-in-1 Plug N Play TV Game
The battles of Episodes IV, V and VI provide the backdrop for four fast-paced games. Lightsaber Duel allows you to recreate some of the most memorable and intense scenes from the films. Assault on Hoth pits the Rebel Alliance against the unstoppable Imperial Army's ground forces. Take control of an X-wing fighter as the Imperial Fleet attacks in waves of laser-blasting action. Help Chewbacca destroy the Death Star shield generator on Endor then take control of the Millennium Falcon and blast the reactor core to blow up the Emperor's ultimate weapon.Plug & Play Video Games Toys
