Toys and Games Reviews of Electronic Pictionary Man Game
Customer Review: Interesting....

Computers are starving in India, and this game is using IC chips that could be put to good use crunching someone's numbers in New Delhi....!
In this game, you get a little effigy with a little lcd viewscreen in the foot. You press the button next to it to get your clue, and you draw on the effigy to give clues to your partner. Hello, charades, how are ya?! I can't believe Mattel actually has the stones to charge $60.00 for this thing...I mean, it's cute, but the better part of a c-note??
So while I wouldn't put this game down, I DO think it's overpriced as h-e-double toothpicks. Good idea....decent execution....WAY too big an entry fee!
Customer Review: good fun but more like 3 1/2 star game

this is a fun game. however after a short while I think we were feeling a little bored with it. The man prop and the other props were funny but after awhile I think they could be limiting. Also a lot of the clues were very limiting. If you were playing with a young crowd say under 25 they might not know a lot of the clues and wouldn't get it. Young kids def wouldn't get some of the outdated pop culture references. we still have a lot of fun playing it. Honestly I am not sure if it is worth the price, I think I would just stick the with the original. it does require batteries so remember those.Customer Review: Lots of fun!

I gave this to my 12 year old daughter as a Christmas gift and have played it with her and my 14 year old and my 9 year old a couple times since. Its a fun game that certainly challenges ones artistic skills and puts a nice twist on the "classic" Pictionary type game. I think the game was fairly simple for all of us to learn, even the 9 year old. The only issue for kids is that many of the people/places/things used as clues are aimed at adults (putting them at a disadvantage).
I'd call it good fun for the whole family but probably more fun with a group of adults only.
Customer Review: Fun but short lived?

Our friends and we LOVE this game. However we are pretty disappointed because we have played this game a total of four times (slightly different groups each time but a few of us played all of the times) and by the second game, we were already getting words we had gotten in the past. The box says there are over 2,000 words but it doesn't matter if the computer is random and picks old words before new words! In this case I think cards would be so much better because then you can make sure you never get repeats. Otherwise the game is fun, easy to understand and play, and I love how it incorporates charades, in a way, with the pictionary. Its great! I just may be contacting the company though to ask about what to do when you pay $31 for a game that starts repeating itself after the second game....Customer Review: All the fun compacted into little shapes!

Whenever I mention Pictionary Man, it means a whole group of friends gathering around a coffee table, shouting comments and trying desperately to beat the other team. It is nothing but fun times. Pictionary Man is a pretty interactive game, since you get to discuss/guess at the thing your teammate's trying to draw. And I admit, I like Pictionary Man so much more than just regular Pictionary, since the word bank's a million times more updated and interesting. However, there are quite a few things that seem to be quite difficult to draw, or even people that we don't even know about. But my friends and I just make up new rules as we go along and so, problems solved!
I very much recommend this product. It might not be very educational or informative, but it's made for a jolly time!
