Toys and Games Reviews of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em ROBOTS Game
Customer Review: Same problems as the original game
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife purchased this toy for me knowing that for years I was looking to find it. I had fond memories of this game as a kid, it was always lots of fun, but within a few moments I quickly remembered all the games short comings...the heads would pop off too quickly, the red robot was always an inferior puncher, the robots have limited movement and now the size of the toy has been shrunk. I also remember the countless hours trying to repair the robot especially the red robot. I can't believe that almost 30 years later this toy still has the same quality defects...what happened to improving products year after year?Customer Review: It's great fun but a little hard on the thumbs...
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this toy for my son's sixth birthday, and it's great fun, just as I remember. The only drawback is that one has to do considerable thumb work to score a knockout, which I also remember. My son was ok, but my thumbs were a little sore afterward. Oh, and a little assembly tip: the directions say to simply "snap the robot controllers into the robot platforms (you'll see what I mean when you get it). Well, it takes quite a bit of force to "snap" the robot controllers to the robot platform, and you have to look carefully to match up the slots.
Other than the above, it was great fun!
Customer Review: VERY POOR REMAKE
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a 33 year old female who always found toys for boys more exciting than the ones for girls. I was excited at first to find and purchase this toy for my 7 year old son. I couldn't wait until Christmas Day to play with it myself. My excitement turned out to be disappointment. We took it to our family dinner and my family felt the same. It is nothing like the larger version my aunts uncles and I would play for days and days. They had a great idea when they brought it back, but I wish it were like the "old school" version. Like a previous reviewer wrote, "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!".Customer Review: what a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this would be great for my twin boys, right up their alley, and it would be . . . if it actually worked. However, it is next to impossible to knock the heads off, which is the whole point of the game. Even the adults who have tried cannot do it. After a while, my kids just give up and shove it back in the closet. Once in a rare while, the blue guy can get the red guy; but truly the red guy can never, and i do mean never, knock the blue guys head off. So what is the point?!?! What a huge waste. When my kids aren't looking, its going in the trash.Customer Review: Sock'em Once Again!

It's back!!!! A new, smaller version of the game we all grew up with. It's not exactly same but what is, most popular things get redone, it's life. But just because it's a little different doesn't mean you won't love playing it. It's so fun to share this game with younger generations. The heads will pop off easily once in a while but that generally pleases the younger crowed. It's easy to play, it's made for anyone. I would highly recommend this game to anyone and everyone. It's an affordable classic game that you will still be playing for years to come.
