Toys and Games Reviews of Crossfire Shoot Out Board Game
Customer Review: Worst Game Ever!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have no idea what any of these morons are thinking! I am a professional board game critic and I've thoroughly investigated every aspect of this game.Fun: NONE AT ALL! What is the point of this game? It's a really bad game. I mean, how on earth is one supposed to have fun launching a steel ball torwards a plastic disc? This question has kept me up late at night. Also, there were no assembly instructions included. So, of course, it took me four hours to sift through the gaunlet of plastic pieces and jam them together into something that resembled the box. And, where are those half-fingered gloves like in the commercials?
Educational Value: Ohhhhh pleeeaaaase! I learned nothing from this product except that splashing around in a toliet bowl is more fun.
Durability: What in God's name is that supposed to mean? All this highly lame piece of junk showed that it could not be crafted skillfully because it is made with a LAME-O cardboad playing surface...
Overall Grade: F-
Customer Review: You Can Cross Crossfire Off The List!!!

The concept is simple, shoot the marbles with attatched to the game board plastic guns at plastic decoys with marbel bottoms. Shoot the opponents ones into the pocket out of the way to keep them from scoring. This game has many downfalls the most common one as I see it being that the marbels are small and very easy to lose, and without them, the game cannot go on. Another one that I saw is why encourage children to learn how to aim with a gun? Isn't stuff like that what causes school shootings when they get older. I mean yes, they are only marbles now, but what will they be when your child is a teenager? Bb's or bullets? I guarantee they won't be marbles anymore though. Parents also seem to dislike this game claiming that the firing and clinking noise of the marbles is more obnoxious than children saying I'm bored all day long. All in all I say, if it is a fun game that your kids will not grow tired of that you are in search of, you can cross Crossfire off of your shopping list.Customer Review: One of the funnest games ever made

I grew up playing Crossfire, and now I've had it over 10 years, and it's still in perfect condition and its still fun to play. Me and my older brother still play it every now and then. It's not only fun for kids to play, its fun for adults too, but I would recommend it more for kids. It'll be one of their favorite things to do, if not their favorite. There's not anything that's dangerous about the game. You have two plastic guns and you use metal marbles that are a little bit bigger than a BB to shoot two items shaped like a star into your opponent's goal until somebody wins. It's pretty much a game of speed because you have to keep loading the gun with the BB's when you run out (which is pretty often). It also tests how good your aim is. If you have any kids, I'd recommend getting Crossfire, it'll be an instant classic in the house.

I had this game when I was a kid! Actually I think it was my brother who recieved it as a christmas present but, my family would all take turns playing it with one another.In fact, this game really stands the test of time because my parents still have the very one that I used to play with as a kid and whenever the grandkids come over, including my two children they head right for it! We will be moving early next year, due to my husbands job and we will be living very far away from thier grammy and grandpa so I will be sure to buy my kids this game this christmas so that we have one in our home! This really is the best game out there and even though the age group recomendation is 7 and up my son and nephew who are far younger {2 and 4} even join in on the fun. It really is rare that you find a toy that the whole family can enjoy. This is one of those toys!Customer Review: Never had a chance to play.

Crossfire was at the top of my son's list for Christmas. I went to several different stores and drove 65 miles south and north of our hometown to find this toy. I was very happy to finally find it 60 miles from home after looking in a dozen toy stores. The look on my son's face was priceless on Christmas morning when he opened his gift. His eyes lit up and his smile was from ear to ear!! After anxiously waiting for us to assemble the gameboard, he was quickly saddened when the firing mechanism in one of the guns was not working. The marbles pop up and fall back into the players own side of the board. I have looked for an address to request a replacement part and have been unsuccessful. After all the searching and waiting, he never had a chance to play the game. It is now setting in the closet as I search once again to get a replacement gun.
