Toys and Games Reviews of Crossfire Shoot Out Board Game
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I had Crossfire as a child and loved it, so I was excited to see it show up on my son's Christmas wish list. However, we are very disappointed in this new version. My 7yo son cried the first (and therefore only) time he played it because it was too hard to fire the guns. He had to squeeze with both hands, which prevented him from being able to use one hand to reload. They often misfire and you have to jiggle them to get the balls to roll into place and that can mess up the whole playing surface. He also said it hurt his hand to pull the trigger. I tried to play the game to see how bad it was. I couldn't even finish the game because I developed a blister on my trigger finger. The next day, my whole hand was sore and the pain extended up my forearm. If we still had the packaging, we would return it.Customer Review: I would not buy see why!

I would not buy this game based not on the durability issue but of the addictive nature that has apparently obsessed both adult and child for hours and hours on end. May be fun I guess but I would never want in my home a game that has such feverish talk, such obsession, that parents are rushing to buy their kids, spending hours on end and adults dreaming about shooting marbles at a plastic disk. What about a telescope for shooting stars or a disk for hockey for some outdoor exercise. How about learning real chants, those of the oompa loompas in a book or ......... Sounds totally scary to me. The overjudging but licensed Family Therapist. Try something fun. Not cheering for outing your opponent by fire, out your opponent by strategy or creativity. Try outburst, try apples to apples, try gooblet, try mountain climber, blokus, or if you want the best of making things that go crossfire try snapcircuits and build alarms, motion detectors, phones. How about Loaded Questions or the Guiness Book or Totally Gross. Have them singing and dancing and laughing and feeling silly and creative or break the safe for speed. Do we not have enough shot em up bang um up. How about a racing car set. The thrill of not wiping out on the corners and racing by. How about a good old fashioned game of pinball, or teach your kids poker. Poker is based in Math andis based on beign sneaky. Kids love it. They get into being sneaky, Have then watch the adams family and act their own scrip out, film it, down load it, watch it on TV. No more shoot em up. please. The mind is being deadened.Customer Review: what i've been looking for

I got my first expierence of this game when I was really little, but I don't remember that. I played this game while on vacation at New Jersey, 4 years later and I loved it! So on the way home we stopped at Toys 'R Us and got one. It's nice chaotic fun with a strategic feel. There's these 2 guns at the ends of a board, and you have these marbles and 2 pucks. You start machine-gunning marbles into a puck to try to push it into an oppenent's goal. Keep reloading! One of the guns is more powerful than the other, but that one has more rapid fire. This is great fun!Customer Review: i loved it then...my kids love it now

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!
