Toys and Games Reviews of Zathura; Adventure is Waiting
Customer Review: The kids really like it
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this game for my son's fifth birthday because he LOVES the movie. He was constantly talking about how great it would be to have a Zathura game of his own. When he opened it, he was over the moon excited. He plays with it at least once a day and sometimes makes up his own game rules or re-enacts scenes from the movie. It's not the sturdiest of games and I know many other reviewers were disappointed that the game wasn't more like the one in the movie. But the way I see it is this: if this game was exactly like the one in the movie it would be a $[...] game. I think the fact that they figured out how to get the cards to pop out was clever enough and it definitely has made a 5 year old in Austin very happy. All in all, I say if your kid loves Zathura this is a worthwhile purchase.Customer Review: Great Family Night Game
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fun interactive game. My 6 year old and 4 year old thoroughly enjoyed it (and had no illusions of being blasted into space). It's not just about each individual's race to the end - many of the cards give instructions that cause each player to interact with the others. Teamwork is involved to make decisions that keep the house from being damaged, sometimes involving sacrificing your own strategic position for the safety of all.
The quality of the card console is poor. Our spinner works fine. However, the board is warping and I will probably have to exchange it. Hopefully there will be another in stock - the team concepts and interactivity make this a great family night game.
Customer Review: Really Fun for this 5 year old
Summary: 4 Stars
I just received and played this game for the first time. Despite the bad reviews my father read me about it, I found it really fun and want to keep playing it over and over. The card dispenser worked great but the cards do look fragile so be careful with them. Willie.
As Willie's father and typist, I would quibble with the "really fun" part, but overall the game worked better than I expected from all the negative reviews. That's hardly an enthusiastic endorsement, I understand, but if your kid has suddenly become as infatuated with the movie as mine has, it's not a bad outlay of $20.
Customer Review: Very disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
After watching the movie Zathura, we were very excited to play this game. However, the game is so poorly constructed we couldn't even play it. The cards in the console do not come out, and the spinner, which you are supposed to "spin" on your turn, does not spin at all, barely moving from one number to the next. I suppose you could play this game with a dice and simply turn the cards over, but it would not be as fun, and would certainly not feel like you were playing the game as displayed in the movie.
Customer Review: I took it back.
Summary: 1 Stars
Where to start? The whole set up to this game was very complicated especially dealing with that plastic card despencer which was a piece of junk that broke so easly and the number scrambler button got stuck and the spring came off for some reason those were the most parts I couldn't fix. but I didn't take the time to find out how to play the game because I was too busy trying to fix the despencer and the number button.
And eventually I just gave up and took this piece of junk back for a full refund.
