Twister Moves High School Musical REVIEW


I purchased this game for my daughter and I to use together as a way to have some 'fun' exercise. First off I am 37 and my daughter is 13. I found out right away that I am too old for this toy because I can't keep up with it. HA! The moves are called out so quickly that I barely have time to think before the session is over. My daughter on the other hand is getting the hang of it and she thinks that it is a lot of fun but she too feels that it is very fast.

I read another review that said that this game was no good for a children's party. First off, the dance mats are just a thick vinyl, so anyone could easily draw there own with chalk on an outside porch or make there own out of sturdy cardboard for a group setting.

My personal opinion is that children between the ages of 11 and 16 will get the most enjoyment out of this toy, as it is very fast.

I would like to add that the "High School Musical" theme to this toy is what attracted my daughter and the four High School Musical songs that are contained on the discs are not voiced over for dance moves! In other words, the dancing commands are absent on those four tracks. The other tracks (as far as I know) all have voiced over dance commands, telling you where to move your feet, etc.. I found it odd that a High School Musical themed toy would not have dance moves on the High School Musical songs and that might disappoint some children.

I am giving this toy three stars because it is too fast for a young child or an adult and the fact that the High School Musical songs are not dubbed over with dance moves. Other then that the dance songs are not annoying and the toy promotes healthy exercise that I feel could be a lot of fun, especially at a teen age party. I would also like to say that there are a total of 49 tracks on the first disc and 51 on the second, so there is a lot of active fun in the set. Amazon didn't say that in there description so I thought that I would be sweet and let you all know!

Twister Moves CDs play in any stereo and provide plenty of dance sequences.

Cranium Hullabaloo Game

Cranium Hullabaloo Game

Product By Hasbro Games



Hullabaloo will get the whole family moving. As kids ages four and up bounce, spin, and jump between the colorful pads, they'll learn new shapes, colors, and words. They'll also hone their listening skills --especially when they "freeze" and wait to see if they're a winner at the end. Though it's geared towards kids ages four and up, even two-year olds will want to play along. Though younger kids might not "get" everything, they'll still have a great time -- especially dancing to the "funky" music at the beginning and end of each quick-moving round. Though kids can play Hullaballoo among themselves, parents will enjoy the silliness and the exercise!


Easy to Learn; Fun to Play
The Hullaballo console is made of sturdy plastic with brightly-colored buttons that are easy for little fingers to find. Batteries aren't included and parents will need to put those in with the help of a screwdriver before play can start. The easy-to-read, illustrated instructions tell you how to play the game, which is a snap to learn. The console also clearly announces the rules of the game each time you turn it on. (It also plays a bouncy song at the beginning of each round that will stick in your head long after the game is over.)

Do a Funky Dance!
The talking musical console adds an element of excitement and unpredicability to the game. You never know what it will tell you to do next! The catchy music and the instructions to "do a funky dance!" at the end of the rounds especially appeal to kids. (Later, when you're not even playing the game, you can say, "Do a funky dance!" and they'll start dancing excitedly all over again.) The pleasing pallette of colors in Hullabaloo are appealing to the eye, from the purple, green, and red console to the multicolored play pads with their slightly retro images. These brightly-colored, sizeable play pads are hard to lose.Yet they are also easy to put away when the game is over.
Get Your Goof On
We especially enjoyed doing the funky dance at the end. We would even do a funky dance at the beginning of each round too-- the music is so catchy you just can't help it! At times, we wished the maximum volume of the console was higher. We also would have appreciated being able to put the batteries in without using a screwdriver. But overall, we found this game to be fun and energizing, with just the right amount of goofiness thrown in. It proceeds at a good pace -- slow enough so that kids have time to process the console's spoken directions, but fast enough to keep things exciting. The rounds are short so you don't get bored. And there are thousands of combinations of moves so you'll probably never play the same round again, not matter how many times you play!


Cranium Hullabaloo Game REVIEW


A fantastic game that will allow children to play a dynamic move on spots on the floor directly by playing music. They need to think about the picture on the spots in the creative. it's upbeat, fast paced, silly and fun. My favorite part of the game is that even though there is a winner declared every game, everyone else doesn't really lose. They just wiggle or dance or whatever the game tells them to do. Cranium Hullabaloo is losts of fun forthe 4-6 age group.

The children will have a good time while learning the different sounds , shapes and colors is very important to note. This aspect is complemented by the catchy music and the clever concept of the game , This is quite easy to learn and then play.

How about those technical aspects? The console of the Cranium Hullabaloo is made of plastic and it incorporates some brightly colored buttons.These buttons are designed to fit children's small fingers to press it easily. Even though batteries aren't included, parents will find it pretty easy to put them in. The Instructions are easy to read and follow. The console will clearly let you know about all the rules of this great game when you turn it on.

Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of Cranium Hullabaloo is the talking console. This will add an element of unpredictability to the game. Your kids will anxiously wait in order to find out what the console will tell them to do next. The instruction to “do a funky dance” is generally very appealing to kids.

As a conclusion, if you want to buy something that combines fun with development of your kid's sense of shapes and colors, Cranium Hullabaloo is definitely a great idea! As a matter of fact, this is a game that should definitely exist in your child/children's room, especially considering its low price.

The Game of Life Twists & Turns

Product By Hasbro Games

The Game of Life: Twists and Turns puts a new and modern spin on Hasbro's classic family board game. It is a game of choices, where players can "test drive" different lifestyles, take their chances and experience the twists and turns of real life. Jobs, money, marriage, children and all sorts of unexpected events -- just like real life, it's all here! Recommended for ages 8 and up, there are a thousand different ways to play this game, and no two games will ever be the same.
Updating a Classic

Like the classic version of the Game of Life, the Game of Life: Twists and Turns is based around real-life events. You'll choose a profession at the beginning of the game, and roll the dice to progress along the board. As you progress, you'll encounter all sorts of real-life events (injected with a hefty dose of humor, of course), including marriage, houses, cars and family matters. You'll essentially live real life and make life-defining decisions, but without having to live with the consequences.
However, Twists and Turns has a number of updates in store. Not only does it offer far more choices and possibilities than the original, it also has a number of new technical features that both longtime fans and newly-introduced players will appreciate greatly. The game now features a "LIFEPod," which helps players keep track of time and manage their careers, houses, cars and families with the touch of the button. The high-tech interface adds loads of fun to the game. The innovations don't stop there: each player now gets their very own Visa credit card, which they can use to spend. This not only puts a fresh modern twist on the game, but it also could possibly teach younger players about credit card responsibilit
y at an early age. This gives educational value to an already quirky and fun game.
