Ugh.....waste of money
They work *only* when my daughter and I stand no further than a foot away and POINT the walkies towards each other.Even then, the sound is poor.

A total waste of money!I mean, how much fun can walkie talkies possibly be if you have to be standing nose to nose?? ... Read more

not sure
well, i wasn't sure on the ratings, it looks cool, but the main reason i'm writing a review is to say that, while this may make people mad, these toys say they're for 8 year olds at the youngest. If your kids are younger then that, i wouldn't reccamend it, it has the age on there for a reason. I reccamend checking the age reccamendation for toys before you read and take to heart these ones that are saying that they're bad because their 4-6 year old couldn't get them to work.

By the way, i'm sorry if i made someone mad, just clarifying for everyone though :) Thanks for your time, i really apprecite it :)

Save Your $$$$
Unless you have money to burn, do NOT buy this toy. My son, age 6, received it for Christmas and quickly wanted to try it out with a neighbor, age 12. They both hated it. Since the laser sensor is worn in the front, you and your opponent must be facing each other to shoot. They would run away from each other, and no matter how many times they'd shoot, they couldn't kill each other. Who is going to stand out in the open, knowing they can be easily shot?? This game would be better if the sensors could be placed on the shoulders and read from either direction.

Laser Challenge Communicaters
The new Laser Tag is here read all about it! Laser Challenge communicaters are one of the best laser tag systems out there but it is not educational. You can talk to the person you are trying to kill and there is cool guns and you get a vest. But you have to be quick because your target can get you first so SHOOT!!!

Correction to Previous Review
Grenades and back sensors were not add-ons for V2, they were however for earlier original laser challenge gear. Grenades were never made for the V2 system and back vests were an integrated component. I would highly recommend any Laser Challege gear. I have all the earlier stuff and have only ever had trouble with the Laser Challenge Pro gear which was replaced by the V2 gear because of a problem with being too complex.

Fun, fun, fun! - BUT, could use improvement...
First- let me say that many folks who use the Laser Challenge Communicator equipment don't realize that the barrels are pointed slightly upwards which means if you point the weapon naturally and directly at the target, you will probably overshoot.

Now for the review:

PROS:

1. Range is better than many other laser-game systems. I have hit targets at over 100 ft. Also still targets at 300 ft, but difficult to get that.
2. Team mode feature is a good addition.
3. Realistic - its very difficult to hit a moving target with
a real pistol, so it should be with laser tag- and it is
with this system.
4. Radio feature is a nice idea.
5. Considering how much you get charged to play laser-tag in an arena, this system pays for itself real fast!
6. Compatible with Gotcha-extreme, and some other LAser Challenge equipment.

CONS:

1. Range could be better. It is advertised at 350' range, but it is very difficult to hit a target at that distance (though sometimes possible).

2. Needs a sensor shield for the back! It is unrealistic to not be able to be shot square from behind.

3. Radio range is pathetic.

4. Inability to be compatible with the V-2 system is an outrage. Also not enough accessories to compliment this new system. Need rifles, grenades, back sensors, etc- all of which the Laser Challenge V2 system included but is not being sold anymore. ??

5. The stupid barrel is pointed up. Come on!

All in all, a great buy and great fun, but could use improvement.

Worthless
The walkie talkies, and the flashlight, do not work. New batteries don't help. Get what you pay for. ... Read more

What Rubbish!
I'll agree this box set looks impressive, but our walkie-talkies did even work. My boys were terribly disappointed. The Binoculars are comparable to looking out the bottom of a coke bottle. Yes, if it were made better, this product would have the potential to be a fun and educational, but I strong recommend you stay clear of this rubbish.

Walkie Talkie set
This set looks impressive; however, the walkie talkies do not work beyond 5 feet. Very disappointing. Watch is far too big for a child. Daughter did not even try the other items. This could be a fun and educational toy if it worked well.

Fun in the great outdoors
My nephew was so proud to receive this toy as a gift from me. It really made him feel like a grown up to have a real camera. He adores going outside to watch the birds with his binoculars and compus. And what kid doesn't love a flashlight, and walkie talkies. The watch is much nicer than I expected too. I think it will even hold up to a 6 yr old. This was a very fun set. ... Read more
