football rocks and this rocks to!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked my mom to by this for me she did so when it arrived it was so much fun and the noise does not bother me I would recomend this for every body.

Are you ready for some football!??!?!?!??!?
I love football. I understand football. I learned about football when I was 5 years old because of this game. I'm 26 now....Electric football is the most hands-on game in the sports toy circle. Granted it's not as savvy or intelligent as most of the football video games out there, but it allows for creativity and imagination. Growing up, my buddies and I started a league. We each had 4 teams and kept track of stats and standings. We even had a pro-bowl. Instead of using the lame-o quarterback they give you, we simply threw the ball ourselves. The loud buzzing sound is a bit annoying, but even when that broke on my old board, we still played by tapping on the board. We had hours of fun, creating plays and formations and we learned about the game of football. This game rocks!

Does not work right
Everytime I buy this game I am sadly disapointed.
1. The game is very noisy
2. The clock does not work properly. Sometimes it even goes backwards.
3. The quarterback is hard to operate. It is hard to pass or kick the ball properly. I have lost so many of those footballs using that thing. I ended up not using it and just go for touchdowns and just run the ball.
4. The players do not go where you want them to, especially if the feelers are bent.
5. It takes five to ten minutes to set up a play that last only ten seconds.
6. It is expensive to buy extra teams in both home and away jerseys.
7. The player pieces break easily, plus if the game board is bent it does not operate properly.

In all this game is nothing but a waste of money. I prefer the computer or video football games over this game.

Not worth the money
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son who is 9 years old. And I am very disappointed. The men do not go the way they are suppose to go and the game itself does not work the way it is suppose too. He has not played again after the first day he opened it because he get's to frustrated. It was not worth the [$$$] that it cost me with shipping.

Awsome!
I got this game for my birthday because i told my dad about it! love it so much! Its pretty loud but when your having that much fun it doesnt bother you at all! The really good thing about it is that its uses AC not batteries! I play this every day and during the super bowl we play it! I recommend it to everyone!! Thankyou Toys R Us ... Read more

A Great Product for the Price
I bought this air hockey product for our 7 year old twin boys this past Christmas. They rated it as their "best gift" and it is one of the few toys that is still being used and enjoyed on a regular basis. I was concerned that the table size would be too small and the air flow would be inadequate to have a fast paced game for the cost of this model. However, I am extrememly pleased with the table proportion and it has a flow more than adequate to "float" the puck and produces a very fast game. We started out playing with it on the floor with the boys sitting down, but have since moved it to a small table and they now play standing up. It is a fun game for parents to play with their children and it is the type of game that kids can play with a minimum amount of disagreement or supervision. There is a manual "score board" to ten points for each player and the only additional rule we had to implement was to keep their "free hand" off the table. It is a great game for eye-hand coordination and the fast pace makes it exciting for the players and spectators alike.

BORING!
This table is so stupid. Half of the time it dosen't work the air pumps vavle fuses alot. Go save your money and watch paint dry

Great toy for an introduction to air hockey
I got this toy for Christmas a few years ago. The board still works great, and it's awesome to play against one of your friends. At some point, over one of the goals, the beam broke that was between the board surface and the top of the board, but the game seemed to function better without it, because with it, the puck kept constantly getting stuck in the hole and arguments resulted in whether or not golasa were scored. The puck still floats great on the board also, and it's relatively small, so it's not very hard to travel with in the car when you want to bring it somewhere. Air hockey also shows education in developing great hand-eye coordination skills, because of the fast paced motion of the game, and you will notice an improvement. Overall, a great buy, get this for your kids! ... Read more

Editorial Review

You too can win at Daytona! This board game tries to come as close tothe experience of racing at Daytona International Speedway as possible--without actually getting in a car and driving. The game board is a massive 22 by 38 inches and was designed from the blueprints of the Daytona track. Game pieces are detailed, die-cast metal replicas of racecars. A dashboard spinner with six separate dials is used to advance the game, and a dry erase log sheet is provided to keep track of each racer's progress. To start the game, drivers spin the Qualifying dial to learn their qualifying times. They line up on the track accordingly and roll a die to advance. Chance cards, Caution cards, Bonus cards, and spins on the Random Breakdown spinner can provide unwelcome news or a chance to take the lead. As the race progresses drivers are able to draft off each other, pass and lap other drivers, and make pit stops. Daytona Challenge provides an adrenaline-rushing opportunity for race enthusiasts to live vicariously. --Wendy Slotboom ... Read more

The Most Fun and Realistic Racing Game I have ever Seen
The DAYTONA CHALLENGE is "ADDICTIVE" This game is a colorfull beautiful realistic rendetion of the actual Legendary DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY.The game play is exactly like you are racing at DAYTONA.Drafting is a major part of the game.If you are directly behind the car in front of you - then you will gain 2 additional spaces at the end of your turn. as you are drafting.If 1 space seperates you from the car in front of you - then you add 1 additional space to the end of your roll (ex: roll 7 + 1 for draft total gain 8) If you have more than 2 spaces seperating you from the pack of cars in front of you then you have lost the draft and it could be along day.There is also tire ware, pit, and fuel strategy to think about.You can trade paint with the car beside you and they must deduct from their roll (ex: 8 -2 for trading paint gain only 6)You can give the car in front of you a little love tap and he must deduct 2 from his roll.This game has all the exitement of real racing.My freinds and I play in leagues its great.I would definatly reccomend this game to anyone that just loves pure out competition. GREAT GAME!

TechnicalWriter for the game says.....
I was in college with the inventor of this game (David Whalen) and learned a lot about recing from working on the rule book with Dave.Its a GREAT game!Dave added a lot of features to revv up the engines of other racing fans!Plays like the real thing!!

The Candyland of racing games
This game was originally sold as a "racing collectible" rather than as a board game.After playing it, it's obvious why they did that.I am a huge fan of racing games and must admit that this game is absolutely beautiful to look at.Too bad the game play is so bad.There are virtually no decisions for the players to make during the game (thus the Candyland reference).You roll the die.If you get a number, your car moves that many spaces.If you roll the special "C" on the die (a one in ten chance), you draw a card.Most of the cards tell you to do something - again, no decisions - though a few of the cards can be saved to play later.Choosing when to play those saved cards is about the only decision involved.This would be a good introductory racing game for younger children (I've used it as such with my six year old son), but there are better racing games for youngsters (Milton Bradley's out of print but easy to find NASCAR Champions is one).Bottom line: Save your money. ...

Great for Kids!
This game is the companion game to the APBA Superstars Baseball Game. It has all of the other game's strengths. It is educational fun for youngsters. It teaches them about primary colors and numbers, and introduces them to some of the basic terms of football (fumbles, passes, etc.). They also learn the names of today's football stars. Since there is no strategy involved, youngsters have as much opportunity to win as do adults playing against them. I also appreciate that the game parts are quite sturdy, and can easily be cleaned when the inevitable ice cream or buttered popcorn gets on them. I highly recommend it. ... Read more

GOLO DICE GAME- Coolest golf game ever created!
I am a GOLO adddict, I admit it.This is the most addicting game I have ever played. I also used to play Yahtzee and there is a ton more strategy to GOLO, especially if you are playing against others... should you play safe and pull pars, should you go for birdies and eagles, call bottoms?? Also, the best part of this game is that it is simple, fast, and you dont have to think to much.You can shoot a 9 hole round in about 1- 2 minutes.If you are a first time golfer or a junior golfer, it teaches the basics rules and scoring of golf in about 10 -15 minutes.Fun for the entire family. I was fortunate enough to attend a GOLO US OPEN party in Orlando at the PGA SHOW and everyone had the time of their life.Golf Digest just rated GOLO the #1 gift for Christmas and called it the coolest golf game ever created! ...
