This was a great purchase [Posted on 2007-01-19]
I bought my son, who is 25, this product just as a little santa something to open and play with on Christmas morning. He used to be big into paint ball when he was younger. Well it is quite a challenging game apparently. He loves it because you can rapid fire just like they did with the real guns. He has several roommates and they all play it too. I'm very happy with this purchase and how quickly it came considering I didn't order it under a couple of days before Christmas. Amazon.com is great!
Tiger TV Mission Paintball Game [Posted on 2007-01-22]
Item arrived quickly (during the busy holiday season), and it arrived in excellent condition. Item was a holiday gift for a 12-year-old boy. (The game was pleasantly inexpensive, for an electronic game.) The 12-year-old installed the game himself, and he enjoys the game very much. I would purchase similar item from this manufacturer again, and I would purchase from this vendor again.
VERY FUN GAME, BUT NOT UP TO PAR [Posted on 2007-02-04]
LOVE THE GAME, BUT THE ACCURACY OF THE GUN IS NOT GOOD & KEEPS GETTING WORSE. MATTER OF FACT, I THINK THE GAME IS GOING TO QUIT ANYTIME. THE COLOR IS OFF & SCREENS ARE SCRAMBLED, THE ACCURACY IS GETTING WORSE, AND THE GAME SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN SOMETIMES. IT'S WORKING POORLY & IT'S ASHAME BECAUSE WE LOVE THE GAME. IT JUST NEEDS SOME IMPROVEMENT IN DURABILITY.
Great Value [Posted on 2007-04-03]
My nephews visited me and brought this game and I loved it. So, this 44-year-old kid bought him one too. I put it in my shopping cart and waited till I had enough for free shipping. $15 is a great deal.
It works great, is very accurate, and durable. Although it is true that mine is new, I know all of this remains true for quite some time because as much as I love my brother's three boys, they are quite possibly the best "product testers" when it comes to durability. They had theirs for quite some time it has survived. I have several toys that I make sure they know nothing about.
The gun, which is the entire toy, not only has a hair-trigger, hide button, and easy to slide reload switch, but it also has a "Pause" button and an "Off / On" switch which for some reason seems to be getting rare in electronics. Great foresight in making "On / Off" switch in the "Off / On" position so the toy would not be accidentally turned off by reloading. I am right handed, but they may want to add a reload grip on the right side of the gun for left-handers, but it is easy to slap the side of the reload chamber on the top and side and not use a grip on the left side.
Others have commented on the graphics quality, and they are right about what they say. But this is not that kind of game and my nephews and I don't mind. If the graphics were too good, it would be $15 nor nothing like shooting paintball in the woods wearing goggles.
If there were changes made to the game, I would recommend to Tiger:
- Make a mode where you can just keep playing levels like 1 and 2 and see how far you can go before shot 3 times. Maybe have opponents get better as time goes.
- Make it so you can change batteries without a screwdriver. Now I have not had to recharge my batteries yet, and maybe they have great battery life so it is not as much of an issue. But, I like to recharge my batteries before they are dead since I use NiMH ones that have no "memory". However, kudos on at least making a battery cover that holds onto the screw. That's the main reason why most don't like battery covers attached with screws.
- Get rid of the "gun cocking" feature. It gets old quick, gets in the way of reloading and aiming at times, it's something else to kill the batteries and adds to the expense of making the toy. If it is something that some testers like and it doesn't cost too much to add, at least make the default setting off. When they learn of it, it will give the toy new life to them.
- I try to be as "green" as possible and find the fake plastic CO-2 cartridge, and paint ball canister just a waste. I installed these extra pieces of plastic and only felt that they were in the way. My nephews thought the same with theirs too. These extra pieces are not shown in the "window" for the product, so I find it hard to believe that it adds to the marketing of it. Get rid of these two pieces and you have shrunk the packaging expense and size some as well.
- Tiger should put a view of the back of the product on Amazon. The screen shots they show are very accurate.
stopped working the following day [Posted on 2007-08-23]
This toy stopped working properly the day after we received it. Whenever our son aimed the gun at the target on the tv screen, the gun would shoot at some far-off part of the screen. If we hadn't thrown away all the packaging and receipt, we would have returned it.
Delivery was on time, and the item was packed properly, just an inferior product. He was very disappointed. :(
