 Fun and NoisyJul 25, 2010
We got this for my nephew on his 5th birthday. It's noisy but he loved it. He enjoyed playing it alot with his 3 older brother and sisters.
 CheapJun 10, 2010
I would have gladly paid $5 more for a bigger box. Any time I want to put this game away I have to detach each hippo from the blue game board. My son, who enjoys the game, can not do it himself. And the hippos feel as though they're about to break when I detach them. Then, still fitting everything into the box is a feat in itself. Also, the hippos' necks tend to lock up during games. Cheaply made. No thanks, Hasbro. No thanks, China.

This was a gift for my 4 yr old grandson. He loves playing with this... even though he doesn't really understand how to play the game yet.

Not the toy I rememberApr 07, 2010
I bought three of these as gifts, one for my own child. I was glad we opened ours before we sent the others. I returned all three. The game is a cheap, flimsy, irritating, pale copy of the one I remember from years ago. It has to be disassembled every time to put it away in the box. The pieces are difficult to snap into place, and a child of the target age for this toy would not be able to do it. Those little plastic tabs could not possibly stand up to the repeated process of putting it together and taking it apart. The hippos do not snap into place very firmly, despite the difficulty of snapping them in. This results in a wobbly game to play with. The head assemblies snag up on themselves more often than they work to grab the marbles. I was very disappointed as I know my kids would have loved this game if it had lived up to the original.
 Ouch!!Feb 28, 2010
This toy hurts! You have to assemble the game each time you want to play. Snapping the hippos into the blue base is a bit difficult but getting them out really hurts your fingers. You have to pinch the tabs underneath the base which is no easy feat. Unless you leave the game out of the box when storing you have to do this each and every time the kids want to play it. Makes me cringe every time. The construction is a bit flimsy as well. Not as sturdy as the old version when I was a kid.
