Customer Reviews
If you like Battling Tops you will like this game Posted 19 January 2008
After reading the reviews, I was mixed as if I wanted to open the package. While the one review indicated there was no interaction and you could leave the room is partially true, the battles happen quite quickly and kept everyone entertained (dad and kids ages 8 &9). The kids liked chearing on their warrior.
Concept is to split the warriors (similar to painted ping pong balls) and weapons into to two armies. Each warrior has certain attributes (e.g., how many weapons it can hold and special ability). Put one warrior from each army into the "arena" and let them do battle. Simplistic, quick and entertaining.
In terms of "air power", our unit had no problem and we did not even have it on full to blow the balls in the air.
The website (www.verticonwarriors.com) also has a lesson plan that allows you to use this game to explain the Bernoulli Principle in action.
I recommend you go to the website where all the instructions are explained in detail so you can get a better understanding of the warriors, weapons and rules.
Great item! Posted 21 January 2007
The first toy my son opened on christmas. He hasn't stopped playing with it. Also got the expansion kit, and have since gone out to buy more "competitors" for the game.
Haven't seen anything like this! Posted 16 January 2007
I have to say, this has definitely been fascinating. My husband missed the part in the instructions about the throttle, so at first nobody was enthused with this, but once we realized how to really operate the unit with the throttle, WOW! all 3 of my boys (husband included) have had fun watching the "battles" in mid-air and guessing who would "win".

My 10 year old grandson and his cousin, 8, had a wonderful time with it. Seems to be a nice toy.
A Lot of Hype, A Lot of Headache Posted 15 January 2007
All my son wanted for Christmas was this thing. I was so excited to find it and be able to get it for him. In the comercials, it shows these balls flying over the arena bouncing into each other and knocking one of them out. In reality, the fan is not strong enough to propel the balls high enough to actually create this type of duel. We have tried putting two balls in with no weapons and they still don't float above the areana piece.
It is loud, the pieces don't work properly and I'm exceedingly disappointed.
