The headset weight is a drawback for younger player. Foam eye cushion came off in first week of playing. Great graphics and exciting light saber duels. We got a second unit when it came on sale.

My kids love this game. My 6 and 9 yr olds have played it. My 9 yr old does better but with the 6 yr old it involves a lot of parent assistance which drives me crazy since I’m not into playing games. The graphics are pretty neat though. It can be confusing to play with the chess like games and navigating the menu. My 9 yr old figured it out after I was just done with it. The 6 yr just wants to fight people. Lol. I wish there was just a basic play fight option rather than this real game of trying to figure things out. The 6 yr old doesn’t do well with that. They do have a lot of fun though. My only other concern is how hot my iPhone gets! It wears down the battery fast and typically when it pops up low battery on my phone, they finish, but when I take my phone out of the headset, it is really hot! I worry about long term damage to my phone.I wish there was better ventilation to the phone while it was in there. I have the iPhone 6s. It’s a pain anyways because I have to take my phone out of the case to put into the headset which worries me. My iPhone was expensive and I never like it out of it’s case. It would be better if this could use an older 4s instead since I have a spare. If you have an older smart phone that’s compatible with this, I would recommend it, but if you are using your main more expensive smartphone, I wouldn’t recommend it. You really won’t want to hassle with it. Another thing is since you are using your phone’s screen to play through the headset, any texts or alerts that pop up stay up the whole time and display on the play screen. My kids didn’t really care but that would drive me crazy. When the low battery alert pops up, it’s right in the middle of the screen which is why they stop playing. Otherwise you need to slide the cassette out of the headset which holds your phone and push the button to get rid of the alerts.

So my friend and I bought this after the price was reduced to at least 99. I bought it on black friday making a deal out of it. I was going to do an unboxing video and mine are usually short and sweet and to the point. That was not the case with this one. We not only had to not do an unboxing video but we ourselves did not know how much work it was just to set up a demo. It is fun for playing but the hoops you have to go through to set it up is why it does not get 5 stars for me. You will have fun and it will drain your battery life of your app installed cell phone but I would wait for a sale for this kind of product and not spend anything about $99

Well done game. I truly enjoyed the quality and polish given to this setup. The lightsaber and headset are excellent although there is a learning curve for the phone installation process. Game play, while not 100% perfection all the time, is wonderful and engaging. I was sweating pretty good by the 3rd round!! Is it worth the money? I absolutely love it and play it often. Any SW fans need to at least try it out. I brought mine to work and Iet friends try it out - needless to say they all bought one.

I had really low expectations going into this, which may color my review. Also, I used an iPhone 7+ for this. You probably need a beefy phone for the best experience. (I'm curious how a Galaxy S8 looks since it's a higher resolution screen) Setup is a PAIN! Not only is the caddy that you slip the phone into very delicate and hard to open, but the on-screen instructions for the AR app are very poorly done. It's not immediately obvious how to proceed to the next screen when setting up the device. Also, the USB plug doesn't seem to always register a connection. Despite the setup issues, the floaty/jittery tracking, and a controller which has to be frequently re-centered during gameplay--I have to say this is a really amazing experience. The games are VERY well made, and cleverly deal with the limitations of the hardware. Obviously the light saber battle game is the centerpiece. The other two games are cool but are kind of annoying to play standing up.
