Hasbro - DropMix Music Gaming System

I knew everything I could read about it before it was released, but was still a bit hesitant because of the high price of entry. I still think it's a bit expensive for the initial pack but not terribly so. My wife and I play the clash mode very often, which is great because she had zero interest in the game before watching me mess with it. I don't play with freestyle a whole lot, but it's fun when I do. The only downside though is the additional card packs. They're not exactly cheap, and sometimes they're hard to find. I've easily spent double the purchase price on all of the series 1-4 cards, as well as a couple of playlists. Still having fun though, still worth it! If you can grab it on sale and enjoy music I'd definitely recommend it!

I purchased this on a complete whim - I was in-store and the colorful packaging attracted my eye, and I saw it was advertised as a game. I pulled up the reviews on my phone, and was excited by the concept. We got it out and played for about an hour, just messing around in freestyle mode. It was tons of fun, and unlike anything we had ever played before. Unfortunately, though, in the game mode, if you were to receive and open a text, or switch to another app quickly, the board would disconnect and you would have to restart your game from scratch, while also resetting the board. After we had had our fill of it for the day, we put it away. I went to play again the next day, and the board wouldn't even turn on. We did some internet searching, and found this to be a fairly common thing amongst buyers. Seeing as how it's a new game and a new concept, and that the exchange policy with Best Buy was quick and painless, it's not a HUGE deal, but definitely an inconvenience. I hope they upgrade the hardware in the future. We haven't opened the new one yet, so who knows if it'll do the same. Considering that it's app-based, I see huge potential in the future for new game modes and overall growth. The expansion packs aren't unreasonably priced, either. We purchased 5 of those and they're a lot of fun to add to the mix.

PIcked this up at half price for a friend. Freestyle mode is the best part of the game. You do need to download an app in order to use it. The cards that come with the base game are pretty good but are only about a fifth of what is available at this time. Additional card packs are almost a must but don't buy them online as you may get duplicates.

We bought this for my 11 year son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. it seems to be a lot of fun. However, I'm wondering how long he'll enjoy it before needing to buy more song packs. Also, we've had a couple of minor issues reconnecting it to his phone's bluetooth.

I got it on Black Friday. This game is tons of fun, but because you'll be buying card packs and such I can't recommend it for full price. If you can get it for less than $70, I highly recommend it.

I had heard about it (Dropmix), through some YouTube video and thought is was kinda cool. Well lemme tell you... this thing is very cool!! Super fun and borderline addictive... no... totally addictive!! Went and bought another one to give as a Christmas gift. Great for adults, (i'm an adult), so definitely great for kids.

I admit, when I first saw it in store, I was a little skeptical of the fun it could be. It seemed more just a way to mix stuff pre-sampled that, while cool, didn't seem to be terribly interesting. However, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that it can be played like a "smart" card-game, cooperatively or competitively, is impressive and fun! Each card is of a certain type and has a specific "strength" of 1, 2, or 3. A 1 can be played on an empty space or atop another 1, a 2 can be played on empty, a 1, or another 2, and so on. Each slot accepts cards of 1 or 2 types. It becomes like a musical Uno almost, and it's actually really fun! Glad we gave this a shot!

If you love music, you will love this game. It gives the ability to play and max all different kinds of sounds and songs in a freestyle way or in a competition. Any age can play because you only need to understand sound.
