    We bought the Anki starter pack for my 10 year old son. This is a lot of fun for both him and me and our 2 younger girls. It is easy to set up and the cars charge rather quick and you get good play time with them. The play is really easy. My youngest can drive it no problem and had even won a few times. You do need some type of Bluetooth device for each car so that can get hard when friends come over but we haven't had a problem yet. It also great to grow with as the computer cars can get harder to play as you get better. Over all this is a lot of fun for all.

    I bought this for my 11 year old son for Christmas. It was easy to set up and fun to play. He still uses it several times a week. It is easy to set up although you need a fairly large area. Can be put away in five minutes or less. Good investment.

    I bought this game for my grandson for x-mas. He was so excited, I love hearing him say awesome, wow, look at what it do. His parents love that it is easy to mount and that it comes with a storage case. Dont let me forget to say we love playing with it as well.

    Amazing Tech

    The setup of the track, rolling it out on the floor as well as the clean up, rolling it back up and storing it can be tiresome. The track is of a high quality material and is little tacky so it will pickup pet hair and dust. For the price I wouldn't just leave this on the floor when not in use so the setup and clean up can prohibit you from using this as often as you might want to. The 2 included cars came with some battery charge out-of-the-box, but I'd suggest charging them before playing. It took less then 20 minutes to fully charge both cars at once. The cars are tough, my 2 year old hasn't broken them, yet. He's too young to appreciate it so far and wanted to push the cars around the track themselves. He didn't quite understand that the iPhone app was controlling the cars. But as he gets older I think he'll really enjoy the racing. Good thing the IA is fun to race against so I can still have fun racing by myself! Overall this is a great product. It's expensive but have comfort in the fact that you're buying some awesome tech and a well made product. I found it on sale so it was a no-brainer for me but it is expensive, especially for those individual cars!

    Great family fun racing like the old days of slot race track cars only ten times better and light years into the future of electronic toy race cars. I own this and the crossroads track and the bottleneck track and the five additional cars, I bought everything on sale for about $500.00 it's and expensive toy for family fun if you have the money go get it and have fun you won't regret. Cars charge in about five minutes and run for about twenty minutes or more driving time. Toys and video games collide in a first-of-its-kind real-life robot battle- racing game. STARTER KIT includes two physical robot cars, BOSON and KOURAI, and the STARTER TRACK. Easy setup: Roll out the 8.5' x 3.5' STARTER TRACK on any floor or table, download the free app, and take control of your car. Rolls back up and stores just as easily. Use the free Anki DRIVE app to command and customize your cars with upgrades - make them faster on the track, boost firepower, and tons more. Battle up to three friends or self-controlled robot cars per race. Each player must have an iOS or Android device to take control of a car. (Specific devices listed below.)

    My 9 year old son loves it. The track is large and takes up a lot of space, but can be rolled up and put away. The track is a very simple track, but is fun. A good twist to all the electronic games, I enjoy seeing the cars race around.

    It's like the slot cars I drove as a kid on steroids! And I get to shoot at other cars, chase other cars, and sometimes even mess with them a little. As long as you have room for the track (3.5 x 8 feet), and an IOS or Android device (or two) you should have one of these!

    The starter set is very nice. My 10 year olds and their friends love it, but the one track gets boring and a second track is $60. The charge lasts a very long time which was very nice. The cars take a beating which i was pleased with. They aren't as fragile as you would think. It takes up a LOT of space but it rolls up easily.

    We wish all the cars were in stock. We got two with the starter kit and bought two more a few days later . Still waiting for one that is out of stock. My older boys were home from college and also got a kick out of this race car game.

    Bought this for my 8 year old son who thoroughly enjoys racing. It's a very innovative concept; roll out the mat, connect the cars to your Bluetooth device and do some damage. The cars steer themselves, short of the user being able to veer left or right, which I am happy about because I'd rather shoot the car in front of me or slow it down as opposed to worrying about steering. We don't play it as much, but we are pretty active with other things.

    Ordered two for Xmas. One for my kids and one for my brothers kids. No fault of best buy' but my brothers product never arrived was stolen in the mail. However I can't lock in the price I got over Xmas and Best Buy is out of stock to order a new one. No joy! That said, my kids love it. Fun to race and blends video game and pysical game nicely. **Be warned this will not work with old IOS devices make sure you verify the supported device list.

    This is so easy to use your grand kids can control the cars since they don't Have to steer and throttle and shoot . My 3yo grandson can play with this and now he ask me to get it out every time he comes over. The AI cars are incredible they stay on track unless they are shot off of it. It takes only 6 -8 mins to recharge the cars and then many races before they need it again. If you already have the right Apple devices to use this you won't be disappointed you coughed up the green. Have fun!
