The Star Wars: Jedi Challenges is capable of two player duals. The upgrade is a free download through the game app. You will need another set for this to function.

This was a family gift from Santa. My Star Wars fans were not disappointed. It is a blast - my only critique is that it overheats my Galaxy S7 quickly, 30 minutes of play time.

The games provided are very impressive. Both of my teenage boys are enjoying the game. The technology and potential for additional games on this platform are obvious. Headset is a bit heavy with the phone installed, but likely the nature if the beast on all such AR/VR platforms.

We are happy to hear that both your teenage boys are having a lot of fun playing the Star Wars: Jedi Challenges.You may want to try re-adjusting the headset. The best way to adjust the Star Wars Jedi Challenges headset is to: place the unit on your head and then adjust the two side straps first. Then adjust the top strap until the headset is at a good height and feels comfortable to you.

This is a Christmas gift so we haven't tried it at home yet. But we did the demo in our Best Buy store and the kids loved it, as they went to look in another part of the store we sneakily bought it! They will be thrilled!

Great little toy, by no means like the vive or rift, but it's still fun dueling Jedi with sabers. Little pricey for what it is, but still fun. The fanboy in me is squealing.

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges offers one storyline taking the player through more than 30 challenges across three types of game experiences, with many hours of playing fun. Because the game is app based, updated experiences and game modes will be available.

1. It's not VR, it's Augmented Reality--an important distinction.
2. Still has the feel of an early generation device, but the price drop from a few months ago make it a great present.
3. Not 5 stars b/c it doesn't support Samsung Galaxy S9 yet. Using an S7 with it but it overheats after about 30 minutes of play.

I cannot give a valid rating for this item as it is still in a box and is wrapped for a Christmas gift. I'm sure they will enjoy it, but that is all I can say at the time.

This thing is amazing. I remember playing with broomsticks, flashlights and wrapping paper rolls. Whatever I could imagine to be a light saber. Now with this it puts the saber in your hand. Good reactivity. I love it!

I bought this for my 13 year old nephew and after playing it for a bit had to get one for myself as well. Definitely lives up to it's name as far as the challenges aspect is concerned both physically and mentally.

The interface is good, and it’s fun, does burn your battery on your phone quick. You are only limited to the games it’s designed for, hopefully it’s expandable.

It is also very important that you let the "app" that is included guide you through the entire set up process. This insures that the system will be synced correctly.

Purchased as a gift for my son. As fun as it is, it was one of those gifts that got a lot of use up front and then ended up in a corner until the pandemic hit. Recently dusted it back off and it is again getting actively used. It can be a bit heavy to wear, but I would still recommend for a Star Wars lover.
