What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about whether playing this game makes you feel like a Jedi. Did you find that your reflexes got better the longer you played? Would you like this game if you hadn't seen the Star Wars movies?

What's the story?

What's the story?
With this TV game, kids use a special lightsaber to slash their way through seven levels of battles as they train to become Jedi knights. Players start off as a young "padawans" in training at the Jedi Academy. As their lightsaber skills improve, they learn special combination moves, earn more powers, and go on missions as apprentices.

To make the game work, you connect a 4-inch round "training droid" to your television's audio/video input plugs and then position the droid on top of your TV. The training droid contains the games and has an "electronic eye," which, through the use of infrared technology, detects the movements of a handheld lightsaber provided with the game. As kids slice the lightsaber through the air, their movements appear as blue streaks across the TV screen. The game runs off batteries that are housed in the training droid.

Is it any good?

This is an easy-to-learn but challenging-to-master game that gets kids up and moving. Kid testers loved that they could defeat the famous foes, including Darth Vader and General Grievous.

For Young and Old
Our 5 year old was OBSESSED with swords early on, and then when he found Star Wars lightsabers it was all over. This was an accidental and FANTASTIC find for us. He gets MAJOR arm exercise and gets to wield a light saber. Best of all, he must stand in one place for it to work (so no broken lamps!). It's the best toy we have. We can play as a family, too!

IT'S A WORKOUT
THIS GAME IS GREAT! MY 9 YEAR OLD SON AND I LOVE PLAYING. OUR ONLY PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING PAST THE SECOND JANGO FETT, WHICH IS THE THIRD LEVEL. YOUR DUELING ARM WILL BE SORE THE NEXT DAY - GUARANTEED! GO OUT AND GET IT - IT IS DEFINETLY WORTH THE $45.
