Groovin’ and Moovin’

My daughter loves Hip Hop music and enjoys this game greatly. It is easy to assemble; I just put 3 AA batteries in the center unit and firmly inserted the four plastic foot paddles. It worked fine with no problems, although I would have appreciated some way to control the sound level. Not ear blasting, but it got to me after a while. The game’s audio tells you to select one or two players by depressing a specific colored paddle, then the music begins and you simply step on the paddle when it’s coordinating light lights up. It gets harder because the lights come faster as you advance through the game levels. My daughter liked it and spent a while playing with it alone, and then trying to coax the dog to step on the correct paddles. She was excited to have a friend come over and play with her, and that is my favorite part. She has autism and usually plays alone. I can’t wait to take this to a baby shower next weekend, to keep the kids playing while we moms chat. Overall this is a cute, fun game, and it’s nice that it provides some physical activity, and can be played alone or in pairs. My child and her friend aren’t just sitting down playing it, or sitting side by side playing video games. They got a bit winded and seemed to get quite a workout, this flurry of activity oxygenated their brains and body, and they enjoyed it. We didn’t have any trouble with the paddles coming out of the game center while playing, like some other reviewers mentioned. I removed them to store the game back in the box, although I think I might leave it assembled in the future so they don’t become loose. I may even purchase the accessories to increase participation and fun, if I find them at a reasonable price
