Amazon.com Product Description
Be quick, pick the right colored hyper disc, and flick it under the arch before time runs out. The Hyper Slide from Hasbro packs three fast-paced electronic table-top games into one compact unit. Recommended for ages eight and up, these fast-sliding games for one or two players are fun and exciting for kids and adults.



The hyper discs can be conveniently stored in a compartment on the side of the arch. View larger.

Fun, Futuristic Table Top Game
With its sleek, arched design, Hyper Slide looks like a futuristic game. Resembling a hockey game for a table top, the object is to flip the pucks through the goal. However, in these games the goal can be scored from both sides of the arch, and there are four different-colored pucks, called hyper discs. The game's electronic unit calls out a color, and you must pick that color and sent it through the arc. It automatically detects whether you've passed the right disc or not. When not in operation, the hyper discs can be conveniently stored in a compartment on the side of the arch.

Three Games for Solo Play or Two-Person Play
The Hyper Slide offers a few variations of play for your enjoyment. Two lighted buttons on the top of the Hyper Slide make it easy to choose which of the three games you want to play.

While the objects of the games are simple, playing them can be a fun challenge. The first game, "Fast Pass," is all about speed. The game commands a color and you've got to pass it through the goal quickly before the buzzer blasts. With "Add One," you've got to remember the order of colors. You start with a color and add one to the sequence each time you complete a round. "Code Buster" gives you 90 seconds to decipher the secret series of colors.

Best of all, you can play all these games with a friend or by yourself. With both "Fast Pass" and "Add One," you can even play head-to-head with another player or team. For solo play, the rubber "hyper band" is attached under the arch, bouncing the discs back to your side.

Put to the Test
Playing on any smooth, nonmetal surface, you'll be surprised how much fun the Hyper Slide really is. An announcer's voice, high-energy music, and sound effects move these games along. With your head in the game, you'll soon block out all the noise and only hear the color to flick, slide, or shoot through the arch. Unfortunately, if the constant voice directions are not your thing, the game can't be played without these sounds, nor can the volume be adjusted. On the plus side, the Hyper Slide announces your score at the end of each competition and keeps track of the highest score for each game. This electronic system runs on three "AAA" batteries (sold separately). If the Hyper Slide goes unused for two minutes, this smartly designed toy "goes to sleep," saving battery life until the player buttons are pressed.

Pros

  • 3 fast-paced games for 2-person and solo play
  • Lighted buttons make it easy to switch through games
  • Games remember high scores
  • Electronic game shuts off on its own
Cons
  • Game must be played with announcer and music going
  • Volume can't be controlled
What's in the Box
Hyper Slide electronic game, hyper band, and 4 hyper discs.


Product Description
Be quick as you flick, slide or shoot the different-colored hyper discs under the arch. As the game unit calls out the sequence of colors for you to pass, the game "knows" if you've passed the right disc or not. Pass 'em fast before the buzzer blasts! Obey the voice commands, get your brain in the game and break the code, or guess which color will be called next. Play with a friend or practice solo.

Tabletop slide-and-pass excitement features electronic lights and sounds, plus an announcer's voice that talks you through three fast-sliding game modes. Electronic game unit comes with four Hyper Discs, each a different color; plus Hyper Band and instructions. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included). For 1 or 2 players.

5 out of 5 stars Super fun - if you liked Bop it...   September 20, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Got for kids (pre teens/teens) and they love it. Concepts for memorizing and increasing speed are similar to bop it! game so if you liked that, this is a neat twist. You can't turn sound down or off - a little annoying if you are in same room not playing. Rubber band good for single play. Need smooth surface to play on.

5 out of 5 stars Loved by a 9 year old!   June 16, 2008

We purchased this toy for our 9 year old nephew who loves video games. It was a huge hit and loved playing it with his Dad! Great toy!


4 out of 5 stars Fun for all ages.   June 12, 2008

I got this for my grandson's birthday. He turned 8 and it took a while just to get the packaging off the game, but once we did the fun began. He and his mom played it, he played it alone, I played it alone and I suspect it will get played a lot more tonight when everyone gets home. Great game for most ages. If they can recognize colors and follow the verbal directions, then they can play this game.


4 out of 5 stars Lots of fun   February 25, 2008

This is a really fast-paced game, and the children (ages 8-12) have really enjoyed it. I have, too! They've only played it a few times since Christmas, so I can't speak to the product's durability, but it appears to be well constructed, and the puck holder is a godsend (if my kids can lose something, they will).
