Bop It Extreme 2

...MacDuff. What is this Bop It Extreme 2 thingy, then? It looks rather like a steering wheel, although the top and bottom parts of the circle are missing. Instead, the "wheel" arms have brightly coloured knobs and buttons on the end. The basic premise of the game is that you listen for spoken instructions and perform some action or other on one of these knobs. The yellow Twist It needs to be er… twisted. The green Flick It needs to be er… flicked. ...
...centre button of the wheel, Bop It, has to be er… bopped (read slapped)! You get the idea, right? To begin the game, you switch on and wait for the instructions, behind which thumps a rhythmic dance beat. Oh, it all sounds dead easy! Ha! Not so! It takes a little bit of getting used to! I am not blessed with great co-ordination, motor skills or spatial awareness and I took rather a long time to get the hang of it. Conor and Kieran – seven and eight ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

...recently for some inspiration. Bop It Extreme 2 seemed to jump out on me from the shelves in Woolworths. Shaped similarly to a steering wheel but with no top or bottom to the circle, the device is brightly coloured and has lots of knobs and fiddly bits on it. After turning it over and reading the instructions, I knew that my niece would love it so parted with my £19.99 and left the store. To cut a long story short, we found something else that my ...
...gave the Bop It Extreme to my two children, aged nine and thirteen. Although my teenaged son looked less than impressed then he first saw the game, he has become thoroughly addicted to it over the past few weeks, as have the whole family. Setting up Bop It Extreme 2 is simple. Three AA batteries, not included with the game, need to be inserted into the battery compartment. Pull the blue ‘Pull It’ button to start the game, adjust the volume by turning ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

I first encountered the Bop It when playing with my (much) younger cousins a couple of years ago. I loved playing it, and really wanted my own, but at nearly 30 pounds, it seemed a bit expensive. Fast forward a couple of years and I found the Bop It Extreme 2 for 20 pounds I had to have it! So, let's start by explaining what it is (those of you who have experienced earlier versions of the Bop it can probably skip this paragraph). Ok, so it's an ...
...think. How does the Bop it Extreme 2 differ from earlier versions? Well, the original Bop it only has 3 controls, whereas this has 5. The promotional material claims that this version has more variety in beats that you play to than the other. Play There are 2 different modes of play- vox bob and beat bop. In vox bop a voice calls out the instructions (e.g, flick it, bop it) whereas in beat bop you are played a sound for each of the instructions. ...

...days later. The Bop it is a hand held game which costs £17.99. It looks a bit like a UFO and definitely wouldn't look out of place if it was in the sky at night. There is a big 'push' button in the middle with two arms coming out of it. On one there is a wheel that spins and a knob to pull and on the other there is bulb to twist and a flap to flick. When you switch the game on there is a computerized voice that tells you to either 'flick it', 'spin ...
...to simply find the right arm and follow the instructions in time with a beat of music. If you take too long or get confused then it's game over! I find that the voice of the person is a bit annoying but the main thing is that it's loud so you can't be a bad sport and make excuses by saying 'I didn't hear what it was saying'. That was my dad's excuse! The knobs and buttons are easy to use but when you hands start to get sweaty from the pressure of ...

...instructs you to either Bop it Flick it Spin it Twist it Pull it You have to twist, pull etc the correct extremity in time or else you're out. ~Modes~ Beat Bop - Here you have to pull,twist or whichever depending upon the corresponding sound. Unfortunately I havent found a way to find out which sound is which yet, so I'm basically out after the first instruction. Vox Bop - The easier mode, here you are told what to doing in words rather ...
...or the green side. The Bop It tells you which person turn it is. And the first to miss loses. Or you can play in a team, after a certain amount of instructions the Bop It tells you to pass it on. If you miss or make a mistake you are out. ~Good Points~ Its highly addictive, I wasn't sure whether to put that as a good point of bad, but overall I think its a good thing, there are plenty of worse thing to get addicted to. I guess after a while it ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

...is so much fun. Bop it Extreme 2 is a toy which can easily mistaken for a steering wheel because that’s what I thought when I first saw it. However while we shouldn’t mistake it for a steering wheel, at closer inspection is has four controls on the ends of it and a large one in the middle. Have I confused you further, I think I’m confusing myself here. The controls on it (in reference to the picture) the yellow one is Twist It found in the top left ...
...the centre button is the Bop It and should be bopped upon instruction. Well once you’ve assured that you know where everything is you can begin the game, test yourself. This is where the fun starts. Once begin a string of instructions are given, among which you will hear a beat. Now as easy as this game may sound, its not so. It takes getting use to, and requires a quick reaction and even better co-ordination. I will warn you now before you rush ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

Bop it extreme 2 is great family entertainment and keeps us all amused for hours on end, it is such a simple thing and is something that you can play on you own or with a group of people. Bop It Extreme 2 has 4 different music styles from Pop, Rock, Latin and R&B, there is also the choice of 3 games in two modes so you have 6 different ways to play. This is not great when it comes to batteries as it requires 3xAA batteries. Bop It Extreme 2 is ...
...There are 2 modes Beat Bop and Vox Bop one of which commands you via a voice and the other which commands you by a sound, both are great but the beat bop is easier to complete. This game is better played after a few drinks as your minds goes blank and its great as you compete with your friends to be the bop it champion. These kind of games don't usually appeal to me, but I am addicted I cannot put it down, I just want to improve and get better every ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

Ok ok that sounds harsh, it's a fab game and I can't put it down!!!! which is why its so blooming annoying. Firstly it's not mine, it my friends sons, well it was I think it might be mine now, as I keep hiding it when he goes home!! However looking on ebay it seems I could buy my own for around £16.99 plus p&p. It is fairly easy to play; the game has 4 switches, one that you flick, one that spins, one that twists, one you pull and a centre button ...
...voice with annoying electronic music tells you what to do and if you get it wrong it tells you you are rubbish and you should try again. I keep trying at this point to tell it no! I'm going to clean the bathroom, kitchen, make the tea but strangely I have another go?? There are two versions of the game one with the annoying electronic voice telling you what to twist, pull etc and a version that just plays the sound effect for these same actions. ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

Wow!!! I've had my eye on this toy for months, but never thought I could justify £20+ for a simple looking game. Anyway, I recently saw this on sale for just under £18, and I couldn't resist! It's a fantastic game, and so simple to understand and pick up. There are just 5 actions to perform, and all you have to do it follow the instructions shouted to you by the toy. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? But it is just so addictive!!! You might think ...
...you can get with the music and instructions constanlty coming. The build of the toy itself feels good. It feels solid, and the rubber grips makes sure you won't be dropping it easily. There are 2 different ways of playing the game, and both ways can be played either solo, against someone, or in a group. Some people have mentioned that it can be very noisy and loud. There is sort of a volume control, which I feel is adequate. (You can set the volume ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

Bop It Extreme 2 is the next generation of Bop It Extreme, now there's 2 more crazy, colourful knobs! What is Bop It, though? WHAT IS IT? Bop it is a plastic, electronic toy that's shaped like a steering wheel. It has 5 weird-shaped knobs. One in the middle, and four placed in the top four corners. It's so simple...and so boring. PLAYABILITY I didn't really find it fun. It's so repetitive and when your high score gets to about 97, it starts to get ...
...you can pass around the Bop It system. DESIGN This game looks colourful at first glance, but it's acturally really bad in design and not good-looking at all! DURABILITY Bop It has been put together well, but you can see the wires underneath, so it needs to cover that up! VALUE FOR MONEY You can buy Bop It Extreme 2 from Amazon for £24.99. This is rubbish value for money! It's disgusting! OVERALL It's so simple and so dull. This has a very small live ...

Review of Bop It Extreme 2

Bop it extreme 2 is fairly expensive in most shops but dont let this put you off. Its worth the money. The basic objective of the games is to do what ever it says before the time runs out, for instence it would say 'Spin it' and you would have to spin the spinner before the time ran out....... It is fun but you really hate it when someone beats your high score. Its is really repeatative and you would probably get fed up with it after an hour or ...
...you could also play it on your own or in a pair. You can also plug it in to your stereo to make the beat come out of your speakers or headphones. I would recommend this game to anyone, However small children may get fustrated. So go out and buy it! ...
