Advantages: great fun for all and good value for money.

Disadvantages: very noisy!!

I bought my daughter this last year for christmas as a stocking filler, It was priced at £9.99 from woolworths but I know you can get it cheeper now from amazon or e bay.

The box comes in really bright packaging and there is no setting up of the game to do at all. The game itself is a red plastic square with four hippos either side of it, the hippos come in pink, yellow, green and blue, each with a black plastic handle on the back of them which is used to open the hippos mouth.

You get a bag of little white balls inside which are to be shared amongst the players then placed in a runway on the left hand side of the hippos and shot into the game when your ready to start playing.

Once in play you then press down on the little black handle on the hippos back and try to grab as many balls as you can, the winner is the one who has the most balls at the end.

What I like about this game is you can have as many players as you want (up to 4) which is good when its just my daughter and I that play, and sometimes my daughter plays on her own with it. It's also a very strong game considering all the bashing about its had in my home and never broken.

The down sides to this game is firstly the noise, as its so loud even with just one player, so make sure you get plenty of headache tablets in!!

The second is the balls, as you end up losing most of them so i suggest keeping them in a small bag.

My daughter still enjoys this game, it gives her hours of fun and for me i've had value for money as its had so much play out of it.

Summary: well worth buying
