Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got these as a birthday present and was extremely excited to use them with my children playing Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels and Star Wars: the Force Unleashed. Who wouldn't be? They power on by lighting up the "lightsaber" and make the powering on noise from the films. When you swing them they occasionally make the swishing sounds from the movies. I love the idea of being able to play the sword fighting games with light sabers!
Unfortunately, the calibration is off. You have to take the controllers out of the saber every game and even then they don't seem to register well ruding the game to wild-swinging game settled by luck. And with two children this can be dangerous! (Swinging the sabers is still fun, even if they don't work for the games, which is why I gave this a 3 for fun.)
Also, the plastic that straps it on to the Wiimote is really cheap. The Wiimote sets into the bottom of the saber, then the top part folds down on top (like the cockpit of a jet closing), with two slide locks on each side. The problem is that the slide locks are extremely fragile and wont hold the Wiimote in during wild battles. So to resolve this we had to constantly hold the silver part of the sabers instead of the more natural Wiimote. (I'm thinking of adding some kind of strap.)
Bottom line - these accessories like a lot of Wii accessories bummed us out. We ended up taking them off and playing without. For kids to play without swords should give you your answer on whether or not you want to buy this.
