NEW DREAMGEAR DGWII-1148 NINTENDO WIITM TWIN STAR SABERS (VIDEO GAME ACCESS) Review

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!
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.

Wii Blast Saber Combo pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a well made product but it doesn't work well with the Wii remotes. When the sabers are on the remotes it is very hard to play the Star Wars game. It is hard to do a lot of the actions and movements when the sabers are on the remote. While they can still be played with as light sabers, they do not work for the purpose intended.

Wii Glowing Laser Sword Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first received the item it looked nice and seemed well put together, but during game play, the wood got in the way of the signal a lot, also the top part came off after relatively few swings. I think the weight of it is an issue also for younger people, they could hurt themselves or friends with it.

Blast Saber Combo for Wii with Wii Motion Plus Compatibility Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the idea is great, the design leaves a LOT to be desired. First, it's tough to get the remote into the handle. After we finally wrestled the remotes into the sabers (with our children dancing about us impatiently) my husband and I discovered that the sabers BLOCK the remote's signal!!! We had to pry the remote back out to start the game!
After one round of dueling in Sports Resort, the kids wanted them off. Don't waste your money on these!

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.

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.

Dual Glow Sabers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got these light sabers for my small sons. They looked really cool and there were two in the package - a bargain? I have three problems with them:
1. The construction of this light saber does not completely mesh with the wii controller. Buttons are too easily activated - and we are talking buttons that you didn't want pressed! Frustration level can be high. Who wants to carefully use a light saber with the most controlled and lightest of touches when you are busy fighting the dark forces!
2. The craftsmanship is for the birds (but what these days aren't?) and after 2 weeks of usage by adults, it is cracking along the seams. Thankfully, I still have the receipt.
3. This is not a complaint against the light sabers but just a tip on their use. They work with Clone Wars and the like but no so much with the Lego, Complete Saga game. The original recipients of this item were my young kids but they were kind of useless for their G-Rated game. Although they LOVED to swing them around, it did not do much in the way of helping them in the game.
I am not sure about getting the higher priced ones since I hear they have problems too....
