This is such a cute and entertaining little toy! My six year olds LOVED it. My 2 1/2 year old and 3 year old thinks its great and love to carry them around. One of the bugs stopped working within an hour and the hex bug company helped exchange it. So, great customer service as well.

Not much more to add after reading the first reviewers comments....other than playing this with my 2 grand-daughters is SO much fun, they BOTH love the game, ages 11 & 17!!  I'm a huge fan of 2-D platformers, all the "old-time/retro" games, Super Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and so on, which I have all of for my NES/SuperNES, PS2, NDS & Wii.  I just picked Rayman Origins up a week ago at our local Game store and tryed it out myself and loved it, when my girls came over to stay tonight and saw I had it, they couldn't wait to put it in and try it out themselves!  Needless to say, Mema is gonna have fun trying to get these 2 in bed tonight for school tomorrow!! lol  If that's not enuff to convince you to get this game, then you're probably not into these kind of games!

Very fun, and I know someone might give me a hard time for not making it FIVE stars.  But FOUR still is a positive review and I this is great little filler game to get the party started.  You can easily play about 4-5 games of this in under 10 minutes.  It can be played loud or just as fun.....silently!  I can't see ever making an entire night of it and it WON'T work with someone who can't be mobile (we had a person with a hurt foot in the group) because of "Switcheroo".  I also don't see it working very well at all with 3 people.  Four minimum, in my opinion.

Simple to put together and fun for every age! I ordered two so my kids could each play at the same time...not necessary but does make it fun for them to try and launch the rockets at the same time. I can see why it's useful to have some extras so glad I chose this one with the extra rockets. This way, you can keep launching them and then go collect them. Or, if you temporarily lose one in a neighbors yard, the fun can continue!

This game was very easy to assemble, and fast playing enough to keep us all laughing! Even our son, who struggles with siiliness, laughed the whole time. Thank you for a great way to have fun!

Unlike some of the other buyers, I am NOT a hardcore "Gamer". I bought this game for it's simplicity. I wanted something to pass the time and have a little fun with. This game has just enough variability to be interesting. It wasn't difficult to play and was just what I wanted....to enjoy...not to be frustrated.

Simple and easy to learn. I haven't played this with anyone that couldn't figure it out after one round of play. Everyone loves it! :)

Fun, simple game. Always a blast! Even toddlers can play--we showed my 2-year-old videos on YouTube of people playing Jenga, and she immediately got it...and she's really good! Great for fine motor development.

Army Vs Aliens: 2 Players, Ages 8+, Average Play Time = 15 Minutes

This is a surprisingly simple, yet fun game to play.  Its quick play time appeals to me now that school has started back up for the kids...what with homework, projects, and all of that fun stuff.  Set up and clean up are also very quick, making it ideal for travel.  I also appreciated the player guides as they saved me from having to refer to the manual, though I rarely had to consult it once the kids and I got a few games under our belts.

My son Vinnie (11) had the most fun utilizing special abilities.  The nuke can be devastating if used properly...though it destroys units on both sides so it should be used with care.  The general, when moved to the rally zone, promotes units of one rank to the next rank.  I spent most of my time as the aliens and utilized the mothership ability when I could, as it destroys two army units that are in the combat zone.  Lastly, the overlord simply removes two dice from the combat zone into the rally zone.  While both sides have units of the same rank and play the same way, these special abilities and what they do sets them apart fairly well.

If more than one copy of the game is available, players can make use of variants listed in the manual.  One of these variations describes an "every man for himself" game while the other is team based.  I don't have another copy to try these out, but I'm glad the option is there regardless.  Still, games are quick enough to where players won't be bored waiting to take their turn.

Overall, Army Vs Aliens is a fun, casual game that is an excellent filler in between longer games, or for when time is a valuable commodity.  It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does what it sets out to do well.  If you're a fan of quick dice games and are looking for something new to pick up and play, then give Army Vs Aliens a look!

This game is AWESOME, FUN with a capital F and something that brings everyone together and gets you laughing!  Excellent memory type game, easy to play for younger children, say as young as 6 and great for those cold winter "Mom I am bored" moments.  Bring the Pictureka and BRING THE FUN!

This game is an absolute BLAST!!  The whole family loves it and it is always provides a laughter-filled time with squeals and giggles from our younger ones as the little bug wreaks havoc on the players.  We love that a full game can be played in 10-20 minutes and it is non stop action.

Unlike many modern games, this is very well constructed and even the game board itself feels solid and like it will last.  It is a completely unique and blessedly simple game that anyone can quickly jump in and play.  You simply set up the unique double sided game board in such a manner that it creates a sort of basement under the playing surface. (They could have left the underside of the game board looking plain, but they went the extra step and gave it a fun look, similar to the game board itself...a nice touch!)  You then slide the 2 tunnels into place and you are ready to go!

Game play begins when you set the Hex bug loose.  He scurries about under the board and in and out of the tunnels.  While he is in the tunnels, players all take turns racing across the game board (from one side to another) via roll of the die.  When the Hex bug is running amok on the gameboard, all game movement freezes, while Hex bug pushes game pieces around, but the cheering and excitement takes over!  Everyone roots for their game piece "bugs" to not be sent back to start (if Hex bug pushes a game piece bug off its space and leaves it out in the middle) or even better, they hope to be launched ahead (if Hex bug pushes a game piece to a space further ahead).  The entire course of the game can be changed with one wild visit from the crazy little Hex bug!

The only change I would make to this game is the color of the game pieces.  They have an awesome bright blue, a nice bright orange and inexplicably chose 2 shades of green....light and dark.  Hmmm.  Totally weird!  Why not have a set of green pieces and a set of yellow...or purple....red...something completely different as opposed to 2 shades of the same color?  It probably should not be an issue, but it creates some confusion in our house when we ask someone to move our green bug for us and it is a case of "which green are you again?"

This is a seriously fun, fresh, hilarious game that we are all enjoying!  It is such a simple design, rounds are quick and the bug is completely awesome and adorable!  Even our 2 yr old jumps in on the action and squeals with sheer delight over the Hex bug!

I was reluctant to place this on my 5 year old's Christmas list, but I'm so glad that I did!  It was a blast, not only does she love it, my 1 year old likes to bang the mallets, and even the adults couldn't stop playing!  It's a game for either one or two players, nice for kids, as they can play  alone if they wish.  I'd recommend this for anyone who just wants to have  fun--the little mole "voices" are adorable, too!
