My only negative is that there isn’t any multi-player option.

Seems to me if you want a two player game you should buy two of them and they can race against each other. But if the $75 is to much than play kick the can its much cheaper.

Following that logic, wouldn’t one become rapidly bored with a book? I like this game, I play it often and can’t get enough!

Most people lack the ability to focus on driving their car for more than 5 minutes much less concentrating on a little ball in an obstacle course. I think it would become boring quite rapidly. I can find much more amusing toys for $75. Maybe a book to expand your mind?!

I was able to try this at GenCon this year. It took about 5 seconds to learn how it works and then the rest of the 5 minute demo flew by as I was trying to just focus on the challenge. Interesting game to say the least. My only negative is that there isn’t any multi-player option. (other than timing each other to see how far you can get in the course in a set time)

I like this game, very much, because it will be a metaphor to get confidence for overcomes the obstacles that arise in the life.

[...] Crunchgear’s review and comments dismiss this as a boring, derivative game. They probably would said the same thing about Pacman and Donkey Kong, but you have to start somewhere. The potential for these games and technology is truly something straight out of science fiction. [...]

A thought gang. Consider we have an aging society who, if hey want to prevent dementia if they don’t have it, slow it if they have the beginning signs, or those trying to recover from brain injury, improve cognative function, improve ADD, or are recovering from a brain injury. Then there are those who have a need to lower blood pressure. Great for all of the above.

Consider those children whose parents limit the use of sensless tv, cell phones, or video games (all are fine in moderation.) then this so called toy is good for the brain

I could see competitions developing around this and how well you can focus your mind. Maybe this could have some kind of online function where it has a second ball that moves around in the same field based on what the other person is doing.

Love the mind control, but the “manoeuvre a polystyrene ball through an obstacle course” style game has been around about 25 years.

Interesting, it looks sort of like the game in that one episode of StarTrek TNG.

I can see many buying this to rip apart and hack it into something more interesting. They should offer the device as a platform to allow others to build more interesting games and such from it. Either that or at least make it part of the Wii and maybe some thinking games.
