Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a family of seven, so we splurged for xmas and bought two sets of four gun/vest combos. The products are well made, and easy to use. My family spent a couple of hours running through our house staying active and competitive with out the clean up associated with other type games (looking at you, nerf.) Our biggest complaint, and the cause of most of our fights during play, is the vest and gun do not sync together. You can shoot a player's gun or his/her vest. But we ran into constant issues where a players vest would be "dead" and they would continue shooting, or they would have remaining lives on their vest, but their gun would shut down indicating the player is eliminated. Eventually we were forced to turn the receivers off on the guns and only count hits to the vest, but that resulted in a match where everyone hid their chests from view and stuck guns around corners, spraying the room until someone slipped up and exposed the chest sensor to a hit. These are enjoyable products, and we cannot wait to try them outside in the woods behind our house when weather allows. But I would have stated unequivocally that these are worth the money had this one major oversight been corrected prior to sale. As they stand, I can only deliver four out of the five possible stars.
