Battle Action Laser Tag

Fun for kids: I bought this for my son’s 12th birthday in hopes to give him something other than video games or more screen time, and it was a hit. All his friends were super excited and couldn’t wait to set up the game. They played several hours during daylight and then played a while longer in the dark. Everyone loved it and it was super easy to set up. Battery life: So far it lasted several hours without dying we charged them once the kids were done so they would be ready for the next time so we never ran them completely dead. Why did you pick this product vs others?: I went with this set due to it being rechargeable. Most other options had many reviews about using up tons of batteries so this seemed worth the try and so far we are super happy with it. I will say the charging wires for the chest plates are small and seem like if not carefully removed each time they could break easily, but we have told the kids to leave them on the charger until we get them so hopefully they will last longer. Over all very happy with the product

We have had this set for over a year now and it is one of our favorite games! My kids are still young (5 & 2.5) and they love it. The battery lasts long and charging is easy and convenient! We tell all of our friends to ask for this for gifts because the whole family loves it!

These are actually awesome for the price. My son loves it. Even great for adults. Quality is great. Might be my favorite toy I've gotten for my son (4) on Amazon. If you are looking for Lazer tag get this one.

We bought 2 sets of this for my son and his friends. Thinking it might not survive the aggressive play. The Hero Squad 2.0 has surpassed what I thought about home laser tag equipment and to be honest by the end of the month, I believe I will purchase more sets of this because now all the kids want to come over and play. The guns are easy to pair with the vest. The guns have color on them but that does not necessarily mean that they are on that color team. The real team color will actually light up throughout the gun and vest. We did have a minor charging issue where it acted as if it wouldn't charge while on the dock. We disconnected it all even from the wall, played with the unit and when we put it back on the charger it connected without issue. One feature I enjoyed is that there are 4 different kinds of firing mode each with different strength levels. For instance, if you use pistol mode, its accurate within 30-40 feet, and it only takes one life away and you can fire quickly. But in AR mode the rounds are further apart, its more accurate at longer distances and it takes two lives away. Then my favorite is what I call "sniper mode" where you can shoot up to 100-130 feet accurately, it takes 3 lives away at contact, but there is a longer reload time. Hero Squad 2.0 has been fun for all ages. My goal is to add to the two sets we have, and play capture the flag with two teams of 8. The parents occasionally will join the "fight" in disbelief of how good the connectivity is. And they are usuall impressed. My little kids (ages 3-6) will run throughout the house playing and by the end of the day they have tired themselves out. One thing I wish this offered is an app to see who's in and who is out of the round. But no company offers that at this point. In silent mode a team can lose all their lives, turn the system off and restart it and no one would know that they were "out."

I bought these for our church youth group. We haven’t played yet. The packaging is slick! Very nice, high quality, full color illustrations and secure packing. The guns have all the bells and whistles. They feel great in your hand, and the reload button being where the clip would be is a cool and satisfying touch. I wish the vest were more of a vest. It’s just a sensor strapped to your chest. I expect it’ll be easy for kids to his the sensor with their gun/arms, even if they don’t intend to cheat, but especially off they do. A deluxe vest option would be nice, with a back sensor and shoulder sensors, and maybe a sensor on the gun, too. Setup is remarkably straightforward, and leaves game options open. This is a versatile setup. Just link any gun to any vest by shooting it after turning it on. Then select the team. The guns come in 4 colors: red, blue, green, and orange, but any gun can be paired with any vest, and then the color/team can be selected so that the bright, colorful lights display the team color, which doesn’t have to reflect the painted color of the gun/vest. Any gun can select any of 4 team colors, and the lights on the gun/vest are predominantly the selected color. For example, the red painted gun can be paired with the green vest, and both units can be set to the blue team, and will show blue lights that are more prominent than the paint color. You will know which team you’re on, especially in the dark. There is a flashlight feature on each gun, but the flashlight is always green; it does not change colors depending on the team. But that doesn’t trick people into thinking the player is on the green team because the other lights are so brilliant. I bought 6 sets of 4, and with the setup, I can have two teams of 12 or 4 teams of 6. I could even set up a “Hunter” game where 1 or a small number of people are being hunted by the rest. Each gun/vest set can be assigned up to 99 lives, and different people could have different numbers of lives in the same game. The default number of lives is 15. Once a player loses their last life, the lights on their set will go dark and the gun will have to be paired to the vest again before starting a new game. Everything else works as claimed in the product description. This is a well designed item, and I can’t wait to play with the kids! This is going to be something we enjoy for a long time!

So much fun! We purchased this for our 10-year-old son for Christmas, it is probably the best gift we have ever given him. He wants to play laser tag all the time. Our entire family joins in. It is very easy to set up to play. The charge lasts a very long time. I like that it does not require batteries. It was a great purchase!

Second set. Best set available. Great features, flexible team play options, good vest adjustment, and fun sounds. Would give it 4.5 Stars on two accounts - the main issue is the game/death reset challenge and the suggested lack of overcharge protections (manual says don't leave on the charger more than 24 hrs.). After losing your lives and/or completing the game, you have to go through the entire setup process again, which is an utter pain. A third annoyance is the life counter adjustment; you can't press and hold to increase the lives, but have to push the button 80+ times to reach 99.

We got two (sets of four) for our family of five. The sets pair together great - you're still only going to get a total of four possible teams, but you can easily pair vests together from another set to be on the same team (same color). Mom, Dad, and kids 14, 12, and 8 have had an absolute blast with these - they've kept charge for plenty of games in a row, so we usually wear out before the guns and vests do. Accuracy seems pretty good overall, although I always think it should be better. Instructions indicate that using them indoors can cause lasers to bounce off walls and inadvertently hit targets, but we haven't seen that happen - other than some sweet trick shots off mirrors in another room. Cons? Not many. I read in another review that resetting between games seems slightly more annoying than it should be. I agree, but honestly, I probably wouldn't have realized it had I not read that in the review. Once a game is over, each person has to power down both their gun and vest, then power back on, and reset your team and number of lives. Other than remembering your settings, this is kind of in my mind probably the best way to keep the game simple and fun. However, the screen is a tad difficult to read so you fumble around the slightest bit getting it set up - but it's something everyone from the Adults to the eight -year-old have perfected. Plus, this whole process takes you less than sixty seconds to get back up and going. Honestly, this Dad appreciates the breather between games. I was unsure on what set to get, so reviewed a handful of them and I am super happy to have gone with two of these sets which work great together. Kind of wishing there were additional components to purchase to extend game play to things like Capture the Flag, or additional sensors to place around. It has none of that - and in most ways, it's perfectly fine because it keeps it simple. That's what this set is - super simple, great fun, reliable hardware that works great and can extend to add additional sets. We're having a blast with the set and looking forward to warmer weather to play outside.

Excelente sistema, funciona muy bien

Was very very popular with our party attendees (kids and adults) - bought 2 kits (so 8 guns) which also worked well. The only thing I'd like to add is an app that does summaries of who hit who etc. even better if it was live. Oh, I wouldn't mind a weak laser targeting option too, that'd be fun.

Ok so far, these things have been awsome. Kids and I have used them approximately 5 times, with no troubles. Plenty of users mention the annoyance with having to reset after games are over. Yes thats a bit of a pain, but come on. Teach your spoiled rotten little brats how to do it themselves. My 4 yr old can do it by herself. The charging stations are absolutely fantastic. Battery life is surprisingly long. If I could make any suggestions to the game developers, it'd be to come out with some accessories. Some add on lasers would be awsome. These things need to be aimed in order to score a hit. A 4 yr old doesn't have the greatest aim. Another accessory that would be awsome would be a revive box that could be kept at each teams spawn point. Something you could shoot to get your lives back. It'd take this game from unorganized chaos, to pure organized fun. Either way though, these things are well worth the purchase.

We play often and it’s heaps of fun for the family. Quality is solid and setup is easy.

Ça fait 2 ans que je les ai acheté. Les enfants (7 et 10 ans) jouent régulièrement avec. Solide, fun, très bonne qualité globalement. On a joué en extérieur et en intérieur. On peut enlever le son... Car au bout d'un moment pour les parents ca devient assourdissant. Pour avoir régulièrement jouer avec les enfants je dirais que le seul point négatif est qu'il est possible de toucher quelqu'un non directement genre avec un reflet dans une vitre, une surface miroir ou parfois bêtement un mur mais bon c'est vraiment pas quelque chose d'embettant et ça n'arrive pas souvent. On a acheté ça parce-que les Nerfs, on trouve que les projectiles vont trop vites et c'est un peu dangereux. Ici, aucun problème. La boîte est bien foutu et on peut facilement y re-ranger tout le stock si on fait une pause pendant quelques semaines. Les enfants font aussi des jeux de rôle avec ça comme si ils étaient dans Star Wars et qu'ils visitaient des lieux avec des ennemis sur qui tirer.
