Amazing, just get one
Don't even think about it, just get one. I went into a laughing spasm, watching the grand kids interacting with this. They are 2, 4, 8, 13. There are 5 games included, but one of them has lots of mini games. These are so much fun. Copy Cat is hillarious lol. So simple, and kids can play against adults, without being at a disadvantage. I didn't win all of them lol. The grumpy 13 year old even enjoyed it, and she beat my high score. I need my revenge :)

My kids love It
Brilliant fun you get a few free game then you have to buy a subscription for 90 quid that gives you lots of games for a year S
Nadine, 25 - 34
Awesome For kids and familys
I was pleasantly surprised how good this is. It actually tracks each person even when you cross over and change places. It knows who is who and your on screen character stays with you, unlike some other systems who would just track left and right so your player would change if you swapped spots. Its super easy to install, it's just 2 cables and then the remote. Super easy calibration and great for multiplying with family. Everything is just responsive and fun. Has a subscription for other games, but to be fair it's pretty cheap and you get a good fair amount of games

Nex Playground
Bought for my grandsons age 3&4 years old, as a Christmas present. Buying a years pass as well separately. Will keep them entertained, as no hand held handsets needed.

Worth it for the Bluey games alone!
This is awesome, brilliant mix of games and it is easy enough for our six year old to play without much help (although some reading is required on some of the games). The standout for us has definitely been the Bluey games! Musical statues is worth the price of the play pass alone! I was a bit sceptical that having such good IP licenses might mean the actual games could be phoned in a bit, but no! The actual games all have a real quality about them, you can tell a lot of effort has been put into them from the development side.
