Bop It Extreme 2 in Action, Meredith Flynn

Bop It Download and Bop It Extreme 2 are fun and addictive games to test reflexes, concentration and co-ordination skills for kids and adults.

Bop It Download, the latest addition to the popular Hasbro Bop It range, builds on the success of Bop It Extreme 2. Both games test concentration and reflex skills and provide hours of entertainment for individuals or groups.

Bop-It Extreme 2

Players respond to voice commands instructing them to Flick It, Twist It, Pull It, Spin It or Bop It. Five different attachments on the game handset represent each actions. Players have only a few seconds to respond to the commands to keep the game in play.

When a player makes a wrong move or reacts too slowly, a rather sarcastic voice responds and provides the score. After every 16 moves there is a brief pause and a change of background music.

Bop It Extreme 2 is an ideal game for school aged children to use to develop co-ordination and concentration skills.

There are three modes of game play:

Bop It Download

Bop It Download features extra functions to increase the complexity and excitement of the game. The game handset and action attachments have been slightly modified and Bop It Extreme players may find it takes some time to adjust to the new Twist It shape particularly. Each attachment is a different colour and is illuminated by a light during different levels of game play. The central Bop It button is a different colour on each side of the handset.

Older children and adults will appreciate the new skill levels and play options, which prevent the game becoming tedious for more adept players. These levels have replaced the Vox Bop or Beat Bop options of the earlier model.

The introduction of skill levels and the difficulty of the higher levels may frustrate younger players with poorer co-ordination skills.

Fun and Challenging Game for One or More Players

Bop It Extreme 2 and Bop It Download are ideal party games as well as being fun for individual play. They are challenging as well as entertaining across a range of ages. Both are marketed for ages 8+, however Bop it Download is perhaps better suited to slightly older children and provides more of a challenge for teenage and adult players. They are a great gift idea for hard to buy for school-aged boys and teenagers.
