But you’re just in time to experience the all new Bop It – a new version with a new look, predicted to be in the top 10 Christmas toys this year.  It looks more like a musical instrument than the usual steering wheel shape game we are used to with Bop It Extreme 2, but with 1,000 levels and the new ‘Shout It’ command, this new ‘can’t be put down’ BopIt game will have you hooked before you know it.

So what is this new Bop It game and is it worth buying?

Bop It – a new version where you pull, twist, bop and now SHOUT. Are your reactions quick enough? You’ll soon be addicted. Don’t miss Party Bop.

Bop It – What Does It Do?

Bop It is an oval shaped, hand held, reaction game where a player’s skills are tested to see if they can follow commands issued by the game in the short time allowed.  The game itself has two levers that you are directed to either pull or twist along with a central button that you bang on (‘bop’) to depress. In addition there is a microphone that you may be directed to ‘shout’ into.

You compete to the beat as the game directs you to either pull, twist, shout or ‘bop’ in quick succession. If you do the right thing in time you carry on and your score is increased. If you fail, the game is over. The more you get right, the faster the game goes. As your high score increases, more of the 1000 difficulty levels will be unlocked.

In Party Bop mode you won’t be able to stop laughing as you use your whole body, by bopping it on your knees, elbows, and hips to win!

The game is for ages 8+ years and for 1+ players.

An 8 Year Olds Reason For Wanting The New Bop It

“It looks like fun pulling and twisting the buttons and shouting into it. I bet I can beat my Mum and Dad.”

Bop It – Is It Any Good?

This highly addictive game improves dexterity, memory and concentration, not just in your children, but also in you as you won’t be able to watch without having a go yourself. You have to listen carefully and react quickly, remembering where each button is to progress through the game. It will take a few goes to get the hang of but when you do, you won’t want to stop.

You can have fun with your children and work as a family team, taking turns in one of the game modes to see what high score your family can accumulate.

This new version is slightly better for younger children than the previous Bop It Extreme as there are two less levers to contend with, one being replaced by the Shout It command, which should be easier to master.

The game is ideal for individual or group play as children are keen to beat their previous best score as well as their friends. It is also handy enough to take out on trips or on holiday.

The game is well designed, being easy to hold and easy to use. It is also made of good quality, durable materials.
