Summary: This game is...SUPER!
Comment: This game is your basic ages old memory game. We have owned a couple other card versions of "Memory." I cannot get my 3-year old son to concentrate on the card games,this version is another story. This game has 10 super hero figures that come apart at the waist into heads and feet. He plays the game as was meant and when he makes a match he is is so excited because it actually accomplishes something when he gets to put the 2 body halves together to create a figure. Then he can play with them when the game is over. The figures are ADORABLE! They are so little and chunky and cute. Additionally, the hard plastic case, which flips over for use as the game board, has kept the peices from getting lost because it can take a little hauling around and little boy abuse without breaking and being incapable of holding the pieces. Now, we got ours several months ago and paid nothing close to this price for it (I think we paid [...]) and for that price it was a steal! I might pay up to [...] for this. I would definitely recommend this, it is SO cute and the quality is very nice.

Summary: Quick, fun, and easy to learn...
Comment: I bought this game for my 2 & 1/2 year old son for Christmas. I really wasn't sure if he would understand it, but both he and his older brother (4) have loved playing it. The game is easy to set up (although, unlike regular Memory, one person has to place the pieces-so that person knows where they are) and the kids have fun lifting the cups to see what's hiding underneath. My younger boy needs some coaching (he likes to pick the same two cups every turn) but my older boy has figured out the strategy and plays quite well.
I like the fact that this game has plastic pieces, instead of cards (which get torn or lost) and the plastic case is a nice bonus.
My only problem with this game is that it can be difficult to tell which feet go with each head. Fortunately, the manufactures have included a key to help you make the right matches. Now that we have played it a few times, we are all getting better at knowing whose feet are whose.
Overall, I think this is a really well-designed game. I reccommend it to parents who enjoy playing games with their young children (it might be tough for a young kind to set up without an adult). We all have fun playing this, and it is nice to have a game that both of my boys can play without conflict!

Summary: Good Geek Indoctrination
Comment: is my son's favorite Christmas present, which is awesome because I'm a geek and nothing makes me happier than making my son into a little geek too. It's nothing remarkable at first glance--just a 3-D memory game, but it quickly becomes apparent that this is something special. There's ten super heroes present, some great and others "meh." My son immediately took to Spider-Man, but quickly learned to love and respect The Thing, Wolverine, Spider-Girl, Storm, Cyclops from the X-Men, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and The Hulk. Anyway, all ten of the heroes are about three inches high and awfully cute. The miniaturization of the characters is not so flattering for the female characters who appear a bit chubby to be generous. On one hand, that's a good thing because comic characters tend to be overly sexualized, but on the other hand, it may be awkward when they go from the "safe" versions to the busty and leggy versions.
Gameplay is pretty straightfoward, with each hero being torn asunder in two (head/arms and legs), each of which is hidden under a grey cup. You take turns lifting the cups and trying to find both halves of the heroes. Or, if you are my three-year old son, you lift up the same two cups every turn and act surprised that you found the head of Spider-Girl and the feet of Iron Man.
I've played this game about 700 times or so since Christmas and I think I can safely say that cleanup is a snap, the game plays well, and the game pieces seem to convert into tiny impotent little action figures that save the world in frozen poses.
If there's a problem, it's a geeky one: Spider-Girl exists outside of regular Marvel continuity (she is an alternate universe daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Parker) so her inclusion is a bit odd. Why not include Elektra instead? Just because she's an assassin? It seems a bit narrow minded to me.

Summary: LOVE LOVE LOVE this toy!
Comment: I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old son, and he TOTALLY loves it. He knows all the characters and is an ace at matching them up now! He also loves to play with the figures by themselves, which has lead to some missing heads and bodies, but no worries I ordered another one off Amazon for backup. My kid is a huge Spidey fan, but his friends who aren't love this game too. I def reccommend this toy/game for any child!

Summary: Great Game!
Comment: Our 3 year old son LOVES this game! It has 10 plastic super-hero characters that come apart at the waist. You put the tops on one side, and the bottoms on the other side. Cover them with the provided cups, and uncover to see if you can remember which top and bottom match. Of course, he already knows which pieces go together, I still have to consult the "map"(which incidentally is kind of small). Wish they had a "princess" equivalent game for our 3 year old daughter.
