Summary: At least toss in a few more phrases for the comedy value
Comment: It was a cheap toy, I bought several to get the free shipping planning to sell the other two...very cute idea, very poor implementation, unlike hot potato you can't vary the timer it's all internal. I have to agree the volume is a bit low, I bought this to play with the adult pirate crew but it doesn't even have a variety of funny comments to keep it amusing...now if I could figure out how to reprogram the chip and make it say more and much more adult commentary......... They need to rerelease the toy make it say more, make the time much more variable and come out with an adult version. Good idea but it flopped, may be sending the other two back haven't decided yet.

Summary: nice idea, but falls short
Comment: We bought this pirate game for our 5-year-old son. We don't play with it as intended. It is a "hot potato" type game, with vibration, voices, and finally an explosion at the end...that part is cute. In my opinion though, the plastic is too hard to use as it is supposed to be since play gets faster and faster towards the end of "hot potato". Our kids (ages 7, 5, and 3) were playing it and as it was going off, our 5-year-old threw it towards the 3-year-old and hit her in the head. It could also break something in the house as they whip it away from themselves, trying not to get caught with the bomb at the end of the game. We have since used it as a bomb to hide or set at someone's feet and they laugh about it "going off" as a "gottcha" type game. I would not buy it again.

Summary: ok
Comment: My 5 year old son really likes the idea of this game, but I can hardly tell when it is exploding. It kind of vibrates. If your kids like pirate stuff, they will still probably like it. Seems to be well made. It does makes noise as the fuse is going down and has a few phrases. Overall, not bad, just a little lacking in explosions.

Customer Rating:
Summary: not a party game
Comment: I ignored the reviews and bought this for my son's pirate birthday party. We played it as a family before the party and had fun but it was a dud at the party. With the noise from about a dozen kids you cannot hear the "explosion". Cute idea but should be louder.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not a lot of blasting going on
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R32IF6N7P5MBIK Although this is a cute little bomb, it's kind of on the small side, and far too quiet for a boisterous kiddie party. As a matter of fact, if you can hear it go off, it means that your party really isn't going very well and everybody's sound asleep.

It has a couple of things going for it, in that it's durable and has a sweet vibration effect (I noticed adults playing with it for suspiciously long periods of time), but if you're using it for a party game, you'll need to have your on/off music for back-up.

Good for a prop, but as a bomb it's a fizzle.
