It's Ok
Works great and is fun if you can keep up with the men. My two sons were to rough with the men and broke a lot of them. Good game, just be careful with the men. They are fragile and easy to lose.

vibrating action, what can i say
The base of this game is really the only thing I needed. I read all the other very helpful reviews. They were all right on the spot about the VERY POOR Quality of the game pieces. I have the old ones made back in the 60's and 70's and the action players were made with some pride and NOT the CHEAPIST WAY POSSIBLE. You would think as technology increases, our games of old would follow that trend! Sadly, toy manufacturers only are concerned for the BOTTOM LINE! Profit, not PRIDE and a well made ALL-AROUND product!!! You would think they would learn, in long end YOU LOSE!! Spend more up front with a great product, and YOU WIN, cause people continue to want more instead of shipping the Crappy Crap Back!!!

Wouldn't buy it again
The football players break very easily, game not made very well.
Sounded like a fun game, but kids got bored quickly with it.

waste of money
The game is visually appealing and we were all excited to get it out of the box. Set up was easy. But game play was problematic. Really the only plays with a prayer of success were running plays. The idea that the quaterback(2 supplied- 1 broke instantly) could toss this tiny foam ball such that it would strike a teamate(=completion)is ridiculous. If it did occur, the chances that you could actually see this happen is even more ridiculous.

Broken from the start
I bought this for all the boys at xmas this year. When we opened it there were 3 football guys that were already broken off their base. We played a few downs and the kicker/quarterback broke when trying to pass the cheap footballs the include with the game. So we played for about 10min and basically 6 pieces were already broken. The manual also is very brief and does not explain how to play very well. The scoreboard was missing the tape to attach it to the playing field.

Do not waste your money on this poorly made game. Everything about it is cheap and I threw it away.

My Princess LOVES it!
"Santa" brought this for my four year old daughter this Christmas. She was so excited to see it and was even more excited to play in it. Putting it together was simple and the metal frame and cover are very durable. We've been using it regularly for 3 months and so far the castle has kept it's shape. There is much more room inside than the Lily Dream House and it's perfect for my Disney Princess lover! Right now she keeps her American Girl dolls inside it with a wooden doll care center, the dream house matching table and chairs (blow-up), and she still has enough room to move around and play. She doesn't play with the wand or frog very much, but the dress was suprisingly well made. I was expecting one of those cheap dresses you see on the toy aisle at wal-mart, but instead we got a really nice play outfit. When we aren't using it I put them side by side against a wall or inside on another, although, she prefers for it to be together. We chose not to buy the washing machine, stove, sink etc. I saw them at toys r us and they are so small and frail. The pressed cardboard looks good, but once it's used it starts to come apart. They don't even look like very much fun to play with.
The castle on the other hand has been perfect!

Can't put together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so frustrated! I am trying to put this princess castle together and I have the frame put up, thats easy enough, but the fabric seems too small! I have been trying for over 2 hours to get the frabic on the back end alone! No one else is complaining of it being hard to put together and I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I have triple checked my progress and I haven't done anything wrong. I don't kwno what to do other than send it back :(

Wondeful Princess Castle
We got this for our girls (ages 2 and 5) and so far, it is a big hit! It took a little while to put it together, but it wasn't too bad. We also got it for a really good price - I think around , so be sure to watch for when they lower the price. I love that it comes in 2 large pieces so that you can open it up and play with it that way. When we do that, then each of our girls has a "stage" to perform on. They love to go through the gold doors. And it is definitely big enough for all of us to get into. I would highly recommend it! Just make sure you have a big room to put it in. It takes up a lot of space.

excellent value
My 18 month old daughter Lili got this for Christmas. We found it on clearance for under .00 at Toys R Us. She loves it as does our 5 year old son. It took my 21 yr old son about 45 minutes to put together, the fabric is the most time consuming part. Our family of 5 can all fit in this castle at the same time, so it is plenty big. I wish I would have bought all the other items like the vanity, cherry blossom market, nursery, etc. A great product that I think will last!

The Castle
My 3 years old daughter loves being a Princess and wanted a castle. I read the reviews on this one and purchased it because of the great reviews. I was not disappointed and my daughter loves the castle. It is big enough for 2 or 3 little girls to play in and comes with a Princess tiara, dress and wand.

5 in 1
Overall, great product. Large, durable, my Nephew loves it. Can't wait to get it out of the basement and into the yard/driveway this Spring. Only real complaint, the balls that come with it are pretty cheap. Other than that, pretty good product.

Great Activity Toy
This is a great toy for kids. Has all sorts of things to do with it - very durable and space efficient. Was the hit of Christmas.

excellent for your sports lover!
This sports center is awesome. My 2 and 3.5 year old boys are mega sports kids and just adore this. They play with it every day and use every area of it. They love throwing the balls through the football hole the most. It's very very well made, sturdy, good looking and high quality. I like that you can adjust the height too so it can grow with your kids. The balls/hockey stick that come with the set are good quality too and the perfect size for toddlers. Overall, we're extremely happy with this and highly recommend - worth the price if your kids are into sports!!

My little boy loves this!
We bought this for my sons 3rd birthday! He loves it! (and so do the neighbors!) It's nice because there are lots of options....basketball, soccer, football etc. Unfortunately, my sons birthday is in November, so at the moment it is in my garage until the spring when I'm sure we'll get even more use out of it! I would definitely recommend this toy!

Fun for the whole family
I bought this for my my 4 year old son's birthday. The balls are the perfect size for his little hands. My 18 month old daugher also loves to kick the soccer ball in the goal and throw the balls. My husband and I find ourselves seeing who can score more baskets. It has truely been fun for the entire family.
