 Great idea, poor product January 21, 2007

This was big on my 8 year-old son's Christmas list, mainly because of the Ben 10 game. He even wanted it more than any other game system. Although I wasn't about to pay full price for it, we got it at about 60% off for the main console. So we got it, paid for an extra controller, the Ben 10 Game CD, and a couple of Ben 10 Booster Packs.
The unwrapping was a hit, and the excitement of the first play-through went over great with my son. But I noticed right away that it was not going to last. The game itself contains graphics from about 10 years ago. The game play is difficult, and both my son and I would find it easy to die, thus restarting the game for both of us. You can only play with the characters that happens to have come in your game or booster packs, and that's not many. (Want more? Fork out more $$$ for more booster packs.) And finally, it takes so long to load from the CD (and it has to load EVERY level) that it must be a 1x drive. Seriously slow.
Although my son still loves the IDEA of it and has not admitted he's disappointed, he does comment on how slow it is, and how he wishes he had other kids to trade the cards with so he could get more. Apparently we were the only suckers to buy it around here. It hasn't been played but maybe 4 times in the one month since Christmas.
If you notice it to be on a HUGE discount, it may be worth it. But remember, you have to pay extra for more cards. Personally, I wish we'd bought a used GameCube with a few cartridges. That has way more staying power than the HyperScan will.
Yawn, not very good January 20, 2007

My 8 year old played Xmen for about a half hour on Christmas morning, and hasn't touched it since, even when I ask him to play!! Also, he hasn't even attempted to open the other game for the system - Ben 10, he's just not interested. The game is far too primitive in it's action and scenery when compared to other options ie. PS2, XBox, Gamecube. It needs more variety! The card scanning is time consuming and boring!
By the way, I love Amazon! FAST shipping, great prices!

Only works with cards bought specifically for this game. Currently not that many games available. My Sons likes Ben 10 starter pack, wish for more cards as starter only has six.
Sons initally thought that it would work with other playing cards such as Yu Gi Oh. Was disappointed that it doesn't. Wants Yu Gi Oh characters cards for this game (which as of yet don't exist)
 great console for the young ones! January 19, 2007

This was a great game to get my 2nd grader. He likes to collect the cards, and scanning them into the game is fun also.
He also likes the idea of having his very own console game too, not one he to share with the family like the PS2.
Only down side is that the cards come randomly packed. You dont always have a finishing move for a certain character. I guess thats why the booster packs.
All in all, a great game for the amazon price!
