i've been looking for a fun, affortable laser-tag set to get for my niece and nephew for Christmas (ok, for me too) and wasn't sure if the Light Strikes were all that great... this review DEFINITELY cleared that up for me. i, er...i mean THEY, are gonna have a blast with these! GREAT review, and thanks!
10:15 my most favorite mode of the IT is definitely bomb mode because one of you shoot the ITS enough times it will send out a shockwave base pulse that will deactivate anyone’s blaster within a set perimeter
I embedded your review of Light Strike to the A-Kon 24 Facebook Forums, to show off the Light Strike weapons. I'm planning a Light Strike battle meet at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas during A-Kon 24. I have some interesting rules to make the game interesting and balanced. Cats and Mouse is my favorite gametype Hope some of you all will check it out! Make Light Strike known to nerds everywhere!
I got the yellow and orange pistols from goodwill for 3 dollars each, and I prefer the grip on the yellow over the orange. The front of the orange grip digs into my fingers.
Any specific ones? I'm trying to avoid stuff I've had on here before unless it's something I can do a decent review of (For example, I'm gunning for the Create-A-Monster request right now since it adds something new). I plan on doing a quick wave 2 Monsuno review, but it would be short since there isn't much to add. Bakugan is the exception, of course, and I plan on going over some at some point.
Great review, and lots of fun! I picked my Light Strike stuff up cheap (on sale) here in Australia a couple of years ago and got everything accept the red pistol and the ITS (I actually never saw an ITS in any shops here, sadly, but would still love one if I can ever find one online!) It's really sad that they got discontinued (its why there were on sale!) so quickly, especially as Hasbro/Nerf dropped the ball somewhat with not supporting the laser tag (Phoenix) system they bought out. Extra sad because Nerf is still going strong despite having far less "play value" (IMO) than laser tag, and kind of sad that laser tag in general isn't as big as it used to be in the 90's as a sign kids today prefer to sit at a video console yelling obscenities at strangers than run around in the park or a "Zone 3" style arcade. Why did it fail? My thoughts: 1) I think aesthetics of the guns are one reason... they look amazing in pictures, then you hold one and they're so... flat! All that detail is mostly stickers! A big, chunky Nerf rifle has a lot more heft and roleplay appeal to kids, I think. 2) The lack of scoring or "tying" the vests and guns together is a *massive* oversight. Most of all, as this reviews says, why do the vests not knock out the linked gun when all lives are lost? That just seems like a baffling error. I'd love to see this system revisited and updated, as it has the potential to be the best laser tag system ever made. The mods are so much fun, the sounds and lights are great, and the ITS (from what I've seen... sob!) is a great idea. They just need a 2.0 version that links the guns and "packs", sell "sets" (like Photon and LaserTag used to, so kids can buy a vest and gun together), fix the shield system (no firing?), maybe add some sort of indicator of your current weapon, and - most of all - implement scoring and game modes. Sadly, I doubt we'll ever see more from Light Strike, and it seems there is no other laser tag system currently trying to grab the market either. :(
I loved this review!!!!!!!!! Great job manbut the reason I never got these when I was younger was cause they were expensive. BUT LISTEN TO THIS!!! At 12:17 of this video, I saw and bought the gun on the right for 5.95!!!! 5:95!!!! And there usually like $30 or of that range for the bigger guns. I was so happy and just wanted to say found it at toy section of thrift store and it was the only one.
attach it to your dog when he is out walking the park at night and have fun... lol ;) did I just say that out loud.... and these are now £9.99 each at our local mart :)
Done. BTW, you guys can't cheat in these contests. I double-check the entry conditions if your entry comes up. If I can't confirm the entry, you get skipped.
I watched your review of the Light Striker by Wowwee. At the beginning you said something about the orange one not being reviewed for some reason you would get to later. I dont think you ever did explain why. Since that is the color I plan on buying 25 of is there anything wrong with it? From Joe U
I bought two assault strikers at walmart, 15 bucks each. Bought the refractor(grenade mod) at walmart, 5 bucks. Bought spare targets, 4 bucks for both together.
Hmm... well my little sister is very into Monster High. I know you did a small one when you did your Christmas Review Special, but maybe you could review one of their create a monster packs.
Than the rifle system crashes or turns off... I changed all the batteries 3 times, and the same problem happens. I have the GAP-024 pistol and I spends hours. I´m eletronic techniccian, and if you tell wich eletronic componnent in the mainboard could be the responsible for this problem, I can change or fix it. The Store that I purchased do not have another one to exchange, so I´m trying to solve it by myself because my son and I love this toy!

The one thing good about this light strike I was able to make my own version of the vest targets anyone interested on how send me a message I love light strike and still buying more items for it plus planning on providing ideas on light strike battles
This is EXACTLY the review I was looking for! Thank you!

I keep watching this over and over because it's the only *good* LS review.
Yep
Best toys as a kid. Wish I still had mine.
Aw man, this really makes me want to buy some Lightstrike. I just wish they weren't so darn expensive!
JettKuso check it out now lol, 😆 why am I commenting on a 7 year old comment. Help, I need friends
That review was amazing... the only review that ever kept me watching for the whole video. =D
+Seanerzat WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE?! WHYYYYYY!??!?!
SyKi HAHAHA XD ;D
There are settings on the vest right or is it really a money waste because i want to get 2 like the real laser tag games
10:15 my most favorite mode of the IT is definitely bomb mode because one of you shoot the ITS enough times it will send out a shockwave base pulse that will deactivate anyone’s blaster within a set perimeter
This video is very nostalgic. Guess who just bought a decent amount of lightstrike items
I miss these
I was, for whatever reason, sent a full case of them which contained one of each. I kept one of them sealed so I could give it away as a prize.
