TOY TESTER REVIEW - LEGO Games Banana Balance

As we know, Christmas provides the opportunity for the whole family to get together.  Almost as traditional as the turkey itself, families gather after Christmas Lunch to try out the latest games.  LEGO have created some fantastic games this year and Banana Balance is reputed to be one of the best for beginners.  Archie, one of our Toy Testers agreed to try out with his younger brother to check that it really is as good as we think.
LEGO Games Banana Balance - £7.99
PLAY VALUE - how much fun is the game?  

It was good because I can play it with my whole family, including my little six year old brother.

There are different ways of playing the game which is good and keeps you interested. You can even make your own rules up!

LONGEVITY – Is the toy a one off or will you play with it lots?

The game can last a very short time to a very long time. You will have to be a very skilled person to win this game! But it is a good bit of family entertainment.

PACKAGING – How easy was the packaging to remove? Is there too much packaging? Is it eco-friendly? 

There were only two bags in the box so it wasn\'t that bad.But they could have put cardboard boxes instead of plastic bags. They could have also provided a cloth bag to keep the bananas in  because they are VERY SMALL!!

BUILD QUALITY – Will the toy last?  Is it built well?   

I didn't need any help building this one. But it is quite hard getting all the bits of the tree in the right place. You can change how you build the tree though. The tree does fall over very easily which means my little brother gets frustrated with it but it is part of the fun of the game.

BUILD QUALITY Marks out of 10 (10 being top): 8

VALUE FOR MONEY - Looking at the price above, do you think it is value for money?

I think it is a very good price at £7.99. My Mum says it would be a great present for birthday parties.

IT IS ALL VERY GOOD!!!!
