Product Information

Little-Middle-Big – As with Right Height, the player must listen to vocal cues from the Bop It! Bounce calling for bounces of "big" height, "middle" height, or "little" height. [28] Based on concepts originally patented by Dan Klitsner, [3] [4] Bop It was licensed to Hasbro [5] [6] and further developed there by a number of designers including Bob Welch. [3] With newer versions, additional inputs have been added or altered such that units like the 2010 Bop-It! Bounce shares no inputs in common with the original 1996 Bop It. Klara, Robert. "Bop It!

In 2012, Hasbro introduced Bop-It! Smash at the New York Toy Fair. Bop-It! Smash features color-changing lights in a central area called "The Zone". Players score by "smashing" two Bop-It! buttons together when a zone light is either green or blue. Bop-It! Smash has three various game modes: Solo, Pass It and Multi-player.

The "Beat Bop" mode follows a similar format as the "Vox Bop (with voice commands)" mode (above) and the rules are roughly equivalent. The game mode is called "Lights Only" in Bop It Beats. The difference in "Beat Bop" mode is that the game uses sounds as commands instead of words. Thus: Infinite Bounce – Players compete to achieve the greatest number of bounces without a time limit. [28] EA Games has also made Hasbro Family Game Night 4: The Game Show which features Bop It as a playable simulation.

Gamer Geeks, this is going to challenge you and keep you on your toes. You go right ahead and poo-poo it and get all high and mighty stating “this is not a game, Cyrus, you fool!” I thought the same thing and scoffed at it. After I turned it on and have it spank me in front of my wife and kids, I had a newfound respect for the game. The game is challenging and really brought out the competitive nature in me. Put this game in front of like-minded individuals and you have yourself a wonderful game to play while waiting for your other Gamer Geek friends to arrive. If your group is feeling sleepy, put Bop It! XT on the table, issue some silly challenge that questions another gamer’s ability, and it’s on, baby! Right Height – The player must listen to vocal cues from the Bop It! Bounce, calling for higher or lower bounces until the correct height is achieved when a chime sounds. [28]

Solo Bop" is the single-player mode for the original Bop It. This game is substantially similar to "Vox Bop (with voice commands)", except the "Pass It!" command is never issued. Instead, when the player misses a command, the game ends and the score is reported. [5] [21] [43] This mode is also known as "Vox Bop Solo" in Bop It Extreme [16] [17] and Bop It Extreme 2, [19] and simply "Solo" in "Bop It!" [25] and Bop It XT!. [30] Beat Bop Solo Since 2008, the voice of Bop It has been Buddy Rubino. Rubino has voiced all the modern Bop It games which include: Bop It!, Bop It! XT, Bop It! Smash, Bop It! Tetris, Bop It! Micro (original recordings from Bop It!), Bop It! New Moves and Bop It! Maker. Rubino was unaware of Bop It when recording the voice, and was advised to do it "really excited".

In the end, it all comes to player preference. If you enjoy action/dexterity games where memorization and color matching are needed, I highly suggest you give Bop It! XT a try. If you are not that kind of person, feel free to dislike Bop It! XT as I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. This game likes making you feel bad.

An excellent tool for strengthening color matching, memorization, dexterity, and emotional cooping skills. Yes, emotional cooping. Expect your little geeks and even some Parent Geeks to get put out, sulk, and maybe even swear. Just keep telling them (and you) it’s all in fun. Best of all, this is a game you can actually get better at by practicing. All it might take is a little push of encouragement from you to make your little geek (and your sulking adult friend) take another stab at the game and get better at it in the process.
