 Good, old-fashioned fun November 11, 2008
J. Bennett
This is a game I often get kids for birthday gifts. The parents are just excited about it as the kids, as they often had it themselves. It's not educational, but so much fun. Especially popular with active boys who may not always like traditional sit-down games.
 Cheap Plastic Can't Hang October 21, 2008
S. Hayes (Westport, MA)
Unfortunately I totally agree with all reviews regarding the cheap plastic and not being durable. It only took one match with my 5 year old to see that the heads wouldn't go up and over the white marbles. You'll see exactly what we are referring to once you purchase & play. Then you'll wish you simply kept the one you had from when you were a kid.
The cherry on top was the box it comes in. Once you assemble the game together - it no longer fits in the box for storage. Surprise !! No place to store your game with all the marbles !
This toy is absolutely horrible October 11, 2008

I will NEVER buy anything from Hasbro. My son received Hungry Hungry Hippos for this birthday. One of the four hippos never worked--pieces were missing from the box. The plastic is so flimsy that the other three get hung up and rarely work. You can't put the game away without taking the hippos off (no small task--I have pinched my fingers several times), and no child can do it alone. It is absolutely the worst toy we have ever had the misfortune of receiving.
They must be joking!!!! Cheap, cheap, cheap!!! September 4, 2008

This product used to be fun when I was a kid. I just bought it for my kids, and I am tremendously disappointed. Initially, I thought it was going to be okay. The instructions were decent, and it went together fairly easily. The first red flag was when I took the marbles out - they are plastic! Who ever heard of plastic marbles? Then, once we started to play, it became apparent how cheaply the game is made because the hippos kept getting stuck and had to be fiddled with to work again. That was when I first started considering returning it. The icing on the cake was when I tried to put it away. I think you may need the fingers of a child and the strength of a man to partially dissassemble the game to make it fit back in the box. It has small plastic tabs that were snapped into place to put it together, and then have to be pinched to be released to take it apart. The only problem is that it clearly wasn't made to be taken apart. I would love to see my husband trying to do this. He wouldn't be able to fit his fingers in, yet there is not way my daughter could do it either. Cheap, cheap, cheap.
I am becoming disappointed with Milton Bradley/Hasbro toys that I have bought in recent years, such as Mousetrap, Cootie, Don't Spill the Beans, etc.
Cheap Plastic Garbage July 22, 2008

It is really pitiful that they would make a piece of trash like this toy.
The plastic quality is HORRIBLE. The lightweight plastic balls barley roll and wind up just sittng on the playing field.
The hippos Jam constantly. Total Garbage.
