Hands On, Kid Tested: Star Wars Republic Squadron Motion Flight Game
Posted in: hands-on, Star Wars, Tech Toys, Today's Chili, video games–
Is your little one a video-game couch potato? JAKKS Pacific may have what you need with the Star Wars Republic Squadron Motion Flight Game ($29.99 list, for ages 5 and up). Your child’s moves control the game, so kids will stay on their feet.
The Star Wars Republic Squadron Motion Flight Game is basically a game controller that you plug into your TV; the game is built in. It has AV cables attached, and on the controller are a menu button, an on/off switch, and dual trigger buttons on both ends and underneath the controller.
Setup was super easy: Since it’s a plug-and-play toy, there’s nothing to build or put together. (And the packaging was easy to get into, unlike with so many toys; you just untie a few strings, and it’s out of the box.) The controller requires four double-A batteries. To insert them, you turn the controller over and unscrew the compartment. Then just plug the AV cord into the proper TV input, hit the on switch, and you’re good to go.
The mission in this entertaining game is to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker fight General Grievous and his separatist forces. Your child flies a number of ships in a series of campaigns to help them win (there are over 20 missions included).
