Laser X 88033 Tower Game

Product Information

To turn the tower on, you simply tap the red button on the top of the unit. Once you do this, the side lights will flash red and blue. You have one minute to select a game mode before the unit turns itself off. The game modes are the core of what makes the tower what it is. The various game modes are described in the instructions and played in short bursts. We found the games to be very short and pretty cumbersome to choose each time. Where the tower does get it right is as an add-on to an existing match. The two 'special game types' (9 and 10) add an additional element to a fast-paced laser tag match. You can use this to create your own game types or add to an existing team based match.

Lets take a look at what comes in the box and how the hardware is configured. Once we cover the hardware, we will jump into the functionality.Overall the idea of the gaming tower is in the right place. The hardware design is pretty good, despite a bit of a clunky and slow powering up and game selection system.

In testing - we found that setting the tower up about chest level of your players is ideal. The red bulb on the top of the unit will detect hits in a 360 degree angle this way. If the tower is too high, the sensors won't detect hits consistently. Powering On & Selecting a Game Mode The vests and blasters have a range of 200 feet which we found to be plenty, even for outdoor matches. InstructionsNow that we've covered the hardware, lets look at how to set up the tower and select one of the 10 game modes. Setup Location The final game mode (10) has teams blasting the tower with the first to reach 10 points winning. This mode is interesting because while the tower is being hit, the battle still goes on! Conclusion On the reverse side, you'll find two digital number displays which are used to select one of the 10 game modes and keep score during these games. In this review will be unboxing and doing an in-depth dive into the two player multiplayer set. This set is highly rated across the internet, lets see if it stands up to the hype! Working down the tower you'll find a light up "Laser X" logo that pulses from blue to purple to red. Two large illuminated bars can display the same 3 colors and are used as visual indicators during gameplay.
