Squad Hero Rechargeable Laser Tag 360° Sensors + LCDs - Set...

Most Helpful Review

"We bought 2 sets of this for my son and his friends. Thinking it might not survive the aggressive play. The Hero Squad 2.0 has surpassed what I thought about home laser tag equipment and to be honest by the end of the month, I believe I will purchase more sets of this because now all the kids want to come over and play.The guns are easy to pair with the vest. The guns have color on them but that does not necessarily mean that they are on that color team. The real team color will actually light up throughout the gun and vest. We did have a minor charging issue where it acted as if it wouldn't charge while on the dock. We disconnected it all even from the wall, played with the unit and when we put it back on the charger it connected without issue.One feature I enjoyed is that there are 4 different kinds of firing mode each with different strength levels. For instance, if you use pistol mode, its accurate within 30-40 feet, and it only takes one life away and you can fire quickly. But in AR mode the rounds are further apart, its more accurate at longer distances and it takes two lives away. Then my favorite is what I call "sniper mode" where you can shoot up to 100-130 feet accurately, it takes 3 lives away at contact, but there is a longer reload time.Hero Squad 2.0 has been fun for all ages. My goal is to add to the two sets we have, and play capture the flag with two teams of 8. The parents occasionally will join the "fight" in disbelief of how good the connectivity is. And they are usuall impressed. My little kids (ages 3-6) will run throughout the house playing and by the end of the day they have tired themselves out.One thing I wish this offered is an app to see who's in and who is out of the round. But no company offers that at this point. In silent mode a team can lose all their lives, turn the system off and restart it and no one would know that they were "out.""
