 looks great but hampers some gameplay January 6, 2009

There's no argueing these sabers are the best star wars replicas for wii
sadly the most comfortable place to hold them is the rounded part by the power button. This would be fine if the wiimote slot was as round but it's not and is made worse by needing to press buttons other than the gun trigger
in lightsaber duel. This accessory is best suited to dragon quest where you simply swing it around or the upcoming wii sports resorts.
A 10 for cool factor but a 3 for usability. Had lightsaber duel let you
block and attack by the position of the saber and had jumping and movement on the numchuck this would've been alot better but nintendo kept wii motion
plus to themselves which woul've allowed for this.
Good idea but needs improvement... January 4, 2009

I received this saber pack as a gift along with the Clone Wars game. Having played the game once before with only the wii remote, I knew how the game play should have been. Upon using the sabers as instructed, I found the game play was severely reduced. I needed to swing the remote numerous times to register it on the screen and got beat by the computer in the mean time. However, I took the batteries out of the sabers but kept using them and the game play went back to normal (or pretty close to normal). I sacrificed the glowing red and blue saber to get better game play but still got to use the sabers. If kids want to play each other I'll put the batteries back in for the glowing effect. They'll have fun either way. But to have a real fight simply take the batteries out. I'm sure they'll re-design it later on so there is no interference. I would still buy this again even knowing the flaw.
PS ~ Don't stand to close to your opponent.

These look great but as a controller for the Wii they are a total waste of money. They are heavy and the poor response from the controller makes it virtually unplayable. Pass.
Avoid this product January 1, 2009

This is a cheap, poorly designed product that is not worth purchasing and wisely avoided. I purcased it for my 6 year old to use to play with the Wii Clone Wars game, which is one of his Wii favorites These light sabers do not allow the Wii remote to function properly to control the light sabers. My son found that the remote and the nunchuck were much better with the Clone Wars game. I tested it and confirmed his opinion. Aside from this lack of functionality, the blue and red "colors" to the light saber are just cheap plastic wrappings that fly off when the light sabers are used.
 Disappointed...doesn't register swinging action December 30, 2008

Though ascetically these are very cool, you are limited to the uses & interaction w/ the game. With the controls attached, you can use the buttons, but...
it doesn't register when you physically swing the saber.
The whole point of purchasing these was to play Clone Wars Light Saber Duels. With the remote plugged into the saber, all you can do is run around, glow w/ the force, jump, but not swing your character's saber. What's the point?
Save your expectations & buy a pair of toy sabers, get the same use out of them...and are probably more durable.
