1 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Product!!!   January 8, 2009
They do not work. When you put the controller in the lightsaber it blocks the front of the controller so the wii doesnt pick it up...so in short in makes no sense why they even made this product. So I had two very disappointed boys on Christmas Day because of this. Do not buy this product!!!


2 out of 5 stars Look cool, but don't work   January 8, 2009
I really wanted to ignore the reviews I'd read and think that it must just be user error which caused these light sabers not to work, so I went ahead and bought them for my boyfriend thinking that surely they'd work for him. Unfortunately, they didn't. They do look really cool, but the sensor bar of the wii doesn't even come close to picking up the moting of the wiimote when inside the light saber. Save your money, and just play with the wiimotes.


3 out of 5 stars Fun but with Flaws   January 7, 2009
Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack
These look cool and are fun but they have their problems. They are just a but heavy. I am a big guy 6'2" 250lbs and I find them awkward maybe easier if you take the balade off. They are the best looking and for a Star Wars fan they are a cool little item. They light up great. So for game play it will effect your game but I am sure like real sword play it could be learned over time.



2 out of 5 stars Useless for play but very realistic looking   January 7, 2009
I bought these for my children (7 & 10) along with the Clone Wars "dual" game. The design is poor and prevents the wiimote from registering so they are useless for this game, which is too bad because they are very cool and would have made the game experience that much better. I'll be returning them.


3 out of 5 stars 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.
