Thank you to Jupiter Creations for providing me product in exchange for review. All opinions belong to me.
Ever since my son was able to communicate with us in any sort of way he has loved cars, trucks and things that go. My son’s uncle races race cars and my son gets the chance to go and watch him periodically throughout the season. Getting to watch my brother race has sparked a new interest within my son’s vehicle love. My son now loves race cars, things that go fast, and going fast himself! The Radio Control SpinForce was such a great toy for him to play with even his little sister could join in the fun.
Upon opening the box, there was some assembly needed but it didn’t take much more than 15 minutes. Inside the box came directions, the two race cars (with stickers), the corresponding remotes, the race dome, and an extra tire for each car along with a screw driver. It was pretty tedious to put the stickers onto the car but had my children been older and more capable this would have been an enjoyed task by them. The dome was larger than I had expected once all put together. The remote has two buttons, fast and faster, theres no steering needed as the design of the cars and the dome alike keep the cars going in a steady circle within the dome.
The object of the SpinForce game is to knock your opponents car out of the dome. The way in which you knock each other out of the dome is timing your attack to charge your opponent out whether through using the turbo button or pausing altogether to target and then charge your opponent. My kids are 4 and 2, they weren’t entirely able to manage the object of the game (knocking each other out of the dome) but they had so much fun with this game despite. Only having two controls and no steering to worry about the cars will race around the dome without falling out. My kids loved this toy, they loved racing them, watching them drive, and given the great design of the dome they had no issues of needing to maintain speed to keep from falling out. We did have some issues with the front wheel coming off, but the wheel itself is made to be adjustable so that you can change the game/steering so it only took a few twists of a screwdriver (included) to fix the car and get back to racing.
Now it wouldn’t be true if I told you that my kids are the only ones who played with the SpinForce. My husband and I love games and we embarked on a few battle matches so to say of strategic charging to knock each other out of the dome! It really took skill and planning to be able to get the other car knocked out. This game was a hit between every age in my household from us grown ups to our kid’s and their friends.
I am a stay at home mother of two, who loves to create in every form, from cooking, to henna, to painting or sculpting, creating with my hands is my passion! I love to dance and let loose when the music flows right. Being outside is a special kind of therapy I think humans need more of as well as mindfulness! I love all things new and adventurous and am always looking to experience more of life 🙂

Like you and your hubby, I think this would be so fun! My sister and I would play with our cousins little Matchbox cars when we were kids, so I’ve always love them. I’ve never played with radio controlled cars though. Your kids look like they had a great time too.
