Editorial Review

In a sort of "King Kong meets roller coaster" theme, this game requires that cars race to stop this angry gorilla from doing harm to vehicles and drivers. In automatic mode, the motorized booster launches cars vertically up the 30-inch tower of track and through hair-splitting upside-down spirals on the way down. The tricky spot comes after the loops, where cars must avoid getting smashed by the ferocious gorilla’s pounding fist and knocked through the trap door into a cage. A diverter lever switches cars to an alternate descending track with a different peril to avoid—the gorilla’s other gigantic hand. This time, the gorilla tries to grab vehicles off the track to crush them within his powerful jaws. The gorilla "wins" after munching a car four times but kids can also beat the gorilla by completing 10 laps. With each finished lap, a stun gun on the roller coaster’s base raises another notch into the air until it finally fires, knocking the gorilla out cold. The game can be set to manual mode for two players, allowing one person to be the racer and another to control the ape. Although complicated to set up, online animated instructions for this playset speed up the construction; however, adult assistance is definitely required. This track set requires four "D" batteries. --Cristina Vaamonde
