Virtual Reality Soccer Game (Electronic Games)

On the heels of the thrilling 2002 World Cup tournament, up-and-coming Peles can now enjoy builiding their skills with this interactive electronic soccer game that doesn't require a computer. The game plugs directly into your television, using the TV screen as the game display. Up to two players wear special anklets that are detected by the two tiny infrared sensors, which translate the player's motions into movements on screen. Juggling, dribbling, and kicks made by the players are turned into realistic motions on the screen--and the ball responds as if it has really been kicked. It comes with three different games to keep players on the ball: A single-player shoot-out on goal, a juggling drill, and tournament play for one or more players competing at the same time. To add to the realism, a british "announcer" does play-by-play commentary, bringing the spirit of international competition to any family room. Requires 4 AA batteries. For ages 8 and up. 1" H x 4 1/2" W x 4 1/2" L.
