Color and pattern correspond then exactly the Furby in the package and you do not rely on the color of the packaging. It already showed unopened at my model, that the Furby Pink polka dot is even more gaudy than it appears on the packaging. But it is only a fabric pattern, ie the right Furby itself is not angegrabbelt of 1000 foreign fingers.
Inside the package you will find then a small drawer, in a few Furby-color labels are located (for beautification of Furbys new home) and a kind of quick start guide incl. Troubleshooting on the one hand, on the other side there is a poster in which you can enter what you like Furby eggs are already collected and named the Furblinge.
After all is new to the Furby Boom, in conjunction with an app of Furby can now lay eggs. It is necessary to collect 48 eggs and so bring Furblingen on the world, then at the end to find the golden egg.
Before you can play, you need 4 x AA batteries which are not included. In addition, a small Phillips screwdriver is needed urgently, without a) the batteries can not be inserted and b) the Furby can not get out of its packaging.
The Furby:
The Furby has - to my eyes - not so much extreme changes to the model, which was known 15 years ago. Recommended is the boom from 6+ and I think this should be previously cuddly critters do not get more in the hands of children because of his inner life. At least, not if it is to have a longer life.
Once turned on, the animals parrots with his sweet voice immediately going on and calls for an on entertainment. It sings, it says, it acts as if it were a monkey and giggles on so sweet kind going on that one but must mitkichern sometimes even as an adult. With activated music Furby starts to dance.
It will be the digital eyes now even more emotions displayed. Even without Furby app responds to his name and learns. The sets are beginning still gibberish from German and Furbisch. It also reacts to things like tickle, pull by the tail (longer draw it added Furby in a sleep mode), turn it upside down, stroking, etc. etc.
Depending on how you treated the Furby, also the character developed accordingly. This alone promises very
of gameplay and prevents boredom quickly emerging as one is still very excited about this development. What remains is also the connection between the Furbys. Say: Bring you 2 together, they begin to talk to each other.
The app:
The app expands the game possibilities with the Furby many times. About this you can play with Furby, feed him, take a shower, to send to the toilet, doctoring and bring Furby eggs on the world. A German-Furbisch "program is installed in a small town then you collect the coming out of the eggs Furblinge, the man -. Like in the good
old Tamagotchi time - can Keep the fun and care for. If all goes well the Furby, it lays eggs, but these can be obtained also by friends or are found for example on the manufacturer side a QR code for scanning and thus receives another egg.
The app is also the part that you can criticize: Should a child from 6 years now ever play with the smartphone !? Until all are fed, as you can quite a bit of time going into the country, just at a young age, the games should be still limited by technical devices to a minimum.
Apart from that, I had always wanted reconnect difficulties. In my case, the Furby was used with the app for Android smartphones and although the phone in front of the Furby was (it should be in max. 10 cm distance in front of the Furby lie), were repeatedly reports that the Furby could not be found , (Samsung Galaxy S5 & Android version 4.4.2)
Millimeters corrections brought then again quick success, but frustet a bit with frequent repetition. Here one can only hope for an effective update of the app. Until then, there are half a point deduction for the small technical problems and another half, for the problem of pedagogical perspective - ie Child & mobile. Even if they can learn by providing the Furbys and Furblinge to assume responsibilities first.
Overall, the Furby promises but funny game with lots of interactions, bringing adults quite smile. Who actually keeps his bad temper in the cuddly, babbling thing, which is beyond help ...
Above all, who liked tamagotchi time and loved the first Furby generations, is at this successful combination have a lot of fun and for the purchase of the new Furby Boom is a MUST.
