TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!

What It Is
The new Light Strike line from WowWee is a competitive gaming system designed for solo or team play featuring a collection of blasters and accessories that use light as ammunition. The Striker S.P.-144 is the basic blaster in the line.
For any player used to video games, the different features will be very recognizable, from the choice of weapons with different powers and reset times, to re-loading and the ability to activate a force field. The buttons on the top allow you to select from one of the five weapon options, identify your team by color, and activate your shield. The blaster also comes with a target so you can practice your aim and accuracy. There are also individual challenges that you can take on to build your skill. The Light Strike blasters are also designed for competitive play, so when you get several kids together, they can create their own battles with up to four different teams involved in the play. To identify a team, have all members set their blasters to the same color using the team color.
Why It’s Fun
This is a really innovative and exciting toy that we think is going to appeal to older players (8 and up) who will create their own battles and be intrigued by the sophisticated options and features that will enhance play. It's not just running around, though; there's lots of strategy involved if you're going to win.
Who It’s For
The Light Strike Striker S.P.-144 is for ages 8 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Set-up is pretty complex, so be sure to read the manual. Taking the time to learn about the blaster will pay dividends when you get into competitive play.
The blaster takes four AA batteries, and the target takes three AAA batteries. Batteries are not included.
There are also several accessories sold separately so kids can fully customize their blasters and their play experiences.
