Force Trainer Rip Off November 12, 2009 Reviewer:  Disappointed Dad "Tom Blessing" (Phoenix, AZ)  See all my reviews >

We were very excited to receive The Force Trainer as a gift. Unfortunately, it does not work as advertised and appears to fit in the catagory of "you see what you want to see." Five family members (adults and children) used the product and had the same result: no matter what your state of mind, the trainer advances you through the first "Padwan" level automatically. Each phrase and ball movement is identical from person to person.
The "Jedi Knight" and "Jedi Master" levels were similar: the ball and voice seemed to proceed in a pre-programmed pattern. There is no way to tell whether your brain waves are affecting the ball's movement or whether it is a programmed random change in the fan speed. You should be able to check this with the "free play mode" where ball movement and light indicators are supposed to reflect your brain wave patterns. However, in our unit the ball stayed in the middle position no matter how hard we "concentrated" or "used our feelings." The lights only blinked on and off in a regular pattern.
One other minor point: while it was cute at first to hear Yoda quote lines from the movies, he grew tiresome after the fifth time he quoted the same line, "Reach out with your feelings! Use the Force. Do or do not, there is no try."
All in all we were VERY disappointed in this item. And would highly caution everyone to stay away from it. It is overpriced at best and intentionally deceptive to children at worst. My son was so proud to achieve Padwan, I didn't have the heart to tell him it worked the same for everyone. They all got frustrated and quit at the Jedi Knight level as no amount of concentration or relaxation could move the ball in a predictable way.
However, I am sure some will use the toy and see exactly what they want to see. They will thrill to hear Yoda and R2D2 verbally pat them on the back. If this item sells, as it surely must with the slick marketing and idea that "you too can be a Jedi Knight", I believe it has more to do with P.T. Barnum ("There's a loser born every minute") than The Force.

Lots of Fun with a Group!! November 25, 2009 Reviewer:  Daddy K (Camarillo, CA USA)  See all my reviews >

Reaching the different levels is fun, but we had a blast using the Free Play Mode. We've had a few families over for dinner and everyone loves to give it a try. The little kids are the ones who seem to be able to shoot the ball straight to the top! All the jokes about brain power start pouring out, and everyone tries to figure out how it works for them. Totally awesome as a spectator as well!

Make sure you read the instructions well before you use it the first time. Once you get the initial calibration, it is a lot easier to rock and roll!

AWESOME JOB!

Patience young padawan November 21, 2009 Reviewer:  Veritas Layer "Veritas" (Pittsburgh, PA)  See all my reviews >

One thing this toy will NOT reward you for is impatience. It is actually possible to accidentally achieve "success" with the Force Trainer, as I have personally discovered. It takes patience though--whether you have yet to crack Padawan level, or you spiked the ball off the top your first time out--to achieve CONSISTENCY. For those who haven't achieved that yet, it is no fault of the toy. I have certain friends and family members who have mastered the certain thought patterns that it takes to raise the ball to certain heights, but for others it remains difficult. This relatively unteachable "knack" for it just amplifies the intended nature of the product.
Again, if you lack patience, this toy is not for you (and incidentally you would be a crappy Jedi, LOL).
