Description
It’s a fishy feeding frenzy. In this shark bowling game, players go head-to-head sending a very hungry shark at each other’s fish pins, trying to knock over as many as possible. First, set up your pins. Wind-up the shark by pulling it back until its mouth is wide open, then send it zooming towards your opponent’s fish pins. If the shark’s mouth chomps down on a fish, you get an extra turn. Collect all the pins to win. Mats provide additional play options for repeatable, easy-to-learn play for shark-loving kids and families. Gift for preschoolers, 4 year old boys, 5 year old girl, and anyone who loves sharks and bowling. For 2-4 players, ages 5 and up.

shark doesn't chomp - not fun at all
Terrible "game" and very hard to get the shark to chomp a fish. My toy-loving/game-loving/shark-loving 4 year old boy got frustrated and bored with this after 3 attempts.

Did not work very well
I got this for $5 on sale and it was worth that just for my grandson to play with the shark, but there's no way you could actually play a game with this. Half the time it won't go fast enough and it surely does not catch the fish it it's mouth either way

bad choice
dumbest thing ever. the shark doesn't get the tokens in his mouth because it moves all over the place, doesn't go in one specific direction, moves too fast for anything to stay in its mouth. I would have returned it, but the grandkids decided they liked just playing with the shark.

I want to love but...
I love the concept, but I feel like it’s not holding up well to my 3 boys. They are physical, but they don’t break toys often. They were often frustrated by the pull back feature and the mouth getting stuck closed.

Dumb
Stupid game if you can even call it a game. 5 year old can’t consistently get the mouth to close. No clear instructions for “pressing lower jaw button” as there is not a clear button to press.

Hard to get shark moving
Bought this for my grandson for Christmas (he is 6), he opened it and he and his mom set it up but had a really tough time trying to get the shark pulled backwards to get his mouth open. Took 6-8 tries before it finally got it to work

Cute but Silly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The game is cute but when my kids tried to play it, it was very ineffective! The idea behind it is amazing and with a few changes the game could be awesome!

It's ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for free for our honest review. My kids played with this for about 5 minutes and haven't played with it since. First, this works best on hard floors, not on carpet. I set it up for them, showed how to pull back the shark and then release and hit the pins. My kids played with their cousins while they were over. They had fun, but haven't touched it since. There was a learning curve on pulling back the shark and releasing it, as it sometimes the shark curved when released.

Extremely entertaining.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A really fun toy, an interesting take on bowling. Lots of fun, even for big kids. We all had fun "bowling". Even the cats enjoyed playing along. I thought this would be a great toy for a rainy day, but it is turned into an almost everyday toy.
