Bitzee, Interactive Toy Digital Pet and Case with 15 Animals Inside, Virtual Electronic Pets React to Touch, Kids’ Toys for Girls and Boys

Well, this was a complete flop of a gift, but I enjoyed the novelty of it as a 90's kid who was into tamagochi. I'm sure most kids would have some fun with it. Probably more for the younger ones who haven't had their brains mutilated by social media yet mind you.

A present for our 7 year old. She did soon get to grips with how it works and how to navigate through the menus etc but it can be tricky at times.It has an accelerometer so it detects movement and this is how you can interact. Such as rocking the box to send the pet to sleep or tilting forward or backwards for instance.The swipe sensor is also used to swipe between menus.Saying that it is pretty cute to have these small 'pets'.A bit like a Tamagotchi, it will need tending to, such as feeding, playing or cleaning up after it.They seem to evolve very quickly and offer more pets for you to keep in your collection so I can't see this lasting too long before you have all the creatures.There are some games on this too but they are not the best considering this does not have buttons or controllers as such.The light display itself is nice and clear and fairly good resolution so you can easily make out what is happening.I like the clamshell box and it seems fairly sturdy.You would need to be fairly careful with the flapping LED strip since this could easily be bent or possibly torn.Comes with batteries which are still going after a few hours of play.

Great little toy

I got this for my daughter as a gift and she liked it a lot. but I will say the flashing lights on the bitzze are really annoying but don't seem to bother my daughter too much although once she did say she is worried it might damage her eyes. The controls are easy info for a young child from like 7 and over to use but would not give it to someone younger as the controls are a little fiddly and the screen that displays the animals is very delicate. I was a little disappointed to know there is not much to do after you collect all fifteen pets the only thing that you really can do is feed it play games and pet it or respond to the help messages which is honestly enough and good for £30 but buying a Tamagotchi for £30 you can do a lot more though I do understand that you can literally touch this one which is nice. but overall I think it is good value for money and my daughter does love it. also, I do think even though I said a lot of negatives this is a really cool toy (especially for £30), and that's why I gave it 5 stars. but would recommend bearing in mind what I said to make sure this is the write toy for your child.
