Cute, fun - like having a little pet
I bought R2-D2 for my daughter's birthday. It was pricey, so I was hesitant, but she seemed to really want it. Boy, I'm glad that I did as it is a very well made, sophisticated toy. I find myself playing with it and treating it almost as a pet. You talk to it, and it responds to you, it plays games and can be mischievous. We like "light tag", and "spin the droid". If you tell him to go on a "Time out", he shakes his head "no" like a disobedient child. If you tell him to "Behave himself" a...

Wowie!
Durability: Fun: Educational: I've had this toy for years and it is great to see it finally back on the shelves. Voice activated R2 obeys over 40 commands. R2 dances, plays hide-n-seek. You hide, it seeks and can somehow distinguish between you and a lamp. There are even unexpected responses that will suprize you. Question him three times about heroes or villians and he'll play a marching theme song. I had him deliver candy to Trick or Treaters on halloween. ...

Amazing how "smart" the little guy is!
Durability: Fun: Educational: This little R2 unit is quite a toy! Due to his excellent voice recognition capabilities he understands loads of phrases, and the visual sensors are surprisingly refined, enabling him to not only navigate around a room without hitting anything, he can also "see" people when he plays light tag!
The wheels he is equipped with enable him to roll around on thin carpet, but he works best on hard floors. Also, he may not be th...

Cool droid with a few secret commands...
Durability: Fun: Educational: Santa brought R2 to my 6 year old son this Christmas. My son takes this robot with him everywhere. I was concerned that he would lose interest after a few days, but he spends the majority of his day playing with R2. The entire family has enjoyed giving him various commands and in addition to the commands listed in the Command Guide, R2 has some advanced commands (sometimes known as Easter Eggs) built in that we found on the HASBRO...

Star Wars Interactive Droid Robot (2005 edition)
Durability: Fun: Educational: Temperamental, disobedient and he gets into a lot of trouble. I'm not talking about a pet or your average little kid, I'm talking about the Star Wars Interactive R2D2 Robot (2005 edition).
All of 18 inches tall, this diminutive little toy gets around well on most surfaces (hardwood or linoleum floors are best) and is a lot of fun. But he's not your daddy's Radio-Controlled R2D2. This Artoo unit doesn't automatically do what y...

100% VOICE COMMANDS
Durability: Fun: Educational: This truly advanced robot doesn't even come with a remote control. We've had ours for 3 years now and it amazes everyone from 3 years old to 90. It has a personality that responds to questions and commands, based on R2's mood at the time. R2 plays games, goes on patrol, answers questions and even follows complicated directional voice commands. Sometimes R2 misbehaves and and you must reprimand him in a stern voice, or, give hi...

Great, but has Bad Motivator!
Durability: Fun: Educational: After seeing positive reviews online I was very exited about this toy. I purchased through Amazon and it arrived in about 4 days via standard shipping. I was highly impressed at all his features and was having fun until I began to notice a problem. My R2 kept running into walls and he would keep on trying to run through them until the load sensor on the wheels would trigger him to turn away and try a different direction. At first ...

Nervewracking
Durability: Fun: Educational: I was given this as a Christmas present, and for a few brief moments I was in a blissful future world where robots wait on my beck and call. Then my fantasy crashed around me as R2, like NS-5 from "I Robot" refused to respond to my commands and fulfilled his true metaphysical purpose. In R2's case, this meant shaking his head and wandering about until he got stuck.
R2 resembles his Kenny Baker-driven counterpart down ...

expensive and not as good as advertised
I purchased this item for my grandson who is a huge Star Wars fan. He is 5 years Old. He was really excited to get it but once he received it, he found it to be a major dissapointment. one of the voice commands would be accepted by his voice. His older brother also met with the same results. My daughter was also not very succesful. It oes owever respond to the voice of my son in law. M daughter called Hasbro and was told that the product was not very good and they had been receiving several comp...

Unreliable and broken down
Durability: Fun: Educational: We bought my son an R2D2 this past Christmas ('06), and it worked beautifully for 6 months. Then suddenly it does nothing you ask of it, and answers every command with a funny noise. We've tried reset, replacing the batteries, and finally contacted Hasbro. They responded by saying there is nothing they can do, and that they can't replace him, but would replace him with any other of their products of the same price range. So what d...
