Title: Yep, it broke
Product review: It was great fun until it broke. The set screw on the plunger that holds a piece in place for the spring to push against came loose on the first day. It's essentially impossible to tighten, and even if you were able to successfully tighten it, it looks like it would come loose again right away since the indentation the set screw goes into on the plunger rod is so incredibly shallow. My son wanted to give up on the game when this happened, but I came up with a workaround of just rolling the ball down the ramp in center field (the "home run" ramp). He still plays with it some but nothing like he did those first couple of hours before it broke. The mechanism for the bat still works, though, so that's what keeps it from getting only one star for durability. If you don't mind doing the workaround, the game is still fun, but having to roll the ball down the ramp is a hassle because you have so much less time befor the ball gets to the bat.
