Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

Bought this for my 2 boys ages 10 and 12 they played it for hours and hours after a week the net on the one side ripped from normal use two weeks later the other side of the protective net ripped and finally I was playing with my son and the rim broke at the weld. Very dissapointing for the kids. On a good note I purchased the no sweat warranty and they gave me my money back.

Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

Don't get me wrong, this game is good fun for the entire family - young and old. We've had some parties where everyone really enjoyed it. The major problem has been that the scoreboard keeps resetting itself, which is really frustrating when playing competitive games. The other problem is that one of the balls was defective from the get-go and deflates itself regularly.

Same story as others.

Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

Lots of fun, but broke after owning for just over a week. Rim weld is not very good at holding up to constant basketball pounding. Send in that warranty card.

Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

Do not waste your money on this game. My kids received this game as a Christmast gift and it started to fall apart within hours. First, one of the switch and paddle assemblies that keeps score broke into three pieces, then one rim broke completely off the mounting bracket and finally the second rim partially broke away from it's mounting bracket. We as consumers must demand better quality products, even if we have to pay more for the product. More quality and less quantity.

Began falling apart the first day we set it up. It was an x-mas present and we ended up returning it 2 days later. Poor construction, could not stand up to two 7 year olds.

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

Put it together Christmas morning and ten minutes into playing it the scorboard began to malfunction. Exchanged it the next day for a new scoreboard which works fine but within an hour of playing it after that the net began to rip out of the sleeve that slides over a bar on top. Then the next day one of the baskets completely broke in two back where it connects to the bracket that hooks it to the scoreboard. Other than that it is a fun game to play.

Great for families to play together!

This product was purchased for my 10 year old son for Christmas. By the end of Christmas day, the net on the hoop had torn. The very next day the net on the top near the pole ripped. In two days
it was already falling apart.

Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

If you have 8 foot ceilings or more this is must for indoor fun. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and found room for it and it folds up in half to save space when not in use...1 or 2 player has a 60 second countdown and you just try to score as much as possible,in the last 15 seconds it "yells 3 pointer" and then your final shots are worth 3...My only reccomendation is that you buy 2 extra basketballs, cuz 4 is not enough for 2 competitve players..also only buy this for basketball use the rest is garbage...Buy it now and start enjoying

Comments about Halex Halex 3 in 1 Arcade Combo:

I read the other reviews that complain about the scoring system not working or failing. I believe they all work on an infrared sensor of sorts, this electronic basketball counts using an actual physical arm the ball moves and tallys to the scoreboard. Keeps my score accurate all the way up 106 my personal best.

Super easy to put together, sturdy and great for the price. The hockey stick is a bit short, great for the little ones. Awesome all around.
