    It doesn't seem the same as I remember as a kid (granted I was much smaller so it probably looked much bigger then). The main thing is there's 'no noise when the block is knocked off' which was really fun - that was the best part! I'm hoping the kids have fun with it-guess we will have to make our own noise.

    Well, I have to admit I did not play this game 50 years ago nor have I ever experienced the "original version" that was apparently made so much better than this one according to other reviewers......BUT....I'm surprised by all the negative comments about "not worth buying", "cheaply made", etc. I got this for my 8 year old son's birthday and I have to say its provided LOADS of light-hearted fun. He was SO EXCITED when he opened the box (and he'd never heard of this game!) It's not a game you sit and play for hours, but we love taking turns battling each other - Dad versus son, Mom versus Dad, son versus little sister, son versus granddad, son versus friend, etc. The robots are easily moved, buttons work well and there is some practice and skill required to win (busting the head off your opponent's robot). You have to block and you have to hit the chin just right to sock the head off your opponent! For Christmas we purchased a VERY EXPENSIVE electronic battle bots game with remote controls. That game is TERRIBLE compared to this one and it's much "better made" (not cheap by any means). We've played Rock 'em Sock 'em 10 times more than the expensive, electronic bells and whistles version. Sometimes simple is better and I think this game should be appreciated for what it's meant to be - a battle robot game for kids who will DELIGHT in rockin' those robots and sockin' their heads off! :)

    This is one of the greatest toys ever made! I've been looking to buy one for the past few years but the price seemed a bit steep until I found it on here for $20 bucks! It's not a replica of the original game but it works just as good if not better. It's definitely built better than the original of course . The pieces are solid and sturdier. I tested both robots and they both punch correctly and can move around a little bit. I remember being able to move around more with the original game than what you can in this version. I thought the ring was bigger too. It probably just seemed bigger back then. At first it's kinda hard to make the head pop up. It takes a little skill and practice to do it right. It's pretty easy once you knw what to do exactly. This version is very easy to assemble and everything snaps together and doesn't fall apart. They did a really good job with this game in my opinion. 5 stars.

    This is probably half the size of the same game that my children had when they were young. The directions for putting together the parts could be much better but we finally got it together. The "ropes" that would go outside of the boxing ring were too tight to fit into place (they were preassembled at the factory) so we decided they weren't necessary, and they aren't. The kids and people who played had fun, the game worked well, blocks got knocked off, and whoever plays a lot is going to end up with very strong thumb muscles. :) Overall, fun. I gave it a 4 overall for the directions, which weren't enough for a couple of adults, and the ropes not being usable. Still, overall, a fun game that worked well once assembled (only about 4 or 5 parts to attach.)

    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020

    Rock em Sock em was one of my favorite games to play as a kid. My brothers and I would play for hours against each other.
    When I saw this game on Amazon around the Holidays, I was super excited to order it for my son, and enjoy a game from my childhood with him.
    Like a lot of board games now a days, this game is really cheaply made, which I feel is why it isn’t as fun as I remember. The robots would either slide out of their sides of the boxing ring or move forward and almost look like they were falling into the ring.

    Because the pieces are all plastic, and cheaply made; it was difficult to really get the robots to stay in the spots they should’ve been in. I kept trying to push them in place, but I was afraid the harder I pushed the more likely I was to break the plastic clip they were supposed to attach to, and then the game would be useless.
    I hate to say, but this game definitely was a let down from the one I so enjoyed as a kid. It didn’t meet my expectations at all, and I’d probably say to go with a different game. My 5 year old son didn’t enjoy playing because of the robots and how they wouldn’t stay in, and instead of having fun we just got frustrated. 😤😤

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy! The Grandkids loved playing this
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    We bought this for our Grandson's 6th birthday. It's hard sometimes to find a gift the kids like that doesn't involve video games and similar electronics, those popular building blocks or the latest cartoon characters found in video games AND keeps them interested for more than a couple minutes.

    We took a chance on this "old fashioned" toy and our grandkids loved playing each other, their Poppa (me) and their Dad. I had a fun time playing as well with both them and my grown up son. Finally a non-electronic toy that they're actually using!

    This toy is marked adult assembly required, which always worries me a bit. But the assembly was just snapping a few plastic parts together and no tools were required. Literally just took a couple minutes and the instructions had about 3 steps or so.

    All that and it doesn't break the bank either!
