PITTSBURGH -- I have to say this is a toy I would have never picked. My niece Jessica (Age 8) has been talking about it so much I thought I better give it a try.

The toy is a little tank that you can drive with a remote control. Then you wear a head set with an eye piece. She told me that you can drive the car into another room; it goes up to 20 feet and see what the tank is looking at. You can also hear, but I think the tank has to stop moving to be able to hear.

Jessica and her brother Michael (Age 12) loved the toy. They thought it was lots of fun being able to see and hear things in the other room. I do not know how much spying was going on. You can see the tank clearly, but they have played with it a lot.

My daughter Mary (Age 8) had no interest in the thing at all when she heard of it. She made it very clear to me that she was not going to test this toy. She did play with it when she was with Jessica, but other than that she did not.

This toy takes a lot of batteries. It uses 12 AA batteries. I would recommend this toy for kids about 7 and up. It is a great idea.
