Lenovo Star Wars: Jedi Challenges, Smartphone Powered Augmented Reality Experience

If you are considering this product, then I'm sure you are wondering if it's worth the cost. In my opinion the answer is a resounding yes, as Lenovo Star Wars meets and exceeds all of my expectations. I'm a Star Wars fan and a gaming fan, with numerous consoles, PC games and mobile device games in my collection, so I have some perspective. I don't see how any Star Wars fan could resist the opportunity to wield a lightsaber and this system does not disappoint! But it also has more than lightsaber battles alone to keep you entertained; it also includes strategy games such as Dejarik (or Holochess) among many other challenges.The packaging is befitting of high end electronics and can be reused for storage when the game is not in use, though the lightsaber is worthy of keeping out for display. The components are all well made and feel very solid and built to last. Setup was easy for me as the app walks you through the entire process. The app works smoothly on my device and quality of the visuals and audio is very good, though it does drain your battery, so plan accordingly.This is my first experience with the immersive AR style of game, though I have some experience with several full VR games. I discovered quickly that AR doesn't make me feel the "motion sickness" that many people get with full VR so I was able to play as long as I liked with no ill effects physically.Overall I think this is worth the plunge for both Star Wars fans and gamers alike. I hope Lenovo will add additional games to this same platform.

This worked well at first and my son loved it. But I guess the company stopped supporting the app that runs the hardware or something.You get everything set up and ready to go, and the app just starting flashing random lines in the headset. It’s not user error, because we played this a lot. Started happening a few months ago and won’t correct.It seems like the company has stopped supporting the app.I’m running it on an iPhone XR with OS 15.Avoid wasting $200 until Lenovo starts updating their app to fix the issue. Unplayable.

I got this product as a gift for my brother who is a HUGE SW fan. I had read a lot of the tech press on this when deciding what to buy, and everyone said this is the must have SW gift so I figured I'd give it a try. He LOVED it! The first big thing you have to check is that you need a compatible phone. There are not a lot of phones that aren't compatible, but his daughter has an iPod so we checked. Guess this is for Dad only! You get to play three different modes, and there are 3 levels of difficulty on your way to becoming a Jedi Master. I was surprised how much content he really got for this, and your saber even changes color when you beat a certain number of levels. The Holochess game they play in the movies was really cool, Strategic Combat you actually play on the on the ground with all the characters fighting each other, and of course you get to use a lightsaber to fight Darth Vader!!! I am not nearly as big of a fan as my brother, but this thing is cool. I got a workout wielding my saber all around the living room! The app wasn't buggy and didn't crash, which I was also very surprised. The phone did get hot (I have a iPhone) but we played for an hour so that's expected. Great game, great price, highly recommend!

Absolutely loved it !! It has a learning curve on how to set it up and adjust the space around you for optimum experience, I found myself moving a lot in the beginning and pumping into walls or tables, so I recommend to use it and n kind of open safe space first or watching YouTube videos. it’s an amazing AR experience for any Star Wars fan! Being a Jedi is fun and challenging! I loved The physical exercise of it and moving around every challenge.My only complaint is the lack of content update, I mean once you get through all the levels you expect weekly challenges or updates to challenge the Jedi you’ve become but that’s not there and it’s disappointing.

This is the only thing my son wanted from Santa for Christmas. When I saw it on sale for Black Friday (fifty bucks!) I was thrilled. Santa has never gotten off that easy before. Unfortunately this is a piece of junk. Thankfully my husband tried to use it long before Christmas morning. It's no wonder they were selling it for so cheap. We never could get it to connect. We tried multiple phones, charged and re-charged, installed and deleted the ap, and installed again. We searched the internet for answers and called Lenovo tech support. The tech support was a total joke. When you call they take down your name, address, phone number, email address, etc, etc and only after you give them all that information plus read them every serial number on the box do you find out that they really cannot do anything. The guy literally read us what was written on the box. It was incredible. Don't waste your time or money. I'm packing it up and sending it back.

The AR, graphics, game play is incredible! I love this thing, problem is, the headset is so incredibly heavy that it physically weighs down my head/neck and makes it too sufferable to play for any duration of time. I am in my 30s, I have a PlayStation VR, zero problems. This is really uncomfortable and would definitely not recommend for children cause of the weight :(

funtion great but install not easy with smartphone.Note9 sise can not put in this goggle.small phone need it.also app setup with goggle is not comfortable every each play.very annoying.
