I admit that the triggers are a bit stiff, but my 4 year old can manage them ok. And yes, the game is slightly pointless and over very quickly as pointed out by other reviewers, but that's half the fun. If you want to make it last longer you can play it slightly differently and take it in turns to take an aimed shot, but the kids would much rather just repeatedly fire until the aliens have all been thrown in the air!! My brothers are both in their 20s, and enjoy getting competitive playing it with them too, and my 4 year old even plays it on his own while my 7 year old is at school - just shoots the pieces down, turns it around and then does the other side. They also sometimes compete to see who can make the aliens jump up the highest. For Ben 10 fans this is a great game!
