Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer: I'm a big fan of LaserQuest on Lake Mead, so that's my local bench mark. I'm not one of the LaserQuest gods who have a 5:1 kill ratio, but in a drop-in, I'm usually in the top three, and my son is often one who beats me. I am very happy with the experience and would recommend Battle Blast. The cost is about the same as LQ. The two story playing field is great and very fairly sized, a little smaller than LQ but very adequate. The lighting is a little brighter than LQ, which is cool because they went the distance in decor making it a very nice change from all black walls. I like the all-black scenario, but since they went out of their way to dress this up, it does make it a bit more interesting for me. I like the gear, although it was not universally received well. My son did not like the heat-sensor that required you to keep two hands on the weapon. I didn't mind it and adapted fine, but I can see why someone might not like this limitation. The weapon is much lighter than LQ's, which is nice. It really felt that the system was very lenient with accuracy, more like we were shooting laser shotguns instead of laser semi-auto-rifles at LQ. Frankly, I liked it this way. You're not prevented from sniping, and the battle field provides plenty of sneaky hidey-holes (for we all know, snipers define the battle field), but if you're on target, you're going to score a hit... unless you get hit first, of course. The packs were lighter, which I liked. I'm left-handed and it's frustrating when the bungee holding the gun is short and cut for a right handed person, so it has constant tension when held across your body in your left hand. The Scoring System is the biggest complaint. LaserQuest's system is hands down much better here. Presently, you do not get to provide your gamertag, you have to accept a generic name which is assigned to each pack. They said this is coming soon, but it's not there yet. Most importantly, LQ tells you how many times you tagged each person and how many times they tagged you, and THAT is what I want to know. They also break the NUMBER of shots to each body-part, which is very nice to know, and that is something Battle Blast needs to get ASAP to foster return customers. They have a very cool "base" system that you can attack and defend, but the problem is that it's not really explained, if you figure out you can blow up each base twice you can REALLY rack up the points, blowing the scoring scale. If you don't blow up the bases you need to rack up almost twice the kills to be able to place in the top three. I wish this was deactivated unless everyone was playing to attack and defend them. I am glad to have a new laser tag place in town. We are very sad to hear that King Putt on Stephanie is small. Argh! We're going to go check them out as they are right by us, but we will continue to play at LaserQuest and Battle Blast when we get the itch.

Answer: Only go to this location during the snowbird off-season. Otherwise, you'll be playing bumper cars in the parking lot, standing in the pharmacy line that goes around the building twice and waiting twenty minutes in the check out line for the senior in front of you to write a personal check for milk, eggs and Dulcolax.

Answer:
Very professional, yet casual doctor's office. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I have never felt so at ease in a doctor's office.
