Summary: Fun! Fun!! Fun!!!!
Comment: This is an amazing sport. Very easy to play and addictive. I got a friend to try it in my backyard and we both got addicted. Playing in a Tennis court is even more fun as you don't have to stop every few minutes to pick up the tennis balls (for those of us who can't afford ball boys/girls!). Playing with the nightspeeders (using glow-in-the-dark light) is a lot of fun. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: great fun
Comment: This is truly a fun family game. All ages can easily play together -- we were playing two on two with 9 and 10 year olds against adults. It is worth every penny and I love that you can play it anywhere.
One potential problem I see is the cone markers. I have an older version that has sand bags connected by strings so your court is always the correct size, so I can't say how easy the cones are to set up in the right dimensions. I don't know why they got rid of the sand bags and strings -- this was a great way to set up the court so you know exactly where the inbound line is.
Overall -- hours of fun for the whole family.

Summary: A little over-advertized
Comment: The game is definitely fun, especially if you play it on a tennis court. The birdie is smaller and flies faster than in traditional badminton games. Hitting the birdie and directing it to the right spot is easier than I anticipated, especially considering the small size of the racket. Once the game gets going, the enjoyment level is fairly high, but falls short of the promised thrill in the product promo texts. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that, in spite of all the hype and promises, the game is far from being wind resistant. A little better than badminton, but still can be ruined by anything stronger than a breeze. The "wind ring" is ineffective, feels more like a placebo.
Overall, if you paid under $30 for this set, you probably are going to get your money's worth out of playing it. Try it, and expect it to be a fast version of badminton.
