Whac-a-mole Tower by Milton Bradley

This game was a gift from Santa to my 5 year old son. He absolutely LOVES it- I, on the other hand, wish the novelty would wear off! The game is carnival style mallet hitting fun. My son loves to bang on the mole endlessly and frequenly makes the bell ring adding another level of fun (and noise) to the game. The game includes a three piece hinged tower with sliding mole, tower base, cardboard tower top (which has already been torn), and the mallet. The game is listed at 4 years and up , but I doubt any child over the age of 5 would find the game too much fun. Another complaint I have is that the once assembled, the game can't be put back in it's box. This is a huge game and we already have a shortage of space in the play room. All in all, although initially fun for the kids, this game is too noisy and takes up too much space for it to be a keeper.
