Is this a good game for kids 7 and 10?

I've only played it once or twice myself but I'm buying it for my kids 7 and 5.  The first party bongoes are sturdy, it's a first party Nintendo game so you know the content is safe, and it's basically a game for slapping the crap out of some drums.

My guess is hell yes.

Mine arrived today, so yours should be there very soon if not already there.  Brand new, game w/bongoes and a second set of bongoes.

Yep, got mine yesterday :)  Thanks again for the heads up!  Heard on SlickDeals that K-mart had the bongos for $5 on clearance, if you're looking for a couple more controllers. No K-marts near me :(

There are a couple within 10-15 miles of my house.

Is this a 4 player game?

Yeah it is, pretty fun. I had it way back when, traded it in though. Heres a list of other beat like games.

-DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) - Amazing, I'm an addict, and a good thing. It keeps me in shape.
-Beatmania - Its pretty close to Donkey Konga, but a little more complex. Never played it though.
-Pump It Up - The reverse of DDR, still an awesome game, and cheap. You'll see it in arcades alot more.
-Guitar Hero - Kind of like Donkey Conga, just with a guitar, with strumming. Awesome game, loads of fun.

Sorry if that was common sense stuff, but if it was helpful to someone, I'm happy.

My kids are getting a kick out of the new bongos and games - thanks again for the heads up! They're doing it again for anyone who wants in - $20 online, $10 in store.
