Guitar Hero Handheld Game from Basic Fun, Inc.

Guitar Hero "Carabiner" - the Guitar Hero Hand-held Game from Basic Fun, Inc.

The Guitar Hero "Carabiner" handheld game is listed as the #1 top bestselling toy for kids 12-15 years of age for 2008/2009.

The popularity factor is likely due to the price - it's quite inexpensive, coming in at about $15.00 retail, and less when you buy Guitar Hero Handheld Game from Amazon.com. The popularity also likely has to do with the original popularity of the Guitar Hero game.

This toy has gotten a negative review regarding the speed of the beats (too slow) and that it can't compare to the actual TV game. That's kind of a bummer, but as a note, it's not really meant to be just like the TV game.

For those who are going to be purchasing it, just be aware of that fact - what you're getting is a small version of the Guitar Hero game, but don't count on it being the same thing. There are less songs to choose from, and it's probably not as challenging and fun as the original.

But - if you're looking for a great stocking stuffer for a "Guitar Hero" lover between the ages of 12-15 (or older, perhaps), the Guitar Hero Handheld Game from Basic Fun, Inc. is a fun handheld game, and can also work great as a travel toy for kids.

All for now -
