I too was very impressed with the D&D basic game. I wish they'd gone to 3rd level (even a stripped down 3rd level with some basic options).
What I wonder about this product is, when I was a kid we got the basic D&D boxed set (the "red box") and where so amazed by it. This new D&D basic set is so much superior in every way with dice, dungeon tiles, and miniatures, but can it create as much amazement in kids today?
