3-0 out of 5 stars as kiddy as it gets, but there's quite a bit to it
I have played many of Nintendo's franchise games, and I have never seen a game so completely presented for kids as this game.I'm not a kid, but if I remember right, even a kid doesn't need a little twinkly star telling them 'This game's absolutely packed with fun.'For the first half hour the game just presents you with super-colorful image after sickening colorful image as you prepare your 'passport', a prerequisite to playing the game.

But after that, and after you get over the presentation so kiddy that it will make young kids sick, this is a nice game.Don't expect a party like earlier Mario Party games; this game is almost all for one player.Basically, its main mode has you driving around town running simple errands with limited gasoline, and to keep your car gassed up you have to win frequent mini-games.And most of the mini-games are pretty fun, especially if you learn them and try to set new records in the 'free play' mode.

You will meet many characters from past Mario games as you play.I know this is kiddy too but this I don't mind; I'm a Mario fan.I especially liked meeting the big round slime that was a boss in Yoshi's Island; the characters will bring back memories for a Mario fan as you explore town.

This game is enjoyable; not that enjoyable but enough to keep you coming back.That is if the childish presentation doesn't make you vomit.

4-0 out of 5 stars Not a party.Just a long quest.
This game is not exactly a party game.All you do is drive on a mushroom car around shroom city. You do like 50 quests and earn gadgets.The only characters playable is Mario(of course),Luigi,Peach,and Yoshi.But it is still a cool game.It even includes a Party Board for Multiplayers with only four characters playable.It's just an addition if you want to party,with four people.And you use your gameboy in a cool,yet weird way.And yes i almost forgot to tell you that it does have mini-games,and micro-games.Just buy it and you might like it.Just dont expect you can unlock new characters.And you get to put your information,and secrets.So if you and a friendbattle in mini-games and beated you,he might get a chance to view your passport and secret! And yes there is a multi game(4-players)and it is a penguin race,which you dont control it, you just guess which one you think would win the race.....Very surprising!Yet there are a lot of missions and some are hard so it might get you busy if you want to complete the game.Enjoy getting those missing mini-games!

3-0 out of 5 stars okay but not what I expected
I really expected more from Mario Prty Advancce. The console games were so much fun as you went around the board to get the star. In this one, there is NO star but you have to fill quests. The mini-games aren't nearly as good (I LOVED dungeon duos and order up from mario party 4) but still okay. -overall okay ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Arcade Racer I've Played
The thing I love most about Burnout 3 is the variety. There are several different racing modes you can play:

1. Race - obviously, there has to be a mode where you just race, but it's pretty fun racing. You rack up points and earn boost for taking out, tailgating, and smashing into other opponents, drifting, and driving into oncoming traffic.
2. Road Rage - your goal is to take out as many opponent cars as possible before your car is completely totalled. You can also play against a friend, where it's first to get ten takeouts, or last man standing. This is perfect for those days when you come home all stressed out from sitting in gridlock all day.
3. Crash - My personal favorite, there are 100 crash junctions taken from sections of the different courses in the game. You have a specified period of time to cause as much damage as possible. This can also be played with a friend, either co-op or against each other.

If you've played previous Burnout games and were not impressed, I would still recommend this game because I've done the same. Probably the coolest new feature of Burnout 3 is the aftertouch feature, which allows you to control your car in slow motion after you crash, making it easier to take out opponents. This also comes in handy in Crash mode.

My only complaint, really, is that the massive amount of traffic in the game makes racing extremely difficult at times. It wouldn't be so bad if your car crashed every time you even bump a car that is not in the race. If you can get beyond that, though, this game is worth many hours of fun gameplay.

3-0 out of 5 stars not bad
I've been playing this game for more than 3 weeks now, and I have to say it is quite fun!! It is that type of game that you can just pick up and play. The crash mode is cool but the races needs more work. There are a lot of pop ups which can get frustrating, and I think it runs less than 60 frames per second. You can't really feel the cars hugging the road.
The crashes are very cool. I like causing a lot of damage!
If you want a game that's easy to get into, pick it up. But I have to say the NEED FOR SPEED HOT PURSUIT 2 is better.

5-0 out of 5 stars Dream come true!
Wow this game is dope. The graphics is great, the music is heavy metal and rock, which fits the mood well. I usually listen to hip-hop and pop. The crash engine is awesome, its different everytime! The tracks are cool with good amount of details.

The driving is fast in this game! You get that Wipeout and F-zero feeling. Then the best part is that you get to crash into other cars which gives you more nitro. The crash is more like a offensive weapon, kinda like missles and stuff from Wipeout but you do it with your car! Then you get to see the CARNAGE, then zip right back into the game without losing speed, very arcade like lol! I hope young kids who play this game dont drive like this in real life when they get their license!

Sometimes when I drive on the Freeways in Los Angeles, crazy drivers would cut me off, etc... I wish I had a Nitro equipped Semi Truck so I could ram everyone on the Freeway over! This game makes my dream come true! CREAM people without dying in real life and without going to jail!

Overall this game is a must buy. Its on-sale at Target for $(..). GO BUY IT! ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Spider Rip Off
Where do I start?Then entire reason I got the PSP to begin with was for Spiderman 2.I played it on the PS2 and to this day I still pop it in just to swing around the city and kick the crap out of car jacker and bank robbers.I put in Spiderman 2 on PSP and "POW" I was upset 5 minutes into it.I should have listened to Evil Bob he warned us that this was just Spiderman 1 all over again.$49.95 I THINK NOT.My only hope is that I can take this game back and get a refund.Now dont get me wrong, the PSP is out of this world and I really hope BATMAN BEGINS is much better than Spiderman 2

3-0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest
I was only able to play this game for a few minutes before getting bored. I'm not the hugest Spiderman fan, so maybe if I was I would have liked this game more.

Basically it's an adventure game where you play Spiderman and go around beating up the bad guys... supposedly it follows the movie spiderman 2 to a degree, but I didn't play the game long enough to know how closely it does follow the movie.

The graphics are good and it seems playable, but this game just wasn't as much fun as Untold Legends, Wipeout Pure, or Twisted Metal, which are all better games.

3-0 out of 5 stars Fun but gets boring over time. Not worth $50
Spiderman 2 is a big disapointment. I just bought a PSP and then got Spiderman 2. The game is defintly not worth 50 bucks. i beat the game in less thatn 2 hours on normal. The trainig is bad and the camera just sucks. The bosses are all the same. Break a shield or make him dizzy and then hit him. No big deal. The game had 19 levels but each level lasted like 5 minutes. Gets really boring . Don't buy it unless you really like spiderman. if u don't but still want the gaem rent. Not Worth 50 bucks. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars NBA Street V3
Soar above the rim and leave your mark as NBA Street V3 hits the pavement: 3-on-3, over-the-top, and larger than life. V3 builds on the game-proven, platinum-selling gameplay of the Street series with new tricks and high-flying dunks. All new Trick Stick and interactive Gamebreaker control elevates the game to new heights with unmistakable style and attitude. Featuring today's biggest NBA stars, a collection of the league's all-time greats, and a Hall of Fame cast of past Street characters, V3 is non-stop, fast-paced, action-packed, in-your-face fun. It's as simple as that. NBA Street V3 is packed with highly-detailed authentic street courts, deep player customization options, new Court Creator, and sick online play. Put your rep on the line in the ultimate proving ground: the street courts of NBA Street V3.

The best of the series by far, I would be surprised if there's a better arcade sports game released in 2005. From bouncing the ball off your opponent's noggin to draining a game-winning three, there is just so much opportunity to talk smack, to compete, and best of all, humiliate your friends by dunking on their heads, that I think this is a must-buy for gamers looking for a fun basketball game without having to worry about the differences between a Triangle and a Box formation. Throw in six controllers and go at it in a real three-on-three for even more laughs, more slams, and best of all, more smack.

EA doesn't need an exclusive license to be king of the NBA street court. Midway, you may be second-fiddle for the rest of eternity as NBA Street V3 is the best street game of this generation. The only weak point is the sound, but beyond that, every aspect of V3 crackles with energy and imagination. I am a little bummed that EA still hasn't done anything interesting with jump shots (give us a dozen different trick shots, please), making it all about the dunks. The new GameBreaker is a sick and sweet idea and after putting a few dozen games under my belt, I began coming up with my own custom GameBreaker dunks. The inclusion of the Beastie Boys is inspired, the ability to customize your own court and shoes well-executed, and every GameBreaker dunk a furious thunder of street attitude. It's great, go buy it.

3-0 out of 5 stars Analysis of Mario Power Tennis
Positives-many interesting courts to choose from. These range from a "gimmic" Luigi's Castel to a more "serious" grass, clay or hard court
- the characters all have their own special power moves. These serve to add some sort of random twist to the tennis action.
- there are a multitude of everyone's favorite Mario characters to choose from. Furthermore there are many characters to unlock. Each chacater is given the helpful label such as "all-around" for Mario or "power for Wario
- the instruction manual is very informative. It provides the gamer with information on how to perfome the more technical shots such as the drop shot and the lob.
- there are many mini games to keep a gamer interested.
- great multi player mode.
- like all nintendo designed and published games, it is very easy to pick up and play.
- lastly, the game is very fun to play if only for a short time.
Negatives-at times the game play may seem rather slow. It can be adjusted in multi-player mode but in single player mode i am yet to find any such option.
- the tounament mode, which is the heart of the single player game, is not at all deep. It consists of three rounds each round does not get more difficult then the last. In other words, the player the gamer faces in the first round is just as challenging as the play he will face in the final.
- the character's power moves, especially when playing doubles, can get very annoying. Each time a "power shot" occurs, there is a 4 second cut scene which disturbes the game action.
- lastly, besides the "advanced" difficulty game setting, the game is very easy to play.This game will not be challanging to anyone who can return a cross court shot (which mean everyone).

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Tennis Game
A Great Tennis Game. I loved it on the N64, and now I love it even more. Especially all the mini games you play to unlock other courts or characters. The mini games is a blessing to the game espacially if you are playing alone. But get a few friends and make it a night. The power ups are a great addition on the court. Kinda like Mario Kart meets Mario Tennis. No go buy the game!

4-0 out of 5 stars Pretty fun and interesting game.
When I order it, I purchased it half and half with my nephew.. and I though that it will be a very bad purchase, however I do no repent.. when playing with several people you get pretty excited, that's the benefit of multiplayer games, that you can have fun with friends.. the graphics are good, and it's a fun game. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Not what was expected
If youre first Everquest Experience then not to bad, but for hardcore EQ players its basicly the same game as the first just different quests and areas, the only thing really new is two more choices for a character, and u dont even get to choose gender for them. The two new ones are an Iksar Shaman and a Vashire berserker. The shama is like a mixture of a caster and fighter but more of a caster, the vashire is a potion user buy lots and lots of healing potions cause they get hurt like a caster but hits like a warrior they recomend that you put points into his throwin axe skills, but if the bosses deflect 3/4 of the throwing weapons then its basiclly a useless abilaty. Its still a pretty good game and defenitly worth buying and playin for the hardcore players and those new to EQ ... Read more

We had the Razor 200 for one day before it started breaking down. First the power would shut down, then the power wouldn't shut off.My son lived with it for awhile..holding the break while he shut the motor off with his other hand. Now the Razor doesn't work at all. One day he walked out to get on it and nothing.Nothing worked.We had the Razor 200 for two weeks total and it was a piece of junk from the word go.Don't buy it. I used to be a television consumer reporter and if I was still one today I would investigate this sham of an operation.There are other brands. Pick one..and forget the hassle.

4-0 out of 5 stars War Machine the good, the bad, and the awsome
War Machine is awsome, because he's like a black and silver ironman. Except that he actually has guns. Here's the pros and cons of this toy.
CONS
1. It looks like his waist is going to snap off. It's way to loose.
2. The machine gun is actually attached to the figure and you can't take it off.
3. NO STAND, only a freakin leg
4. The fireing weapons don't fit in easily
PROS
1. He's war machine!
2. He's black and silver instead of red and yellow
3. He has cool weapons
4. His helmet actually stays on his head. The ironman's didn't
PRO AND CON
5. Very stiff figure. (Besides the waist)

5-0 out of 5 stars WAR MACHINE!!
From the Galactus Series, (or Series 9), is War Machine.He is an Avenger and close, personal friend of Iron Man-if you couldn't have guessed that already.He has the same body sculpt as the Iron Man from Series 1--which has everyone either loving it or hating it.In my opinion, I love it.I love continuity.That way it's a little more believable that it's the same guy under the costume if the body looks the same.Tony Stark (Iron Man) wore this costume first.Then, his friend, James Rhodes wore it and continues to wear it.He is nicely articulated, well painted, and the joints were all tight and well concealed.Durability is good for kids, but the mask could have fit a little better.You can always super-glue it in place because you really don't need to see James Rhodes' face-unless, of course, you want to.Also, the rocket launcher and gatling gun that are mounted on the shoulders restrict the movement of the figure's head.At times, they can even pop the mask off of his face.They should have been put them a little further away from his head.He comes packed with flame accessories that can be placed into the holes of his hands, feet, and weapons to simulate the firing of his hand repulsors, bootjets, rocket launchers, and gatling gun.A very nice touch!He comes with an Iron Man comic book that has War Machine's first appearance.Unfortunately, it's only on the very last page.They could have picked a better one, I think.There is also a clear, plastic, wall mountable display stand that makes the figure appear to be in flight.As I mentioned, he is part of the Galactus Series. Which means you get a piece of Galactus' huge 16 inch body. When you get all 7 figures in this series, the pieces can be joined together to make the 8th figure in the series--Galactus, Devourer of Worlds and arch nemesis of the Fantastic Four.A shrewd marketing technique by ToyBiz. Everyone will surely buy all the figures in order to get Galactus.He truly does look amazing when he is assembled.I fully recommend this figure.The good points far outweigh the bad.He is well stocked and I would certainly buy another if something were to happen to the first one.

5-0 out of 5 stars one of the coolest marvel legends figures
I was always a big fan of War machine when he first broke out in Iron man up to the Us War machine paperback. This figure rocks. I love the details I love the firing add ons I just love it, Marvel has made my day by making one of my favorite characters into a action figure this poseable and detailed. Thank you marvel I'll buy every series of marvel legends because of War machine ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Engaging science for young minds............
Although some of the questions/answers in this game are not educational, overall, I found this item to be great fun for the whole family. The questions have a range of difficulty, so when we play it with our 7 year old, he can answer some, and we adults don't get bored because we find others interesting. Some items are inappropriate, but we just omit those and ask another question or do another task that appears on the same card.
I would recommend this game to all parents who frequently play with their children, and are looking for something unique and fun for them, as well as the children.

1-0 out of 5 stars Educational?? Scientific???NOT!!!!!
We bought the "Totally Gross" game for our son for a Christmas gift.When we looked at the game, we thought we were getting an educational game about science.

What we didn't know was that we got a game about rude behaviors.

After looking at the all cards, I was in shock. The number of body functions that are talke about is inappropraite. Also telling kids to stick fingers into their ears and into their mouths can be a health hazard.Telling the kids on the cards not to put their finger into their ear "too far" and to make sure they have "clean hands" before sticking their fingers into their mouths was a nice gesture BUT kids will be kids and do they really know when too far is enough or does it take a trip to the ER for a puncture ear drum!

I thought, surely there can't be that many cards with such offensive material so I started removing the offensive ones. I stopped at about 15 and decided the game is very inappropriate.

I'm not sure how this game has ANYTHING to do with the "major science disciplines", as quote on the box! I do not recommend this game to anyone unless you want your son running around telling everyone he needs to go "drain the lizard" when he needs to pee.

5-0 out of 5 stars Girls love gross stuff too!!!

Editorial Review

Even electronic toys have gone extreme. Kids love the original Bop It, an electronic toy that challenges response time to pull, twist, and bop different parts of the toy. The Extreme 2 version adds two more tasks, more sounds, and a taunting, smart-aleck announcer who directs the game. As you get better, the game moves faster until you miss a beat and lose, accompanied by a fair amount of noise and ridicule from the toy. People who don't think they'd ever want to play Bop It Extreme 2 won't be able to put it down; it instills a compulsive need to bop till you drop. It can be played in a group and makes a good party game--even for serious adults. --Lynne Sampson ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Addictive
This is a fantastic game! It is a fast and furious challenge of reaction times & can be played alone, with a partner or in a group.Great for bored kids (or adults)!

4-0 out of 5 stars Wish I could play to a higher score!
This game is very fun. It helps to to clear my mind. The down side is that it stops at 250. I've reached 250 a few times wanted to see if it was just a mistake but nope it only goes to 250. Other than that great for the younger kids helps with listening and motor skills. As far as us adults who play, the game needs to go higher than 250. Overall good fun.

4-0 out of 5 stars This game is for Christmas - not for Life
Hours of addictive fun for all the family.Best used with some headphones if gran keeps nagging you to eat more cakes at a family gathering; which can be off putting to say the least!
I have stated that "This game is for Christmas -not for life" because it only you allows you to get up to 250ish and then it stops - Challenge over - motivation to play it GONE!
However practising to get up to 250 is great fun.Recommended.

2-0 out of 5 stars Quite boring........
This has to be the worst DBZ game in the past 3 years.Believe me if you are thinking of getting a DBZ game then get Budokai 2 or 3 which are really way,way better.

This game is really too easy to beat(I finished it in 2 days)and it's not worth the money.The gameplay is definitely not what I expect and the graphics really are pathetic and definitely not upto the standard.

3-0 out of 5 stars A Simplistic and Decent Action-Adventure Game
Theres probably a ton of Dragonball Z fans who have been waiting to play a DBZ action/adventure game. Well, Sagas is pretty much that game, but for hardcore action-adventurer gamers or people who aren't really fans of DBZ, it not really much more than a simple beat-em-up action game.

Well anyway, for those of you who don't know the plot (Skip this paragraph if you do), it begins with the main character, Goku who is one of the few survivors of the Sayian race. When he crashes on Earth (Sound a little too Superman-like?), he learns to fly and pretty much becomes skilled in martial arts. When he is an adult, he has a son named Gohan and a good number of allies (Such as the three-eyed Tien and the alien Piccolo). His brother, Radtiz appears out of nowhere and pretty much kicks off the entire DBZ story. After Radtiz is defeated, Goku and his allies end up going through an entire series of episodes where he ends up battling his brother, a pair of Sayian warriors named Nappa and Vegeta (Vegeta eventually becomes their ally), a tyrant named Freiza, androids and a mutant named Cell. Sound a little complicated? It pretty much is.

Well anyway, you end up playing through the game starting from when Goku meets his brother Radtiz to the final battle with Cell. The level designs are pretty much simplistic and the formula is easy to get used to: Collect items, purchase upgrades, smash enemies and battle a boss. The game takes players through the majority of the Dragonball Z storyline. It provides a quick narration for those who don't know the story (Though you probably will end up getting intensely confused in the jumble of sumarrization of over 200 episodes) and replaces the load times with scenes of the episodes. Fans will probably rejoice at getting to watch a collage of scenes along with a familiar narration (And it saves you the boredom of load times).

The gameplay is somewhat linear. Basically players are thrown into the game with a preset loadout of characters depending on the level (For example, the first player gets the primary character and the second player gets the secondary character). The game's co-op mode makes it much more enjoyable...its much more fun bashing androids with a friend than alone.

Throughout the game, players get the chance to collect Z Coins or the game's currency. They get to stop at a flashing Z icon set on the level in which they can purchase a certain upgrade. These upgrades include increasing your flight speed, teleportation, combo moves and upgrading your melee attacks with roundhouses, uppercuts and grappling. The game is pretty true with the Dragonball Z storyline (Except with the enclusion of saibamen in the Cell Saga...whats up with that). For example, in certain boss battles (Such as against Vegeta, Frieza and Ginyu-Goku) when playing co-op mode, players end up switching turns playing by using the timer set on the screen. It makes the game more faithful to DBZ, but is kind of annoying.

The game isn't really anything more than a simple beat-em-up. You end up moving throughout the level (Collecting items such as health, energy and Z-Coins along the way) beating up enemies before an impending boss battle. Sometimes it seems to take forever to just clear forever, since you can't just ran past your enemies. Enemies sometimes constantly keep on spawning into the area and in later levels clearing just one section takes a good while.

The combat sequences are sometimes fun but get repetitive after a while. The enviroment is pretty interactive...a kick combo can send an enemy flying through a boulder or a building and embed them into a mountain wall. Plus you can't deny that sending an enemy flying into the air with a uppercut, teleporting behind them as they fly up and then preforming a special move to send them plummeting into the ground. The inclusion of boss battles in nearly every level is just well...repetitive though. Especially since some of the bosses don't really seem to be doing anything different. Yeah, you can notice that Recoome can make shockwaves and the Burter/Jeice battle allows them to preform team moves, but it still doesn't deviate from the already built-in formula.

The graphics look pretty good. They aren't cell shaded, but come close. The characters and enviroments retain their cartoony visuals and characters such as Goku, Trunks and Piccolo look great. The sound effects aren't great, but are pretty decent. The trademark groans and shouts as you power up are still included, and explosions and the solid smack as enemies fly through a solid object will probably appease fans. The voice acting sound pretty accurate as well. Oh, and the character animations are pretty well done too. DBZ can tell that when their character makes certain hand motions that they are about to preform one of their trademark moves. Each character gets a special attack (They purchase it automatically somewhere in the middle of the first level). For example, Goku's Kamehameha, Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, Trunks's Burning Attack and Gohan's Masensako are all included.

The controls are pretty simple as well, but aren't perfect. The target locking system needs to be tuned a little more...it eventually begins to hurt your fingers after constantly tapping the R1 button. Plus there is no auto-locking feature, so without holding down the lock-on button, your punches and kicks end up going absolutely nowhere. Plus, the game's combat moves don't really seem to be pulled off correctly...characters kind of hang in one spot after they finish a combo which doesn't feel right. Plus, the punching and kicking seems kind of slurred and doesn't quite flow as it does in other action games such as Jak 3 or Spider-Man 2.

So, pretty much in conclusion, if you're a hardcore action gamer, I don't really suggest doing anything more than renting it. If you're a DBZ fan, I'd reccomend to rent it first. The game is way too short...after a good few days, you can easily beat it on Normal mode. So in conclusion...its pretty much a decent action/adventurer. Its definetely not worth buying, unless you're a MAJOR DBZ fan. And I mean major.

3-0 out of 5 stars Why have gaming magazines been calling this an RPG?
Let me say for a moment that for what this game is, I think it's simple, a little bit fun, and generally okay.The style of fighting they used in this game and the powers you can use while doing so are generally fun and enjoyable the first time you play.You might get tired of it after a while.It lasted me a few hours or so.
But anyways, it's not a bad little game overall.Just one problem, though.Lots of people in gaming magazines and such have been referring to this as a "Dragon Ball Z" RPG.Yeah, right.Donkey Kong 64 was as much an RPG as this game was.Basically, they have you collect "health capsules" and "ki capsules" across several stages while fighting off hordes of bad guys.Collect ten health capsules and your max health will increase.Collect ten ki capsules and your max ki (like DBZ mana) will increase.Other than this, the only rpg-like element in the game is the move-earning, and not really that much.There are about 19-20 power-ups you can earn, most of which don't impact your style of fighting too much, though a few (like teleportation) do help to keep it fresh on your first play-through.But Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 was more of an RPG than this game BY FAR.At least it had experience points.The fighting was also better in that game by far.
Now, I did give this game a fair shot, and I'm a big fan of Dragon Ball Z, but as a fan, I'd like to see an ACTUAL DBZ RPG that will fulfill the potential of a Dragon Ball Z game.By this I mean training = gaining experience.Use weights/increased gravity to gain more experience, start out weak enough that frieza can kill you in one hit and slowly work your way up to his level and beyond (you know, like in the series!)Seriously, I can't be the only person who realizes that most of DBZ does not consist of fighting or exploring, but of training (gaining experience) and trembling in fear of an enemy strong enough to kill you in one swift motion.These are things that DBZ gamedom needs a real RPG to portray, but if this is the best they can do, we may never get such an RPG. ...

Editorial Review

Nintendo's winning streak of rehashing and enhancing classic SuperNintendo games for the tiny GBA screen continues with this surprisinglyaddictive arcade racer. For those new to the Mario Kart game series, Nintendomascots (Mario, Donkey Kong, Luigi, etc.) race go-carts along fantastic tracksthat feature various offensive and defensive power-ups (banana peels andmushroom boosts, to name two). Accumulate enough points and you'll win circuittrophies.

Each mascot has a ride that handles and accelerates differently, yetthe controls for each racer feel very tight and precise. The highly detailed,cartoony locales of Mario Kart Super Circuit show visuals that are bothvery sharp and fluidly animated. Though not nearly as fast, Mario Kart SuperCircuit looks better and can be more intense than the vaunted F-Zerolaunch title.

If you perform well enough and collect enough coins in atournament, you can unlock a plethora of bonus tracks--some of which are fromolder console Mario Kart titles. The fun multiplayer options includehead-to-head racing and a balloon battle mode, in which you blast other racerswith power-ups in a huge arena until there's only one driver left. --MarkBrooks

Pros:

  • Bright graphics that are both fast and fluid
  • Multiplayer battle mode is loads of fun
  • Many, many tracks!
Cons:
  • May be too cute for some

4-0 out of 5 stars "Mario Kart" for the Game Boy Advance
The game is very simple.You choose which mode you want to play, with your options being one-player, multi-player, and something called a "Ghost Exchange" that I've never tried but would guess is similar to the "Pok'emon Crystal Version" thing where you can press yours and your friend's Game Boys together and each get a gift from each other.In one-player mode, you can choose from the mode where you race the computer, a mode where you race yourself to see how fast you can get your time, and a mode that I believe is the older set-up of "Mario Kart" (without the coins and points).Then you choose the level of diffuculty, and pick your character (Mario, Luigi, Peach, and you know the rest.)Afterwards, you battle it out on interesting, colorful tracks, trying to rank high and (except in the timed mode) win a trophy.Like I said, it's simple, but it's also very addicting, and the graphics are fantastic!

5-0 out of 5 stars The best game ever.
If you want a game thats challenging and fun,well you picked the right game.This game is so cool and the graphics are awsome.There are many tracks to choose from also you can pick the track that you love the most and race your own ghost.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.

4-0 out of 5 stars Can't save!
I bought this game used and it is as awesome as mario kart on the big nintendo systems. But I give it 4 stars because it will not save anything! I don't know if this is just a problem with my game or if it's a manufacturing defect in a lot of games, but it's very dissapointing. I can't save any track times, or gp championships. So ever time I turn the ame on, I'm starting all over again so I have to play the entire thing to open up the secret tracks!! but as I said, other than that, this is a very good game if you're into mario kart. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Lothlorien Gift Pack
This set of five figures contains the exclusive Haldir and Celeborn figures along with Galadriel, Frodo, and Strider.

The Haldir figure in his woodland garb is very nice.His boots are particularly cool.

The Celeborn figure is a disappointment.He bears little resemblance to actor Marton Csokas, and his hair should be silver rather than blonde.

The other three figures are available separately.

5-0 out of 5 stars If you love the elves, you will love this set!
This set has five figures, Aragorn, Frodo, Galadriel, Celeborn, and Haldir.Aragorn is much like the Fellowship strider figure, only a little more sturdy.The Frodo is also similar to other Frodo's, but it is still nice.Galadriel is the very same Galadriel that has been around for awhile.I would have liked it if they had redone her.I don't completely like that figure.She's pushing her stomach out too far for me.The Haldir figure is really nice.I like him in his Lothlorien clothes.It's about time they came out with another Haldir.The last figure is Celeborn.He's very sturdy and looks a lot like the character from the movie.His robes are a very nice green color.It is definitely well made.This is a great set for LOR lovers. ...

this is the best i now have an unstopable deck i finaly have exodias head all i need is the left arm and the right leg and i finaly have barrel dragon get this

4-0 out of 5 stars you people should get this set!
Rare cards come to papa! Konami is seriously ripping them selves off here! With this you get Relinquished, Dark ruler Ha des, exodia's head, Judgement of anubis,and other great cards. In addition to that you get the 6 earliest packs ever, most of them very hard to find or even out of print! Within those packs are some cardsthat are even better than the 6 holos! Cards like Raigeki(cant get much better!), Monster Reborn in holo form (not out of starter deck), Jinzo (woo hoo!!!), mirror force (woo hoo again),summoned skull holo form, Magic Cylinder and lots more. This set is great for beginners and experts alike. This set lodes you up with great cards to put in your deck and extra ones to trade for even better cards. And, just for some extra advice I'll order the packs that have came out so far from best to worst: 1)Metal raiders 2)legend of blue eyes 3)pharoah's Servant 4)labrynth of nightmare 5)legacy of Darkness 6)Dark Crisis 7)Ancient Sanctuary 8)magic ruler 9)Rise of Destiny 10)Soul of the Duelist 11)magicians force 12) Pharoanic gaurdian. I cant really put Flaming Eternity in a place yet because it just came out and I dont really know the cards that well. So I hope this reveiw is helpful to you.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great product - but buy it in the store
I have a child who loves to draw, color, and paint millions of pictures and make papers with stuff stuck all over them.So many, that they're everywhere and a lof of them eventually find their way into the trash.This is a great product for this kind of situation.My kid was excited over the large size of the paper.There is enough paper to last a while.You don't have to have an easel to enjoy it.The only dissappointing thing about it was the cost of shipping it - it came in a way-oversized box by itself and made the overall cost to buy it too expensive.

5-0 out of 5 stars Doesn't have to be just for easels...
Being a preschool teacher I use these all of the time. I have found that taking the sheets out individually clipping them to the easels clip to be the best way to work with them. Even if you don't have an easel these are wonderful for children of all ages. Large, unlined sheets of paper encourage children to be creative and to express themselves in a completely original way. For infants, toddlers, and preschoolers I will often tape the sheets to the table and let them color/paint/glue to their hearts delight.

5-0 out of 5 stars Too Heavy
I bought this pad for my twins.They use it on their little tikes double easel.This pad is a little to heavy to stay underneath the clip.When they start drawing on it, it starts to slip down.However, easel pads are not easy to find in our area, so I will probably continue to buy these.They have lots of pages in each book and good quality paper for "little artists". ...

Editorial Review

To help you start your Game Boy Advance collection, we've created this special bundle, which includes the games Fire Pro Wrestling , Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and selected accessories. With Fire Pro Wrestling, you can enter the ring solo--or with a friend for some tag-team action--and execute dozens of moves, holds, and throws. In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, players perform hundreds of complicated tricks for points, and can ride as T. Hawk or any of a dozen other pros in the game. We've also included an AC power adapter to help you save on batteries and a Worm Light Advance to help you play through those low-light situations.

The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability; a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations; smart power management that extended battery life; and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultra-portable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedules, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike.

Now the Game Boy Advance (or GBA, as it's already being called) comes to us with power that would have been unthinkable back in the day. The portable's 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former's 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying beeps and boops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitized stereo sound. The extra processing muscle also means you can network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun off of one shared cartridge. Only two Game Boy Color units could link together, and each unit had to have its own copy of the game.

What's not being replaced, however, is the wide selection of Game Boy games. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play its own line of colorful games--including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Army Men Advance, High Heat Major League Baseball 2002, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2--as well as all of the monochrome and color games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems (nearly 500 in total). Players can view the older games in their smaller, originally square dimensions, or, with the touch of the shoulder button, expand the game to fit the GBA's larger screen. We tried enlarging the screen on a Game Boy Color edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and found that Mr. Hawk was much easier to see.

When you first pick up the system, you'll be amazed how lightweight it is. At fewer than 5 ounces and a little larger than a deck of playing cards, the system easily fits into a shirt pocket without any sag. The GBA's wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands. The former design too often pushed the left and right thumb knuckles together during gameplay. The new layout should be comfortable for all ages, and the center screen orientation makes it easy to see.

Game Boy Color owners will find the GBA's larger screen somewhat darker than they're used to, but that's because the screen is outfitted with antiglare technology. Like the old Game Boy Color, the color LCD is not backlit, so you need pretty good light to play by. Unlike that system, though, you won't be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the hot-spot reflection of the light bulb in your screen.

But you'll also notice the graphics. Sporting what's basically a redesigned SNES technology, you'll see things on the GBA that you'd see on the big consoles, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects--technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to throwing a touchdown pass to crawling through a dungeon.

Some might argue that Nintendo could have put even more power into the Game Boy Advance. After all, the 32-bit video game had its heyday more than five years ago. Perhaps, but after handling this new handheld, we're inclined to think that Nintendo wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade's technological storms, we think the Game Boy Advance is here to stay, and we're glad. --Porter B. Hall

This is the coolest thing! My friend just got one for his birthday and it's neat! I haven't played tony hawk on gba yet, but I played it on N64 and it was the chad!

3-0 out of 5 stars Happy with GBA and TH2, forget the rest
As a Nintendo fan I was happy to see this unit come out.However, stay away from this bundle.The light unit and the power back can be bought seperately for less than the cumulatice price of the bundle and the wrestling game is just not fun.My advice get the GBA and Tony Hawk 2, just don't buy it in this package deal!

2-0 out of 5 stars Much ado about nothing!
As an avid Nintendo fan, I was really excited about purchasing a Game Boy Advance this summer.So I got one, and was thoroughly disappointed.Not that the games aren't awesome and the graphics aren't smooth.I am disappointed that the screen is so difficult to see.Without a wormlight or other illumination, the screen of the Game Boy Advance is too dark to facilitate gameplay.Nintendo says they didn't include a backlit screen because it would have drained the batteries too quickly.They should have built in rechargable batteries and gone with the backlit screen.I am highly disappointed with my Game Boy Advance.Save your money.If you just HAVE to get one, Pelican sells a hooded light that also doubles as a screen protector.That gives you the brightest light with the least amount of glare on the screen. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Great game,
I remember, hearing about this, so I rented it. I had heard comparisons to Full Spectrum Warrior, which was a lesson in positioning, while this was an FPS that .
If, it's made with the help of Marines, it has to be good. I only wish they put more work into the the graphics of the game in the early part, it looks, too motion-captured, and the voice of the Lance Corporal you play as gets annoying "GONZALEZ!, GONZALEZ!". BUT the moment you enter that urban environment, you get that feeling you could be hit from anywhere from rooves to back-alley corner and, you can. Other than the difficulty born from realistic tradition (Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six), clearing rooms is a blast! I played Star Wars Republic Commando, but those guys had personal shields like in HALO, and could be revived at any moment. But when your guys are stacking up to breach a room in Close Combat, you get that feeling like, I hope my guys make it and wipe every guy in the every enemy in the room off the face of this simulated Earth.Usually no-one is left alive in the room. And finally, it's a small detail, I'm happy I can jump into prone! Another memorable moment I remember making a guy drop his weapon, hands on his head, then, the sneaky creep pulls out a pistol. Realism baby, authentic realism.
You can tell MARINES were involved in this, even past it's faults. I have yet to beat this, as work, and other games I have yet to beat.

4-0 out of 5 stars This Game Aint for Weak players.
I think this game is far better than any other squad shooter out ,with exception to Brothers in Arms.I'll admit the squad A.I. is not the greatest.But if you order them CORRECTLY you will not have many problems at all.The enemy A.I. is far superior to your squads or any other game to date.This game gets some bad reviews because its probably too hard for some little kiddies and some novice gamers.This game is WAAAAAYYYYYYY MORE REALISTIC than Full Spectrum Warrior.Who the heck would go into a firefightand just command people with a giant green cursor?? In F.S.W. You just sit back and watch you men do all work.Where is the REALNESS in that? Im so sick of hearing that lame game FSW is better. F.S.W. is soo unrealistic & lame it sickens me.Also WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH A PISTOL AGAINSTA MACHINE GUNNER NEST???? WHY DONT YOU PICK UP THAT DANG RPK OR AK47 & USE IT AGAINST THE ENEMY?? INSTEAD YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING A PISTOL.There's a saying that goes dont bring a knife to a gun fight.Well dont rely on a pistol against a friggen 75 clip RPK.Not a wise choice.If you pick up the enemies dropped weapons there's plenty of ammo to take out the enemies.DONT GET ME WRONG AINT NOTHIN WRONG WITH A GOOD PISTOL! BUT DONT CRY ABOUT NOT HAVING A PISTOL WHEN THE DEAD ENEMY JUST DROPPED A FULLY LOADED 75 CLIP RPK ,PICK IT UP SOLDIER AND FRIGGEN USE IT BABY BOY!In the real world ,YES ENEMIES WILL SWARM YOU FOR NO APPARENT REASON THATS THERE JOB, TO TAKE YOU OUT.There'ssome seriously intense firefights in this game. They feel more real than the very scripted F.S.W. Not everything in real life is set up to flank at all times .Sometimes you have no choice but to go straight up the friggen middle. This game does a good job of having a ,what I would call a green squad ,where sometimes they will freeze up a little when the shooting gets tense,Im sure this happens to realworld GREEN marines ,albeit a very few though as MARINES ARE SOME OF THE BEST DANG FIGHTERS ON EARTH! This game does a great job a putting you into unfamiliar and adverse situations where everything isnt set up so precise as to just flank here ,use that wall ,or take cover there .Its more realistic feeling to me because there is a sense of intensity and tough fighters who are unpredictable at best.Its not just a cookie cutter type game where it sticks to one simple format flank,suppress,fire. Im sure real world enemies have figured out these common tactics. This game does a good job of putting us in the place of the REAL MARINES. Who are some seriously tough sons a &^%*$#.MY Hats off to youbad @$$es! First To Fight aint for whimps.Go Ahead and cast your negative vote ! Just because you couldnt beat the game on REALISTIC mode dont cry about it fancy pants!! Isnt Fight the pansy flowers with water pistols part 2 out yet? Maybe you should play that instead?If your just the casual gameror a little kid RUN FROM THIS GAME ITS TOO HARD FOR YOU! From alot of the reviewers here from there comments I can tell that they dont know how to play this game and order there squad correctly and they dont know some of the other commands,or they dont know how to issue them.Its not your fault its just F.S.W. spoiled you kiddies!

2-0 out of 5 stars Not as tactical as they want you to think.
First of all i am 15 years old (16 in october) not 12,i just don't feel like registering right now.

When i first heard about "First to Fight" and saw the previews and screen-shots i was very exited,as i am an avid tactical shooter fan.

The ads and previews said it was a sqaud based shooter,with a new "phycology" AI (artificial inteligece) system in place to help your sqaud,and enemy OP-FORS act and react more realisticly to the chaos of war.

I thought cool, another ghost recon/rainbow six, one shot one kill,instant death,tactical kind of games.


NO.


The manual talks about setting up ambushes,use stealth,and breaking the ememy's will to fight.
But is (alost always)imposible to do these things because almost everthing is scripted.

For example:After pain-staikingly clearing out a road full of angry malitia-men,you move on to the target buiding father down the road only to cross an invisible line,triggering a mob of OP-FORS that swarm you from all directions leaving you to fight off the mob by yourself while your stu... uh i mean mentally challenged,team mates (ahem) just stand around and take pot shots like untrainded amnesia ridden fools who have never seen an m-16 in there lives.

Squad commands are almost imposible to coordinate because you have to be able to see an enemy to order supression fire from your team.And while you have your crosshair on the target's head why not just shoot,instead of asking one of you "elite" sqaud members to do it?

On the plus side the Sound is very good.Gun shots are loud and crisp,explotions sound cool,and the music is good.

The controls are decent,very playable and easy to use.
I you push the thumb-stick forward all the way you will walk at a slower pace that allows you to aim better(This is usefull for clearing streets)if you tap the thumbstick forward twice,your charecter will run fast with his gun down,and you will not be able to shoot.

The graphics are bland and empty,there is little imersion in the game.This is 2005,games should be looking better than this,Halo proved that in november of 2001.

Pros-

good physics
great sound design
decent story
cool intro
pick up and play controls
room takdowns are effective

Cons-

Horible AI
Bland graphics
No mission list
heavilly scripted
all-around,not fun


If you like medal of honor,or shadow ops,then you might want to give this game a rental and just play run and gun without your lame sqaud,for the rest of you i recommend that you steer clear of this one.

This is good for study time/study hall because if you have a big test, this would be very helpful

5-0 out of 5 stars Good for both studying and cheating
I love the iquest!!! The only thing is a girl in my class brought hers to school than she would use the calculater to cheat. It's a nice toy but don't let your child cheat with it!

5-0 out of 5 stars Tiger Woods y'all......it's all good y'all
Having bought and played the EA Sports Tiger Woods series since it came out I have a pretty good idea of what is to be expected.I loved TW 2004 and played that game until the disc starting smoking and caught on fire.For all the people who want to buy a golf game and don't have TW 2004 you should buy this game especially since you can buy 2005 for thirty bucks now.If you have 2004 and also have Xbox live you should buy 2005 since the online play is great. If you don't have Xbox live I will break down what I like and dislike about the game.

What I like about TW 2005 -
First of all the basic controls are the same and gameplay is almost exactly the same - they did add Tiger vision but I will get back to that later.The graphics are similar and the courses are similar.There are more golfers to choose from - and I am very excited that Natalie Gulbis is added again this year because she is beautiful and she adds alot to the LPGA tour.There are better clothes this year, and more sponsorships
are available in your PGA tour season.Also they added Tiger-proofing, I haven't really gotten really in depth into that so I can't say to much about it but it looks pretty cool.

What I dislike about TW 2005 -
There is basically one thing.The game is too easy.This is where the Tiger-vision comes into play - there is no skill in putting now.They should make the Legends harder.The PGA tour season is too easy.The first tournament I finished 70 strokes ahead of the next person.Other than this I really love this game.I do have one minor complaint.Some of the "fictional" courses have illegal holes.If it is humanly impossible to reach the green in four stokes on a par five that is an illegal hole.I think there is one hole that is a par four and its impossible to reach the green in three strokes too.These are stupid complaints though.

Basically I bought this game because I love the EA Sports Tiger Woods series, if you do as well.....Hurry and buy this game!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Game Ever!!!!!!
This game is very very good because the graphics are really good, it has a lot of options and you can create your own career.It has a lot of cool players and lots of good unlockables like courses and players.You can also make courses with lots of strange colors and weird things.There are also tournaments for you to play.You can also make your own people and design their clothes, pants and shoes.The players look very realistic and they're very cool looking.There are also players who are not professionals that you can play with.The players reactions to when they hit the ball are very good like, if they hit a bad shot they will slam their club or if they hit a good shot they'll smile.The crowd also makes a lot of cool noises and applauds a lot of shots.There is one more thing which is the commentary.The announcers announce everything very well and sound very realistic.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Golf Game Ever!!
This game is the best golf game because it has very good graphics and you can do so many things.There are also a lot of cool unlockables like people and courses.This game is also fun because you can play with the game and play against the game.You can also make up your own courses with different colors and you can make your own players and design their pants, shirts and shoes. ...
