It's a good game....appropriate for kids, but fun for adults too. It's more of a puzzle-solving game as opposed to a shoot 'em up game, but the puzzles are fairly easy to solve (so the frustration level stays low). I really like the fact that two people cooperate to solve the levels. It makes it more fun - and allows you to play with someone without having to complete. Also, the different video clips are pretty funny as you work your way thru the levels.

I was a little worried about spending so much money on this game, but we love it! I LOVE Wii Fit but this is a nice complement, very different from Fit and also you have the chance to get a lot more upper body exercise. Other reviewers have detailed the games, I'll just say my kids' favorite is Mine Cart Adventure, I like Pipe Slider best, if you do it right your arms will burn!

The drawbacks are the mat can slide around a little from vigorous jumping, and you have to make sure you are hitting the right spot under your feet while looking at the screen. No big deal, and it's so nice to be able to JUMP and run, which you cannot do on the Fit board.

In addition, even if you love Fit, it is nice to be able to alternate days with other physical games so you don't get tired of ... Read More

Here's what all of the fans and wishful thinkers out there need to hear: The game does not mimic your moves like you would expect. You'll find yourself chopping and pitching with no reason. Does it give you a workout? Yes... but an ultimately frustrating one due to the fact that your character is not responding as you are.

After buying this, I discovered that the game, like mostly ALL Star Wars games (sans Battlefront), is a cash-in, folks.

Shadows of almia is a LOT better than the first one. The story mode walks you more clearer through the game. The first one was a little scrambled but this one is a lot more clearer. I'm still currently playing and cant seem to put it down.. Can't wait to get further into the game and see what more unfolds! Also can't wait to get the special quests done!

Video Games : Gears of War 2 Limited Edition
I'll start by saying that I'm writing this review in lieu of hurling my controller through the wall- so I guess the first comment is that the later stages of Gears of War 2 can get a bit rough. I guess my first clue should have been when I accidentally discovered that you can go "down but not out" in single player- a big change from the first game. But I have to say that Gears 2 is one of the best games this year.
Gears 2 picks up six months after the events of Gears of War, document the continuing struggle between Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad and the Locust Horde. Locations range from the destroyed urban environments of the first game before heading underground to the heart of the Locust stronghold. In pre-release interviews, developers were asked if this chapter would follow the trend of epic ... Read More

I am a big DS fan and I love this game. First off, it is a fun gameplay with lots of levels and eight worlds. It also includes a bazillion minigames. Next it allows for all the mini games to be multiplayer and it has a special mode which allows for fun capture the star, all which can be done using one card! The only drawback is limited saving(only at castles and towers) But I jave found that if you get 5 stars and buy a mushroomhouse or level, it will let you save your progress. All in all this is on great game that I recomend to anyone looking for some fun.

Bottom line this game is an over the top, arcade paced, survival horror action game that rocks! Just make sure you always carry a shotgun. It's easier to take out more zombies with the shotgun. Especially when you have zombie barf on you and you can't see anything.

This game is too awesome for words. I haven't had so much fun playing a video game in years. It is innovative, brilliant and sheer joy to play. The best part is the co-op play. Since I got married, I look for games to play with my wife, but the lack of offline co-op game play compounded by her "too many buttons" phobia has confined us to casual wii games. But this game is different. After some initiation, she has really taken it up.

I haven't played single player yet, but in co-op mode, the level design encourages players to work together through means of clever puzzles. The degree of difficulty varies but it is never frustrating. Another thing I liked is that pick and play nature of this game fits right in our busy schedule.

I think it is the best game on playstation 3. Do yourself a favor, ... Read More

I bought the first resistance because it was a cheaper fps game. It was cool for a while and then it became repetitive with the same weapons and killing style. I just recently tried out the 2nd one and within the first 5 mins of the game there is a glitch. When you follow the comander guy onto the bridge he says "uh oh here they come you better take cover," i killed all of the aliens before they reached us and the commander just stood behind cover waiting for the aliens to follow, and then the game would not allow me to continue on. The fact that the aliens never reached us would not allow the game to continue, how stupid. This was within the first 5 mins. I turned it off imediately. I only gave this game a very deserving 2 stars, one for the courage of the developers to produce a second game, and the second star because ... Read More
