| As someone who's purely a casual gamer with not enough time on my hands to immerse myself in online co-op gaming, I have to say I'm disappointed with the latest installment in the COD franchise. CODMW was very promising. I felt it had a strong story line, and, as a former US Special Forces operative, I thought it pretty accurately depicted modern warfare at least from the weapons and tactics perspective. This felt like a big step backward, not just in terms of the era in which it takes place, but ... Read More: |

| Ya know I was hoping that this game would be pure shotem' up just like the Halo series, but no, they put in silly individual tests (much like in interchanging levels like Crash Bandicoot) that are repetitive & BORING! I mean ENOUGH ALREADY! This type of play is for children, & they make this an adult game...First you have to fight nemacysts, screaming blind deaf banshees, wretches, exploding wretches, gigantic spiders & now mortors, skitters, exploding skitters, worms, fish, & Skorcher????HELLO!!! ...

| (parent & child co-review): I bought this for my 3rd grade son who has been doing Club Penguin on line for a year. He loves Club Penguin and also loves his Nintendo DS (indispensable for us parents on long trips). It was a no brainer for the Thanksgiving long plane trip. The game has the exact visual appearance and game play style of Club Penguin's spy missions. My son basically disappeared for hours with this (for better or for worse). He played for a 3 hour stretch on the plane coming home. That's direct evidence ... Read More: |

| "Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is one of the best overall games for the Wii! This game combines all 6 of the Star Wars movies into one great game, using Lego blocks for the characters.
There are a lot of options and choices to customize the game, including over 160 different characters to play. The game controls are easy to master and are usable for even very young players. This game will provide MANY hours of enjoyment and is some of the best fun we have had using the Wii! Highly ... Read More: |

| I'm almost 30 years old without kids in my life and I purchased this game. My friends all teased me, but I'm really glad I did make this purchase. It's not the best workout game, but I do break a slight sweat and have a good time while playing. I am by far NOT a fitness guru and could use to tone up a bit. Regardless what your fitness level is though, it's a fun game that can burn a few calories (I don't see anybody dropping a dramatic number of lbs with just this game).
If you're considering this game or Jillian Micheals ... Read More: |

| I haven't had so much fun with pokemon in a long time. Much better than the first one. Lots more interesting. Never a dull moment from mission to the quests. If your new to Pokemon Ranger Series, this one is by the far the best and most enjoyable. Hint, Hint a strategy guide helps!
I recommend it for all ages. enjoy |

| This may be a fun game. I DONT KNOW. I just bought a xbox 360. Hooked up the xbox 360. Slipped in the game disc. And I get a screen saying I must update xbox 360 in order to play this game. Not sure who is to blame for this.
I know people are going to write in saying the only the game should be reviewed and not this kind of flaw. I cant review the game till I get one of my friends over to my house to run a wire to the tv and have a hour or two to do this. Not a easy task to do at 5:30 in the morning. It is a shame because this seems to be the ... Read More: |

| Lame. The word to describe this waste of your time and money. The story is lame, and at times will make you cringe. The game play is lame as you seem to do the same thing over and over and over again. There are far better Star Wars video games. There is no creative aspect to this game. Yes, there are some cool force powers, but KOTOR had that. The story confuses several pre-New Hope story lines, and has nothing to offer other than another example of how Lucasarts cares only for sales.

| This game is great for anyone who likes to be involved in games for a long time. It's visually beautiful, fun to play, and leaves me wondering what will happen next in the story. It's also very good at reusing maps so that you don't have to learn the intricate details of a new map for every adventure. |

| I picked this up as a rental and am glad I did. It is pretty entertaining for about an hour, but 30 minutes later my arm was killing me. Also, that coincides with the amount of time it took to finish the storyline. It is mostly a mortal combat type of gameplay, with a set sized arena where you fight the best of three matches and then you get a cut scene that moves the story along. Oddly enough, it is how the Clone Wars cartoon is moving on the TV. You only get 7 fighters, but it looks like you can unlike 3-4 more. I just don't have the arm or wrist strength to open them ...
