Hydro Thunder Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this game after playing it at a local arcade. This game is incredible!!! Some of the best graphics I have ever seen! The tracks are great, with hidden shortcuts and boosters evrywhwere. You start out with three different speedboats that are loyal throughout the whole game, then as you get better and start beating the tracks in 1st 2nd or 3rd you start getting amazing tracks from Lake Powell to New York. after you get the easy mediun and hard levels and boats, You can try your luck and go for the bonus tracks and boats, which are extremely fun ranging from a fishing boat to a armed responce ship, and the tracks like Nile Adventure which will blow your mind.

The best game ever is this one. With awsome 3D graphics. With the best boats and tracks, including bonus tracks and boats to win. plus even more extra boats on the tracks for fun like cruise ships. Animals and people are also in it for example killer wales and eskemos in the alaska track. The place I played this game was at a bowling party. I would give this game six stars instead of five. I would highly recommend this game for anybody who likes boats or racing.

Having played this game in the arcade, I went out and got it for my N64. I wasn't very surprised at how the game ran, because I had played it before, but I was a bit disappointed in the graphics. I was using an Expansion Pak and I thought they could still be better. Althought the boats and courses are very interesting, most of your time is spent trying to beat them. The easy levels are far too easy, and then the medium levels get dramatically hard. The hard levels are basically impossible except for New York Disaster. Although I do like all the boats you can get, my personal favorites are Razorback, Rad Hazard, and Tidal Blade. What is also good is that you can adjust the camera angle any way you want to, so once you find the right view for you, you won't be bothered by the game. The courses are well designed with lots of shortcuts, but it gets very annoying trying to beat them. I really like the way the police that chase you in the Far East, The Greek Isles, and Venice Canals all speak in a different language, so it makes them sound funny. There are also major drops like the ones in Lake Powell that are extremely fun to manuver. The point is, the game is fun, but it could have been better.

PS: You will need a Memory Card to save your data.

Honest reviews on Hydro Thunder

This port of the classic arcade game might be a slight step down graphics wise, but still delivers the face-paced water racing experience of the original. Very challenging for beginners, yet well worth the time needed to overcome the relatively steep learning curve. If you liked the original arcade game or water-borne racing in general, this is a must have for N64 owners.

I just got this Lilo & Stitch game after seeing the movie. the movie was great and the game is really fun! u get to play as both Lilo and Stitch and go though many levels

I love Disney games and the like because they appeal to both boys and girls. This game is not too difficult to play. The game lets you know what buttons to push to jump, and do "voodoo" without stopping the game to find the instruction booklet. It's all right on the screen. I had a problem saving my game though, as there aren't many times that you can save your place. Maybe I'm wrong, since the game is fairly new and I may not of discovered everything yet. I liked the movie clips that played throughout. Gives me something to watch till the movie comes out in Dec. Overall, it's fun play.

to play both Lilo and Stitch has been a real adventure. the levels are very fun to play in, the enemies are easy to beat, and the plot follows the movie pretty well.

This game is one I would definatly recommend.

Aliens vs. Predator Requiem - Sony PSP Review

Customer Ratings:

This game is great. You play as a predator who can really kick butt, blow up a tank, and be home for dinner. Your main enemies are soldiers, alien warrior, and later you fight predaliens. This game is short but has a lot of replayability. This game is prabably worth 30 bucks but if your a fan like me youll think its worth it. Go slice an alien with your new toy!!

This is an ok game to spend playing on an afternoon with nothing better to do. It has nothing really unique about it but it is cool running around as the Predator. There's a few things I didn't like about it. No jump button? Kinda irritating. Also, the fighting is a basic slish slash two hit combo that is frankly boring to watch after the first few times you see it. The different Pred views, (heat,alien, and mechanical) are completely useless. Plus, one of the big draws of the movie was the PredAlien. Not even hinted at. Doesn't exist in the game. And the whole game has but one boss fight, against a helicopter for that matter. Really, I found myself looking forward to the extremely short game to be over. This game is really only good for people who love Predator and Aliens. But even then, it'll just sit in your PSP case.

I was very suprised at the good graphical values until I went into the thermal/tech/alien vision modes and they either felt it necessary or accidently put in a constant flicker every 2 3/4 seconds and it annoys me trying to attack much less See what I am doing.

alas the cool targeting reticule from the alien vs pred game on pc from 10 years ago has limited use here and only in shoulder gun mode.

you can customize your pred with all the weapons and pred tech you could want for alien head busting and shooting them in alien vision mode can be quite enjoyable.

after a while you realize it's another 3rd person shooter with goals like "collect info from the predator's mask" and "destroy the cloaked predator ship" and while these are decent missions they are dreadfully short.

overall this game is a stripped down of the pc title alien vs predator with a decent control scheme unfortunately bogged down by a few clunky menu systems.

not perfect by far but still a great handheld shooter where you can Cloak sneak up on your friend and let him/her have a good shoulder cannon blast at max power with several choosable pred body types for multiplayer.

Graphics: a bit dark but simply beautiful in places too 4 stars.

Sound: very good 5 stars

Fun: always a blast killing aliens but the multiplayer is where the real fun can be found here. 4 stars

Overall: 4 stars could have had more multiplayer options and quite a bit more customization and sadly the campaign mode seems a little thin and lacking but overall a fun game to play with a few minor flaws.

The Good: You can play as the Predator, all the series trademarks are here

The Bad: But done badly, stupid AI, bland and boring graphics, levels, repetitive snore inducing combat

I had high expectations for this game and they were quickly brought down. Once you start playing you'll notice the game feels a lot like Star Wars Battlefront because it was made by the same people. The game sports sub-par graphics that don't do the PSP justice. AVP has an almost non-existent story with no voices just text at the beginning of each mission.

The combat is simple and boring with the mashing of the square button or using your special weapons with circle. You can use everything from Predator's spear, to shoulder cannon, to his throwing disc. Every level is laid out the same and is boring and bland. Each mission has you destroying Predator technology or killing Alien husks.

Some missions even throw in broken stealth by having you turn on your cloak and running past the brain-dead humans. While AVP MAY entertain you for a short time it's nothing special or worth really checking out.

Buy The Sims - Xbox

Customer Ratings:

When my little sister first got this game, I thought it would be like any other Sims game I played. Play it then get bored in 10 minutes. You see, I never really fell in love with the PC Sims game. Maybe it was because of the snail-slow loading times, maybe something else. But I am highly suprised with this game.

PROS: 1. The Sims are on XBOX!

2. Some good 2-player mini games

3. The Get a Life mode is a great addition.

4. And the same old Sims goodness (court wife, court neigbors wife, court neighbors daughter, court girlfriend, etc.)

5. and some more extra goodies in between (did I hear Monkey Butler?)

6, you got to earn the original sims mode and other goodies (in the original menu, it only has "Get A Life" mode)

CONS: 1. There is something missing in the graphics, but I cant tell what

2. Controls are hard to understand and frustrating

3. you've played the original sims version before

4. Only has the first 3 sims version on it (so there is no vacation mode, no pets, and no nightlife)

5. the Love Bed is locked when you start the game. THE LOVE BED!!!

6. I HATE DUDLEY LANDGRABB!!! He is so lazy! He doesnt even answer the phone! (calls it "hell's bells")

FINAL VERDICT: Avid Sims fans can sprint to the store to get this one. Casual fans can walk.

I love this game on the PC and I love it on the Xbox. The load time is much faster on the Xbox and the graphics are just great. It was just as addicting on the console as I played it for hours when I first got it.

My only gripe with this Xbox version is the two player mode. This great feature can only be unlocked after completing several "scenarios" within the game. For those of us that are all too familiar with this game, unlocking that feature is tiresome and boring!

Other than that, it is a great game to own

... after picking up that controller I was hooked! Though the controls could use a litlle tweaking I got used to them in no time. When I first heard the game was coming out I had some doubts but wow this game is awesome! If you have the computer games and enjoy them then you will love this version! The 3D graphics are amazing and it is so much fun! With the computer games I got bored after awhile with just going to work coming home and going to bed day after day (In the game not real life). In this game you are constantly having to reach certain goals and you never run out of things to do. The multi player part is also fun! Overall this is a great game and a must have!

Thank You Much For Reading!

Honest reviews on The Sims - Xbox

I admit that The Sims is the only video game, on PC or a console, that I have ever played with any regularity. I suppose this review is mostly intended for people of a similar mindset, since I have no idea how to criticize the ease of controls compared to other games, or whether the load and save times are relatively fast or slow. I found the Xbox version of the Sims to be extremely entertaining, with some new additions that were fun and inventive.

First of all, the two-player option. This was just a stroke of genius. I'm sure making the PC version multiplayer would have been impractical due to the difficulty of two people being able to sit within easy reach of the same keyboard. But the Xbox is the perfect place to launch this idea, and it works well. The fact that your Sims can compete against each other keeps the game exciting and creates many new situations.

Also, the fact that you can choose to have goals, in Get A Life mode, is a new addition. This, to me, was the best addition of all. I recall during particular stretches of a Sim's life on the PC game, I would be bored with what was going on: sending my Sim to work every day to try and earn money for a needed item or get a promotion. With the goals, which get progressively more complex through the levels, the Xbox version eliminates those periods of the game. There is always something to try for or work on, and the goals are spread out so that you are generally just about to achieve one of them.

The one star I deducted for the fact that so many of the items from the expansion packs are not here. It seems like these games have enough memory that more options of things to buy could have fit into the game. Maybe not. I look forward to perhaps a later version of this game that will feature all of these missing objects, and maybe another neighborhood like the Downtown in Hot Date. Now that would be a perfect game.

What makes this game so much fun? For whatever reason, I can't put a finger on it. But this much is true: if the game were more complex, if it had less humor, if it changed one thing, it would not be so successful as a video game!

Certainly, this game is addictive. I had never played the PC version, but some buddies of mine have been crazy for it. I bought "the Sims" for XBOX the day it was released. It lived up to my expectations. Tons of fun, with lots of humor, very open-ended, and addictive!

Let me write this homage to the folks at Maxis/EA: thanks for a revolutionary game! There's nothing else available like "the Sims." And I'm glad they made the commitment to bringing it to the XBOX console with the quality seen in the PC version.

I especially enjoy the "Get a Life" game mode. The player creates a Sim and must meet goals to advance to newer and larger houses. Sort of like a game within a game. Not only is the goal-oriented play addictive and interesting, it also acts as a very effective tutorial for the more open-ended "Play the Sims" game mode. I really applaud Maxis/EA for including the "Get a Life" mode, which I do not think is available in the earlier PC version.

One gripe I have (which is an insignificant gripe) is that I was not able to import my Sim from "Get a Life" into my "Play the Sims" neighborhood. I would have really liked that option.

Since I needed to create a brand new character for my "Play the Sims" neighborhood, I created a young, single black man living in a modest home and starting a career in the military. One of the coolest things about the Sims is that you can create a character just like you (I am a 25-year old married white male). But sometimes even better is the ability to role play the life of someone very different from you!

Skylanders Giants Single Character Pack Core Series 2 Prism Break Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This is the Giants Series 2 upgraded re-released version of the original Prism Break from the Skylanders Spyro's Adventures game (He's an Earth element character). He now can level up to 15, has a new WOW POW power, and you can switch upgrade paths! Prism break shoots laser beams out of his crystal hands at his enemies, drops giant crystals from the sky on them, creates a wall of crystals around him for protection, and shoots his laser beam off of crystals to take out more enemies around him at one time. Hes a very powerful skylander! It was hard to decide between this Series 2 edition or the Series 2 Lightcore edition of Prism Break for my nephew since they are the same but do have a couple of differences. This version does not light up like the series 2 Lightcore edition where you put him on the portal and his hand crystals light up green and look that way on the game as well, or have the "smart bomb" effect which causes an initial blast of energy that destroys enemies when placed on the Portal that can only be used once per level per Skylander lightcore. BUT since this non-lightcore edition is a series 2 re-released version, he has a WOW POW power that gives him an even stronger laser beam in the game which can be used more throughout the game than the "smart bomb" on the Lightcore edition and it also gives you the ability to switch upgrade paths in the game which you CANNOT do with the Lightcore version. He works on both the old version Skylanders Spyro's Adventures game & the new Skylanders Giants game which is great to be able to play him through the original game (the lightcore edition only works on the Giants game). (I ended up getting my nephew the lightcore edition since he's younger and would enjoy the light-up effect more than the WOW POW power)

Giants Series 2 Prism Break (non-lightcore):

PROS: has a WOW POW power that gives him a stronger laser beam; can switch upgrade paths in the game; can be used on the old Skylanders Spyro's Adventures game

CONS: does not light up; does not have the "smart bomb" effect

Giants Series 2 Lightcore Prism Break-

PROS: hand crystals light up on the portal and in the game which looks really cool; has a a "smart bomb" effect

CONS: does not have the new WOW POW power like the non-lightcore series 2, cannot switch upgrade paths in the game, can only be played on the new Skylanders Giants game, not Skylanders Spyro's Adventures

Came in as was described. Packaged well, and a fun and interesting character overall.

-Prism Break uses his crystals to shoot out beams of light or summon down a crystal that damages and blocks enemy movement and projectiles.

-Upgrades are mostly worthwhile

-Physical model is well made and detailed, except for some small and occasional blotched or scratched paint.

Cheap Xbox 360 Live 3 Month Gold Kit Subscription

Customer Ratings:

Isn't too much of a review to write on here.

The box says 100 MS points, however, as previously stated, there are 400 points. The headset is not like the old one, where the mute button is close to the controller so you can easily switch the mute on and off. The mute button is on the cord, which I find very awkward to use during live game play. The previous reviewer stated that there was an echo, I'm not expert but i think that's due to having your TV too loud, I don't know.

The 3 months of XBOX Live is definitely a must have, though the headset is most definitely sub-par. I ended up throwing it away after a few days as the volume level was unresponsive and the mute button remained constantly engaged, even when it was supposed to leave an open channel. I would probably recommend biting the bullet and getting the wireless headset and getting a 1 year XBOX Live Gold separately for $49.99, that is a much better deal than this bundle.

The only real bonus is the 400 points that comes with the package, I enjoyed being able to purchase some new downloads for Rock Band 2 without spending too much.

Honest reviews on Xbox 360 Live 3 Month Gold Kit Subscription

First of all, when i had the original Xbox i never tried LIVE because i didnt have a good net connection at the time(sbc yahoo dsl ewww) ..then came along Comcast's high speed internet service, then i got hooked up.. finally great net . it made me think of xbox live more.

then came the xbox360 launch, like millions of people who got a unit. i FINALLY tried the xbox live service..and man was i hooked! try playing halo 2 and 3 on this, same with gears of war 1 and 2...you wont regret it!

want to do a beat down ? try playing dead or alive 4 or street fighter online...its a great stress reliever. just watch out for that guy(or Girl) that spend their whole day on line you.ll get your rear handed to you on a platter...but thats part of the fun to a point ..think of it as your own arcade. remember those back in the day? (80s kid here)

Microsoft gives you numerous options to try out their xbox Live service. for me i tried the 3 month plan(but i know ill get the yearly membership now!)

i reccoment getting the gold membership, because not only do you get the option to play against people online ,you also get the option to download bonus game content for live enabled games such as weapons, maps(game backgrounds etc) or even characters, and lots more.

... you also can download arcade and classic games such as castlevania, pac man, Street fighter and my fav the original TMNT 1989 arcade game. these are done with microsoft points you get 400 included in this pack(game money think of it like that) i know some people gripe about this but hey thats a part of life, and its not that bad.

also included is the headset to chat up and trash talk your opponants...its well built, but the sound echos a bit. personally i prefer not using the headset its distracting sometimes, but its there is you want it.

sure sony, and nintendo have online services (im also a sony online member for my ps3 ) i hear that the Nintendo wii service is a joke...then again so is the wii.(nintendo USED to make great systems)

Microsoft has the best layout of all the online services i was up in running in less than five minutes...it adds SO MUCH dimension to your xbox 360 experience..its worth checking out.

Review of Wii Boxing Gloves - Black

Customer Ratings:

I had some problems with fitting the controllers into the glove without them hitting the "B" button and taking me back to the menu screen. You also have to exaggerate your movements to make sure the Wii receiver picks up the signal. Finally, the stance you use playing Wii Boxing is different than real boxing so if you are trying to emulate a cardio boxing class or similar, you will be disappointed.

These gloves are ok, but you DO NOT actually put your hands in the boxing gloves, so I was disappointed. I think if is actually easier to use the remote and nunchuk. These gloves are the most realistic, but again, you cant actually but your hands in them.
