Tom & Jerry Very cool!!!
It sounds awsome and I love Tom&Jerry so this looks Super! I think it's funny Tom or gets flattened in the cartoons and if they do in this game the game is the best!!!

Great Game
I love tom and Jerry!This game is great!It has many levels and it is not too easy and not too hard.Just ignore the other people who rated it... THIS GAME IS GREAT!A total keeper I have 15 gameboy games and I love this one the most.It is durable, and great for all ages!The fact that it is a cartoon show too makes it even more attractive! If you get hooked[which you will, I know I did!]you should watch the show on the cartoon network channel#65, on at 11:00 and 1:30.The TV show rarely uses words but you will get hooked on both of them.my suggestion is during the commercials play the gameboy version of it!Funerific!Definatly worth the money!

Editorial Review

The feisty little adolescent dragon is back in a sequel that is far superior to theoriginal. Both Spyro fans and those who didn't play the first game will revel in theexploratory greatness that is Spyro: Ripto's Rage. Gone are the impossible tasks,unbeatable enemies, and fragmented game flow. This game sports superior controls, morecolorful and faster graphics, a tighter story, achievable goals, and plenty of gameplayvariety.

Don't be fooled by Spyro's cuteness--this isn't a kid's-only game. With multiple goalsand side quests, a fantastic soundtrack by ex-Police band member Stewart Copeland, anda veneer of understated humor, Spyro: Ripto's Rage is highly addictive. Theplayfulness of the main character comes through in the exploration of the otherworldlylevels using the new moves, including super high jumps, rapid underwater swimming,and extended flight and hovering maneuvers.

Determined explorers are always rewarded--sometimes with an ice hockey match or othersub-game, sometimes with riches enough to learn a new move or uncover a new area.Simply put, Spyro: Ripto's Rageis one of the best action/adventure games for thesystem. Despite the fact that this game is a sequel, it manages to bring a fresh new lookand feel to PlayStation gaming. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Massive, fun levels are completely navigable
• Cute and quirky sense of humor will appeal to all ages
• Responsive controls are an extension of Spyro's upbeat and exacting personality

Cons:

• Camera angles can be problematic, but are completely adjustable

SPYRO ROCKS!
I have all the Spyro PS1 games and they rock! The best PS1 games you can buy.
I have Gateway To Glimmer instead of Ripto's Rage though, but they are exactly the same but with diff names and covers.
All the worlds rock, and it's nice to see more friends to help Spyro on his way to beat Ripto- and when you finally beat him, the game still isn't over! How cool? There are many skill points to earn,a amazing new level- the cool Dragon Shores, and a permanent fireball!!
If you have a PS1, you have to play this game!

Spyro!
Spyro fun aholoic sweet game!!! Very fun but not hard, it can be very very easy but it is alot of tottaly wicked fun!

Great, but not Insomniac's Best
I was a little bit disappointed with this Spyro.Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game, but Insomniac could've put a little more effort into it.With only three worlds and about twenty-one levels, this game may only be for true Spyro fans, but, I strongly encourage you to buy this game. ...

very hard-but fun
Guess how long it took us to beat the game?1 month!It was worth it though.A very special race track is your reward with tommy,stu,grampa-lou,and spike the dog.It is a must have!!!!!!!!

Its a pretty cool game!
This came was pretty cool! It does have bad graphics and control, but i like it alot! its a lot of fun. I like the racing part. I would reccomend this game for ages 8 and up. It does get frustrating at times, but i think it was fun. Its great for a rainy day!

Contridicting
I recently read a review entitled "bad for all ages". The reviewer said that he was a kid, so you should believe him. Well, I'm a kid, too. So listen up! This game is great! It is not "a lousy piece of junk". It's challenging and fun! The reviewer did not even tell why they hated it. Well, I think that this game is enjoyable for all ages. There is no violence, blood, or gore. There are tons of little games inside the main game. My dad and I enjoy playing the multi-player games, such as golf, or racing. I highly recommend buying this game. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Film favorites Buzz Lightyear and Woody are back in action withtheir latest video game offering, Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2.The cowboy Woody is in trouble in a game that closely follows the plotof the hit computer-animated flick. Although the game is obviouslyaimed at luring fans of the movie of the same name, it does containgameplay that will appeal to a wider audience. Toy Story 2 isnot a perfect game, but it captures the playability and humor of thefilm, and also has movie-quality animations and graphics.

Woody finds himself kidnapped by Al, the evil toy collector, and it'sup to Buzz to save the day--with a little help from the other toys inowner Andy's room. Buzz must venture outside Andy's house and into thelocal neighborhood. Game environments include a perilous constructionarea, a toy barn, and a sky-rise apartment. Ultimately, Buzz willconfront his arch nemesis, the Evil Emperor Zurg--but getting there ishalf the fun.

During his journey, Buzz must collect missing parts for Mr. PotatoHead. He also calls on his buddies Rex, Slinky Dog, and Hamm the piggybank for helpful tips and directions. Controls are varied but can beconfusing to master. Buzz can climb, do a "super foot stomp," fire hislaser, and perform a Space Ranger spin attack to help him get throughthe various levels.

All in all, though, this game's battle cry should be, "To mediocrity...and not much further." --Bill Hutchens

Pros:

• Better-than-average graphics
• Includes movie clips that aren't available on the Nintendo 64version

Cons:

• Probably too cute for serious gamers
• Choppy control makes some levels frustrating

• As Buzz Lightyear, you've got to rescue Woody from a greedy toy collector

This game is very, VERY bad
Packed with ugly graphics, boring and slow gameplay, Toy Story 2 is an game that really sucks. The movie was boring, but this is worse. Disney/Pixar and Activision made an terrible diaster in every level, combining ugliness, boredom, stupidy and gameplay so bad that it is more boring then Spice World, which is an historical Lame-Game. Don' t buy it, Don' t try it, AVOID IT!!!!!!!!

cool
This is the best game EVER. Get it or be square

"I am Buzz LIghtyear, I come in peace"
GREAT FUN !!!I bought this for my four-year old and he can't stop playing it.I have to force him to put down the controller at bedtime.He loves being able to shoot buzz's laser weapon.He started off needed help, he didn't really understand the concept of the game.Which is perfectly natural, since he's never played on the playstation before.But after some coaching from his daddy and myself, he's become quite a player.He's jumping around and climbing ropes and all sorts of obstacles.He knows where everything is and knows how to get there on his own.He LOVES it!I've tried playing, although I'm not much of a game player, and I love it too!!Great game, highly recommend. ...

Sonic Adventure
Average Customer Review:
CD-ROM

US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

After several years in video game retirement, Sonic the Hedgehog returns as the star of a graphically stunning 3-D adventure game that blows away every other game in the genre. Sonic is joined by five of his friends in a massive quest that spans over 50 game levels filled with remarkable visuals and a pulsating soundtrack. Taking full advantage of the unprecedented processing power of the Dreamcast, Sega's development crew, Sonic Team, has designed several gravity-defying game levels that will keep gamers hooked.

Our favorite level is Windy Valley, which requires you to survive the stormy perils of a tremendous tornado. This tyrant of nature chases you relentlessly before ultimately sucking you into the air and up through its eye. During the chase, the tornado manages to tear up just about everything on the screen. This dizzying visual spectacle moves so fast that you will literally hold on to the game controller for dear life.

Assuming you survive the tornado, there are several more challenging areas to conquer, including a level that requires you to snowboard directly in the path of a fast-approaching avalanche. During the Emerald Coast level, you will race across a precarious dock as a killer whale attacks from below, destroying the wood planks underneath your feet while you attempt to outrun the crazed creature.

We also liked the numerous mini-games scattered throughout this title. When you least expect it, Sonic Adventure tosses in some old-fashioned arcade action, such as pinball or bumper car racing. In between, you can raise virtual pets, known in the game as "Chao." These characters, which are saved using the optional Visual Memory Unit (VMU), can be combined with other Chao characters exchanged between friends or downloaded via the Internet.

Gamers looking to show off the strong processing power of the 128-bit Dreamcast will definitely want to pick up this title. Simply put, Sonic Adventure's graphics surpass those of any other game currently available on any home video game system. Let the Sonic assault begin. --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Strong replay value
• Stunning graphics
• Bonus virtual pet game
• Six different game characters

Cons:

• May be too fast-moving for some players
• Awkward camera angles can inhibit gameplay in some areas

Features

• Jaw-dropping 3-D graphics with unbelievable detail and speed

• 6 playable characters, each with his/her own skills and abilities

• For 1 player

Sonic Adventure is a Dreamcast classic!
Sonic Adventure is an instant Dreamcast classic that shouldn't be missed by any Dreamcast owner.The game features Sonic in full 3d with newly detailed level enviroment.This was one of the first games to launch with the Dreamcast and is still one of my favorite Dreamcast game.The game features a brand new system called the "Chao system" you basicly take care of them and show them new moves it's very simple but you'll need to have a VMU card to do it.The game features more then 5 playable characters.The story in the game is very lame if you ask me they could have done better, not to mention the english dubbing is terrible so just stick to japanes language and english subtitles.

I'll make this short and sweet for you.Sonic Adventure is the best sonic game ever and has great levels, awesome 3d levels and lots of things to do but personally I wanted to beat the storyline instead of that whole chaos thing.I'm going to make this review short and sweet...

Good
-Great Level desighn
-awesome 3d graphics of Sonic for the Dreamcast
-Lots of playable characters which is really great
-the new Chaos growing process, but I really didn't do it I just play the storyline..
-Superb fast pace action

Bad
-horrindess english dubbing
-the cutscenes look horrible even the ingameplay is better then the cutscenes
-Some really bad camera angles ruin the fast pace of this game
-I kind of wished it was a SONIC ONLY adventure...but ohwell

The ugly
-Robotnick..ehehheh

Overall Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast is an instant classic packed with full 3d enviroment and Full 3d character model and fast paced action with some really great music.Some things like camera angles ruin this game and some really bad english dubbing makes it even worse!But overall this game doesn't dissapoint Sonic fans and that is why I'm giving it a

4.2 out 5.

This is still in my opinion the best Sonic Game ever but it was ruined by some flaws...Great game overall though..

Lates

great game to just sit and play
Nice speed and gameplay overall.The only 2 cons are the camera angles and some of the enviroments aren't fully interactive.You can't enter all the buildings with each character.Even with that though it's a great game and some levels are extremely well matched with the background music "red hot mountain". I played this game for nearly three hours before realizing how long I'd been on it.Deffinetly worth the time and money to pick this one up.

Sonic Adventure definately rates Sonic's games up.
I love the story plot that this game promotes.Each character with a very deep story line.That's pretty awesome.The only problem with it is the fact that the story is never explained.It took me a while, but I began to get a good guess.I think, Tikal is dead (she might have been burnt or killed in the war when the island is on fire), and now that Eggman has her Chaos creature, her spirit's enlisting Sonic and friends to help her get him back.I think, when Tikal appears phisically, she's a ghost.If she isn't, how does she become a ball of light?Or, if she isn't, how is it she's still alive?When you see the temple, it's in ruins.But, when Tikal's spirit takes you back in time, it's so vibrant.Your guess is as good as mine, or if you might know the answer.Any way, that's where I am.But, besides that, the game is still noticibally deep.Each character has their own story, each character sees what they are meant to see out of the past, each has their own moves, and there are adventure fields too.How did they fit all they fit on one game.My friend has this game.I haven't played it recently, but I'm pretty sure I like it better then the director's cut version.Why, you ask?My opinion is, original is best.This story is probablyhow Sonic began.Maybe Tikal created all the Sonic world.Not likely, but maybe.The directior's cut version is also going to be out on PC.Boy, that would be cool.I wish I could have that, but my mom doesn't let us play games on this PC.It wrecked our last one.So, I'll have to go without.We're working on getting our dad to understand, and our mom's helping, that the old computer can't be of any more service.We should get a machine made for playing games.And, it's lookin' at a PS2.I'm okay with that,I like Crash Bandicoot the best, and all his big games can be found on PS or PS2.I have a game boy.It's been missing for a month because of 2 of my pesty little brothers and a little sister.I'm not writting a review because I bought this here.I'm writting it in the Customer review section because there wasn't a spotlight review yet. ...

Rayman 2

Editorial Review

Rayman 2: The Great Escape packs more charm and surprisesin a single level than most games can muster in their entire length. This 3-Dplatformer is designed in the same vein as Super Mario 64 for theNintendo 64and the Gex serieson the PlayStation. With the notable exception of SonicAdventure, Dreamcast owners have suffered through a dry spell whenit comes to action jumping games on the 128-bit system. Rayman 2was worth the wait.

The back of the case describes Rayman 2's graphics as "lush," butthat may be an understatement. The game's environments and effects areimpressive. We were awed by the amount of detail that has been designedinto many of the game's environments. Perhaps more amazing is that thegame suffers no slowdown despite the high-resolution visuals.

Pretty graphics aside, Rayman 2 delivers solid gameplay that willsuck in both casual and hardcore gamers. The controls are intuitive andspecial moves are easy to pull off. Rayman has a limited set ofmoves--basically he can run, jump, and shoot energy balls. Analog speed controlis fully implemented, letting users pounce through a field ofbutterflies or tiptoe around a sleeping guard. Several puzzles arescattered throughout the game, but they are so ingeniously designed thatyou'll never feel overwhelmed by their complication.

We were hard-pressed to come up with many drawbacks to this game. Oneslight flaw is the camera angle, which can sometimes interfere with yourability to accurately control the on-screen action. Fortunately, thiscan usually be amended with a few quick presses of the camera controlbuttons. Other than that, Rayman 2 is as good as it gets in thisgenre. Better still, Dreamcast owners get a special bonus: this versioncontains some extra levels you won't find anywhere else. If you havemultiple systems, this is the version to get. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Outstanding visuals
• Tight control
• Excellent level design

Cons:

• Has some 3-D camera problems
• Sound effects lack punch

Definitely a good buy
I bought myself a used Dreamcast last year, and so far Rayman 2 has been one of the best games I have for it.

For fans of the Playstation version, it is a slight disappointment that there aren't actual voices for the cutscenes, which was something that added to the game.

There are some better things about it, though.For one, the frames per second is 60, as oppose to the PS1 version's 30.The graphics are very sharp, and the animation is very well done.

The levels are slightly different than its Playstation counterpart, and involves more maneuvers and features.Also, there is an exclusive multiplayer level found only on the Dreamcast version.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who still has a working Dreamcast.Oh, and it only takes up two blocks of memory space on the VMU, so memory is not an issue.Unless you only have one block.

One of the best Dreamcast games you can buy!
Rayman 2 is a GREAT game!It's graphics are good, and it's gameplay is simply perfect!EVERY Dreamcast owner should get this game!It's challenging, intriguing, and fun.You're supposed to think your way through massive levels (54 to be exact) to get the 4 Masks of Polokus.It's really cool!Get RAYMAN 2: THE GREAT ESCAPE!

Much Better then the PlayStation version (except...)
I first played Rayman 2 on the PlayStation. I loved the game, the voice acting most of all. When I bought my Dreamcast, I bought Rayman 2 for it. I love the Dreamcast version even better. The graphics are absolutly fantastic, as is the music. The only problem I have with it is that the Dreamcast version doesn't have the voice acting. Instead it has everybody talking some gibberish language. This was a big let down, and it's the only thing that's preventing me from giving it 5 stars. However, it's not enough to make me suggest not buying it. You'll have a pretty tough time getting everything in the game, so it will make you come back for more. If you're a fan of adventure games, you really should take a look at Rayman 2 (Dreamcast or PlayStation). I can't wait untill Ubi Soft puts Rayman 3 out on GameCube! ... Read more

Editorial Review

PlayStation owners no longer need to borrow their friend's Nintendo 64 inorder to have a rollicking good old time racing virtual turbo-charged go-karts throughoutlandish environments. Crash Team Racing does an excellent job of re-creatingthat same thrill on the PlayStation.

Crash Team Racing has all the marks of the kart-racing genre, includingbig-headed characters driving diminutive go-karts, power-ups to increase speed and slowdown opponents, and thematic tracks with multiple paths for exploration. WhatCTR adds to the mix is fairness: tighter-turning cars are rewarded for precisiondriving, skillful jumping, and strategic placement of booby traps. Sure, the playing fieldis level, but the better the driver, the better chance he or she has of winning consistentlywithout any annoying "catch-up code."

The one-player game is wonderfully presented as an exploratory adventure, while themultiplayer mode is a split-screen must-play for anyone with a PlayStation (and, ofcourse, friends). Twenty-five tracks, 12 characters, and responsive control makeCTR the gotta-have racing game. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Excellent kart control, including power slides, hops, and wheelies
• Wide tracks encourage passing
• High replayability, especially in multiplayer mode

Cons:

• Characters aren't as cute as those in Mario Kart

Great Game!
A great game for all ages.My 5-year old sister likes it, my 41-year-old uncle likes it.When you race, don't concentrate on trying to get all the weapons to shoot people in front of you, just try to race and butt in front of people.Eventually, you will collect weapons and defence mechanisms.Those are in the Question Mark box.The life points are in the blank box.And always chose a good guy.The bad guys are hard to steer.The god guys are easier to steer but slower.If you can steer good, you'll win (it doesn't matter how fast you are really).I reccomend this game to everyone, especially thrill seekers and video game freaks who just want to master every game.

Fun to play
Fun to play especially if you have a young child. You'll enjoy playing this with your kids and they'll love playing it too.

COOL!
This game is asome because its a racing game and i LOVE racing games this game you can pick up to 5 places but thats not all because it just isn't.If you beat all 5 or 7 i'm not sear you can go on to MORE places. ... Read more

Are you ready for Ready to Rumble?
Ready to Rumble is a very interesting boxing game. It has quite a few characters to select from and is unique in it's design of each of it's characters moves according to their particular height weight and reach. It's a very nice game. I give it a 3 out of 5 just because the game play is fairly simple and the challenge is not that great. All that a side it's very entertaining and it will give you hours of fun with your friends. Put in your mouth piece, strap on your head gear, and touch gloves. Are you Ready to Rumble??

AOK for FUN !!
This game my kids love, ages 5 and 8.I knew before I bought it but have confirmed it now after they opened for christmas!!
Good game for them fighting guys !!!!

Fun for all
Boxing game presented in cartoon style with caicature boxers.Although you have to punch and knockout there is no blood or visible signs of violence.All boxers are larger than life, and the playability is good.In arcade mode you can play against computer or friend and there is a championship mode where you can place bets and take your boxer through the ranks training him or her in the gym along the way.Loads quickly also. ...

Kirby 64:The Crystal Shards

Editorial Review

That cute little squishy guy is back in all his pastel glory tosweeten up 2-D life on the Nintendo 64. With 3-D games such asPerfect Dark and Donkey Kong 64 getting the bulk ofattention among consumers, Kirby 64 provides a fun change of pace for bothyoung and experienced gamers who don't necessarily need all threedimensions to have fun.

Young gamers will love the bright, colorful graphics in this game,which is 2-D with some 3-D foreground and background elements. Kirby isjoined by plenty of friends who will aid in his quest to recover thepieces of an important shattered crystal.

While the levels are a bit too easy for older gamers, the gameplay inKirby 64 is original enough to entertain all ages. Kirbystill has an appetite for enemies, sucking them up and spitting themout, but he can also swallow them, inheriting abilities such as fireand cutter. Also, Kirby can now combine enemy powers, often withhilarious results. For instance, electricity plus stone turns Kirbyinto an electrifying little light bulb. Sure, you don't need to use allthese powers, but they're still fun to play with. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Whimsical 2-D graphics
• Kirby 64's copy and combine abilities result in some unique and variedgameplay

Cons:

• May be too easy and too cute for older players

This Game is Deserves 5 stars definetely.
i bought this game about 3 years ago and I think it is one of the best N64 games to date. The graphics are good enough to be an early gamecube configuration, and the music is awesome. the gameplay is cool, like combining the moves to make ultra-weapons. there is no load-time and the game saves by itself. this game isn't very challenging, but the replay value is pretty good. this is one of the best kirby games, and is pretty rare. if you have an N64, this game is a must have. thanks for reading this review, and remember, its good to get a copy now if you havent already, because its going fast!

STINKS!
Yes its me bombermans biggest fan and no I dont give every game exept bomberman 1 star.

TOO CUTE!!! CAN'T..... RESIST!
The classic SNES character is back for N64! It's all about when dark something(forgot the name) Turns all of kirbys friends evil! But fear not! Kirby has a big appitite! and is ready to save the day! Don't listen to all who give it a thumbs down cause this is a great game and I give it two thumbs up! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Every good game deserves a sequel, and the addictive, quirky Mario Party 2 certainlyfills the bill. This multiplayer party title combines the gameplay of a traditional dice-based board game withseveral brief action-game segments, including updated versions of 20 of the best offerings from the originalMario Party. There are also 44 entirely new mini-game challenges that pit players against eachother as they compete to collect the most stars.

Owners of the original Mario Party will be comfortable with this game from the get-go. Eachplayer rolls a virtual die to advance through various board games, including pirate land, western land, spaceland, mystery land, and horror land. Several hidden adventure boards can be unlocked as players advancethrough the game. Each player aims to gain the most stars and become a superstar at the end of the game.Various mini-game challenges and booby traps await gamers as they land on some strategically placedspaces on the board.

While Mario Party 2 can be played as a single-player game (against three computer opponents), thistitle really shines in social situations. This is the perfect game to pull out at parties--assuming you have afew extra controllers in the house. --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Perfect party game (up to 4 players can play simultaneously)
• High replay value

Cons:

• Solo play suffers
• Multiplayer games can take a long time to complete

Features

• Six all-new multiplayer Adventure Boards

My Party needs are fulfilled
After playing and completing Mario Party I needed another game to fulfil my party needs. And this was probally the best thing that I've needed ever since food. Mario Party 2 is just like the first one but with new boards, new mini-games and now there are item shops! The boards are fantastic and are very detailed, so here are the new boards to give you an idea:
Pirate Land: set on 3 islands (always fun)
Western Land: the train is for transportation (great in multiplayer)
Space Land: trigger happy Bowser (big)
Mystery Land: hard to get around (it's fun to curse your enemies)
Horror Land: day and night cycle (my personal favorite)
And there is one more secret board! But I'm not telling what it is! So if youve played the first party then this is your next step and if you haven't played the first one...well it isn't to late to start to play the series.

Another great party!
Mario Party 2 is even better than the first. Like the first, you pick a character (no new ones...) and move along the boards collecting stars. At the end of each turn, you play a minigame. There are 4 Player Minigames, 2 vs. 2 Minigames, and 1 vs. 3 Minigames. This time, there are no control stick twisting games (thank goodness!). Now you can buy items as you pass by the item shop on the board. There are a bunch of new mini-games, but some old ones. The story is that Mario and his friends are making a theme park, but they are arguing about who to name it after. So Toad suggests to play Mario Party to see who is the Superstar. Overall- a great game. I recommend it!

PAAARRRRTTTAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

Scooby-Doo, where are you? He's in your Game Boy Color, of course--along with Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma. Scooby-Doo!

Have no fear; there will be Scooby Snacks to help you along the way. The nonviolent gameplay is set in environments that are reminiscent of the popular TV show, from which the game uses the actual voices. ... Read more
