One of Two Top Software My Daughter Loves
Right along with the Giggles software this is the highest ranking software for my 3-year-old daughter. As Giggles taught her mouse movement and clicks, Kid Pix Delux has given her a new freedom of interactivity. While she can drag and drop amazing backgrounds, she loves to create lines and circles as they stretch and make goofy sounds. I set this program to automatically start when she turns on her computer. For some reason she loves to exit out of Kid Pix Delux first, go to Giggles (search Amazon for this product,) giggle at the cutest giggles when this program starts, and then comes right back to Kid Pix Delux to do her art work. The CD I bought is for Windows.

can't download to mac
I haven't even figured out how to download to my Mac. The Broderbund website is terrible, can't find correct information. No customer service, no telephone # that works. I am really frustrated. Thinking of returning product. My son will be really disappointed. I'd rather buy him paints.

You'll need this
The Xbox 360 charger only comes with 1 battery.If you play alot you're going to need an extra.There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a great game and your juice runs out.Get this extra battery!!

A must have!!!!!
I just got my 360, i bought a battery with charger for my first controller, then i bought a new one, so now i bought this, i have one charger allready.

You don't need this!
Why buy a rechargable battery pack, when you could just buy more veristal (and cheaper) rechargable batteries?The charger is sold separately, so it just doesn't make sense.

Price on this item is wrong
The price on this new DVD edition should be $9.95 not $29.95. That was the price of the old Editor's Choice edition.

Great Game but Difficult!!
I have always been a fan of UT.I played the original for years but never did 2003.I purchased UT 2004 maybe a month ago and played it a considerable bit.Its a great game!!Awesome graphics and great gameplay.My only complaint is with the difficulty settings:It is tough!Even on the default difficulty.I couldn't imagine playing it at harder settings.I would get slaughtered!!Otherwise, it is still incredibly fun and the new team management options adds a new twist to UT.

id Software actually has competition?
... well, I didn't think so before playing Unreal Tournament 2004. I had to get this particualr product for a class project. I'm using the level editor to make my own level. Yes, it is cool and relatively easy to do. However, it requires some fairly powerful hardware. The tutorials on the bonus disc are very informative and helpful.The game itself is a blast. I especially like the secondary function of the Link Gun. It vaporizes opponents like a soldier that had an unfortunate encounter with Martians in a '50's Sci-Fi movie. How cool is that?

This is the golf of NBA video games: frustrating and awarding
Smooth as silk fluid gameplay and animations are the stars of this show.Decent Next-gen graphics that cannot be fully appreciated unless on high-def.Those who say otherwise, must be kidding.There is no way the original Xbox or PS2 could handle such renderings. Renderings,animations, shooting and dribbling styles are practically personalized for every player.Each character looks remarkably like their real life counterparts (in a somewhat cartoon-like fashion) with a few scary exceptions mentioned in other reviews found here.It looks like a souped up arcade in the tone of graphics and powerful fluidness that plays strictly like a sim.And this is where the game falls on its face if you are coming off of Live.
Are you Kidding Me!!!!!
Come on people. Seriously, this game sucks, for numerous reasons!
Great B-Ball Game

fun time
I like Lego Star Wars, and don't think the game is aimed toward children either.My only complaint is that we're already beginning to get flooded with too many Lego Star Wars games and I'm not going to sit around and put up with it.Actually, I can't do anything about it but complain.Pick up ONE Lego Star Wars game and, for the love of God, move on to something completely different and pretend that NO MORE than just ONE Lego Star Wars game exists.That way you won't go crazy when you see just how many DO exist.

Brilliant, even in comparison to Tomb Raider, Tenchu, and Metal Gear
This game is really perfect.It's complicated enough to keep your brain active, without endless, mindless fighting as in Kingdom Hearts--which my wife loves, but I only see as one unending battle scene and inappropriate for the children it's aimed at.
Great Game
It's a lot of fun, however, the original trilogy is going to be much better. But, I recommend both. Another Star Wars game I recommend is Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2. I have both, and they rock! But, this of course is great. I have lots of Star Wars games, but this ranks top five. ... Read more

So Stupid!
Now, before you say anything, I have played this game and beaten it in the week provided by blockbuster(grudgingly playing it though)and now for the unbaiased opinion. I think that this game is so completely stupid. It and the sequel are retarded but again its my opinion.

One of the Best Games Ever
I unlike a lot of other people did not buy this game when it first came out.My initial thought was what was Squar thinking.I was thinking this could be nothing more than a childs game.It wasnt until I talked to a number of other people, right before KH2 came out did i finaly listen to all those people and spend the $20 to get the game, (as was the price of the game by then,) and low and behold, by the time I finished watching just the opening scene I was hooked.I played that game for what seemed like hours on in, (it was really only a very long weekend.) But that game became so addicting I immediatly went out and bought the second one the day it came out.The story line was on par with that of Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy VII, my two favorit games in the world. I would recomend this game to anyone with even the slightes bit of imagination.If you can even dare to dream you will instantly love this game as I did.It was well worth the price, and my only regret is that i did not buy it sooner.

Toss up
Fighting- the combat isn't as in depth as traditional gamers would expect since combat consists of dodging striking and magic. Still you may find yourself sweating when a fight gets really close.

the best pokemon yet
this is the best pokemon game yet at first I had doubts about this game but I found pokemon yellow and played this at my friends house and I couldn't believe how good this game was the graphics are great the poke mon are great too this is a must buy

The best Pokemon game to date
When Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out, I was very distraught to learn that some of my favorites from the original Game Boy generation, particularly Nidoking and Persian, were absent from them. Furthermore, since the Advance Generation employs a different system for Pokemon stats and is on vastly different hardware, I could not upload my power Pokemon from Crystal or Blue. And there were some things that annoyed me about Ruby/Sapphire, including the spineless rival and outlandish town concepts (Who builds a town atop trees or inside a crater?).
A tough but fun game
This game is pretty tough mainly because the elite four is hard.But once you beat them theyre are seven islands to explore including island 8 and 9 accesed only through the nintindo events.I gave this game overall 5*****s because the game althroughout kanto and the nine islands are very fun to explore and unlock mysteries.And I gave it 4****s on the funness level because the elite four gets on my nerves because the last battle is your rival and hes plane tough.But it has great graphics and the features like the teachy tv the vs seeker the berry pouchand also has the net ball the nest ball I think it also has the timer ball to.I also like the fact that it comes with a wirrless adapter.But this game can be described in one word and that is fun. ...

This is the best game ever!
This is a really fun, exiting game that you can play for years and not get bored of. Emerald is different than the other games. First, when you meet a wild or trainer pokemon, they do an animation. Like when you meet a wild Linoone, they swish their tail from side to side. And Aron jumps up. If you have beaten the Elite Four, you can trade with players from other reigons, like FireRed. This game is a good game to play on long, boring road trips or just at home relaxing. The only flaw is that it costs 30$!!!

This is a really fun game
I bought this game last month.This is my favorite game. You can trade pokemon with other versions with a gamelink. You need to be able to read to play the game. Buy this game!

Awesome game... no other way to put it.
Kingdom Hearts II is the long-awaited sequel to the 2002 Disney/Square collaboration Kingdom Hearts. Picking up the story where the former game--and the interim Game Boy Advance release, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories--left off, Kingdom Hearts II guides you through a series of Disney-themed worlds as you encounter a cast of characters that reads straight off the credits of some of the most popular Square games and Disney movies. Though the formula in KHII is quite familiar, much of the gameplay has changed, and it's safe to say that it's been for the better. Fans of the original game and of Disney/Square properties in general will fall in love with this game quite easily, though a few problems with the basic gameplay prevent Kingdom Hearts II from being whole-heartedly recommendable to everyone else.

Excelent! for a while...
I had The Sims 1 for a long time before I got this game, and I was looking forward to its release in Mac. I wasn't disappointed. This is a really fun game, with alot of new features. Unfortunately, like the old one, I became easily tired with it. The Sims 2 gets pretty repetative. It is still worth it, because if you get a new expansion pack every once in a while it makes it really fun again.
Slow on 1.5GHz w/ 1.25GbRam
I've got a 12'' PowerPC PowerBook with 1.5GHz cpu, 1.25Gb of ram, and 64mb graphic card. And the game is very choppy and laggy. This definitely detracts a lot from the game play.
Runs better on Mac
If you have a Mac, this game is worth getting.It has cool videos to go with special scenes which is a neat new feature.I find that it runs better on the Mac but that may be because I didn't have a very good PC.I've always been in to playing the Sims so if you like the Sims this is a good buy. ...

Not Nancy Drew's Best
I was very excited when I heard that the newest Nancy Drew PC game would take place in Paris and yet, it didn't live up to my expectiations.The running errands and chains of "if you do this for me then i'll give you..." that always appear in these games were more tedious than any before and took up most of the game.Beside that I had trouble understanding the plot, many elements of the game were not explained (like why one character had electrical engeneering books), and the motive of the criminal was too far fetched to believe.Combined with the fact that the Parisian setting was not used to it's full potential, Danger by Design is a sign that Herinteractive is running out of ideas.

Nancy Drew Rocks
Even though Nancy Drew does rock, this wasn't my favorite game by HerInteractive.I know it takes Herinteractive a lot of pressure and time to create these games.My feeling is that The Nancy Drew game series is starting to decline.All the Nancy Drew games I have played I would rate 5 stars.Danger by Design disapointed me due to lack of diolague and how many things did not add up.One example is the why did someone not explain why s/he had a certain book.Of course the graphics are AMAZING and the characters have their charm as always, and Nancy Drew is still the best.I just hope that Herinteractive does a better job on their next game "Creature of Kapa Cave."

An Awesome Fashion/Puzzle Game!
I think this game rocks! You should try the demo at herinteractive.com first because it is a perfect example of what the game is like. I loved it because I love fashion but even if you aren't a total fashion fanatic like me you'll still love the latest installment in the Nancy Drew PC game series. It is by far the best that I've played although I've only played 4 and 5 besides this one.

If you enjoyed the movie, you'll enjoy the game!
This game is all around great. The game basically allows you to move up the ranks in the Corleone family while playing through the movie script, then you get to destroy all the other families and ultimately take over New York City. Buyer Beware, this game is additive so take care of all other priorities before playing this one. Worth the sixty bucks!

One of the Rare Xbox360 games thats justifiably worth $60 dollars......
This game is awesome! The graphics, game play, storyline, and playability ranks among the best of the xbox360 games made - if not the best. This is a type of game you will get your money worth out of. The very first time I turned it on I played five hours straight. It is very addictive. One of the main things I ask myself before buying a game is how long will it take before I get bored of it. Most game I get bored of rather quickly. Taking into account XBox360 games cost $60 dollars this is very important. This is a type of game without a doubt I'll spend over a 100 hours playing.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is great! All of the controls are very easy and the graphics are great. I love how you can just mess around and rob banks and steal stuff while or instead of following the missons.

Top 3 PS2 game ever
This game is simply awesome. I received it for a gift last Christmas and I still love it. The graphics & action are amazing, it's not available on XBOX. If you don't already own this game you simply cannot go wrong w/ this masterpiece. You'll love it. The main character, Kratos, reminds me of Quan chi in Mortal Kombat. Looking forward to God of War 2 !

One of the best action games PERIOD.
You've read a lot of reviews to get to this one, most likely, and they've gone on about how great it looks (it does look tremendous), how fantastic the gameplay is (it is awe-inspiring), and how just absolutely great of a gaming experience it is. There are a few things that I would like to add. First off, there is one slight problem with the game. Personally, with action games of the 3rd-person variety, I like to be able to control the camera. This game does not have that. Instead, you are taken where the gamemakers want you to go and only what they want you to see. This is a very slight complaint, and one I'm hoping will be improved with GOD OF WAR II. The second thing that I would like to add is that the Mythological aspect of this game is GREAT! It really gives the game a very epic scale that is not found in a great many games. It's the thing that drives this game farther than it usually would. It's a tremendously entertaining, and oft-times thought-provoking, game that has a sense of gravitas that most action slice'em-dice'em games of this type get to. Get it!

From the video game widow's point of view...
My husband brought this game home and I thought, "Oh no, I guess we're not having multisyllable conversations for the next few weeks..." But to my surprise not only did he ABSOLUTELY love this game but I would sit next to him and watch, totally transfixed by the amazing detail and effort that the creators poured into this game. I caught myself saying, "Baby, aren't you going to play your game?" This game is incredible and while I am not at all a gamer I'm tempted to try it out! Everyone not shocked by gore (and I mean LOTS of gore) should play this game. Every game should be this well made.

Improvement over original SP
I bought this pink gameboy advance SP for my daughter, who loves pink. Her older brother, who normally would rather be caught dead than with something pink, actually traded gameboys with his sister because the "lighting and screen are so much better" on this version of the SP. It must be a heck of an improvement -- he doesn't even hesitate to carry it around in public despite the color!

Really great toy
My daughters are only ages 4 and 5 and they love their pink gameboys!I initially just bought one thinking they were too young to play them but we nearly immediately had to go out and buy another one because they both loved it so much.I am really impressed by the quality of the games and the number of games available for this age range.I also am not a big advocate of computer games over other activities, but there have been many times when the gameboy has been a terrific time filler for my kids on car rides and in waiting situations that have kept them busy, happy, and occupied.It's very sturdy and both of ours have been dropped a number of times with no damage at all.Also the batteries seem to last a very long time.I will admit to enjoying playing it myself!Gameboy has come along way from what I remembered it being. I would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful
I loved this product for my Granddaughter. It is easy for her to care for as a five year old. it is pretty and the games are great. I make sure to choose age-appropiate games and she has lots of fun. I had been worried that she might get "addicted" but no problems there either. She plays for awhile and laughs out loud at times whilst other times she cries out in frustration but good humoredly; then she puts it down and runs off to play healthy children's activities. It is just great as a wind-down time for her and it teaches her to try hard but to not always expect to win every game.

Easier than many alternatives
I was using a basic Linksys wireless game adapter with my 360, and it worked fine. However, it needed to be connected to a PC for firmware updates (making it impossible for Mac users), and was generally more difficult to set up than the "official" adapter from Microsoft.
network adaptor
i love having the wireless network adapter, but i was truely pissed when i saw it cost 99.99. Microsoft just trying to rip you off for something you basically have to own.

Preaching to the choir
Well, I must say after purchasing the Linksys WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adapter that while yes this adapter is overpriced, it does work and considering that I only got the Linksys adapter to work once and then it shut down in the middle of an update I must say the price looked worth it.

Disappointing...
A word of warning to those of you who use something other than a mouse+wheel as a controller:Apparently the ONLY way to perform in/out zoom in this game is with a mouse-wheel.
Easily the best of the series
I'll just say up-front that i've never played any of the previous railroad games, so I though I would give my opionin here for those of you who are new to the genre (like myself). I purchased it mainly on the Sid Meier/Firaxis name, having been a rabid Civilization fan most of my life.
You've disappointed me, Sid.
The rail system in this game stinks. Nothing like RailRoad Tycoon 1,2,or 3. Please make a patch were you can add/remove signals. Please make a patch where you can control signals.

Good first version
The game play is pretty good. The graphics are workable. It is a little too easy on the easy level. It does well accessing the Star Wars world.

Empire at War
The graphics leave a little to be desired, but overall the game is fun to play.My kids really get into the battles.

This game is fun, but still has severe bugs after 5 patches.
I love the graphics and gameplay in Star Wars, Empire at War.The space battles are geat and there is plenty of strategy.Beware, however, that this game has SEVERE bugs.It will crash randomly to the dektop, and freeze to make you restart your computer.You may not be able to complete the campaign because of the bugs and glitches.This already has 5 patches, but they only introduce new issues.BUT, this game is still worth it in my opinion, because it is so fun and strategic.You will have to make that decision for yourself. ...
