Excellent game

Reviewed by my daughter age 8

Cooking mama is an great game I got this game for my birthday and I have been playing it for hours there is so many recipes you can make it is loads of great fun for all ages but I have to admit it dose get boring after you have been playing it for ages and it can be a bit annoying when it freezes so beware of that. So I think this is an excellent game so
I would recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic! Wii needed this game!

This is a fantastic game. The graphics are brilliant, the gameplay is quite smooth once you get used to it and the sports themselves are great. The commentry is funny and I will never get tired of hearing it. Just buy it!

Use with care

We got one of these, I left the wii on overnight to charge them up, it took longer than the 2 hours quoted by other users in reviews here. One of our remotes is now broken and won't work even with normal batteries, so not sure if this gadget is a good thing to get or not. The other remote is still fine, but we have to charge it up when the wii is on but not in use, which is not good use of energy, which was the whole point!
I don't think something should be for sale if it has the power to break your remotes!

Securom

I love the Sims and the Sims 2. I have every expansion pack available, however the last I cannot bring myself to purchase. Securom was added to the last pack (Bon Voyage) and I feel my computer was damaged by this the programme. I would love to buy Freetime but I do not want to damage it further. Type securom into a search engine and see the affects.

A good FPS, good multiplayer option, ok graphics.

I have been playing this now for a few weeks and am very pleased with it.
The campaign is ok, not too hard and easy enough for a casual gamer like me to get into.
The controls take a bit of getting used, but once you play it a bit you soon get used to it.
Multiplayer is enjoyable, my only gripe is I cannot seem to join games, and have to create my own every time. But once in a game its good fun.

So whilst it will not win any graphics awards its a good enjoyable game that seems to make good use of the Wii remote functionality.

Mortally wounded by Call of Duty 4

As a massive fan of the original R6 vegas (personally enjoying it far more that gears of war that was released at a similar time) I anxiously waited for the sequel, and not put off by the distinctly average reviews, bought it. The game remains fun and is a slight improvement over the first installment - better graphics, slightly better enemy AI and gameplay.

That by itself, is not overly problematic, although does make me question how much such a slight improvement is worth in hard cash. The real problem however is that Call of Duty 4 has raised the bar so much, R6 now seems dated. Both the single player and definitely the multiplayer suffer in comparison. While R6 is a squad based tactical shooter, compared to COD's more traditional first person shooter dynamics, COD actually offers so much flexibility in its level design and gameplay, this distinction doesn't really (in my mind) excuse R6V2's failings.

In my mind, if you only buy one shooter on the 360, at the moment (May 08), COD4 still reigns supreme. If you loved The first R6 Vegas game, and already have Cod4, then R6V2 is worth playing, but wait until the price drops.

warning!

To start...yes this game is brilliant. it is a masterpiece of online rpg and there is no better game out there. The graphics are something special when you realise this game is only for online playing. the gameplay is masterful, and the increasing diffculty level is perfect, if almost a little low. Towards the end the game can get quite easy (having mastered all the controls for your character) to play yet tedious to get all equipment that you want!

Having said that, i warn people of the effect this game has. It is one of the most addictive games i have ever played and does tend to take up alot of your time if you are not careful. I got the game in jan 06, and have only recently uninstalled it, not because it got boring, but because it got in the way of my studies and my friends!!!!!

in the end this game may end up being a your life instead of simply a game, and there are so many hardcore gamers on the game itself. Enjoy, but be careful!

Disappointing!

As a fan of both Guitar Hero 3 (GH3) and Aerosmith I was looking forward to the release of this game with some excitement.

Fans of GH3 won't be surprised by the look and feel of the game; as you might expect it's little more than GH3 with different songs and tweaked graphics.

The first surprise came when I started working through the Easy career mode. It feels like they've taken Easy from GH3 and dumbed it down, making it even easier. Less notes, feels slower, less interesting to play. It seems far easier to score 100% on songs.

The second was when I realised how few songs the game contained - approximately 30 fewer than GH3. With such a large catalogue of material to draw from it's a shame that there are so few songs in the game.

After having played GH3 and eagerly anticipated this follow-up my overall feeling is disappointment. This game could have been an amazing Aerosmith-fest, packed full of great songs.

With no downloadable content on the Wii there's no way that this deficit can be reduced.

GH3 is a 5-star game. Guitar Hero Arosmith is not.

Make sure your computer is able to play this game

I was unable to play this game because after one an a half hours of installing the game it told me that my computer could not play the game because it did not have a 1.1 pixel shader. I have found that there are suprisingly few computers which have this and to get it you will have to buy a graphics card which has this. Before you buy this game make sure that your computer has a graphics card with 1.1 pixel shader

Much Cheaper

This is a much cheaper memory card, with lots of memory space on it!
Fantastic: This one held data for 25 high quality games!

Good fun but spoiled by ........

........ the tedious boss battles in the one player career mode . I've spent hours and hours just trying to beat Slash on the medium level and it's just become annoying now - I can't really see people playing this after Rock Band gets released - but there's still fun to be had here with multiplayer and plenty of downloadable songs .

Great fun

Would highly recommend.

At first seemed so, so, but stick at it. Once you reach the higher levels, it becomes fun and intense. Amazing way to loose weight also, far more than wii fit or any other game I have played.

great fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this game is not only fun but it trains you!! it is very addictive and fun. this is another one of my fave games! the music can sometimes get a bit annoying but apart from that it is great. there is a file for practising and a test. there are 4 files for different people. buy this!

just felt really stupid

there was no fun and really bad voice overs the game felt stupid if you know what i mean. i wouldn't bother! you'll force yourself to like it.......then you'll give up and sell it on amazon!!! its not good

Sims 2 kitchen and bathroom

The items on this stuff pack are brilliant, especially if you're the type of player that loves the building and furnishing side of the sims2. But i have to agree with the previous comments about how there's just not enough stuff for the amount you pay. The items are gorgous, and really the kinda ideal things you would put in your dream house. But for £8 - half the price of an expansion pack - i don't thing it's really worth it. Free custom objects, clothes & hair styles, houses, and sims are available off the internet - but in my opinion they sometimes mess up your computer & sims2.
Hope this helped.

Excellecent- Warning Buy in UK only...

Much has been written about this so for a game play point for View there's nothing I can add.

However be WARNED, many people have been buying games from .de & .fr without problems examples: Wii fit,Mario Kart, Links Cross Bow Training etc- These game are in 5 languages inc English so will work on your UK console in English.

LEGO Star wars by Activision :is not- IN France it is sold in French only, IN Germany -German only, so unless you want to play in either of these 2 languages don't buy from .de & .fr other wise you will disappointed.

.de & .fr sell many things that can be used in English on the wii- if there are other games, then check first, as Both sites have help(Aide:fr), (Hilfe-:de)-(found on their site at bottom of page under other country names), in English and .de will answer any question's in English

I live in France and had to buy from another well know UK high street games shop(omline) , that agreed to send it to me in France. I do play french games, but this I wanted in English.

Hope this is off use ,as .de does have stock & Uk is out- and I would not want anyone to assume that because many people are currently buying other games from those sites that this 1 would have worked in English- as sadly it does not- Unless you buy from UK.

P.S You can always use Topic forum on uk site to ask, as it only will takes a few minutes for some to check whether there games is a 5 a language one, or like me posted a topic on .de- as posters are very helpful (and I even wrote Post in English- got an excellent/fast response from a German Guy).

Great game, suspect package??

1stly let me say. This is not just and Amazon issue, all sites appear to use the same ad discription.

The extra levels are NOT INCLUDED on disk. You have to download them. In the pack you get a code, which you enter on a web site. You then recieve a"redeem" code for Xbox Live. Enter this code and then down load.

Why is this an issue? I bought the GOTY version based on all the adverts and thinking the levels were on disk. Had I known prior to purchase they were not, I would have bought second hand and then bought the levels thus saving around £5. But more importantly, I would have made a reasoned decision based on the info given.

Remember, if you download you can't sell on. You can't recover your investment. So the GOTY version will not have the equivalent value had it included the levels on disk. Wanna see a GOTY of real value check out Oblivion GOTY, all Extra levels including Downloads on disk.

As I said not just an issue for Amazon but for all UK based advertising.

And Qudos to Amazon for allowing buyers to give this info in the reviews. Game and Play delete these reviews (to prevent lost sales?)

wii wheel

i thought i was buying an offical wheel,dissapointed can get a nitendo one in argos for £6.99.cheap rubbish

Okami!!

I wasn't sure... the reviews were too good...surely?

I took the plunge, and what a fantastic, immersive and beautiful game this is! It's huge! The graphics are delicious! The storyline, wonderful!

This is a brilliant adventure game - full of humour, platforming, visual feasts and ultimately, a total time losing smorgasbord of wonderment!

I know, I'm just adding to the hype that I fell for, however, on this occasion, it's justified. The combat is simple to pick up and the added celestial brush techniques (which are absolutely vital to progress) are a joy. They do take a few attempts at first...but don't all new games? Practice is the key, and the thrill of being able to combo / power strike / cherry bomb an enemy whilst slicing a demon fang from their matrix style slow motion death is well worth the effort.

Buy this game - it's a real joy and will keep you playing for a very, very long time. I've been playing it for 10 hours solid and I've barely scratched the surface... Money well spent! Added bonus? The mythology.

Well done to ready at dawn for such a great conversion / re-vamp. I'll certainly be checking out any further output.
