Football Manager 2009 (PC)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

November 14, 2008
I bought this game with quite moderate expectations and it didnt even meet those. The 3-d engine is a good addition...well if you have a high performing computer and its still slow then and gets frustrating.

The installation is a joke and when you do install it I had to download a graphics patch to run it! When it is finally loaded (after a few hours) not much has changed from 2008. Its almost identical!

Should be sold as an add on like they used to for £15. I took mine back. Poor.

Samba De Amigo (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

September 26, 2008
Samba De Amigo is, undoubtedly, one of the best motion games I've played on the Wii so far. The basic idea is, as in many games like this, moving and shaking the Wii remote(s) in a specific way to "play" along with the music. Great music and fun visuals make it a really enjoyable experience. However, if you only read the instructions and the in-game tutorials, the controls are, indeed, very frustrating. It only gives you a basic idea, and the controls in many ways are not intuitive.

The problem is the standard Wii remote (and nunchuk) only has a single 3-axis motion sensor in it, thus there were always going to be compromises on how accurate the controls could be. Selecting the top, middle and bottom circles is quite easy - you hold the ... Read More:

Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

March 02, 2007
Sonic at the Secret rings is ultimately a fun experience depending on how you approach it. If you've never liked Sonic games then the chances are that this wont really change your mind. Its the first on-rails Sonic game, and actually is a lot of fun, and boost the Wii graphics with some great artistic backrounds. The only faults however is its camera which can be horrible at times, and the controls. The camera is great when your going forward but as soon as you go backwards, its a different story. You are ultimately going backwards blind folded, as the camera is always behind you, not in front. The controls can get VERY frustrating at times, especially when you try and go back or stop. Sonic is moving all the time, and its hard to do exactly what you want at points.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

February 08, 2008
As the menu comes up, you get to choose what olympic game you'd like to play eg- Fencing, Running, Long Jump and many more. Firstly, it'll tell you how to play and them and you simply play them. You get to pick the character you want and each one will have a different amount of eg- Strength.
Overall it is a very good game and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the other Mario games.

Football Manager 2009 (PSP)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

November 14, 2008
After reading about all the grief with the PC version, it makes a nice change just to drop this in the PSP slot and away you go. Ok, what's changed since 08? Firstly the 2D match engine, to be honest this does seem a bit 'so what'? and could quite easily do without, at times it is very slow, even on 'very fast' speed setting, but once you are into the game you hardly notice this, although frustratingly there isn't an option to switch the match engine off for some strange reason (2010 version perhaps?) and annoyingly whenever you switch to player ratings screen or any other of the options while the 2D match is active the game pauses, a minor annoyance, but surely one that could and should have been ironed out during testing. The new skin is much improved over the previous version (which ... Read More:

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

September 26, 2008
Everything about sonic chronicles hints about it being like the start of a series of books, but if that's the case then Bioware need to pull their socks up next time around. Other reviews have covered the story aspect so I shall cover the gameplay and graphics in more depth. Considering the DS hardware the 3D graphics in the game are pretty well done and for the most part the backgrounds consist of talented artwork as well as even a few cutscenes in the game.

Despite this however the game gives the impression multiple artists worked on the game, in the game menus the characters have more of a modern sonic look while the cutscenes on the other hand hark back to the 2D games more cute look of the characters, not to mention these scenes normally play out more like animated comic ...

Sonic Unleashed (Wii)

I have had the chance to see this game in action before it is released - and boy does it look great. I never have been that fond of sonic games, but this game has changed my views completely. My eyes were glued to the screen.

I will say no more.
Get this game. You won't me disapointed.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > SEGA
from: Sega

December 08, 2006
I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter, when she first tried to play it she found it dificult to control and I thought that she wouldn't want to play it again. How wrong I was, this has become her favourite Wii game and can keep her amused for hours and me too! It's great to have a game that we can play together and enjoy, we find ourselves shouting or laughing when we fall off a ledge, moving bridge, mushroom or whatever we are trying to move over. Other reviewers have commented that it's rather childish, but it is for ages 7 and up - so if you want a more 'grown up' game, then pick something else, there's a large selection! The controls do take a bit of getting used to but once you do, it's great fun. You have the choice of playing the main game or one of the 50 party games. I notice that another ... Read More:
