THIS VERSION WILL ONLY WORK FOR UK SERVERS. You'll have to order the item from amazon.com to be delivered to a friend in the US who can then either post it on to you or give you the activation code (you can download the expansion software from Blizzards own site).

Guitar Hero: World Tour - Band Bundle (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > 12 years and over
from: Activision

November 14, 2008
Mine arrived promptly, thanks Amazon!

The drums: feel great, easily adjustable in height, although the kick peddle takes some getting used to. The wii remote slots in the top, and the whole kit runs off it, there is no separate power source, so make sure your stocked up on AA battery's for your wii remotes. The drumsticks are wooden, and the build quality of all is excellent.

The guitar: heavier than the les Paul controller and slightly larger in size so wont fit in my guitar controller carry bag : -(. Build quality feels better than the les Paul controller though. Guitar runs off wii remote like drums and previous guitars. The whammy bar is much better, there's a star power button that you can much more easily hit ... Read More:

Quantum of Solace (Wii)

from: Activision

I've owned this game for three weeks now, and I have to say it's absolutely addictive. I've listed my scores for the headings numbered below and their reasons are also appropriately numbered further below.

1. Single player mode: 8.5/10
2. Controls: 9.5/10
3. Graphics: between 7.5-10/10 (On average 8.5/10)
4. Offline and online multiplayer 10 /10
5. Overall 10/10 (As it's SO MUCH fun! and there's loads to do!)

1. There is so much satisfaction from shooting down enemies from balcony tops, corners and even passing helicopters!! Shooting feels heavy and there are many weapons, although you can only hold a fixed number of them at any point in time. A great thing is the cover system. Whilst shooting, you ... Read More:

Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Xbox 360)

If like me you loved Midnight Club 3, you'll love this. The graphics are lovely, very crisp and clear. The music selection is good, music to suit different tastes (rock, reggae, hip hop, electro etc). You can create your own playlist which means you don't have to listen to the music you don't like. It also works with the force feedback wheel which is fun. I really like the `action' camera, it makes the driving experience feel more realistic and fun as it moves with the car rather than being static. You can choose the static camera if you prefer, or in the in car camera.

The game itself plays well. It's very fun. The sense of speed is great. As you dodge in and out of traffic. I don't find this game too hard. I started with a golf GTI 1983 which is a bit old and ... Read More:

Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > 12 years and over
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.

Well what can I say --I am one of the many who ordered before 14th Nov expecting to get a free bass guitar! Trying to get to Amazon and get any help has provided me with 2 hours frustration spent talking on the phone or typing emails to various Amazon addresses. They should be checked out under the Trades Description Act for False advertising - or is it the Guitar Hero site which provides the link with the free Bass Guitar advert that needs the criticism --whichever it is, I hope all other customers who have been disappointed get what they ordered or vouchers to compensate for the hassle we have to go through for our kids Christmas Presents!!
PS Worth hanging in there, as 12 hours later we have now been given a full refund for the missing Bass Guitar -thank you Amazon :)Guitar Hero: World ... Read More:

Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360)

I'm sure almost all people interested in this game have played a Bond game before, previously released by EA.
This time around there are no gadgets in the game whatsoever apart from an electronic door hacker, which you don't even get to see, and a mobile phone with objectives and messages on, there is no car driving in it either.

Activision have focused purely on stealth, the cover system, and gunplay, and made a pretty good job of it too, the weapons are top notch, they have a good feel to them, good sounds, and almost every gun in the game can have a silencer fitted, the cover system works really well most of the time, sometimes it can be a bit fiddly, but when you are behind cover you can't be hit, you can blindire over the top, or peek over quickly for a more accurate aim. The game litters ... Read More:
