Sonic the Hedgehog (Xbox 360)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Childrens PC and Video Games
from: Sega

November 24, 2006
I bought Sonic hoping for a modern platform game for the family.

We lasted an hour and a half before giving up with the game.
Totally disappointed.

Buggy camera, found we could end up going through solid objects, nothing to strive for. Obviously not designed by the same people who made Sonic for the Sega (bless its cotton socks).
No challenge or anything to strive for. The game obviously didn't have a director to make sure it had a plot and direction. I've seen cheesy teen movies that had better plots!

If you're hell bent on buying this game, go rent it first before buying... That's my advice.

Mario Kart Advance: Super Circuit

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Childrens PC and Video Games
from: Nintendo

September 14, 2001
I've always thought their are 2 types of Gameboy game; the travelling type, and the 'home' type. Luckily, Mario Kart Advance is perfectly suited for the gamer on the move with it's fast paced racing, excellent longtivity, and impressive graphics. It makes the most out of the GBA processor with lovely 3-D 32bit graphics, which suited me fine, as I remember the original SNES version of Mario Kart being very cartoony.

A must if you own a GBA, and even more essential if you're a short journey player, like me!

Officially Licensed Mario DS Lite Black Carry Case (Nintendo DS)

from: 4Gamers

The cover provides thick protective padding for the DS, and that's all the good I can say about it. The insides has a plastic holder that you slip the DS into, so that in theory you should be able to play games with the DS in the case. The cover doesn't quite match up with the buttons, but the worst part is that it is absolutely impossible to get the stylus out without removing the DS from the case, which leads to the case going back in my purse while I play. It's nice looking, but for gaming on the go it's not very good.

Star Wars Battlefront II (PSP)

from: Activision

November 04, 2005
Ive only just bought a psp and after reading the reviews for this game
on amazon, Most people put it in quite a positive light and make it seem
like one of the better games available for the psp.

Now firstly I must admit the psp has got to have the worst collection of
games for any handheld console, with only a few worth playing on an extended
basis.

And I have tried to give battlefront a chance by playing it on an off for
a few weeks now but it really is just not worth it.....WHY!! I hear you
exclaim.....well.

Firstly the control setup that you start off with it is stupidly laid out,
you really have no chance of playing it at all on the standard setup, but
even when you ... Read More:

February 22, 2008
Im gonna keep this short and sweet after playing the first game i knew the second one would be a great and i must say it hasn't disappointed me the graphics are very good the game play is very good and the best new part is the gravity control makes the game so much better and its also fun because you can change gears during a race. its very gd game but i cant give it 5 overal because it can be quite frustrating sometimes and playing with the wii remote is quite hard and will make u wanna use a game cube controller but overall visuals 4 game play 5 life expectancy 5 once you've finished the single player you will love playing against ur mates in multi player. and sorry that wasn't short. this is my first review so soz if its bad.

Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Childrens PC and Video Games
from: Sierra

October 11, 2002
A nice next-gen (well, last gen by now, but never mind) update of the classic Crash Bandicoot series. This instalment is more of the same - cute, brightly coloured, harmless platforming fun. You can pick this game up very cheaply nowadays, and you can't really go wrong.

Pros: Fun for both children and adults, good graphics, large variety of levels.

Cons: Dodgy voice acting (though it is a cartoon I suppose), long loading times.

Sonic Rush (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Childrens PC and Video Games

November 18, 2005
on the cover of the game i have it says '92% the best sonic game ever'
A COMPLETE LIE!!!
as im sure a lot of you know as soon as sonic entered 3D the friendly blue hedgehog went (sadly) downhill but when i saw this game i thought yes finally a sonic game that looks great and is in 2D. i was wrong :(

ok so the game does have good sides for instance it's just as fast paced as the origanal sonic that we all know and love and you can play as blaze the cat (ok so not really a reason to buy the game but a nice touch). the bosses are good as well but the entire game lacks that spark that all the other games had.

the game doesnt have a lot of gameplay in it either compared to some of the mario games on the market (new super mario brothers for ... Read More:

This game was good at first but I clicked on something and I lost my best mini-game. I only had 1 more game left and I cried all night. DO NOT GET IT.
I had to give it back. RUBBISH!

Super Mario Sunshine

from: Nintendo

October 04, 2002
I bought this game to play on the Wii after having played Super Mario Galaxy to the bone and getting all 121 stars, which were indeed difficult and stressful to get but not at all compared to Super Mario Sunshine.

The game seems rushed and not well-finished at all. Surely Mario does look much better than the precarious Super Mario 64 design but the game looks like a testing beta version of itself. The graphics aren't great, the music is... just there, and the gameplay ranges from funnily easy to insanely difficult. Plus the cameras are almost manual and only turn by themselves when you're in tight situations, usually making you die.

Okay, lots of people like difficult stuff - as I do - but the difficulty of Mario Sunshine is gratuitously difficult. ... Read More:
