Formula One 2006 (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Sony

January 12, 2007
After the start of the 2008 Formula One season, i felt a need to find this game of my shelf and stick it back in the old PS2.

I immediately started a new career, on hard difficulty, and got myself a first driver slot at Torro Rosso.

So I head to Bahrain, and manage to find a perfect set up for the car, and qualify first in Q1, Q2. So heading into Q3, i choose my strategy (doing half race distance), and i choose to stop just shy of half distance. I trhought that i could maybe sneak it on to the front 2/3 rows. Oh no, despite choosing, 14 laps of fuel, it decides to give me 26, so i become ridiculously slow.

I then get to the race, and i am first by the second corner after starting 10th, yes thats really ... Read More:

Athens 2004

We have had hours of fun with this game. And we do not find it boring after some time. We change our nation every time, just to see the weightlifters. A good laugh every time. I have found the solution to the button-bashing. I use a teaspoon, rather than my nails. You can get pretty good speed by running the spoon over the X and O buttons. It also makes it easyer to breathe while swimming. Only the horse-jumping and the hurdles are quite tricky. But you can still get on the podium even if you fail in those events. All and all a good game with pretty good graphics. Only the danish commentator is a bit of a plum!!!

SingStar '90s - Solus (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Sony

August 03, 2007
i was shocked and excited when i found out there was a new singstar game coming out. when i read the tracklisting i thought great, some good songs but theres some of them i've never heard of. you'd think with all the acts - such as take that, boyzone, a1 and others they'd be on here than the less heard of ones. also, the artists i've heard of such as savage garden, they'd put one of their famous songs on it that you all know (such as to the moon and back/truly madly deeply). overall i'm getting it and you never know i might like the unknown artists on it.

Ratchet & Clank 2: Locked & Loaded (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Sony

November 21, 2003
I read the reviews on this game, I bought this game, and for some reason I just didn't enjoy it. I can see why people like this game but for me it's certainly no Crash Bandicoot and I found it a waste of money. Not as good as the competition, granted it has very good graphics, but this could have been a lot better. A disappointment.

Final Fantasy X (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Sony

May 02, 2003
I've had final fantasy X a fair few years now, I have a next gen console and have played a hell of alot of RPGs. To this day I can honestly say, final fantasy X is the greatest game I have ever played.

I could ramble on for pages as to the specific reasons I adore this game, but I think the focus of a game like this is its narrative. This is why I named this review, 'beautiful', not for some corny over the top way of expressing how much I enjoyed it, bit because there is no other way to explain the story. It's astoundingly written and is by far the most emotional I have ever experienced, and thats including ff7s death of Aeris, which I think pales in comparison to the love story here.

Even if your not a romantic, i'm not, somehow ... Read More:

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Rockstar

March 09, 2007
Believe it or not, there was a time when full free-to-roam 3D worlds were just a gamer's pipedream. Oh sure, we'd had some pretty impressive action adventures in three dimensions - Metal Gear Solid and Soul Reaver come to mind - and even some truly memorable settings, from Hyrule in Nintendo's magnum opus Ocarina of Time to the then standard-setting streets of Sega's Shenmue... but these were all fantastical, story driven fictions, not the go-anywhere, do-anything sandbox offering many had craved.

And then it happened: GTA III. And since then gaming's never been the same; we've had a host of imitators, from your True Crimes to movie licenses like the Godfather and Scarface, and even the barmy-as-a-bright-blue-banana Just Cause, but GTA, in all its guises, ... Read More:

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Party Edition (includes Buzz! Buzzers) (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Eidos

November 24, 2006
This is adequately enjoyable take on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", however, it is basically the old playstation game but with more character, more colour and of course Buzz! buzzers.

This will keep you entertained for quite a while particularly if there are three or more people playing competetively but the games are all very similar and the questions quite hard. Often when all the players are unwilling to buzz in and get the question wrong, they all end up sitting and waiting for the time to run out which as you can imagine gets very tedious.

The characters are amusing for a while but you will quickly find their stereotypical catchphrases getting on your nerves and will most likely begin playing with the sound off.

Overall, this ... Read More:

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Electronic Arts

November 14, 2003
This is a briliant game and it is the best of the three lord of the rings games. It is very faithful to the movie but it is not so faithful that you feel you've seen it all before in the movie.

The game has great graphics, great levels and great battles. My only complaint is that even though each level is in a different setting it always feels like your doing pretty much the same thing in every level.

I still highly reccomend this game and think any lord of the rings fan or action game fan should buy it.

Spider-Man 3 (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles

May 04, 2007
OK lets get things straight. Spidey 3 is not a bad game, it is, in fact, great fun. The additional villains, like Kraven and Lizard, are great competition and wearing the strong and awesome black suit is fantastic.

New York is less enjoyable than SM2 (no times square and no death after jumping off empire state) but the missions are great despite their shortness.

i just wish you could play as new goblin.

i say buy the game if u like the films and fun.

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Consoles
from: Activision

May 05, 2005
Well the graphics are great, gameplay is wicked the levels are very good but it's just too short. This is alot better then other movie games, there are some awesome parts about this game which are the jedi duels(also in co-operative) which is fun, the storyline is great the levels are great boss battles are great. My ONLY problem is that they could've made longer or at least have more things too unlock or make it harder. Overall a great game it would be better for a rent for a week. Buy if you're a star wars fan and love gaming. The Lord Of the Rings game is miles better.
