An Entertaining and Engrossing RPG
If you've played the first Fire Emblem, then you already know that this is a must have.But it doesn't matter if you're new, because the stories are unrelated.

The story is good, but a little cliched.There once was an evil monster who terrorized the world, but then he was sealed up by the Sacred Stone.Fast forward to the present.There are six kingdoms, five of which keep the Sacred Stones.The country of Renais has shared a friendly relationship with the Grado empire, until one day Grado invades.The prince and princess of Renais, Ephraim and Eirika, go looking for help from other nations, and eventually find out that the Grado emporer is trying to destroy the Sacred Stones and release the evil of old upon the world.So of course, they have to stop him.

Now on to the gameplay.It's excellent.It's pretty much the same as the first Fire Emblem.You direct your units on the field, but you have to be careful of the enemy's range.The weapon and magic triangles return, which, if you're not familiar with it, is like a game of rock-paper-scissors.You can upgrade your characters' classes when they get to a high enough level, as in the last game, but now you can choose between classes.For example, a myridian can become a swordmaster or an assassin.Also, if your characters are too weak, there are optional battles with monsters, and places where you defeat monsters floor by floor.

Graphics are good overall.The field animations are average, but the battle scenes are nice and fluid.All the characters look beautiful.No pretty cutscene stills this time around, though.

And the characters are wonderful.This is my favorite thing about Fire Emblem.Each unit is an individual with his own face and personality.Then you have supports.When you put two compatible units together for a while, they can have a support conversation.Through this you learn a little more about the characters, but it also improves their stats when they are near each other on the field.Even more interesting, if you have a high enough support between a male and female character, they'll probably get married in the end.There is, however, a down side to the characters' individuality.It makes it so you don't want to lose any of them, so every time someone dies, you have to start the chapter over.Unless you just want to beat the game and aren't concerned about the characters.

Let's see, what else?Oh yeah, sound is great.The music is good, and appropriate for whatever the situation is.And the sound effects are nice, especially the one for a successful hit.THWACK!

The replay value is good.Ephraim and Eirika split up during the game, and you'll need to play both scenarios to get the full story.Plus if you're like me, you will want every single support conversation for the archive, which takes a very long time.

Nice extras.There's a sound room, and after you beat the game you can view the support conversations you've unlocked.There are also multiplayer options.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is one of my favorite games.It is excellent, and although it is somewhat easier than the last game, it's still hard.A must for RPG fans, but be ready for a challenge.

Warning!
Do not buy this trampoline. I got it for my 12th birthday. I thought that the bands would go just as high as the springs, but they did not come close. It was really fun at first, but then it started breaking down, and I only weigh 100 lbs. The welded metal that holds the legs to the trampoline breaks, and you have to buy replacements at Variflex.com for ridiculous prices. Also the parts take about two months to come. Do not buy this product. I recommend a Jumpking.

Buy the kinds with springs!
This one lost is bounce within the first year. By the way, my children weigh a combined total of 120 lbs. After calling, emailing, and writing, I have found that there are no replacement parts for it (unlike the kind with the springs). I think that $563.00 (by the time I bought the cover and the enclosure) is too much to spend for one year of use. I know find myself looking to buy a whole new trampoline. Disappointed

need new one
I would say a spring one is much better... I think most people who have this don't really use spring ones alot. If you have tryed both go with what you like better. If you haven't tryed both go with spring. for all who are worried that straps are safer, just get a larger spring cover than needed, like the jumpking one. I always take springs over strap. Many kids like me prefer doing flips, spring is safer for flips because you get higher, which makes them easier to do. With a low height, you would have a better chance of messing up. I am a diver, so i have good control in the air, but many kids dont, so i recommend a jump guard. You dont buy a trampoline for safety though, you buy the one with the best bounce. more bounce means more fun so just get the highest bouncing one. i hope this helped you're decision.

Great for the elders and the youngsters!!!
I love it baby! :-) It is good for my grandma. She hurt her quad. For theripy they told her to jump. She jump on my trampoline and her boo boo got better!!! I sing in the shower as I watch my kids jump off the trampoline! I see them through a window in my shower! I enjoy watching my kids jump!!
Thank You Variflex!! You rowdy howdy folks are an apple flavored Life Saver. Apple is my favorite flavor

NOT THAT GREAT!
IT ISN'T VERY BOUNCY AS THE ONES WITH SPRINGS. CAN'T GET ENOUGH AIR. AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE GOING INTO YOUR 2ND YEAR BECAUSE THE PAD AROUND IT DETIRIERATES, AND YOU CANT BUY A NEW ONE BECAUSE THEY'VE SEWN IT ON SO, BASICLY YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW TRAMPOLINE. THAT CAN GET EXPENSIVE. ... Read more

Great Fun At A Great Price!
This scooter is a ton of fun to ride on. Give it to any of your loved ones and they'll be outside before you can say "Razor"! The scooter is extremely durable. The only thing that will ever need replacement are the wheels.

The scooter folds up for easy storage if space is tight. It can be easily unfolded for people on the move. I can imagine this being a useful tool for folks who live in the city.

The best part about the scooter is the price! (...). Instead of the video game they've been begging for, buy them this.

Great Fun!
I purchased this scooter for my daughter and she really enjoys riding it. My son also likes it as well. It's a smooth ride with crisp turns, and does a good job improving eye and hand coordination.

SON LOVES IT!!
My 7 year old loves his scooter. Can not go anywhere without it. Very durable as I can also ride it. Handle bars adjust to your size. Can't get my son to ride his bike (what happened to bikes). Everybody seems to have scooters in my neighborhood. I only have one complaint. I wish they would make the foot bar alittle longer you can accidently hit the brake bar.

Our grandson loves this scooter
This scooter is wonderful! Our grandson (2yrs old) had a lighter one to begin with, but he has learned more with this heavier one. And what we really like about it is that it grows with him. He will use it for a very long time.

SCOOTERIFIC!!!
WOW! This Scooter RULES!!!! I am 46 Years old and when i ride to work in the morning this scooter rides over potholes with ease!! I JUST LOVE THIS SCOOTER. I would highly recommend getting the light-up wheels if you will be "driving" at night. One time i almost got nailed by a horse-drawn carriage, but luckily my light-up wheels scared the begeebeez out of the horse and SAVED MY LIFE!! PLUS THEY LOOK REALLY SCHWEET! (not to mention they are SUPER with the ladies).
My only complaint concerns the durability of the product. If you ride like I ride, which is hard an awesome (on the weekends i take it offroad), you might enconter some problems. NAMELY THE WHEELS FALLING OFF. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Scene It? The DVD Movie Game is for the film buff what a double-fudge brownie sundae is for the chocoholic. Players take turns moving around the game board and answering challenges, which usually take the form of trivia questions--about movies, of course. Questions are culled from either a box of cards, much like Trivial Pursuit, or from onscreen prompts that follow movie clips. The included DVD is loaded with snippets from recent movies, although the occasional classic sneaks in too. Multiple questions are asked about each clip--identify the title of the movie, name actors in the scene, recall some minor detail--so that even when the clips begin to repeat, it will take some time before questions do too. (Subsequent DVDs are also said to be in the works.) The game board, which looks like a cross between an accordion and a film reel, can be folded out to accommodate longer games or closed up for shorter ones. Scene It? was definitely built to be a party game, and another advantage of the DVD is that there’s no need to explain the rules. Instead, just press play and hope that everyone simmers down enough to pay attention. Plus, the hokey music and neon "You Are a Winner" screen that ends the game is certain to send those individuals who like winning a bit too much--and you know who you are--into an absolute frenzy. --David Morel ...

A lot of fun even if you don't play with the board
I got this for my husband as a gift and we enjoyed just answering the questions from the DVD, by watching video clips and picture clips, etc. It's like Jeopardy meets Wheel of Fortune with pop culture questions and numerous other variety of trivia and visuals to aid the questions (there are some nifty animated clues). We were quite impressed and our friends sat and played this with us for 2 hours and wanted to keep going. Having a portion of the game on DVD brings a different dimension to the regular board game where you're just reading off cards (there's that in the game, also, so the game is part video and part questions from cards).

PERFECT PARTY GAME!!!
I bought this one night when me and a bunch of friends were bored..next thing i know all of us are screaming because the clips are such of old movies and new ones. me and the girls were laughing at the guys because they were the ones who thought it would be a waste of money and they were loving it!!!! so pick up the game!!!!

Scenetastic
I played this game with four buddies last night and thought it was sweet!!!!!
The variety, quality, and ease of use was awesome!!!
Buy it!
Now!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO GO GO!!!!

Fun movie game for amateurs and connossieurs alike!
Some friends and I played this game one night, and we all had a blast. The game took awhile, about 2 hours with 4 of us, but it was a lot of fun. The same friends played the game about 2 weeks later, and we thought we'd know the questions and do better, but that wasn't the case - they use the same clips sometimes, but the questions are different.. they're either really really hard or really really easy.. I liked the variety of the movies, too. Pick this up - you won't be sorry!

Lots of fun!
I played this at a friend's house last night. I thought the question variety was pretty good. If you have a group of people with varying amounts of movie knowledge, this is a great game because there is a good balance of easy, medium & hard questions.

Personally though, I thought most of questions were really easy - but there were a few that really stumped me and I'm a UCLA film student!!! ... Read more

Dance Dance Revolution
What DDR Is
DDR is a very active video game. You do not sit around with a controller tapping buttons with your fingers, however, you stand up, jumping like crazy and steping on arrows with your feet. It is very entertaining, and good exersise too. You need a special dance mat to play correctly. Once you pick a song you wish to play, moving arrows come up on your screen. Once the arrow corrosponds with the stationary arrow, you simply step on the same directional arrow on the dance mat. That is basicly what you do in DDR to complete songs. Completing songs will unlock new songs for you to play and master.

My Opinions and Advise
I've played DDR, DDR Konamix, DDRMAX, DDRMAX2, and in arcades, DDR Extreme. In my opinion, I think DDRMAX is the best out of all of them. Its improved since konamix. It's got a great song selection, and even quite a few american songs. Anybody who is wondering which DDR to buy, you should definatly go with DDRMAX. DDRMAX2, however, was a little disappointing to me. It does not have a very great song selection (unless you like the 80's), and was not a big step from DDRMAX, (they're very similair).

The Max RULEZ
This game is a great gift for kids, it is excersise, fun, and more fun. There are a few different modes like the work-out mode which lets you do unlimited songs and tells you how many calories you lose and stuff, game mode: unlock songs,people, and levels. There is an edit mode to create your own dance steps! There are many other modes but I can't talk about them because I'll ramble on about how fun they are. I consider DDR one of the best games on the face of this Earth. If your a parent I would get this for your son or daughter. If you are a child I would beg your parents for it until they want to strangle you then I would suggest running away before it actually happens! If your a newbie I would stay away from MaxUNLIMTED because like you gotta be a saint to do it perfectly on Expert or even Light (Easy). Another hard song is End of the century, it is no where near as hard as maxUNLIMITED though. You'll probably be able to End of the century within a week or so of getting it. I want you to be a DDR FREAK too. (I'm so big on it I lose over 1,000 calories per day on it!) Anyway I am rambling on like I tried not to do so I'm gonna shut up and let you buy this awesomely awesome game (Remind me not to say awesomely awesome again) so buy it now. You're still reading this aren't you...... GO BUY IT NOW (LoL Just kidding) But I would buy it. Hey wait why are you still reading this? GAAAAHHHHHH

DDR makes you bootilicious !
DDRMax2 is the hot new way to exercise. Because it's so much fun!
First a simple overview. DDRMax2:Dance,Dance Revolution is a Playstation game where music is played on your TV screen. Arrows move across the screen. The player dances on a dance pad and attempts to move their feet to match the direction of the arrows. The better you do the more points you rack up. Sounds simple but it can be tough depending on the difficulty level you choose.
While the music is playing (and there are a number of songs to select from or let the game select for you) the background will change. Sometimes there will be videos, othertimes characters that you can select to dance with.
So each time you "play" the game looks different and you will have the challenge of trying to improve your ability level.
I purchased the game for the workout and am delighted to find that it's so much fun I could (and do) spend hours on it!
The game has the added bonus of a "Workout Mode" so you can track your calories, weight and progress.
You will need a dance pad to play the game. I bought two dance pads so my daughters could take turns working out with me or each other. Well worth the investment. I would advise buying good pads with good padding so it's easier on your joints as you will be doing a lot of moving around.
A+++++ for this great game that gets both kids and adults moving and grooving and having a GREAT time!

It Rocks!!
I gotta say this is the most fun I've ever had exercising and that's exactly the reason I bought it. I like music and I like to dance and I'm losing weight in the process. I would highly recommend it to anyone for simply that, but also just for the fun of it. I'm 44 with 2 teenage kids and if I can do it, anyone can do it! I also need to say that you should get a really good Redoctane pad to go with it. It is $80, but well worth it. So go out and buy this and have fun!!

GET ON THE DANCE FLOOR!!!!!! AGAIN
Ok lets get started with this review!

Storyline NA/10
There is no storyline all u do is DANCE!!!!

Gameplay 10/10
This game is extremely fun u will spend hours playing this game!!! And now with the new beginner level added new comers to the game can start at a very easy level. Also with the new dancer option u get to choose ur favorite dancers from a long list.

Graphics 8/10
The graphics aren't that good, though there not meant to be, cause its more a fun loving kind of game. The dancers aren't that good graphics wise. Still the backgrounds still make up for it.

Sound/Music 10/10
YEAH of chores this gets a 10/10, the music for this game is absolutely wonder with such songs as Dive ~more deep & deeper style~, Break Down, and Legend of Max. This game has some of the best music out there.

Replay Value 10/10
U can never finish this game, there's always something new to do with it, like added options, and a whole lot of other stuff.

Overall 10/10
THIS is one of the best sports games out there! Highly recommended!! ... Read more

an actual buyer...
So far all of the reviewers (good and bad reviews) have been solely out of knowledge pre actually buying the game. However i bought the game and I think it is much better than the first one... I love that now there are a lot more characters (including one in what looks like a whinnie the pooh suit, which has to be unlocked) and more game choices. For example they have medley mode (probably the best new addition) where you can pick 5 songs or do it randomly (which is much more fun). What happens is it plays minute long snipits of the songs to sing, making it easier to do bunches of songs in smaller time. In random you dont know whats coming so u just go with it.
Overall i love this game and the new songs (toxic, I believe in a thing called love, etc.) are great!!

OMG! THIS IS AWESOME!
I'm just going to flatout say it... EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THIS GAME! Everything about it great! The songs, the characters, ect. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I dont know some of the older songs like Heartbreak Hotel and Jesse's Girl. I really wish they would put Everytime or A Thousand Miles on it... but overall ... I LOVE IT! I recommend it to everybody who likes singing or music. Even if your shy in front of a crowd, like me, it helps boost your cofedience. I CAN'T WAIT TILL THEY MAKE KARAOKE REVOLUTION 3! AND... all the reviews have been saying how bad the headset is... but I think it's a lot better... cuz you can dance around when you sing and you can hear yourself too! (through the earpiece) Well, hope this is helpful!

OMG! I WISH I HAVE IT!!!!!
I don't have it but I played it my friends house and wish I did.

This fame has so much more charaters and outfits! This is the best game ever!!!!!!

What does a 40 Year Old Female Think?
I'm not sure anymore what Generation Y or whatever another reviewer was talking about means anymore...but I can talk about the game as someone who was born in the end of 1963 and hasn't been paying attention to popular music for the past 5 years or so...

I got this game on day one, and I didn't know about half the songs...and I still love it! There are songs I remember from when I was a kid; those are fun to sing! Then there are songs I only heard bits of when seeing TV commericals for the local Top-40 radion station -- "Hit me baby one more time" as an example. No problem! I listened to the song on training mode, then played it on the very forgiving "Easy" level. What Fun! An hour later I had a Platinum Record on Expert Level! This game teaches you how to sing and there is huge variety. Version 2 has lots of gameplay improvements too!

Pick up the hand held mic (ABSOLUTELY!), and version 1 without the mic as well, and you've got a sure fire hit for any age group gathering. If you are shy about singing in public, buy it for yourself and play alone. In a few weeks you'll look for an excuse to sing with others. Really.

This game would have been worth it at double the price! (Version 1 as well!) And no, I don't work for Konami or anyone else in the industry, but I'd certainly consider it with games like this!

PLAYED THE GAME
Cool game, but I must say the first volume was a lot closer the real versions of the songs. I like the song selection and the new venues crack me up - especially the jumping headlights in the garage! I love Karaoke Revolution!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Lego has done it again; giving us another awesome addition to their Star Wars collection, this time with this two-piece Revenge of the Sith set. You construct both the Jedi Starfighter that Anakin Skywalker (figure included) pilots in combat, as well as the Vulture Droid of the Separatist arsenal. Both of these models stand alone as finely detailed Lego units equipped with some of the best decals you’ll find. The instructions take you step by step through the simple assembly of both vehicles so there is no difficulty in achieving results. Have fun outfitting the models following the step-by-step directions or go off on your own to create unique Star Wars ships. This is a Lego product so you’ll want to be aware of the numerous small pieces that aren’t suited for young children (recommended 7+ years of age). There’s fun to be had with this toy for Star Wars collectors or Lego fans alike! --Chip Quinn ... Read more

AWESOME TOY!!!
I jsut got this toy today and it is awesome!!! People lie they say it falls apart easly that is total poppycock. it is very durable and i will have much fun playing with this and all my other star wars lego sets that i have now and that i will get in the future.

Great and Durable
This lego was great and was the second episode 3 lego I got.I think that lego could have made this item a little bit better but overall, it was pretty cool. If lego had only put a little more on it, it would be the perfect lego. Still, it is a great lego and is defenitally worth the money.

Favorite Toy
This is a good toy. I think that the best thing about it is the things that open up. The only problem is that the cockpit keeps falling apart. I also like the action figure.

Return of the fragile Lego models
They're back!The fragile Lego models with parts that break off if you touch it the wrong way are back with a vengeance (pun intended).This set builds a Jedi Starfighter and a smaller droid fighter, both of which come with their own pros and cons.

This set comes with one minifig.Anakin Skywalker.He has a blue light saber (not the light-up kind).

Anakin's Jedi Starfighter is the coolest thing about this set.It's a great little ship with a unique cockpit canopy.It goes together easily enough.Nothing too difficult here.Colors are yellow, dark gray, light gray, and black.We get an interesting assortment of pieces here to work with, and a sheet of decorative decals.I have to say, these are some quality decals.When I assembled this model, I accidentally placed one of the decals the wrong way.I noticed this the next day.Removing and reapplying the decal was not a problem, and even though it was removed and replaced, it looks as good as new!There is not a scruff mark on this thing, and it sticks to the piece as well as it did when first applied.Lego knows that the point of this toy is to build, take apart, and build again; so none of the decals here link two pieces together.Kudos to the designers of this model!That's the way things should be.

The Jedi Starfighter has two wings with posable solar panels on them.The instructions say to angle the wings downward (they're on adjustable connectors), but I like it better with the wings straight.If you angle the solar panels appropriately, the ship looks sort of like Darth Vader's tie fighter.It's very cool.Sort of like a mixture of Darth Vader's tie fighter and Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator.The ship has three sturdy and retractable landing gears, and Anakin's light saber fits in the cockpit with him.This ship is loads of fun to play around with, swooping around in dogfights with the droid fighter.

In our durability department, Anakin's little ship leaves a bit to be desired.It's kind of fragile, and the two little guns on the outside of the wings can easily fall off.The larger guns on the inside of the wings are remarkably stable.On top of the wings, there are two smooth plates that could easily come loose because they're not connected to much else.This isn't a model to be rough with.

The droid fighter is reminiscent of the brown droid fighters from Episode 1.This droid fighter is a mixture of light and dark blue, with some black and white.There are some nice decals that give him some cool detail.His wings are quite flimsy and easily break apart.Just like Episode 1's droid fighter, this guy can transform into "walking mode".Just turn his wings so they're facing downward (the wings become his legs), remove his head and snap it on the front, and you've got a "walker droid".Nifty.He's a cool droid fighter; but again, he's not meant for rough play.Very fragile, and wings easily fall apart.In spite of this, he is an improvement over the brown Lego Droid Fighter from Episode 1, and I like his colors better than that dull brown one.

The fragility notwithstanding, I'm giving this set a thumbs up.If you're not rough with the spaceships, it's all good.Both of 'em are fun to build and play with.

Fun but frustrating
My 4 1/2 year old loves this toy - actually he loves all things "Star Wars" at this point.We had a lot of fun putting it together.He found the pieces we needed and helped me put them in the right place.It develops concentration and skills in following instructions.The only gripe I have is that it falls apart far too easily - so often that after two weeks my son will be able to put it back together himself after watching me do it repeatedly. ...

Editorial Review

The parachute gambit is a teacher's secret weapon--a tried-and-true way to annihilate the afternoon blahs. At approximately 9 feet in diameter, with handles all the way around for little (or big) hands to grab, this sunny Playchute Parachute is just smaller than the classroom standard. Fling it into the air and watch it drift down. Run underneath it and watch the colors rain down. Throw a few stuffed animals in the center and bounce them around. Simple, satisfying thrills, and worth every penny. --Claire Dederer ... Read more

Play Can Be Educational
I bought this parachute to take to Ecuador, South America with me to use in the Elementary school. I found it to be a huge help witht the language barrier and the children had a blast. I left it at the school when I came back to the states and I plan on purchasing another one for my own classroom. This is such a great investment!

Dimensions
I bought this parachute despite not being sure of it's dimensions. The description did state it is about 9 feet but others I had found on-line (10 or 12 feet) seemed much more expensive so I expected something smaller. Anyway, I just received it today and I am quite excited. The parachute is actually 10 feet in diameter and has 12 handles. So it is much larger than I had originally expected. This is a great deal and I can't wait for my kids to wake up from their naps so we can play!

Great Value
I bought this as a party game for my daughter's 4th birthday. The nice thing was that she got to use it over & over again after the party. The kids loved it!!!! Her 2 year old sister asks to play with it all the time. We drap it over the table and they play under it and they even love just sitting on it outside. It was played with all summer long and now that winter is here it's coming back inside. It was well worth the price. I was actually suprised how durable and large it was. One of the best toys I've bought!!

A Blast from My Past
I remember playing with the large parachute when I was in grade school in PE. The entire class had such a good time!

I purchased this for my 5 year old godson and his 3 year old sister for Christmas. Now, it's not as much fun with just the two of them, but when the neighbor kids come over, their mom brings it out. That's when the fun begins. It's amazing how long a piece of material can keep a group of kids entertained!

when i have kids over we get the playchute out we sing parachute songs & games !! it's a big hit and an effort. ... Read more

Great Pool
This pool is super easy to open and inflate. It fills quickly and the kids love it. It is also easy to deflate and fold back into the original carrier. This pool is a great deal. We are ordering a second one to keep at a second home.

Great pool...hard to un-spring.
I got this last week, and used it for the first time today. The main selling point was its storability and portability. The pool was a sinch to set up and was decently sized, the material is good quality and appears very durable. The valve on the bottom that drains the water didn't drain the entire pool though they serated the platic to allow water to get out, I ended up pushing one of the edges down to the ground alloing the water to quickly cascade out of the pool. Once drained the pool dried amazingly quickly and I set out to fold it back up and put it away. 30 minutes later I am still trying to figure out how it fold back up without damaging it. I have read and reread the instructions and they aren't very helpful, neither is the picture. Even if I never get it folded back up I would still consider it a MUCH better buy than the platic infaltable alternatives. Even fully expanded it is completely flat and would store easily almost anywhere, and I really like how fast it dries out and I know that I will still be able to use this next year. If you can get yours folded back up then its an even better buy!

Easy Setup/Fold up Pool
We bought this pool for my 4 year old to play in at her grandparent's house. I like the compact storage feature and the lightweight for grandparents to handle. As far as folding it up, we didn't have a problem. We have had several fold up tent toys and were able to fold them too. Maybe others need to follow directions or they should have returned it and not put down a good product!

Easy set up and Take Down
I bought this pool because I wanted something that wouldn't stay out in the yard and that I wouldn't have to chase down in a storm. It is so easy to set up and has been great for my 2 year old. He loves it. When he is finished swimming I just empty the water and it folds up nicely into its bag. I can even take it to grandparents because it takes up so little space in the car. I would recommend this pool and it is so cheap too.

Don't buy this piece of trash!
Neither my husband nor I could ever figure out how to get this dumb pool folded back into its container. The instructions imply it basically folds itself. If you're unlucky enough to get one that doesn't, you're out of luck, since the instructions don't tell you what to do if the sides don't "automatically" curl in the right position! The "easy springs" were bent and broken in just a few tries. A TOTAL RIPOFF!!! ... Read more

Little Tikes Playcenter is great.
After carefully researching various playground alternatives for our 3 year old, we decided on the Little Tikes Playcenter. We were not disappointed - the high quality is just what you would expect from Little Tikes. It successfully bridges the gap between your standard home improvement center-style wood sets and the more industrial playground models. When compared to building a wood set, the cost is not that much higher and there are many benefits - ease of construction (it took us 4-5 hours), it is much safer (no splinters!) and there should be resale value for the item years down the road. The only downsides - shipping took almost 2 weeks versus the week that the website mentions and wish this could be bought in the store to save on shipping. Time will tell when it comes to possible fading, but currently the colors are rich and vibrant. My son really loves this set.

Not happy
I have always been a HUGE Little Tikes fan until this purchase. I have the Little Tikes Playground and the Playground Playcenter doesn't even compare in durability. I also have many other Little Tikes items. I always believed the name Little Tikes stood for quality.
On my Playground Playcenter, the plastic is very thin and has holes/perforations in the seams of the molding. The base is hollow with the 'bottom' out of it. The platform 'gives' when a child walks on it. The sandbox cover is out of shape, flimsy, and thin also. (It collapsed when my two year old granddaughter climbed on top of it.) I also don't feel that the 'legs' for the swing area are sturdy enough.
The teete-totter, swings, and slide are up to standard for Little Tikes.
I had to order this item on line, due to no one carrying it in the stores. I didn't get to SEE it before I ordered it. It was delivered directly to my home.
I feel that this item is way over-priced. Too much money for all the more your getting. I don't mind paying for quality, but in my opinion this item is NOT quality. Definitely not Little Tikes quality.
I would return it if it wasn't for trying to explain to my grandchildren 'why' we didn't keep it - esp. when they waited for several weeks for it to come. I don't look for it to last long, unlike my other Little Tikes items.
Remember, this is MY opinion - concerning MY experience with MY item.

Very Disapointed!
We purched this set for my 2yr old son and I am very disapointed. We chose this set because we plan on moving in the next yr and wanted one that we could bring with us or re-sell when we move. The set up time was abut 3 1/2 hours with my husband and I together, it was pretty easy, clear directions, all the parts were here, and it helps that my husbands VERY handy!
The poblems I have had are with the sandbox, the lid leaks when it rains and the sand takes forever to dry since its covered by the playhouse. I have called little tikes and they have offered to send me a new lid but I know there is nothing wrong w/ the one I have.
-The bamboo on the climbing net has also started to crack (not causing any problems now but I dont see it lasting too long in the outdoor elements) Little tikes has also offered a replacement.
-The floor of the fort is not sturdy at all.
-The swings are definitly too close together for two kids to swing at the same time.
-The screw covers also keep popping open or come off all together.
-We have changed one of the swings to a little tikes toddler swing and its way too low to the ground. Im afraid to adjust the ropes on the swing since it swings crooked to begin with.
-My son loves climbing the rope net and playing with the steering wheel, and he does swing on it every day, but the sandbox is a major disapoinment and he doesnt understand that its wet so he still wants to get in and its like mud! (I bought him the little tikes sand and water box and have transferred most of the sand to this and he loves this!
I would suggest to shop around and maybe look into the one from Step2 I have heard good things about it and it can come wih a pool and its cheaper! I wish I had!
This set will definitly being put up for auction on Ebay next spring!

My daughter LOVES it - lots of summer fun!!
We bought this for my daughter, 2 1/2 years old, because it seemed to have a lot to offer- a sandbox, swings, cargo net, etc. Also, we wanted to stay away from wood due to splinters and rot. My husband and 2 incredible neighbors put this up in about 4 hours. It wasn't easy, but it was not as difficult as some of the other reviews state. The instructions were fairly clear and all the parts were there. My daughter LOVES this and the neighbor kids come play on it too. It is super durable, though portions of it I expected to be solid 'little tykes style' plastic and they turned out to be a bit flimsy... pressed and shaped but not solid. This will last her for a while, since she still needs a little help on it now. Overall, I recommend this if you don't want metal or wood sets. It is a great entertainer for any kid 3-8.

great durable playset
We bought this playset for our children (ages 4 and 2) - so far it has been a great buy - it was pretty easy to put together - you will need at least two people - it is not so high off of the ground that i even feel comfortable with my 2 year old climbing it, yet it is challenging enough for my 4 year old - it easily holds 3-4 small children - the sandbox is terrific and the climbing rope is durable enough for a 4-6 year old to climb - it took about 2 half days to put it together - this is a great product! ...

Beautiful! Miyamoto brings back more fun!
Okay, hour 1 of minish cap: It's 6:00pm and I'm still stuck on this one puzzle, the size of a piece of dust and Ezlo isn't helping me... success! I found the Jar of Gusts! I suck the spiderwebs off (You're sick if you're thinking what I think you're thinking I'm thinking you're thinking.) with the jar and get out of the extra entrances, quite frankly I'm entertained.

Drowning in puddles... teardrops and getting jumped by pieces of pollen... what's not to want or need?! Mr. Miyamoto did not fail us, the gameplay engine was solid, the graphics, good for a GBA game, sound... wonderful! I swear, playing as a super-chibbi is fun, so if you want an affordable good game... don't buy this game... buy it if you want an awesome affordable game! Go Zelda!!!

Cool Game
This is fun, even when you play it again. There is a HUGE amount of kinstone fusions to do, it will take a lot of time to come up with everything. I had to make a separate game where I don't finish the four sword, since i miss a lot of fusions from the town. Also, try making your name dude or cheesy. People start saying really weird stuff.

So Much Fun
I had a ball playing this game. It took a while to finish but it was worth it. Going to start all over again.

One of the Best Games for the GBA
Everything about The Minish Cap is good. Like the music. Mixes range from the NES Legend of Zelda all the way to tunes from Ocarina of Time; many of the sound samples take their cues from Ocarina of Time and the Wind Waker respectively. If you find enough of a particular item you can unlock a means of hearing every song in the game, I was actually surprised to hear how close in quality the songs are to their console counterparts. I don?t know if the GBA?s sound capabilities are being maxed out or if the console sound is severely under utilized. Link?s little boy yell is ever present and sounds nearly as good as it does on GCN. Which is good.



Minish Cap is one of the best looking games on the GBA to date, taking after the toony Wind Waker style. Many of the puzzles in this game require Link to shrink to Picori size.This is certainly one of the best GBA games there is, not mention one of the best 2D Zelda games ever. I hope it?s not the last.
