Amazon.com Product Description

Kirby, that pink puffy resident hero of Dream Land, embarks on another adventure to save his neighbors from King Dedede, who has interrupted everyone's peaceful dreams. Kirby must collect the scattered pieces of the Star Rod and restore the Fountain of Dreams. How's he going to do this? By copying the bad guys' best moves and eating--yes, eating--them and their weapons. One copy of the game supports up to four players (via the separately sold Game Link Cable) with special mini games, but if there's a copy of the game in Game Boy Advance, players can play cooperatively through the game. ...

This game is AWESOME!
The world's coolest pink ball is back with all new copy abilities, bosses, warp stars, and tons more! This game is awesome! Even though it doesn't take long to beat the game, you can play it a zillion times! Kirby lives higher than my expectations though the name sounded kinda wierd when I first heard it. That won't matter after you've played the game. Its way different from Kirby: The Crystal Shards because if you get hit, you lose your power and there's no combos. You can also float forever. One of the copy abilities is kinda dumb its called sleep. But that's the only one. The others like laser, UFO, and needle are cool.
Multiplayer is also awesome. You can fight bosses and everybody with your friends. The sub-games are pretty cool, but when you beat the game, you get the coolest sub-game.

10/10 - Graphics: they can't make it better.
10/10 - Gameplay: cool storyline.
9/10 - Bosses: the bosses are pretty easy until you get to
DeDeDe and the nightmares.
9/10 - Duration: doesn't last long (even thought there are 8
levels) but you can keep on playing over and over and...
you get the idea
10/10 - Control: easy to control
10/10 - Overall: definetly one of the coolest game for GBA; a
must have for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

snoring away in dreamland
One of the first games I ever beat was Kirby's Dreamland on my original old gray Gameboy. In fact, it might have been second after Super Mario Land. I loved it, and play it to this day mostly to see how quickly I can beat it.

The "new" Gameboy Advance game, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland is a remake of the NES Kirby game from 1993. It's pretty much a straight forward port of the original game, with some extra mini-games thrown in. Now, I never had an NES and although I've played Kirby on some emulators, I never beat it. So imagine my disappointment when I bought Nightmare in Dreamland Thursday afternoon, and by the next night had beaten it completely. It took about an hour and a half.

All the regular Kirby functions are there, his famous suck the enemies in and spit them out or absorb their abilities, etc, but there's nothing new and the game is far too easy and straight forward. I only died a few times before the final boss, and each time was out of pure laziness. The enemies present no real challenge, and the bosses are easy to figure out.

The graphics and sound of the game are nice and fun and what one expects from Kirby, and on the outside it seems like it would be a longer game. But it's not-the levels are very short, and I didn't find the mini-games interesting enough to play them very much. There are some levels where you can practically float through the entire thing without ever fighting an enemy.

The game itself is enjoyable, and very much fun to play, but once you've beat it there's really no point in playing it again. There is nothing new to find, really unless you feel like unlocking all the mini-games, and your big reward for beating the whole thing is yet another unlocked mini-game. It's still a Kirby game, and has all the charm of a Kirby game, but if you've played either of the Gameboy games or the original NES there is not a real reason to pick up Nightmare in Dreamland.

fun game but doesnt last long
Yes this game is very fun i got it yesterday and i alrdy beat it so if u play gameboy advance alot i wouldn't suggest this game u will beat it within hours.

For a gamer like me, TOO SHORT
Since the SNES days, I have been a tremendous fan of Kirby. The little pink fluff ball can easily addict you to play, so I picked this game up from a local store. On the box it seemed pretty cool, but what glitters isn't gold. My family was going on a trip, so I brought the game along. It appeared after one and a half hours I was bored with nothing to do. I was very disappointed with this game.

Graphics: (3/5) The graphics are SNES quality, not so great. The backrounds aren't detailed at all and could use more work. Also, the enemies are poorly animated and are the exact size as our main hero Kirby, but don't put up a fight. Not great.

Storyline (3/5) I guess this is a strong point of the game, but still very weak. These nightmares have been attacking the dream fountain, and King Dedede stole the star wand. Its up to Kirby to save Dream Land before the nightmares take over. Not much detail or drama, at all. Meh.

Gameplay (2/5) Ok, sure new morphs were added in (they are sooooo cool!), but the gameplay is really bad. The levels can take as much as a minute and a half to complete for a novice gamer, and there are only five levels and a boss per world. Since there are seven worlds that have five levels in them, that is only about an hour and fifteen minutes worth of gameplay. Then on level eight, the final boss, there are tons of forms so it takes around 10-15 minutes to kill. I could point out about a thousand new morph and level ideas to make this game longer.

Controls: (3/5) The controls are really simple (THANKFULLY), but I dont think there is a use for the L and R buttons - I forget, I haven't played the game in ages- which is minus two points. And there are no combo's or anything combining two buttons. That makes the game bland and standard.

Replay Value (2/5) The replay value stinks as well. There is only one secret if you beat the game with 100%, and I do not find it worth playing. I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't want to play those easy levels again. Not good.

Overall:(2.7/5) We'll just call that three stars. The game isn't a horrible one for ages 4-7, but aside from that, it's a piece of cake. This game does have really bad points, but it has some good ones too. I love the mini-games and arena fights. That just brings back the memories of playing the classic Kirby. I wouldn't recommend buying this game at all, but instead you should go rent it. Overall the game will satisfy you anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days.

kirby kirby kirby
this game if fun when you first play it bu after u have played it a few times it gets boring stay away from this game if u r not a fan of the show so i give 3 stars ... Read more

8 games for the price of 1!
Ultimate Brain Games has proven to be worth the money I paid for it. The "Sink the Ships" game is surprisingly fun--more fun than "Battleship". Chess is quite challenging for the limited capabilities of a gameboy game (with 7 other games taking up resources). Majhong, Reversi, and Connect Four are difficult (which is a good thing) and as user friendly as any computerized versions. The game also offers Checkers, Backgammon, and Dominoes as well as a design your own character feature which is mildly enjoyable, but not all that important.

The graphics are mediocre. The music is quite good for a gameboy advance game, but still annoying enough for me to keep the volume turned down.

Ultimate Brain Games is a great cure for boredom. Just pick it up, select a game that suits your immediate fancy, and play. Convenient, challenging, and full of possibilities.

Ultimate Brain Games......
It's about time that someone thought of doing this for the Gameboy Advance. There's some of us out here that enjoy playing games of this nature and I tip my hat to Telegames for having the courage to release a collection of this type. For instance, there's Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, Mahjong, Dominoes, 4-in-a-Row, Sink the Ships, and Reversi so there's plenty of variety to choose in what to play as well as the Face Creator feature which permits player customization. You can select full 3-D or 2-D views with animation, board types, figure styles and backgrounds. You can pick your computer opponent from a list of 12 different male and female faces with animated expressions, Edit the playlist(from the over 1-hour game music playlist) to only hear what you want and more. Heck, you can even play against a real opponent with one game pak and a link cable to his or her GBA. I really think Telegames did an excellent job with this game. Giving us a good quality collection of games with lots of variety.
If you're into classic strategy games of this sort, you ought to give Ultimate Brain Games a try. It's awesome.

brain games
this is like the best game ever because i love chess, and checkers!!So I gave it 5 stars!Plus my dad love dominioes!

One of the mind loving titles for the GBA
This is a great collection of games. They all play equally well. The graphics here are not mind blowing but they do convey the felling of each game. However Mahjong Solitare lacks detail making a few of the tiles hard to say. Also, the lightness of the tile indictates how many tiles are under it, this can be annoying because by the time you get the last time it is dark indeed.

The game also has a mini playlist that lets you pick your music and this does work well, and is a fun addition.

The difficulty for most games is a relative fair. however as you increase the difficult it the computer takes increasing longer to make a move.

Wrong game
Disregarde the review I just did. It was the incorrect game.
I meant to review the ultimate card game.

Excellent Purchase
My daughter is still a little young for this set but she is very interested in it. It was very easy to put together. I think it only took 30 minutes. This is a very beautiful and a very solid set. Over all I think this is well worth the price even with the shipping costs.

Good Solid Construction - Very Cute
My 20 month old daughter loves this set. She can get herself on and off the chairs without falling. The chairs are of strong enough construction that anyone can join her for a tea party and safely sit on the solid chairs. My only problem with this set is that I have not found a way to obtain additional chairs. We would love to have 4 chairs instead of just 2.

LOVED IT!!!
We just got this table set for our 20month old daughter and she loves it, she eats on this table, she loves just to sit when kids come over.
The only problem we had with this table set was with one of the chairs but other than that everything was very good & easy to set up & you can tell the wood is very good. This was her x-mas present.

Great finishing touch for baby's room
This table and chair set is the perfect compliment to the Sunshine nursery items. Very easy and quick to assemble, it took me less than 30 minutes! Very sturdy, my daughter loves it! Even though we already had a table set for her room, I purchased this as soon as it became available to truly "complete" her room. The other set is now in the dining room. It's a little pricey but is very well made and all in all well worth the money. Hopefully more items will be available soon in this line, because we love it for our little girl! ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The Legend of Zelda series practically defined adventure gaming for an entire generation. Link, the hero of the adventure games, delighted millions by starring in games for each Nintendo console from the NES and Super NES to the Nintendo 64. Link brings this beloved franchise to the Nintendo GameCube in The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and he's more animated than ever.

The first thing you'll notice about The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker is that it looks completely different from any previous title in the franchise. Nintendo has opted to use cel-shading technology on Wind Waker; the result is that the game looks like a cartoon. Die-hard Zelda purists initially howled at this change, arguing that the game skews too young. I think it's fantastic. The cartoon animation style allows for better expression of the characters, and several of the animations--like Link trying to pick up an object that's too heavy--are so cute that you can't help but laugh a little.

The second thing you’ll notice is a focus on wind. Instead of trotting around on foot, Link travels from island to island on a talking boat, but he doesn't get far without the wind blowing in right direction. Luckily, you'll learn how to change the direction of the wind early in the game, and you'll do so frequently--not only to power your boat but also to solve puzzles. Clever use of wind makes Wind Waker stand out from more conventional adventure games.

The third thing you’ll notice is that the game is just plain fun. Puzzles are innovative and refreshing, and despite some tricky puzzles, I never felt too frustrated to keep playing. The locales you'll visit are invariably exotic and fun to explore, and the host of bizarre creatures you'll encounter (friendly and otherwise) are always a kick in the pants. Moreover, though the look is radically different, Wind Waker feels like a classic Zelda game. Veterans of the early games in the franchise will experience more than a bit of nostalgia while playing it.

The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker is everything you've come to expect from a Zelda game, and it's one of the best adventure games to date. This is a must-have title for any GameCube owner. --Jon "Safety Monkey" Grover

Pros:

• New cel-shaded animation looks great
• Puzzles and characters are a lot of fun
• There's a special place in the heart of any gamer who's ever owned a Nintendo console, and that place is shaped like a Triforce

Cons:

• Some Zelda purists may be turned off by the cartoon look

Disappointing.
I'm one of the biggest fans of Ocarina of Time on the planet Earth. I loved EVERYTHING about Ocarina, and it's followup, Majora's Mask. So obviously, I was highly anticipating The Wind Waker, the third Zelda game to go 3-D.

It starts off decent enough, and the first three dungeons are pretty satisfying, and the cel-shaded graphics are extremely well done, even if you prefer realistic presentations. Technically, they're brilliant.

After the first three dungeons, however, it becomes evident that the game was rushed. The next two go from decent to horrible (not to mention that I didn't die ONCE in the whole game, it's that easy), and after that you're sent on a fetch-quest all over the oceanic world, which by the way is FAR too large for its own good.

Keep in mind that as a game, it's not terrible. But as a successor to Ocarina of Time, it just doesn't hold up for me. The dungeons aren't anywhere near as good, the overworld is too large, the game is too humorous for something like this, and there is no real sense of accomplishment: Ooh, I solved this extra puzzle that I didn't have to, what do I get!?!?!...

Oh...it's...a...necklace...great.

It's good, but it's not worth [the money]if you ask me.

To Set the Record Straight.
After reading several of the reviews of this game, I couldn't help but add my two cents. Aren't we all tired of grammatically incorrect reviews that sound like they came from the second grade classroom?
This game, simply put, is amazing. I was skeptical at first when I saw the cel-shaded graphics. Believe me when I say the screenshots do not do this game justice. The lighting, the framrate, the textures and the animation all combine to make the BEST looking game this side of Metroid Prime or Halo. The art style fits this type of game perfectly. If you were to look back at the art of the original Zelda game on NES, you would be astounded by the similarities. The graphics add to the game in such a way you would never expect. Stuck in a dungeon? Swing the Camera around and take a look at where Link's beautifully animated eyes are pointed. Want to know which direction the wind is blowing? Look at Link's hat blowing in the proper direction. That brings me to another topic. The facial animations are second to none. Okay, now don't laugh, but there will be times when you literally laugh out loud, or feel like crying. The game is that good at connecting with you. But enough about the graphics.
The sound effects and musical tracks in this game quite simply blew me away. After my first day of playing this game I found myself humming to several of the overworld themes. With a few exceptions (Link makes an annoying sound when he crawls) the sound effects are great. The grunts, bonks, sword clashes and water splashes all sound like they should.
The staple of the Zelda series has always been gameplay, and the Wind Waker has it in spades. The gameplay is quite similar to Ocarina of Time as far as control. The dungeons are fun and some of the puzzles are very clever. The game doesn't seem to be quite as difficult as Ocarina, but as a whole it is longer. I would like to personally congratulate the person who decided you would be sailing in a boat. From the first moment I was sailing the high seas there was a huge grin on my face. It still may be there, as a matter of fact. The game world consists of a 7x7 matrix of squares. Each square has at least one island, and it takes a minute or two to sail the distance of just ONE square. You can start to get an idea of just how expansive this game is. Not unlike every other Zelda game, there are side and optional quests to keep you playing long after you have conquered your last dungeon. If you own a Gamecube, it would be a shame if you didn't own a copy of this game. And if you don't have a Gamecube, this game alone would be worth the price. (Plus you can get Metroid for free, so that would be twice the fun.)
If you look at this game and its cel-shaded graphics and dismiss it as "kiddie" or "dumb" maybe you should grow up yourself.

Genus
This game is by far the best zelda ever. It is not the same game at all. You sail the seas in a major adveture to become the new hero. Defeat Ganon, Saving the princess zelda, and rescue your sister that was taken by a big over growned bird. meet pirates and divers. Also see the new Link, his Grandma, Aryll his sister, Tetra the female pirate, also the King, and the princess.

I could never give any less
Though I AM disappointed with the graphics, this is an awesome game. It's got great game play, excellent controls and beautiful colours.

First, the storyline: definitely not as good as the others but it has it's pros too. PROS/ I like how Tetra is really Zelda in disguise. Ganondorf makes his appearance. CONS/ Link is not really Link. The guy you control who RESEMBLES Link is actually just a boy who dresses in Link clothing and takes the legendary sword and shield. The water filled base, it's cool at first and maybe if it was smaller but most of the whole map/world is water and it gets annoying when you're trying to sail and everytime you want to go another way you have to play the song.

The temples: Only a couple, somewhat of a challenge, pretty well done. I love the enemies and the fact that you have to sneak around under a barrel just so you won't get caught. Puzzling but not as hard as OoT and some of the parts in MM.

The characters: The only character I really like is Tetra and Ganondorf. It would have been a lot better if you were playing as the real Link but you're not. You can pretend all you want but firstly, Link doesn't have a sister (especially a sissy one who would get captured) and secondly, Link does not show much emotion. The main reason for cel shading this game was to have the so-called Link show emotions but in my views, Link is a tough guy who doesn't like to show much emotion. See the facial gestures in Oot, MM and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

In all, this is an excellent game to play, the temples and underground caves are fun to play and the items are cool and interesting. Tingle is the same weirdo as always and the "small fry" fish is cool. Okay well that's all I can write since my computer is messing up royal, anyways, this is an amazing game and I suggest you buy it especially if you enjoyed the other Zelda games. A good edition.

Wind waker
Once again Nintendo rewards it's fans with another masterpiece.
Remeber Pong and Super mario bros. cheesy graphics. Did they matter? No. Nintendo has long taught us that games are fun not because of graphics, but because of innovation and Game play(story, mechanics). But this game succeeds in all categories. The latest innstallment of The Legend of Zelda has by far the best art style in any game to this date. I admire Nintendo for breaking out of the norm of games and daring to create a new experience. This game far exeeded my expectations. Magnificent gmaeplay, wonderful story, interesting new characters and amazing graphics. I love the addition of the grappling hook, swinging around on ropes and chandelleers is addicting. If a game can introduce a new style and completly immerse you in them within seconds, that is success. This game does just that. As usual their is plenty of side quests to keep you playing for months on end. As with Majora's Mask this game also allows you to play as other character in certain levels. Another great addition is the expressions on Links face. He glances around(helping you with clues), grunts with heavy lifting and much more. The attention to the slightest details have all been paid. For instance the ropes holding the bridges can be cut or torn resulting in a dangerous situation for whoever crosses it. There is always two ways to completing a puzzel. The environment is by far the largest of the series, plenty of islands to explore. This game has a gentle learning curve and is very rewarding. As with the first Zelda the second time through offers new elements.
I highly reccomend buying this game, it is a gem in the History of Nintendo. ... Read more

Much like the Classic
As a person who's rumored to have been playing Trivial Pursuit since she was six years old, I have to admit that version 6 of this game has to be one of the better ones to come along in years. Much like the first Genus edition, the questions have a great range in both subject matter and level of difficulty. However, a problem plagues Trivial Pursuit 6 that has plagued all other recent editions: NOT ENOUGH QUESTIONS. After about 5 full length games, I found myself and my companions repeating the questions! Trivial Pursuit 6 has about half the number of question cards that Genus I (from 1979) had. The new version 6 is great if you're a casual player who won't play it that often, but for any die-hard fans, this game is going to get really old really quickly.

An educational activity that is still enjoyable.
Trivial Persuit is a game that brings something unique and refreshing to the "board game" genre. It is'nt educational in the traditional sense, but it is a great way to learn about specific interests for children and parents alike. A classic game with potential to last for years as childeren grow and share the game with their own families. TP is a neccesity for any person that enjoys games, learning or a stimulating challenge.

Another great edition of a great game!
After several years, this game is still challenging and can keep you guessing for hours. It also makes a great gift, as my brother was excited when I bought this for him at Christmas. Who said random bits of trivia were useless? Get this game and put those tidbits to good use. ... Read more

Update for my other review
This game sounds very fun In adventure mode the story is that an evil organization has made pokemon evil and now they use them as there slaves. Your job is to defeat the evil pokemon and steel them from the organization.Now whats even greatter is that the new pokemon games that are possibly coming out 8 websites that I read said there going to come out Q3 Witch is July - september. They are remakes of the other ones the orginal pokemon blue and red they are called pokemon fire red and green leaf and the pokemon can be transfered into pokemon colosseum and if you dont know what green it is ok only the japenese people know red and green where the first pokemon games and blue was a later version in japan but green never made it anywhere over seas and also there is going to be a wireless link bundled with it. It supports up to 5 players but there has to be special games that support this feature and best of all its wireless so you dont have to put up with the link becoming lose.Over all pokemon colosseum is going to be great and so are the new gba games.

pokemon colosseum
It is one of the grates games i have played in my life.I love playing it.

A sad try to keep the trend thriving.
While Colosseum is fun... some what, and the Pokemon them selves look cute and cool (Or in wailord's case, properly HUGE) but the game all together is a sad try to get more people back into the World of Pokemon. I personaly break it down like this:

Fun level: 6/10
Let's face it, one of Pokemon's long time falws is there aren't many truly difficult battles. Once you get the second badge you just grow (which takes forever I'll admit)till your team is strong enough, and then fight. This time however, you have all the badges, and you start with a team that can both take a pounding and dish it out as well. The added challange of stealing Shadow Pokemon dose add a spark that helps, but not enough.

Gamer freindly: 9/10
The controls are easy, all the basic stuff is all there. But you now have to get to a computer to save. I have been just about to fight one of the few tough battles, and the last save spot is a 2 minute walk from where I am standing. The loss of save anywhere hurt how freindly the game is to what the Gamer sometimes has to deal with. However, a good gamer (which is just about any gamer really) can easilly adapt to this minor problem.

Story: 9.5/10
The idea of you being a reformed criminal is a nice way to go at it. Plus that fact that in the begining movie you steal something from your former team, and then blow up the hide out, adds a kind of ironic humor games rarely have. Then the whole bit about Shadow pokemon is a nice touch. The story line it self is nice really, but like all Pokemon games, it isn't perfect. For example, where are the cops I mean come on. You're still a criminal for all they know, and the 2 cops you DO meet just stand there and say "Hello. The city seam to have a lot of crime in it lately" Some police ofrce.

Game Length: 5/10
Ok, this is POKEMON we're talking about here right? The game that requires a week to really get started right? Not this time. With in a couple of weeks I had stolen Suicune, Entei, and was totaly unstoppable. In the time it normaly takes to get a third of the way through normaly, I had allready fought the last battle. Sorry guys, but this game is just WAY too short for Pokemon.

Graphics: 10/10
The attack and Pokemon graphics are one of the few things that save this game. The cute Pokemon are cuter, the cool are cooler and size is finnaly acurate. I was never able to imagine Wailord's size for example. I sure can now, WHAT A WHOPPER! True some graphics are better than others, but any game like this has that quality.

Overall: A disapointing 5/10
Let's face it, the makers of Pokemon were just too desperate to put a new game for the gamecube on the market. They should have just stuck with the traditional game, made this one longer, or made a Pokemon stadium that could connect with Ruby, Saphire, and all of their predicessers. True Pokemon fans will still enjoy this game, but if Nintendo want to keep Pokemon alive, they had better do ALOT better next time.

super duper collosuim game
this is the best game ever i got a quilava and i beat your ex boss i snagged suicune,entei,and rakiou.on the first try i failed to snag entei but once i got to relgem tower i battled him again and snagged entei.

Please! Please! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!ur rippin ur selvs off

AWESOME
CORVETTE RACE CAR IS LIKE NO OTHER. THE BEST OF ITS KIND SO FAR.

This vehicle is not durable!
Our 4 year old put less than 20 hours on this car and the rear wheels are slamming back and forth to the point that it's no longer useable. The engineering design of the rear is poor. The motors are attached to each wheel separately and not anchored to the vehicle.

The vehicle is sharp to look at and the kids love it, but it is not durable and at the price is a poor purchase. ... Read more

How to Get Around a University Campus in Comfort & Style
This is a very well made, cost-efficient scooter for covering significant ground in comfort and style.While perhaps not appealing to teenagers who like to go very fast, it's top speed of 12 mph is certainly more than adequate.A large diameter from wheel with cast spokes and two smaller rear wheels add significant stability to this scooter.All wheels are mountain bike quality tires, and the two rear wheels appear to be solid rubber.In between the two rear wheels is a large "razor scooter-like" tire which adds stability to the scooter if you were to tip back.A large rubber covered platform to stand on makes this scooter easy to ride.Note that you need to stand a bit toward the front of the platform so that the scooter does not angle back, but this does not impede the quality or ease of use of the ride.The scooter is easy to put together--10 mins max, and comes with all tools you need, although having a vise-grip is helpful.Also has a very small turning radius if that is a requirement.All-in-all, a fun and cost effective way to get around, sort of like the poor man's Segway.

Lots of fun
I'm a TRU employee. We recently started using one to get Birthday Club sign ups. I got to use it.

First off I'm heavy set and over the weight limit. It STILL performed very well. Got good speed and can make tight turns in a narrow aisle. Plus it works well at getting people to sign up.

I love using this thing. I used it for almost 2 hours before it started to loose power. My added bulk makes it have to work harder but it still works great.

If a grown adult employee can love this thing I'm certain a ten year old kid would love it too.

A 5yr Old New Game Boy User
My daughter is 5 and just got a Game Boy. This game is great, but only if know how to read. There are a lot of pop up screens that tell you what to do, but she can't read them. There is a lot of variety to the games. I find myself playing with it more than her, because she gets frustrated over needing me to read the screens.

Come on, Disney!!!
I'm not going to tell you how I played this game. I will tell you this though: this title seriously lacks any solidity. It's basically a monotonous series of little games that are more chores than fun. As Cinderella, you clean spots all over the house and nothing more, and I can't even remember what Belle, Snow White, and Aurora do. Ariel swims around and is ever-so-vaguely remeniscent of The Little Mermaid for NES -- which is still a great game, by the way. DP is not a total loss though, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one. It has it's moments: Princess Jasmin provides minor thrills on her magic carpet. But Disney could do so much better.
There are no girl-gamers and boy-gamers! There are only gamers and non-gamers! You don't need sludge like this to entertain a little girl.

A Disney Classic
I'm an adult and I love video games. I chose Disney Princess because I'm an avid Disney fan. This game only took me a few hours to complete but was highly entertaining along the way. The single-player game is somewhat halting, with not a lot of room to move around (fixed paths to move in, you go where they tell you to go) in the game play but for any girls, ages reading level and up, it is fabulous. The colors are vivid and there are many levels with items you have to find while keeping your life up. I recommend this game for any Disney fan.

Not for Young Girls unless...
This game is really fun; but is more for older girls. They must be able to read unless mom wants to have to help every minute. If your daughter can read and loves the Disney series; then it is highly recommended. One of the definate perks is that you can choose which princess you are as you play. Very cute game.

`*Pretty as a Princess!*`
This game is EXCELLENT! I absolutely adore it, I've played it through like a million times, and I still love it!

Very cute & sweet!!! ... Read more

Little Powerhouse
My son recently received a Power Wheels jeep that had been in use for over 3 years before he got it. The batteries had not been charged as specified in the instructions, and they died shortly after he started using it. The jeep couldn't run on concrete, much less on grass.

I replaced both existing batteries with these, which incidentally are a different colour from the picture, and the jeep now runs fine on most surfaces.

It requires 18 hours charging time before you can use the batteries, so be prepared for some impatience before the vehicle can actually be used. You have to charge them after each use, and also once a month if the vehicle is not in use, at 16 hours each time.

Tech support from Fisher Price is non-existent in my part of the world, where 800 numbers are not accessible, because their site doesn't have a customer service or tech support e-mail address listed. I needed important information, because I learned that the model I have was recalled for electrical problems, and I wanted to see exactly which parts needed to be fixed to solve the problem.

I'm sure that these batteries will last a long time with proper care, but wish the tech support was better

Wonderful, simply wonderful
Have you ever played a console game and said to yourself "I wish this game was online"? Well, ask no more. This little wonder makes all your dreams come true. Have madden 2k3 and want the updated rosters for 2004? Just download them to your memory card. Want to play against millions of people around the world? Turn on SOCOM and hit online. This adapter also features BOTH a Dial-up (phone-line) port as well as a broadband (cable/dsl) port. While I have never used the dial-up port, the broadband port work like a dream. The adapter hasn't caused any problems and works just as fast as your ps2 does. While there are relatively few games out now that are compatible with the adapter, sony has a whole lineup of games coming out next year that will take advantage or the adapters capabilities (Resident Evil Online anyone?).

Where does this thing go? Right in the back of your PS2. It takes up very little space and can be used when the ps2 is in either upright or laying down position. Don't have an internet provider to go online? A disc comes with the adapter to set up an account for you if you don't have an online provider already.

Definately buy this adapter if you want to play with or against people around the world.

Once you go online... you'll never want to go back
If you are one of the millions of people who own a PS2, and are fortunate enough to have cable or DSL internet as well, then you might want to think about investing a little cash in Sony's network adapter. You'll thank me for it later. Setting it up is pretty straightforward and easy, taking around 5 minutes for so. You simply take the expansion bay cover off the back of you PS2, insert the adapter in it's place, and your nearly ready to lose much of your life to online play. From here, it's just a matter of inserting the set-up disk in your PS2, and following the onscreen instructions. While some will inevitably have problems here and there (as is the case with any product), most will be up and running in no time.

Some will need to enter the username and password for accessing the Internet, but most will simply need to use the "auto-detect" settings function. Try this one first, as over-thinking the process only causes unneeded frustrations. Once you've confirmed an Internet connection, you just need to register your adapter online (which you can do from the set up menu), and your "good to go". If you are still having trouble at this time, and cannot seem to connect to the Internet, you may need to "reset" your modem. This is as simple as unplugging it for around a minute or so, and powering it up again. As someone without a router, have to remove the Ethernet cable from my PC, and replace it with a cable going to my PS2 each time I want to play. It took me several frustrating tries before I realized resetting my modem was what I overlooked. This will probably do the trick for you as well.

Now all you have to do is insert an online compatible game (look for the online symbol on the front of games that support it), log onto one of their servers, and play all your little heart desires. You'll soon be enjoying the "free" online play, and kicking the butts of online friends and strangers alike. Trust me when I tell you that games take on a whole new dimension when you take them online. As many old sayings go... once you try it, you'll never want to go back. In this case at least, truer words have never been spoken. Buy this at once!

"alankelly"

i dont know if i should by this
for the adapter it says u connect to the internet does that end up on the bill

**!!ONLINE PLAY IS AWESOME!!**
I love online play now. I bounght Socom II and decided to buy this to try it out online. The online play is more fun than the single player missions. Single player i begin to get sick of, but with online it is always different people, and some people are more of a challenge. Online play is GREAT, and this is very worth while!!!

Great Addition to PS2, but not as good as XBox Live
I just have a few things to say to about everyone's claim that PS2 online is free as opposed to XBox Live. Let me start off by saying that I'm not an XBox fanboy or a PS2 basher (I own all 3 systems and think they're all great), but I'm just trying to add another perspective to the whole "Xbox Live charges to play and PS2 doesn't argument." That's right XBox live does charge you initially for a one year subscription, the PS2 doesn't.... that is a fact. The thing that is usually overlooked, which I did so myself, is that you have to pay for the online adapter, which is almost the same price as a 1 year subscription to XBox live. Secondly, when you buy a 1 year subscription to XBox live you also get a headset to go along with it. So not only do you have to buy a network Adapter for the PS2, but you have to buy a USB headset as well, which means that you'll be forking over another $30 bucks in the process. The difference in the headsets is another story, leaning in favor of the XBox also. The PS2 headset plugs into the console while the XBox headset plugs into your controller, not a big issue but it does make a difference. Last but not least, after I bought the network adapter and I began to set it up I realized that my memory card didn't have enough free space to install the online software so I had to go and buy another (ch-ching) $25.00 memory card. So after the storm had settled, I spent nearly $100 to go online on the PS2, but only $50 to go on to XBox live. So my conclusion to this debacle is... there is no such thing as free online gaming whichever road you choose. I could also go on about the Hard disc drive/FFXI bundle ($100 more dollars), but that's just beating a dead horse. ... Read more
