one of the better games.
This game is amazingly fun and addicting. I started playing 2 or so years ago, and i'm still playing it. It will only take you a couple of weeks to reach Heavy Mode and maybe a month or 2 before you can beat MaxX UNLIMITED.
To play this game, you step on the arrows on the dance pad corresponding to the arrows scrooling up the screen. Some songs are exceptionally fast (320 BPM: MaxX UNLIMITED), others are really slow (140 BPM: So Deep). The fast ones may seem impossible to read at first, but after some time, it'll be easier to read than a picture book.
Personally, the hard songs are really easy over time. Believe it or not, i have "AAA"ed MAX 300, MaxX UNLIMITED, and The legend of MAX, and im one of the best players in Ohio.
And by the way, if you go to buy the Japanese version of MAX2 or Extreme, have fun with PARANOiA Survivor MAX (Hardest song in DDR history) ;)

Much better than seditary gaming!
I love this, I still don't understand how anyone can actually do the advanced levels (seems impossible to me).The thing that I'm not sure about is if it will save info for 2 players?Overall fun and a good workout for body and mind and spirit.

"Patrick Swayze Would have been proud of me"
Last Friday, my aunt Chris and uncle Chris (no joking they have the same exact name; on a side note though, for laughs I like to call uncle Chris aunt Chris, lol)came into town to go to some formal dinner of some sorts with Mom and Dad. I was supposed to go to 9 Mile with Lyle and look at guitars with him but Mom and Dad said I had to baby-sit Chris and Chris's 12 year old daughter (my cousin) Trisha.

She was kind of spoiled but that's what happens to most only children. Anywho, she brought over this new virtual reality game for the PS2 called Dance Dance Revolution 2. Whereas the point is to stand on these pads and, you guessed it dance. Lyle ended staying over to keep me company while bratty Trisha played with her High Brow toy. She ended up having two of those virtual reality pads so two people could play. When she offered, Lyle immediately stated, "NO WAY, those are strictly for girls and Asian guys", I quickly followed his lead to save face with him (he was a little irritated that we had to skip guitar browsing, so I didn't want to push it).

Around 10:30 Trisha went to bed so Lyle and I watched Black Dog (a great Patrick Swayze movie, by the way), Lyle went to bed right after the movie ended, but I told him I wanted to stay up a little bit to practice my harmonica. After about 15 minutes when I thought he would be a sleep, I kind of betrayed him and turned on Dance Dance. I played and it grew on me really quick. Before I knew it, I was dancing like my feet were on fire. After about twenty minutes I thought how fun it would be to go head on head with someone else. Since I dared not to wake up Lyle or Trisha, I had an ingenious idea.

What I did was I boxed in the second pad with the couch, loveseat, and chairs, then I tied a bog biscuit to a string and hung it from the light fixture above the pad. Then I woke up Morris (my dog) and did a quick grappling bout with him to riel him up. When I found him ready enough I put him in the furniture enclosure and showed him the dog biscuit. The match was on! We played straight for about a half-hour. I danced like there was no tomorrow while he jumped up and down trying to get the treat that was just inches from his grip. In the end I pretty much annilatted Morris, I think he only beat me like once.

In conclusion, Virtual Reality is finally starting to show some promise. It's been a long road for it. I just hope the world can show the future generations of virtual reality the tolerance and acceptance that Morris, Trisha, and I have.

Now at the Review writing section it asked me 2 questions.The first was "How much fun is this game?".Well thats easy.It is a Tuttleman approved 5 stars of fun.The second question was "How do you rate this game overall?".The problem is that I could never admit to Lyle that I actually liked this crazy contraption.Do you know how many cool points I would lose if Lyle knew I was (for one night only) a solid-gold lord of the dance with feet of fire!?ALL OF THEM.So I'm rating it 1 star over-all, just in case Lyle asks me what I rated it.That way I won't technically be lying to Lyle.Later.

DDR Rocks!
This game is fun, addicting, and healthy for you! DDR Max 2 is well worth its price. Although most of the songs in it are not all that common, the music selection is still pretty good and I would recomend this game for any beginners in the world of DDR.

It teaches you the basics and also allows you to choose harder options for those of whom are already hooked to the arcade version.

AWESOME
this is one of my favorite video games, you have fun and get fit at the sme time! I would recomend this for everyone who loves to "get down." ... Read more

Roll with a goal!!
Upon hearing about this game, my knee-jerk reaction was that it would be the most boring game in existence.I mean, seriously, how fun can it be to roll around a ball, picking up various items along the way?!Apparently more fun than anyone anticipated (judging by others' reactions and ratings)!

Other reviewers have been doing a great job describing the goal of the game; that of rolling around a sticky ball (katamari) and picking up progressively larger items.Once you get the katamari a certain size (as determined by what mission, stage, level you're on) the King of the Cosmos turns your katamari into a star or constellation.

What many of the reviewers seem to have missed is the goal of each level.The overarching theme is to make stars and constellations, in order to restore all of the stars to the sky.However, each level has specific nuances.For instance, when trying to make the constellation Taurus, the goal is to pick up the largest cow you can find.Additionally, you may want to try working on making the constellation of Gemini.In this level you need to try and pick up two (a pair) of each item.Your score is then calculated for however many pairs you have.

The game is fantastic, simple (in controls and purpose), but still challenging... with time limits to produce a certain-sized katamari.I do not own this game, and have only played it once, but I guarantee that I will be purchasing this game in the near future!It's a great game.Give it a chance!I think you'll like it!

Humorous, infectuos and weird
So, you are pint sized prince who rolls katamari, a ball that everything sticks to. As things stick to katamari, ball grows and larger are the objects that you can merge with katamari. Almost all levels are time trial (I dislike time trials) and you have a size ball must reach, so you roll around and learn what levels look like in order to make katamari grow faster. All levels are medium or easy, except Poland.

Game is logical, which we haven't seen in a long time, and it is really attractive: imagine rolling 5 cm big katamari to pick up nuts and batteries in the beginning of the level and , after some time, rolling katamari big enough to pick up people, cars, buildings, and , finally, clouds and rainbows.

There should be a sequel soon, and I'd like to see levels that are different visually (Saudi Arabia looks like Russia). Some levels could have special restrictions, like it is forbidden to roll people, some levels should have interesting geometry, let's say sliding down the street or possibility to roll down the roller coaster. It would also be nice to have more levels with large katamari, and more levels in general.

The main reason game got 4 stars is camera...but, BUY! Game is weird but also really fun to play!!!

????????????? But FUN!
the developers of this game were obviously on an overdose of every drug ever created! This is the wierdest game i have ever and ever will play in my entire life! But in a good way . . . the game actualy has shadow of brilliance combined with block and and solid objects. The game however is VERY fun! which makes me wonder about drugs . . . (just kidding, drugs are bad!)all ages will find a whimsical joy in this odd, fun, and blurry brilliance. Its a bragain, u have no excuse!

Fun, Fun, Fun!
This is a great game for anyone, no matter the age.
If you can use the Playstation controller, you can play this game.

Plenty of others have given good descriptions of it, so I just wanted to echo a 5 star review.

If you have kids, you will be playing right along with them, I'm sure.

Tripped Out
I first played this game at a buddies house and was hooked on of all things, the tunes.Basically this game is like the others have said - the stars are gone and it's the son of the King of Cosmos' job to put them back to the sky, and re-create the constellations.So, the son goes to earth and with a ball called a Katamari, he rolles up anything from ants to skyscrapers so that a giant ball of stuff they can be elevated into the sky and turned into stars.

The thing about this game that's so addictive are the little challenges to it and finding different things that you missed the first 4 times you rolled on a level.You wind up enjoying watching others play it because you look at the details of all the objects that are around you in the game - and how impressive it is!(the amount of detail)The gameplay to this is simple and fun - one of my friends likened rolling the ball to driving the Warthog in Halo 2; not so bad of an analogy.But that's all you really need - you don't use the buttons really or anything else; just the analog sticks, which make it a game that almost anyone can play and enjoy.

Definitely recommend it.I enjoyed the game and the tunes in the game were cute if anything else.Try not to think too much of the 'plot' of the game... there really isn't one although there is a small story to carry along which is more of a gag for the tripped out herb heads.But this really is a pretty easy game that you can just pop in, take your mind off things, and play.I guess my only gripe would be that it wasn't very long at all... even though I wound up playing it for about 3 hours straight when i got it.Check it out! ...

Great game and workout!
This is my first time ever playing ddr. I have read several reviews on how people got into shape playing this game because it was so much fun and addicting. They were right! The only complaint I have about this bundle pack, when I bought it, the salesperson said it came with the eye toy. I was sooo disapointed to find out it didn't. My sister works in a music store where they sell the bundle pack, and she also thought that it came with the eye toy due to misleading advertising. In the fine print it says sold seperately. The makers of this game need to make it more clear that it does not come in the pack.

Good exercise! Tara's review
I got this game today. It did not cost me much. My brother and I had to pay thirty dollars each. Anyway, I like this game. It's pretty fast. I have not been to weight loss mode yet, but I heard it's cool from the other reviews.
Hope you enjoy this toy.

Some good, some bad.But fun overall.
I play dance games a lot.I own all the console games and think this is one of the better mixes for PS2.I'll go over the pros and cons catagorically...

Graphics:The graphics are nice for a PS2 DDR game.However, I have been playing DDR Extreme in the arcades for a couple years now and the graphics are not the same.If you go to Japan, this is the same overall graphics as DDR Festival.

Music:The music is top notch despite several cover songs that were used in Karaoke Revolution.

Scoring:The scoring is now back to the way 5th Mix in the arcades handled the points.This would be ok if this game didn't have the Extreme moniker on it.

Gameplay:Gameplay is excellent, but I have a gripe in the song selection menu...Non-stop and challenge modes are available, but are always selectable in the song selection menu.In other words, you can play everything up to your last stage and STILL choose to play a non-stop or challenge course.In the arcade, challenge and non-stop mode are available at the difficulty selection screen for good reason.

For the normal person who is just getting into the DDR craze, this is a good stepping stone.For those who are hardcore DDR players, this is still a good investment.You may be just a little let down however.

Never Bored
I got this gift as a Christmas present. I play it just about every single day. There are so many different modes, characters, and songs that you can unlock. You have fun while playing, excercising, and dancing.

When I play I don't even seem to notice the time. The dance pad is excellent, and still is in the condition it was when I opened it. I've had no concerns with this product what so ever. It's very entertaining to have a couple of friends over and challenge eachother.

The songs are great, and there are so many different sorts to choose from. There are slow, fast, extremely fast, and medium song melodies. If you're stuck inside on a rainy day or something, and you still want to excercise, play this.

It even has a Workout mode where you can keep track of your weight, and what it seems you've moved to after each session of DDR.

Overall, this is one of the greatest games.

Great exercise!
After playing this game at a friend's house, my son wanted it so bad he paid for it with his own money.He plays it almost everyday and it has become a great form of exercise for him. This is one video game that I really enjoy watching him play! ... Read more

This Game Is Awesome!
I think this game is really fun!!! I have Volume 3, and My cousin had volume 1 and now has volume 3, and we both think that this game is really fun. For people who love to sing like I do, This is one of the best video games ever. My friend and I play for hours. I haven't played volume 2 yet, but by looking at the list of songs that are on the game, I think it would bea lot of fun! I REALLY recommend this game!

Not As Good As Volume 3 But Still Fun
I have a few comments.First, I'm quite ticked that they have I'll Make Love To You on the disk.I would have given this disk a 5 out of 5 if it weren't for that one thing. We play this game with a 9 year old and an 11 year old.They do have it censored by saying "I'm going to take off my charm" or something instead of "off my clothes."But it helps little. (Volume 3 I have *no* complaints as far as the kids go for song choice on the disk.)

The songs to choose from for karaoke competition are as follows:
Song List (all below are "originally by"):
1) Baby One More Time (originally by Britney Spears)
2) Born to Be Wild (originally by George Thouroughgood and the Delaware Destroyers)
3) Every Breath You Take (The Police)
4) Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)
5) Genie In A Bottle (Christina Aguilera)
6) Heartbreak Hotel (Elvis)
7) Here Without You (3 Doors Down)
8) Hot Stuff (Donna Summer)
9) I Believe in a Thing Called Love (The Darkness)
10) I Will Survive (Gloria Naylor)
11) Irresistible (Jessica Simpson)
12) It's My Life (No Doubt covering Talk Talk's version)
13) Jessie's Girl (Rick Springfield)
14) Lady Marmalade (Patti LaBelle)
15) My Girl (The Temptations)
16) Papa Don't Preach (Madonna)
17) Rock and Roll All Nite (Kiss)
18) Sittin on the Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding)
19) Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
20) The First Cut is the Deepest (Sheryl Crow)
21) Toxic (Britney Spears)
22) Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai)
23) We Are Family (Sister Sledge)
24) White Flag (Dido)
Those are the songs listed on the back.Also included on the disk:
25) Cry (Waterfront? Kim Marsh? I don't know)
26) Drift Away (Doobie Brothers)
27) I Hate Everything About You (Three Days Grace)
28) I'll Make Love To You (Boyz II Men)
29) I'm With You (Avril Lavigne)
30) I've Got You Under My Skin (I have no idea. So many artists have covered this.)
31) Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye)
32) Miss You (Aaliyah or Mariah Carey??)
33) Perfect (Alanis Morissette I *think*)
34) The Joker (Steve Miller Band)
...And I think I'm missing one because the back said 35 songs. Oh well.

Sometimes we let our 9-year-old be on the Easy level, and that helps him to do just as well as we do."Adjustable difficulty levels ensures that anyone can be a karaoke star," it says on the back of the box.And it's true.

The songs were recorded as close to by the original artists as possible, and they did a great job with that. The First Cut is the Deepest is pretty much the only song that really, really doesn't sound like the original artist (Sheryl Crow). But it still sounds pretty good.You sing along and choose how loud you want your own voice versus the recorded voice to be.It works really well that way.Sometimes I wish I could hear my own voice more through the speakers, but I think that is our own setup.

I do indeed recommend this product to others.Volume 3 is the best, though!! :)

Fantastic concept, just not for me
As a big fan of the Bemani series of arcade music games (such as Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Freaks and Beatmania), I was pumped when I heard about the first installment of this game.It's basically DDR for your voice.

However, as I soon found out, my voice apparently doesn't work as well as my feet, and even though I didn't have too much trouble passing songs, hearing my own voice through TV speakers was more than a little discomfiting.

Still, when KR2 came out, I decided to give it a second chance.I was sorely disappointed at the lack of new material, though.All the songs are new, but there's not much in the way of interesting genres... only pop, a few country songs, a few oldies and a stale rock song or two.More troubling, there's only a few new venues - the rest are repeated from the first game.

The first game has an option to load an expansion disc.This game should have been made an expansion disc and we all could have saved $20.

But don't listen to me.If you love singing, you will love this game, and you'll play it all night like I play DDR.If you don't like singing - don't bother trying.

upset yet thrilled buyer
i bought kaeroke revolution2 from bestbuy.com and the handheld mic from amazon.com... a week into my play, the mic started acting up and now is broken.. i do not recommend the handheld mic

Great Game!
Karaoke Revolution is a great game. I don't have volume 1 but I decided to buy volume 2 because it looked like it had more songs that I know.You don't need volume 1 for this game to work.I may buy it later to get more songs.But I think they should have a way for you to upload more songs into the game.This has a great mix of contemporary and classic songs.My socom logitech usb headset mike works fine with this game.(At first I tried the talk net internet headset but it didn't work with this game) I really like using the headset because you can dance around and really get into singing the songs.This game is great and easy to use for everyone.I play only a couple of ps2 games so i'm that great at a lot of games but this game is great for everyone. ...

This is a half-step below the best
It's a little slow at first but you quickly get caught up in the storylines and challenges.

An enjoyable sexual escapade & 1 of the best games of 2004!!
"Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude" is the first LSL game in about 8 years, and also the first to cross over from the personal computer to home video game platforms on the Playstation 2 & XBox. As a fan of old Sierra games (even though I was too young to have played the early LSL games), I was incredibly pleased to see the series resurrected and brought to new heights!

Important note: "Magna Cum Laude: Uncut & Uncensored" has now been released for the PC, and it features full frontal nudity and none of the pesky "censorship bars" that are present in this version.

Obviously, nudity is the main selling point of this game. Anyone who says otherwise is trying too hard to justify his or her purchase. The college co-eds are voluptuous, they are animated in a sexy, often provocative, ways, and the main quest of the game is to get Larry laid. Because of the time and attention put into creating realistic (though cute in an almost-anime way), this game is more titilating than any of the "Dead or Alive" series of fighting games, more fun than any of the WWE wrestling video games that feature the strip matches, and the females are more desirable than Lara Croft ever has been.

The women are mostly stereotypical "college girls" -- we have the head cheerleader Barbara Jo Bimbo (B.J. for short), the Italian castoff from "The Sopranos" Analisa, the Russian exchange student Zanna, the hot but nerdy college professor Beatrice, and so on. Chasing after each woman requires different approaches, and the result is never the same twice. And no, Larry *does not* get with all these babes. I hate to spoil it for you, but he only has actual intercourse a few times during the entire game. But every encounter is sexy, funny, and most importantly, packed full of eye candy!

The gameplay is fun. It is not very involving and has been criticized for being mostly a string of "mini-games." That is true; however, the variety of the games keeps it interesting as you progress through the storyline. The script is absolutely hilarious, and the comedy is equal to the nudity as a selling point for this game. If you are a guy, or even a gal who likes to laugh at guys, you will laugh at Larry and the things coming out of his mouth. He rambles on a lot, gets off-topic, tries horrible pickup lines, lies constantly, and even staggers around drunk and farts. If you've ever known a man who made you laugh simply because he was, to quote Steve Martin, "a wild and crazy guy," then you will enjoy the story of Magna Cum Laude. And the voice acting is wonderful; there is not a bad actor or actress in this entire game.

Now a few words on the Mature Audiences rating: This game is about sex, (...) drinking, jokes, and other things guys find enjoyable. For some people, this is disturbing. Those people need to get a life. I can play Grand Theft Auto, in which my character is able to walk down any street and at any moment cut off the head of a pedestrian with a sword. Or gun down dozens of policemen, only to enter a cheat code and get away with it all at the last possible minute. Yet somehow, the ESRB (game ratings board) finds Larry's girlfriends more offensive when they drop their shorts. Give us a break! Violence is much more detrimental to society & to teenagers than sex is, and yet we still can't get over our fear of pixelated private parts. It's ridiculous!

All in all, I give "LSL: Magna Cum Laude" a totally positive recommendation to anyone old enough to purchase it. It was definitely one of the best games of 2004 simply because it is like nothing else on the market today: a fun, sexy romp through college life. 5 stars! 2 thumbs up! Just buy it!

NAUGHTY FUN
this game is a hoot! it is definitely the naughtiest PS2 game out there. it's terribly easy to play, but that's because it really wants you to experience it's witty (and dirty) story. you won't believe the stuff you're asked to do in this game. it's really not pornographic as in this console version "censored" bars cover up the nether regions, though the game does feature topless characters. it's about as dirty as a SI swimsuit issue. one dissappointment was that the loading screen girls, pictures of actual girls in the costumes of the game's characters, don't show as much as you might want, especially after being tittilated by the game's sex-hunt for a couple hours. but, regardless, i was cracking up the whole way through this clever, silly, no-holes-barred game. a definite rental if not a must-buy.

Where's Al Lowe?
I see that there is no mention of Al Lowe being involved with creating this.If he is missing, then I can guarantee you that the humor and gameplay quality will be missing as well, and online opinion would seem to confirm this.

What a shame that Sierra wasn't smart enough to employ him.I was looking forward to a real LSL game, not a rip off. ... Read more

Humiliation was never so much fun!
Got the game, connected the microphone, and was having a blast in less than 3 minutes.You pick a complex or simple song, choose plain karaoke, or get graded by the crowd or your friends.Connect to Xbox Live for more songs.Sure it'll cost you, but isn't singing "Jessie's Girl" to an adoring crowd worth it?

There is no mystery to this game, just flat out karaoke fun.The "bundle" part of Karaoke Revolution Bundle is the microphone that plugs into your joystick (just like an xbox live headset).

Awesome!!! Can't Wait for the next one!!
This is an awesome game!!! I love that you have to actually have some talent in order to play. I love how the microphone can pick up what note you are singing. (Isn't technology crazy?!?!) This game is fun for the person/people playing and for anybody who might be just watching. The characters get pretty animated and they glow when you sing really well. (It's pretty challenging to try to get your character to glow during the entire song! But trust me, it can be done!) The crowd watching your character also waves their arms and dances if you are doing a good job. If not, then the crowd leaves and your character gets pretty depressed. I hope that Konami comes out with more for XBOX!!!

Note: there is one downside to this game. You find yourself singing the same songs over and over again. (60 songs really isn't that many to choose from)

Needs more songs,but you can download if online w/XBOX Live
**Update May 25th** - I've had this game for 5 months and Konami still has not offered any new song downloads with the exception of the ones that were offered when the game was released on XBOX Live. This is absurd. Why no new downloads? This changes my entire opinion of the game. With no new songs to download, this takes away any new replay value this game could have had.

Review: This game took me off guard. I expected just a simple little Karaoke game with lyrics on the screen and nothing more. I never played the ones on the PS2 and really never wanted to, but when it came out for XBOX, I figured, what the heck, I enjoy singing so I'll give it a shot. In 4 words, "what a party game!" First off, Konami did a wonderful job of replicating the actual music from the original artists. The music is nearly cloned perfectly. People with home theaters will jam to this with the 5.1 Digital. The way the crowd reacts to you really gets your adrenaline flowin, if you sing bad, you're character will get booed off stage, heck, you do bad enough, the music stops--- if you do well, they will go nuts for you. It really makes you feel like you're at a serious karaoke jam. But not only do you just sing, you're also being judged! The game judges you by tone of voice and timing. It's very picky at times and when you don't know the words by heart, prepare to have a mean crowd by your side.

The different venues like county fairs, outdoor stadiums, party palaces and local bars gives the game a very realistic feel. The characters available are comical to watch on-screen and they move their mouth with yours, downright funny. The males will get a kick out of choosing the "Britney Look Alike Girl" and doing Friends in Low Places.

Up front, the music selection is a mixed bag and I won't judge if it's good or bad because different people prefer different things. It mostly included a little country, some 80's, 90's and some recent stuff. I know it's hard to make everyone happy, but the thing to do is offer more music. And that is where XBOX Live comes in. With an XBOX Live subscription (which is already $49.99 a year) you can connect online to get new songs. Of course there is no mention of charging us in the instruction booklet, but not to my surprise, there is a $4.99 fee for each group of songs. Each group of $4.99 contains 5 songs. I'm sorry, $4.99 is a rip off, especially when we may only want it for 1 or 2 of the selections. And we're already paying Microsoft to go online for our yearly subscription. Sigh. More money out the door...

And considering we spent $59.99 for the game itself, Konami seems a bit greedy. I would have liked it more if you could buy in singles for .99cents. Seems more logical. At this time "Jan 05" the downloads are pretty weak, only about 6 groups availalbe and the stuff they do have is pretty skimpy. A few 80's songs, Jessie's Girl, more Michael Jackson, some Britney Spears, Madonna, etc. Good stuff, but we need a wider variety. Hopefully over time they will get that price down and get more for us.

As a whole, I still loved this game, I'm a karaoke fan and love to jam out, other fans will love it to. As with me, some music you're simply never going to sing, or want to. The problem, some of the modes force you to sing what it chooses to continue on to earn new characters and venues. It's annoying and if it was up to me to market this game, I would make different genres of music to sell seperately instead of putting a mix of music on one game. How about an all 70's, all 80's, all 90's and "Modern" releases so people dont' get stuck with songs they'll never use. But as a whole,it's good fun and I'm lovin' the songs I do like, and the ability to download new songs is nice, but $4.99 for 5 songs is greedy and they should let you choose them individually. Duh Konami?

Karaoke Review
I found that this is a great game. Not only is it fun to play alone, but it's great for parties. You can change the levels, from easier to harder, depending on how you sing. It shows how off your pitch is, which is a great feature! I think that this is great for people who love to sing, even if you're not good at singing!

an excellent party game!
Had the chance to play this with different groups at holiday parties...from ages 6 to 75...this game was a huge hit...
The limitation of having only 50 songs is the only drawback.
Hours of hilariousness were had. It brought people out of their shells...some friends who would never be expected to sing at a party took to it like fish in water.
This was the definite hit of the holidays with young, old, hip, square etc.
I just wish I could find out how to get more songs!There is no info at XBOX LIVE about promised new downloadable songs for sale. ... Read more

The Best Sly Yet!!
This is alot longer and more challenging than the first Sly. I was addicted after the first 5 minutes! In this game, Bently and Murray are actually in the game for you to play with! Stealth is more important and you actually get a chance to pick-pocket!

Entertaining Sequel
I was under the impression that "Sly Cooper and the Thevious Racoonus" failed to find a niche, since it was a bit difficult for kids, and a bit too cartoonish for older gamers.Happily, I must have been wrong - "Sly 2" is as fun as the original, with some added dimensions that add to the entertainment value of the game.The game is more "open-ended" than the original.In each level, several missions are presented - usually a couple for each of the three controllable characters - and you can choose the order in which you tackle the missions.The use of 3 characters, each with his own strengths and weaknesses, is of course new, and in general it's an improvement, although it can be more difficult to get Murray and Bentley to certain places than may be necessary.The graphics are great - if anything, they're a slight improvement over the fine look of the original.
My only complaint about the game would be the repetitive nature of some missions.At times it in necessary to do the same thing 5 or 6 times, which can make the mission rather tedious. All in all though, Sly 2 is a worthy sequel that has apppeal for gamers of all ages.

Sly 2, The return of Clockwerk!
Here is some tips on bosses,
Dimitri, he got the beat, he's mad! once he done with his powers
give him the old one~two
Rajan, he's ticked off! Murray, you get the high jump, you need
to not get shocked from the heart staff!
Contessa, she's twice the battles, when she falls off, take a run! and there are two battles!
Jean~Bison, you probably will get a tip before Brains vs. Brawn
did I mention DYNAMITE!!!
Arpeggio, well, Constable Neyla/Clock~la kills him so he's
replaced by Neyla and you thought wrong, Neyla is BAD!

Well those are some helpful tips, so get back on the controller
and read what I told you!

Sly 2 RULES!
Sly 2 just plain rocks. it completly beats the original. In Sly 2, you can not only be Sly Cooper, but you can also be Bentley and Murray (you could be Bently and Murray in the original, but you could only be Murray when racing for a treasure key and the only time you were Bently was when you hacked to shut down the toxic gas). Plus, you get MUCH more exploring space than Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racconus. One of the best things about the game is that you can steal much more stuff (you can pick gaurds' pocket's {don't worry, its hecka easy, you just have to not accidentally touch them} to score some coins and sometimes even find stuff you can sell, and even nab something really valuable from a small stand). Basiclly, this game rules and anyone who says otherwise is INSANE!!! ... Read more

Fun Fun Fun the first couple of times, but then...
Now believe me. This game was just pure fun the first couple of times of playing it. Especially with friends. Everything seemed to be perfect. The mic worked just fine and so did everything else. I just had a blast.
But after you beat the game it just seems to become a little less fun everytime you play it more. I mean the highest score you can get it 50,000. And I always want to beat that score but the problem is that is the highest score you can get. So I don't really have anything to look forward to anymore either. I have everything unlocked as well. So what now. Looks like I will have to wait for the 4th installment. Because I'm afraid that if I play this game a couple more times I will begin to hate it.
Which will not be good.
So my final judgementis that this game is worth a rent. I mean you could buy it too but the fun factor will dissapear as soon as you have everything unlocked. But it is still good for parties.
Final Grade: C- (It's better than the second but still needs alot more improvements)

MICROPHONE PROBLEMS
AS ONE OF THE EARLIER REVIEWS MENTIONED, THE SET I RECEIVED ONLY CAME WITH ONE MICROPHONE. IN ADDITION, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF USE, THE MICROPHONE KEPT CUTTING OUT. MY CURRENT EXPERIENCE WITH LOGITECH AND TARGET.COM TO REPLACE MY MIKE HAS BEEN LESS THAN SUCCESSFUL. I HAVE HEARD OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILIAR MICROPHONE EXPERIENCES.

My husband actually has to share his ps2 now!
I've never been interested in playing games on my husband's ps2 until he bought Karaoke Revolutions 2 & 3 for me.Along with a friend and my 2.5 year old daughter, we play this game for hours and have such a great time!
I can't wait for another KR to come out, and still need to purchase #1.
This game will actually improve your singing ability, give you hours of fun and laughter, and entertain your friends and family.
:)

I had a great experience
At first i saw the PS2 only for my little brother's action games, and I thought it was unfair that only he would have games, but when we got the Karaoke Revolution 3, we (my sister, my parents and me) felt that we could also use it too. I like it a lot because it has songs i love, it has classicals, and it has songs i've never heard. The best part is hearing everyone try to reach the tones and failing, it is something you can do with your family and friends because there is music for all ages and all genders.
I LOVED IT; AND SO DID MY FAMILY

Great Game, please update description!
Karaoke Revolution 3 is a great game and worth every penny!It's the best KR yet now that we can sing duets.Versions 2 and 1 are also wonderful and my favorites ever.But, there are 3 versions of version 3.One with no mic, one with a headset mic (which is too small for most adults and has a mic that doesn't always pick up your singing), and another version that comes with the handheld mic.GET THE ONE WITH THE HANDHELD!

If you want another Mic, additional handheld mics are available here on line.I've never seen them in a store, so you might as well get it at the same time.It will also work with any Logiteck headset USB mic or the headset mic that comes with SOCOM. (It will not work with the mic from the Japanese version -and the other way around- and it also will not work with the UK Singstar Mic.) ... Read more

Nexus is great.
Nexus is the latest installment of the Armored Core series, and instead of being an expansion as some AC sequels are, this game has a whole different feel than previous AC games.

Basically in Armored Core, players are pilots of mechanized robots who take mercenary jobs from corporations and governments. In order to succeed in these missions, players must first design their Armored Cores to fit both the mission and their piloting preferences, and Nexus offers a robust lineup, with hundreds of parts from which to make a core.

In addition to simply making a balanced mech, Nexus offers a new "tune-up" feature that allows players to add stats to certain parts(ie more armor for arm parts, or more weight capacity for legs) that adds another dimension to building the perfect mech.

While players can spend hours simply building a mech(and some of us do spend quite a bit of time tweaking), the main part of Nexus is the actual missions. The missions are where players actually pilot their mech and do a specific task that usually involves attacking and destroying rival mechs.

Fortunately, the biggest gripe over the AC series: it's "awkward" controls (though the fan would tend to scoff, it was a valid complaint), is fixed in Nexus. Nexus solves this problem by fully utilizing the analog controls of the Duel Shock and makes controls accessible to both fans and interested players through simple controller options. Personally I love the delicate controls the AC series has, and the tight control Nexus continues when selecting the default controls, but some of my friends who disliked previous AC games because of the controls actually liked playing with the newer controls.


The only two problems I had personally with Nexus was the inability to sell off the original parts. Normally I would start customizing my mech immediately by selling most of the stock weapons, but that was not allowed in this game. The second problem I, and many other fans, have is the inability to replay any mission once I have "beaten" the game; instead once the game is beaten, the missions start over, and players have to perform certain ways on specific missions to get to a different branch of missions.

Sound is great as usual, and graphics are polished. Many of the parts look similar to previous AC games, but you should note the stats and try them out in the training mode before assuming they are the same parts.

Granted there is only one difficulty, and it might be a bit too easy for some of us, the balance of the game, as well as the newest feature of Hanger weapons(allowing players to have small backup weapons when they drop their primary weapons) which makes the game much more strategic and in my mind the best improvement in Nexus, and the fact that Nexus has two disks(one being a remake of missions from previous ACs) makes Nexus a great game for both veteran Ravens and interested players who are finally catered to in this release.

A great game.

codemaster
one of the best games i have ever played, excellent graphics and excellent gameplay, the only thing is that it's just to darn easy to beat, but that's why there are two disks

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

Fun, engaging and exciting sequel...
There's been a lot of negativity brewing about this latest release in the DDR family, but with a much more accessible tracklist and some newer American hits (Move Your Feet, Planet Rock, Kids in America) as well as some forgotten DDR favorites, DDRMAX Extreme is definitely a good follow-up. It doesn't merit the criticism it has been receiving.

The gameplay is essentially the same, and with the addition of background dancers to choose from, players can not only beat levels to earn new songs, but they can also earn new dancers, as well as the different modes of gameplay (Party Mode, Endless Mode).

While the selection of songs might be more exciting than DDRMAX 2, the difficulty of levels is essentially less intimidating and more accessible to DDR beginners, save for naturally challenging tracks (Legend of Max, Drop Out, Maximizer). Hence, those players really seeking an EXTREME gameplay experience as the title suggests will be slightly disappointed.

Yet, as more songs are earned, players will have the opportunity to earn deft remixes of several of Extreme's hit songs (B4U, Higher, Drop Out, Tsugaru, Ecstasy).

In addition to the other PS2 releases in the same family, DDRMAX Extreme should a welcome component to anyone's collection.

Uhhhhhhhhhh..... What Happened.
Many People (including myself.) love Dance Dance Revolution Alot!!! Some people go as far as to do nothing else but strut their stuff for this game. But DDR Extreme while tring to make a better game loses something very good. Long gone are the vertical scroll menus and are replaced with a supposedly easier menu. Konami made the menus easy for beginers, but experts will fumble around a while looking for a hard song. The color system for the songs are non existnt and you have to enter two or more menus to get to a song. This does make difficulty selection a bit easier because now you select the difficulty before the song. So those who didn't like double tapping the up and down arrows to select diffculty will be relived.
Oh yeah the songs are sometimes a level off when it comes to dif. a song that is 7 dif. will probally be a 6 or 8. The songs ARE NOT THAT GOOD!!! for every good song like Tusagaru (sorry for the misprint.) there are 10 song that are not good. Instead of party mode, they should have put more songs on there. My advice: wait until next year, Buy the Japanesse version if you have an import PS2, play at the arcade, or play last year's edition (which is probally the best version.)
Die hard fans and newbies will love it, the rest of us, just walk away slowly. Very, Very, Slowly!! (P.S. I'm Not a kid and no i'm am not a adult either.)

The greatest game ever
I recommend this game for people who love to dance, are active and like music. You`ll enjoy either playing with a friend, starting a workout diary and much more! There`s some really cool songs like move your feet, y.m.c.a, and only you. Practice to master ddr. Keep cool, don`t jump around on the mat on fast songs, just practice one foot at a time like i did. You can also use the controller on 2 player but its best to use the mat.Maybe you could practice with the controller first to get the hang of the game. I hope you purchase this really cool game (don`t forget the mat!!!) and enjoy it!

Best Video Game Series In History
An ultra fun video game that gives a good workout just seems too cool to be true, but there is a game that has those attributes:DDR, which is easily the best game ever made for sure!

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme and all the other DDR games out there are 2-D games with one major point:Dancing with your feet.You have a dance mat (or stage) where you tap your feet on the arrows planted on the mat, trying to step on the arrow labeled the same direction on the mat as the arrow that scrolls up the screen, trying to tap your feet on the arrow at the same time the scrolling arrow is inside the outlined arrow in the same direction.There are five (or six) ratings you can get for your accuracy:Marvelous (Not on a regular game), Perfect, Great, Good (Which should really be Average), Almost, and Boo.You want to get the first ratings I listed, and not an Almost or Boo, or else your dance gauge (Which kind of shows your health) will start to slip until it runs out and you lose a song.At the end of the song, you can receive an overall grade, depending on your overall accuracy, of either an E (Which you get for failing a song), a D (Which you get for surviving, but receiving a poor score), a C, a B, an A, an double A, or a triple A (Which you get for receiving a perfect score).

When you first get the game, you start with 44 songs, and you can unlock 26 more songs for a grand total of 70 songs.To unlock the hidden songs, you must clear songs about 5 to 10 times with at least a C rating.Once you win about 5 to 10 times, a new song is unlocked.The first song you can unlock is called Scorching Moon, and the last one you unlock is called The Legend Of Max.You can also unlock new dancers for dancing in the backround in songs without real music videos, but I never use characters (Having a character is optional).

The Party Mode, which is new for DDR Extreme, is a futuristic-style way to play video games, as you can dance with both hands and feet while seeing yourself dance, although you need the camera for PS2 to do so.Being able to play with both your hands and feet while watching yourself is genius, and must be extremely fun to do.The Hands And Feet Mode is likely the highlight of the Party Mode; the other games are too simple and easy.

Along the way, you can unlock two new modes:Mission Mode and Endless mode.In Mission Mode, you dance to different songs with an unusual task to win.Be careful about the visual tricks that are used in many of the songs in Mission Mode.In Endless Mode, you keep dancing until you fail with a randomly chosen character.The songs that you dance to are randomly selected.The problem with it is that I might end up with the ugliest character in the game to use:Rhythm, an ugly barbie girl that's hard to look at.

The Workout Mode in the game allows you to keep track of your fitness, and allows you to figure out what you should be doing to keep yourself healthy.If it's on, you'll see how healthy of a workout you got after you finish dancing to a song.Your score will be better if you play fast songs like Drop Out or either of the Paranoia remixes, so play those songs if you want to get fit quickly.

The training mode is a mode where you cannot unlock anything, but you can practice the different songs in the game without being stopped by failing and without the thrilling backgrounds.

Finally, I'll take you to the information mode, which gives info about all of the different songs in the game.It tells you if the song you're studying is from a previous DDR game or not, what you should try to do while dancing to the song, or what kind of music it is.According to it, plenty of songs from Dance Dance Revolution Konamix have been brought back, but only three songs have returned from DDRMAX2.

But why is this 2-D game that has the same goal over and over again so great?Well, there are certainly several reasons why:

1. DDR Extreme has a total of 70 different types of songs to choose from.You can find the type of music that's best for you.From a typical energetic dance song (B4U), to a song that's easy to recognize (YMCA, Waiting For Tonight, Like A Virgin), to a jazzy song (On The Jazz, Funk Boogie), to a Japanese pop star song (Firefly, Pink Rose), to a supercharged song full of energy (Drop Out, I Feel...) to a song that combines a whole bunch of styles together (JaneJana, Do Me HIGEO Mix, Make It Better), to a theme song from a movie (Never Ending Story, Enter The Dragon) to even a classic song from previous generations of DDR (.59, Drop The Bomb), there's destined to be a song that you'll enjoy.
2. The replay value to this game is incredible, since you can build up your mad skills from beginner to expert, trying to successfully receive all Perfects on songs.You won't want to stop!
3. If you like video games, but you're out of shape, this is a game that can help knock off your weight and keep you fit.I've lost six pounds playing this game since November.I've never been very fat in my life, but I've suddenly started to love working out ever since I started playing this game.Awesome!

Then again, there are some downsides to this game, but minor downsides:

1. The host of this game gets on your nerves easily.Fortunately, you can shut him off when you're dancing, but not when it's most annoying:When you fail a song.His quote, "W-w-what?" is super annoying, as when he speaks in Japanese.
2. Our dance mat is very low quality.It has a huge tear in it, and it moves everywhere, while I get Boos out of nowhere.Then again, the problem with the metal stage is that the arrows are planted low in the mat, and it's harder to step on the arrows than with the mat.

Now, I'd love to grade the songs availible in this game in terms of how much I like their sound.

- DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution (Best Song:Hysteria)
- Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (Best Song:Firefly)

Great for all ages!
I'm a 46 year old mother of 4, and I got this game with two game pads for the primary purpose of 1) getting some exercise indoors without being bored out of my mind, and 2) having a fun game to play with my kids that involved more than sitting on the couch and pressing buttons.

On both accounts, DDR Extreme succeeds beautifully.It's easy to learn the basics using the tutorial, and the rating system makes it easy to find moves within my skill level as I get better.Since each song has several levels of difficulty, and the players don't have to be on the same setting, it's just as much fun playing with my eight year old as it is with my sixteen year old.

I invested in a pair of top quality DDR pads, with one inch thick foam inserts, so it's easy on the feet, even though my legs don't usually like high impact activities.In workout mode, you can set it to be low impact only, but I like the choreography better high impact.

DDR Extreme may be redundant if you have other DDR titles, but if you don't, you will be well pleased with the song list.I have an Eye Toy, and have tried the Eye Toy games, but they are just gravy. The dancing is the meat of the game. ... Read more

A Great Time
Our whole family has had a BLAST with this game! Highly recommended for the whole family, parents included. Even my Dad, age 69, grooves with it.

either is good
this game is dance dance for your arms. it is fun but not too challenging. all you do is put your hand in the right shape when called. and don't belive th create your own dance thing and the calorie thing and the two player thing and the songs are reduced. tçin create a dance, you make a dance but if the game dosen't like it, it comp0letly changes giving you a
pisicly impossible routine. this feture is better in dance dance. and the two player thing is complete nonsenes seeing as how it donsen,t tell you who should hit the marker which causes confusion and possibly colission. and the calorie thing geusses homuch you lost. and if you belive it, you better have good math skills because if you don't. youn won,t be correct, eve though you'll be wrong anyway. there is so much to say but my las sentances is the stars i gave this game are sympathy stars

Super fun AND great exercise!!
Eye Toy: Groove is incredibly fun!I was skeptical about how the gameplay would work until I tried it out at Best Buy and then I was SOLD!The technology is amazing, it really picks up movement well.You don't have to be able to dance in order to play, just be willing to flail your arms around like a fool.Multiple modes of play means it doesn't get too boring (although the song selection is somewhat limited - hopefully Groove 2 will be forthcoming).The songs are fun, though, not as good as Amplitude but much better than DDR.Once you get into it you can really get a great workout!Our arms and shoulders were very sore the next day, as well as our legs just from bopping to the beat.

Our only objection so far is that it seems you must enter your name after every single time you play.Since no controller is involved, you have to enter your name by waving your hands around and selecting the letters.For some reason these targets seem less sensitive, so entering your name wears you out at least as fast as actually playing.We just got the game yesterday, so perhaps we'll figure out a way around this as we keep going.

Coolest thing I've ever seen!
The day Eyetoy: Groove came out I bought it! It requires hitting, waving, swiping and a lot of movment! It even has a calorie counter so you can see how many calories you have burnt! Also TWO people can dance at the SAME TIME! Here is a tip for all Eye Toy players: when it tells you what to do in the beginning push start on the controller and it will skip it!

EyeToy Party! My House! Be There!
Man let me tell you how good I am at this game. I suck at DDR but man oh man I can really tear through this one like tissue paper...WORD! If you've played EyeToy Play, Groove is pretty much the beats game in it with the cds and the speakers. Its a lot harder though cause the make you do different motion other than fist fist fist fist (you guys know what I'm talking about) It got REAL SONGS and most of them are REALLY BAD SONGS!!!! I just wish there were more modes to this game, its kinda all the same. But I'm gonna go practice and the try out for the next Wade Robson Project. ... Read more

Quite good
This is much better than "Eye Toy Play". Overall, the games have much more depth. Eye Toy Play's games were too simple, and I had no motivation to try the harder levels.

I've tried all the games except Crazy Taxi and the soccer one. Personally Crazy Taxi doesn't seem all that interesting. My favorites are Nights, Super Monkey Ball, and Samba De Amigo. Many of the games are just plain hard, and your arms will get tired real quick. This can be a good thing depending on whether you want a workout.

One complaint: the targets in Space Channel 5 seemed to become unresponsive when the beat got faster, so I'm not even able to complete easy mode. It could be the lighting, but all the other games seem to work.

It is a waste of money.
The SEGA Superstars game is a defective product. I purchased the game disc from Best Buy and tried it in my Playstation 2 console, but my game console can not read the disc. I am not even sure if I can return the open package to SEGA or Best Buy, but surely I do not recommend others to purchase this game. It is a waste of money.
I also saw another kid who was complaining at Best Buy that his mother also bought the same defective product, and the family regreted buying the product.
SEGA should make sure the their product is manufactured properly and make sure that it is compatible with the console they want to play it with, in this case, the Playstation 2.

it sucks
Maybe something is defective in the disc.My Playstation console can not read it. Therefore I can not play the game. My parents say it iswaste of money. Kids, don't buy this product, you are not sure if the product works, and you will only be wasting your money.

AMAZING AMAZING AMZING!
when i got this i thought it would be good but not this good its awesome theres sonic on it house of the dead crazy taxi space channel 5 and 8 more its great. Its alot alot better then eye toy play 2 i mean on this(what i mean by on this is sega superstars) there is easy normal and hard for every game and on some ultra hard. Also when you take pictures first of all its just normal but if you get a second new record you get a photo with what ever game you played (for example sonic if you get 2 new records you get a picture with sonic and shadow)and also the games are alot funner.

note: on sonic if you complete easy normal hard then you unlock shadow also if you get all emralds you turn into supersonic and you destroy anything (havent done it with shadow yet)also if you complete nights in hard then you get a bonus level and on puyo pop fever if you complete all difficultys then you unlock free mode and last but not least samba de amigo complete all six songs on hard and unlock six more songs

this game is amazing and you will not get bored of it thats a promise.

The bestEye Toy game to date
I bought this product for my kids and they love it.My son love the soccer game.My daughter loves the Super Monkey Ball game.There is a little bit of everything for everybody in this game.This is turning into a great family game night product.

monster hunter
in this game you would first create a character and when you finish creating that character you cant change it.
you would first start out in a village .you could do Quest like gathering items or slaying monsters. you could create weapons usig items from items that you have gathered.you could go online using the Network Adapter and play with friends and do quest.

Capcom struck a winner
If you think capcom dosnt make good games then you need to check out this game. It should be the best game of 2004. Lots of fun.If you dont like games that take for ever then i dont think you will want to get this game. Rent it first. If you have broad band then i highly sugest this game. I here people get this game and 2 or 3 others for themselves but only play monster hunter. It is because it is so adictive to play. I cant seem to put the controler down. There are so many twists.

Even if it is a great game it still has flaws.
Flaws:
-no multiplayer offline
-the camra is not the best
Greats:
-Online is so fun because you can do even more stuff then offline
-monsters have weaknesses too
-there are so many weapons and armors it is hard to get them all

So overall I give it a strong 5*'s.

The best game of 2004
Nothing is better and more addictive than Monster Hunter. If you get board offline then, go online and never be bored. I play it all the time. So just go and play it.

A game with great potential but also with nasty flaws
Wow, impressive. I wonder how many games that Capcom has made that, while being great and all, have some nasty flaws that'll drive you nuts saying "They could have easily fixed that, why didn't thay?" Not to say that MONSTER HUNTER is a bad game, it's acually pretty good, but the things that are/aren't in MONSTER HUNTER will make any smart gamer say "What were they thinking?" To start off, You are just a normal villager who's on his/her way to become a monster hunter(notice I said "his/her," you can customize your hunter before the game starts). You get money, and sent on your first quest. During a quest, you are allowed to search for items for selling or combining for money or other, stronger items. The item creation system in MONSTER HUNTER is deep, very deep, so deep that it adds replay value to the final game. Also during a quest, you probably won't become used to the controls for a while. Why? Because they kinda suck, you use the right analog stick for attacking with downstrikes and jabs and slashes. This isn't anything like Metal Gear Solid 2 where you push the right stick to make Raiden slash that way, pressing left, right, up, or down will only make you jab, slash, charge, or smash whatever's in your way. Plus there's no targeting system which only makes things harder and more frustrating. The camera sucks too, it's set to the d-pad and unless you're blessed with two thumbs in one hand, it'll be hard to play with much precision. There's a good amout of weopons to choose from, and weapon types. You can make armor and weapons that you get from monsters. This game has a lot of potential, but too bad the final game came out like this.
