AWSOME!!!
DDR Konamimix is very, very, very, ect. fun!! It is great for working out and losing weight!!!!! I was introduced to this because my school had it!!! belive it or not the princable lets us play with it all recess!!!! I am planning to by this game to enjoy it more that ever!!! YAY!!

DDR<333
Only problems with Konamix, to me, is that it's not set up like the arcades (which is where I play half the time) and "basic" mode is the same as light on the other games (thought it would be standard). Other than that, it's great.

As for accessories, I got one of the really thin mats and it quickly got destroyed with friends who don't know how to pick up their feet and the mats would get scrunched up into a pile. So, I invested a bit more in a mat with a 1" foam insert and now, I'm putting forth a bit more to get a metal dance mat.

(I put 1 star for educational, because the most I see you getting out of it is a good work out and foot/eye coordination...=/)

Tight Game, but its missing something
I hate video games, but DDR is to good to be considered a video game. This game has helped me build stamina and quick thinking skills. DDR Konamix has an awesome song list with the original Paranoia and this is the only US release which features the very complicated Orion.78[AM-EuroMix] So why would I give it four stars? Because you can't use speed modifiers.[x1.5,x2,x3,x5,x8]
I know most DDR fans don't really care something like that, but some songs on here are impossible to do with only one speed.

This game is still a good buy, but I recommend DDRMAX or DDRMAX2 over this one.

A full fledged hooked on game
This game Rocks! For ps it has great graphics. And as an owner of the whole set of DDR games, you should listen. I like Yuni and Emi personally. Take my advice, get the game.
If only I had a memory card for ps.

Great fun and workout!
This is a fun game! Every day at an arcade I see many kids there playing this game!They simply love it!I highly recommend buying this game! There are 52 songs to try! Theres even a workout mode so you can actually see how many calories you burned!GREAT! ... Read more

SPYRO ROCKS!
I have all the Spyro PS1 games and they rock! The best PS1 games you can buy.
I have Gateway To Glimmer instead of Ripto's Rage though, but they are exactly the same but with diff names and covers.
All the worlds rock, and it's nice to see more friends to help Spyro on his way to beat Ripto- and when you finally beat him, the game still isn't over! How cool? There are many skill points to earn,a amazing new level- the cool Dragon Shores, and a permanent fireball!!
If you have a PS1, you have to play this game!

Spyro!
Spyro fun aholoic sweet game!!! Very fun but not hard, it can be very very easy but it is alot of tottaly wicked fun!

Great, but not Insomniac's Best
I was a little bit disappointed with this Spyro.Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game, but Insomniac could've put a little more effort into it.With only three worlds and about twenty-one levels, this game may only be for true Spyro fans, but, I strongly encourage you to buy this game.

Spyro second adventure!
The first Spyro was great game already, but this game beats it by far. With loads of new features and tons of new characters, this is one of the best Spyro games out there. In this game you get to travel through 4 new worlds with over 30 colorful levels with your old buddy Sparx and your new companion, Hunter, the cheetah. You must collect over 14 tallismans and 60 orbs to finally come face to face with Ripto. Also in these game, meet Moneybags. He can open up doors or drop bridges for you at a "small fee". Some new features in this include some fun mini-games, the ability to swim, and some new power-ups like the super charge, super flame breath, and super flying power. Here an overview of the game:

+Improved graphics 8.5/10
+Challenging but not too challenging boss battles 8/10
+Autosave 10/10
-Not enough new abilities 7/10
-Levels are a bit small 7.5/10
-Storyline is a bit bland 7/10

Overall, a great Spyro game. It provides lots of entertainment and lots of fun mini-games, therefore, it's a MUST-HAVE!

This ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is awesome! From the moment I got it I have played it like a maniac! This is a MUST HAVE! ... Read more

PERFECT!
I am a die-hard Spyro fan who is really into role-playing games. This is probably the best and I mean the BEST game ever made for the Playstation 1! It has wonderful senery and neat new characters.But listen to me and listen to me well, If you want to buy this game, you must buy the GREATEST HITS version with a bright green bar where it says Playstation. If you don't there is a bug on a speedway level which prevents you from completing the game. I suggest that you get it at a retail store to be sure that you get the right one.

Gr8!
I playd this game at a friends house and it is brill. Try it for yourself!

awesome!
spyro is sooooooooooooooo cool anyone anywhere should get it.i play it everyday and my brothers are obsessed with it.its all they ever talk about.

Go Spyro
My son and I have beaten both Spyro 1 & 2 and got 3 this Christmas. We love it. Spyro can do more things and the "areas" are great. We haven't tried Spyro 4 yet and after reading many reviews I am tempted to not try it at all. This game was worth waiting for the price to drop.

spyro!
one day my dad came home he had a surprise!it was spyro year of the dragon.i made him play it three times!these days i know howto do it myself. i know headbash jump headbutt good look flame glide hover and swim.if you like spyro get this vidio game! p.s.plays ps2 to,and you shoud see what happens to moneybags at the end when you headbutt him. ...

A Fun Puzzler NOT based on Tetris
This game will be very familiar if you've ever played Zuma online( PopcapGames.com ).Ballistic isn't as aesthetically pleasing, but gameplay is identical.I find myself coming back to this game often, even as the more fashionable games are beaten, traded-in, or given up on.The key word here is "value"; you won't pay much but you'll play much.This game is family-friendly, easy to play, and the light reggae and piano music between games is a nice touch.Go ahead and get it and start wasting some time!

Fun, but short
This game is very addictive!There was only one thing about this game that I did not like, and that was the length.We just received the game last week, and I have already gone through every stage in the stage mode.There are other options though, like two-player and Panic mode.

Another great puzzle game!
The Playstation doesn't have a lot to offer puzzle fans, so this new offering is really welcome. Similar to the game Bust-a-Move 2, Ballistic requires you toshoot different colored balls toward a spiral. Matchingthree or more balls of the same color causes them to disintegrate. Playends when the balls overrun your ball launcher. My wife, who is usuallyaverse to video games, picked up the play mechanics in about 10 seconds. Icouldn't tear her away! A great one or two-player game that's sure toappeal to the whole family. The game also sells at a bargain price. Highlyrecommended. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Rampage World Tour is a fun remake of the old 1980s arcade classic.You are a mutated human who has grown to colossal size by an experiment gone wrongat the highly dubious Scumlabs International. In your newly formed mutated state, youplay the part of one of three Godzilla-size monsters: Lizzy the Dinosaur, Ralph theWolfman, or George the Gorilla. Your task is to eat as many civilians and to destroy asmany cities as possible while on a rampage of revenge against Scumlabs.

As you travel around the world, climbing and smashing buildings, leaving destructionand carnage in your wake, the only thing standing between you and a festival of urbandemolition is a paltry bunch of tanks, rocket-pack soldiers, and police cars. Even if theseguys manage to take you down, they pose no real threat--the game offers unlimitedreplays.

What makes Rampage World Tour so addictive is the fun of punchingholes in buildings, downing planes with a single kick, and cannonballing thoughthe roof of the local courthouse. In two-player mode, you can also fight othermonsters, but the main fun of the game is still to be found in unrelentingdestruction of high-rises, hot dog stands, hospitals, and every other kind ofbuilding imaginable. In short, the game revolves around quick-and-dirty masscarnage.

The graphics are true to the original game's style while being a strongimprovement over previous versions. The game interface is easy to learn, andphony news reports and the antics of Scumlabs scientists provide a humorousintermission between levels. So if you have ever wanted to grind the majorlandmarks of the planet under your heel and stomp out to sea, RampageWorld Tour is for you. Allen Stewart

Pros:

• Fun, cartoony, movie monster mayhem
• You can work with or against a friend
• Unlimited replays keep the focus on just having fun--not on winning levels
• Punch through a wall, and screaming occupants or other treats may be revealed

• Gameplay is very repetitive
• The cities tend to look alike
• Very little plot

A fun Game
In this game you get to eat people.Trasha destroy major cities like new york.One of those fewgames you can beta with out using the cheats.I own this for playstation. Have not played it for a while.

Might play ita while since I will make progress on it then i did on Kingdoom of hearts.If you enjoy this game I recomend Rampage 2 Universal tour and RampageWarp through time

A fun game... for the first 20 minutes!
This game was quite... what's a nice word for it... bad. I don't completely remember, but I think this game was given to me for a birthday present or something, so I do feel bad for whoever it was who gave it to me... what a waste of good money. Sure, at times it could be addicting, but it's way too repetitive and too long.

I think I'll sell it the first chance I get. I don't care what kind of games you like, don't get this one at all.

Good for a beginner......
We got this game for our son when he was four years old.He wanted to play with his cousin who was ten.This was is a good starter game for a child who had never used Playstation before.Rampage was easy enough for him to learn without getting frustrated.The repetition helped him learn the controls, the "lives" are unlimited and the graphics kept him interested.Now that he is six he still enjoys the game and he now has the dexterity to play more intricate games.

Gets old FAST
Fun for two-three hours and then will collect dust.

Editorial Review

What's more fun than a barrel of opposable-thumbed simians? How about the silly--butchallenging--Ape Escape? While not the first game to offer enhanced control with Sony'sdual-stick analog controller, Ape Escape is the first game to require either an analog or dual shock controller to play. That requirementensures that players will have full control of their hero, Spike. One stick moves Spike in any direction,while the other swings his monkey-catching devices.

In Ape Escape, a circus monkey named Specter stumbles upon a scientist's prototypeintelligence-enhancing helmet, turning him into an evil monkey genius. As Spike, the professor's youngfriend, you must travel through time to clean up all of the monkeys Specter has sent back in his attempt torepopulate the world. If that's not enough to make you laugh, then chasing his goofy monkey minions asthey scurry from your clutches will certainly tickle your funny bone. You'll discover a variety of gadgets tohelp you in your quest, including monkey radar, a slingshot, and a propeller for flying. Spanning 25 hugelevels, Ape Escape is approachable for novices, and offers added challenges for veteran gamers.One such challenge is to lure a dinosaur near a rocky cliff, and then jar the monkey off his back and intoyour net. Note: no monkeys were harmed in the creation of this game. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Unique control scheme brings new challenge to the PlayStation
• Massive game has plenty of replay value

• Unique control scheme requires some ramp-up time

WORST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!
This game is definitely the worst game I have ever played, and believe me, I've played hundreds!! This game is soooooo boring and I don't understand it at all!!!! The graphics are blocky and the music is sooo annoying!! I set this game aside as soon as I played it for five minutes!!!! This game is NOT worth the money! If you want a good game, I'd recomend "Final Fantasy X" expecially, or "Harvest Moon."

Too much fun
I was bored one day, and was watching my mother-in-law play Ape Escape 2.Looked like it was fun, and less stressful than some of my other games that I like tend to be, and borrowed her copy of the first Ape Escape.

It starts out simple enough.You catch a few slow monkeys and learn your gadgets thru tutorials.But then it gets difficult.My 3 year old daughter loves to sit on the bed with spare control in hand and help catch monkeys.The graphics are nice and the storyline is fun.The gadgets are cool too.

Only one complaint, and that is that the camera angle loves to change when you are at the most challenging parts.Anytime you need to use your flying thingy and it's for going somewhere difficult, the camera changes and you can't see where your destination is.It gets a bit annoying after you die a few times, but I did eventually get past the frustration and finished the game. This game is great for young kids and adults alike.

MONKEYS !!!!!!!!
What can be more fun than running around chasing monkeys? the are plenty of levels and gadgets to play with. The only downside is that the paddle boat is impossible to control in my opinion. Each monkey has its own charateristics and weapons. just trying to run up and snag the monkey doesn't always work. special gadgets must be used first. Pretty much run around the world getting rid of monkeys using gadgets. The game is pretty explanatory but is loads of platform fun. also includes minigames that can kill some time with friends.

Just one more ape...
Ape Escape consists of more than 20 3D levels based on a variety of time zones. To clear a level, Spike (played by you) must capture a set number of monkeys. After filling that quota, you must access the next level. Reaching the monkeys will require you to jump, sneak, swim, climb and fly through a variety of situations.To help you on your way, you are given a net and a lightsaber type stun club.Throughout the course of the game, Spike will collect six additional gadgets.In addition to providing the means of completing future levels, returning to previous levels with new gadgets will allow Spike to capture any monkeys he left behind. In addition to monkeys, each level has tokens to collect. Collecting enough tokens will open minigames.This game gets addicting pretty fast.

Really Cute!
I bought this for my four-year old and he liked it.I guess the idea of catching monkeys really appealed to him.I tried it and I liked it.The game is fun and challenging.Only, it is a bit fast paced when catching the little fur-balls.Fun for all!! ... Read more
