    5-0 out of 5 stars 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) ;)

    4-0 out of 5 stars 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.

    1-0 out of 5 stars "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.

    5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

    5-0 out of 5 stars 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

    Product Description

    You're Jak, a quiet hero in the making. Jak and sidekick Daxter are playing on Misty Island a wee bit close to a pit of Dark Eco. Daxter falls in and crawls out looking like a fused otter and weasel. The two visit the village's local wise man, the Green Sage, to transform him back. But the Magical Ports from one island to the other have shut down, and the only way to reach the more knowledgeable wise men that could help him is to embark on an adventure, of course. In every region there is a strange conspiracy around the concept of Eco that adds another layer to the game. Dark Eco is deadly, or at the very least, mystical and strange. Jak and Daxter's world is filled with all kinds of the mysterious element known as Eco. Green Eco gives life, and it's contained in chests and containers all across the many environments the pair encounters. Blue Eco provides energy, speed and opens doors, and Red and Yellow Eco provide energy and the ability to cast fireballs, too. Races, a collection of minigames, enemy chases and timed events are all part of the gameplay. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars jak and daxter
    that was a good game but please go back to makeing crash games.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Pretty good...
    Ok, I thought this game was pretty good. But hey, I was only eight when I got it. I've seen alot of people saying it stinks. Most of these people are allowed to Ratchet and Clank. I've never played it. I'll put it in specific terms: if you aren't allowed to play alot of T games, this game rocks.
    Pros: Awesome graphics
    Cons: Too short

    1-0 out of 5 stars Boredom beyond our deepest nightmares...
    ...also known as Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legasy. This game is all about running around a silly free roaming 3D world while beating up repeative enemies you have seen 15646 billion times earlier and collecting tons of crap. I got this game a loooooong time ago. It was fun at first, but then came the titles that could exterminate this game: Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet2, Ratchet3, Jak II, Jak3, Sly Cooper, Sly2, The Urbz, Sonic Heroes... the list is long. Now lets talk about the game's features:

    Pros.
    Okay graphics.
    Cool scenery.
    Free-roaming action adventure.

    Cons.
    Crap voices.
    Insanely boring missions.
    Veeeryy repeative combat.
    Only 3, count them THREE bosses!!!
    Soon gets annoying and frustrating.
    Sooooo easy.
    Very short.
    Zilch replay value.
    Jak is a MUTE!
    Doesnt even compare to Crash Bandicoot.
    Stupid music.
    Almost every mission involves some Eco boredom.
    Zoomer missions are frustrating.

    Now see: 3 pros and... about... 13 cons.
    That means this game is just a smelly good-for-nothing excuse of an game. I dont play this game anymore, it just collects dust while I entertain myself with REAL titles. They are too many to count so I wont count them.

    Graphics: 6.5
    Sound: 3.0
    Gameplay: 4.7
    Replay Value: 1.5
    Fun: 2.0
    Overall: 1.0

    Final Verdict:
    THIS GAME SUCKS!
    Avoid it, run away from it, stay away from it, whatever, just do not, I repeat: DO NOT BUY IT!!!

    2-0 out of 5 stars all about jak an daxter
    I praise the good lord that I only rented this game for 7 nights. To be honest it didn't 4 nights. The game is toooo easy and simple. On top of that it is tooooo short. However it was fun for the short 4 nights that I had it. Naughty dog used to the good games like Crash Team Racing and Crash 2 my favorite out of the first three. But this junk errr game or game wanabee is just the example of how good companies can screw up BIG time. The one time I about it is the hoverbike but that is about it. So go out and get a real game like Spyro the dragon:Year of the Dragon which should be cheaper and better than this junk.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Boring
    This.. game... STUNK!!!!!!!! Do not play. The storyline is absolutely stupid. The missions arent even fun. Just dont play it. It's just a waste of time and money. ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not realistic
    Unfortunately many of these games are not realistic.The only way to get that kind of experience is in a real cardroom or playing online.If you are going to play online, make sure you visit a site like www.gotbonus.com for more information.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Not great but certainly worth the price tag
    First off for the record i can't get enough of Poker, and this game for the most part is exactly what i wanted in a PS2 game. I don't plan on playing this online (lets face it there are alot of better online options then any console game could ever deliver) but as an at home single player game it's certainly a solid game.

    The game does have a couple problems which keeps it from a better score though. Most importantly the computer controlled characters can be a little predictable (very few real players check as often as the A.I. does in the game) and i wish there were alot more options for types of games such as five card draw.

    However despite those problems there is much to like such as the huge 60-100 person tournaments and the ability to track your long term success and build a bankroll.

    A great practice tool for the beginner or the more experienced player and a nice relaxing change of pace from alot of the other games i enjoy playing.

    If you love poker how can you really go wrong for $20?

    1-0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Money!!!!!!
    This game is a great How to Play learning guide because of the variety of Poker Games available but let's face it. Everybody is playing hold em these days. The offline play is horrible on it's most difficult setting. The play of the AI will never make since. The only place to have fun with this game is online and that has continued to do nonthing but get worse. I've completely stop playing this game there are just too many other free options that move alot quicker and it's easier to get games started. Setting up a game or finding a game to play in is by far the most difficult task and I'm almost never successful setting up one online, I'm always joining someone else game and sit & go's are never available. This game has a ton of potential should they choose to make another version for next it could be great. Possibly ad some multiple table options made be just what they need to do make hosting and joining games easier. They need to look at their internet competition and beat them. Online is where it's at for real gamers of any sort and this games online interface is horrible. Not to mention win you bust a player an a high limit the player simply shut's off his machine as not to lose the money he's played on choosing to record his positive earnings. There's no way to make people play the game the right or sort the good player from the bad player by virtue of their bank roll. Ex. You start a game with $100,000 and lose it, just turn off the game reload your character and bame theirs your money. This pronblem wrecks the gameplay not to mention what happens when that person is the host if the server doesn't migrate correctly then the entire game is fragged.

    This review: was inspired by a review written on gamespot where the writer praised the online play. I was so appauled that I had to write a response everywhere I thought it counted. While you can find a game online with WCP alot of the time you are playing somene else's.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Solid Game - If you like Poker
    If you like Poker and the different variations then you will most likely enjoy this game. The customization of your character is pretty detailed and a nice touch.Other reviews have stated the game is too slow, I have not found this to be true.I would say the pacing is just about right.By tapping the X button you can move things along if you are out of a hand. Sit and Go games and tournaments are fun.Only gripe I could come up with(this is a amatuer level) is that computer player checks too much, keeping me in hands longer than I should if I am fishing for a card.A raise might have forced me out.Maybe at the pro level it is more agressive. Do not play online but I can guess it would be fun, but if just playing at home I still recommend.If you are trying to satisfy your poker jones this is a good start.

    1-0 out of 5 stars the long and boring game
    if ya buy this game hoping to learn any new games like texas holdem don't get it. it is too slow playing after you loose your hand beter to buy the casino game not as much detail but plays faster more enjoyable this plays till the other characters play down to 2 players and it gets boriong watching it not like watching on tv. ...

    4-0 out of 5 stars Monkeys Roll On!
    This is the newest installment of the series. In case you're wondering if this game is on Gamecube, IT'S NOT! A PS2 disk is 4 gigabytes. A GCN disc is 1.5 gigabytes. It needs more than 1.5 gigabytes. On to the review!
    This is basically Monkey Ball 1&2 with 100 new levels. I'm not saying it's the best though. Yes, the graphics are great, there are 12 mini-games, etc. That's true; that's why I gave it 4 stars. There are some things that have been messed up, badly. 1 thing is the menu. It is so choppy! When you move level-to-level, it takes forever. To surprise, this wasn't messed up in the other games, even on GCN! I would recommend this IF you don't mind choppy menus.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Hours of fun!
    Join the Super Monkey Ball Sensation!

    So you look at the title, thinking "Super Monkey Ball...?"
    Well, the game isn't just for kids. This game uses actual physics to have you roll a monkey around into a goal. But you can fall off by hitting moving objects, miss a landing pont, or just by accident.
    What got the good reviews about the Super Monkey Ball series were its mini-games.
    You can golf, race, bowl, shoot in dogfights or other people, countless hours on one mini-game.

    Note:

    If you look for fast loading, and good graphics, but sharp movement, I suggest the XBOX version.
    However, if you don't feel the need to buy a XBOX, the longer loading time, and the framerate is tipped down a little, PS2 is right for you.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great game.. !!!! Everyone should be playing this..
    If you're into party games, this one's for you. Played a few levels in story mode and that was great and quite addictive, but the Mini-games, in my opinion, is where this game shines. You have a wide assortment of these little games with different version for each, all of them great fun to play with another person or a whole bunch of people. And at $30, the price is just right.

    Get yourself a multi-port, a bunch of friends and you'll be laughing, crying, and cursing for hours.

    THIS GAME IS PRETTY GOOD. I LIKE THE WAY IT ALOWSE YOU TO PLAY IN DIFFERENT UNIVERSAL CENTERY ERAS. AND HAS SO MANY MOBILE SUITES.THE ONLY BAD THING IS THAT YOU CANT WALK ON THE MOON BUT YOU CAN LAND ON SHIPS AND CARRIERS.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great game
    This game is a continuence of journey to jaburo so you can expect something good from it. To tell the truth it's just a mix of all 3 games Fed VS zeon, Zeonic Front and Journey to Jaburo in terms of charactoristics like stratagy and graphics. Game play is great with several different stories and modes. Everything about this game is great but the on level inside the colony which kinda sucks.

    4-0 out of 5 stars This is a great game for gundam fans
    This is a great game to put it simply, its a must have for a gundam fan. Once you get used to the controls its fun to play but its a little diffucult at times.The redone anime scenes are great. Its best to do everything at least once in this game, I say this because you will earn more things. This game isn't like federation vs. zeon you will not be doing all those fancy moves. But it has more mobile armors and this is all space and one level with some air combat in the texas colony.

    Heres a tip for the battle of solomon in white base mode
    you will be told to protect two salamis cruisers but instead of quickly destoying enemy mobile suits to protect them, let them be destroyed or help destroy them, doing this will make the mission longer allowing you to earn an S.

    And i know this is a horrible review.

    4-0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Gundam Game Ever
    This Gundam game is the best. The new combat system and anime scenes from the series will really blow your mind. The best edition to the game is the many mobile suit to choose from. My favorite Gundam on this game is the RX-78GP03S. I recommend this game to people who loves Gundam and shooters. Buy this game now. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Fishing Game Yet
    This is by far the best fishing game yet for the PS2. I bought thi sgame, and played it, then bought several fishing games after this one, and this is still the only one I play. Sega has outdone theirselves on this one. The controls are the easiest to use. The graphics are incredible. The realism is very close. You have numerous lures to choose from, and you earn more by winning tournements. The fighting factor is very real as well. This is one of few games that you can actually move around in the boat anywhere you want, most just keep you in a stationary place. This game is highly addictive also. It's very hard to just play a quick game, I catch myself playing all night 'til the sun comes up. This is by far the greatest video game value you can get. I recommend it for all people that love to fish, as well as those who have never held a rod and reel in their hands. Highly recommended! A must buy! You can't go wrong with this one.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Much bettter than the first!
    Ape Escape 2 is a highly entertaining, fun game. The music is great, my favorite songs are from the Simian Citadel level and Lookout Valley. The other levels have great music too. It also has some new gadgets like the Bananarang, the Water Cannon, and the Magnet. New vehicles include the summerine, Snowmobile, and the Pipo Mech. In this game there are 300 monkeys out there to catch and over 20 vast levels. The storyline isn't to in-depth but it's creative. My favorite new feature it the Gotcha Box, where you can trade in your gold coins for some fun secrets that can be viewed at the entertainment center. These various extras include: Monkepedia, Enemy Photo Album, Secret Photo Album, Movies, Soundtracks, Monkey Fables, Art Collections, Bonus RC cars, and Mini-Games.

    There were some problems in this game though. One was that they brought back the Boat. The boat is probably the most hard-to-control gadget in the game. I've tried and I've tried but I still can't seem to get the hang of it. Maybe you'll have better luck than me. The Tank is another ridiculous gadget. Another down side to this game is the 5th monkey in the Freaky Monkey Five. He is nearly impossible to beat. It is impossible to dodge his spinning attacks and his flaming attacks. I am still stuck on him.

    Well anyway, I'd recommend this game for you if you enjoyed the first Ape Escape, it's even better than that one.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Not so good, but...
    Ape Escape 2 is not so good but it works. Really. The graphics are good, the music is good, the voices are terrible and the gameplay sucks. The tank vehicle is so boring it has gotta be illegal. But this game isn't so bad. That's it.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Very creative - great fun for kids!
    The reviews here really surprise me a lot. It's hard to believe that such a fun (and funny) game could get so many gripes. However I notice that most of those come from people comparing it to the original which preceded this title by 5 years. I think UBI Soft intentionally abandoned those players and aimed this game squarely at today's young children (5-12) rather than the teens that the original's players are by now.

    Given the target audience, I think the difficulty level is appropriate and even challenging at times. This comes from the fact that the controls are very different from ordinary games, though they are perfect for this one. The buttons are used merely to switch between your many devices rapidly while all game controls actually are executed with the 2 joysticks. It works quite well once you get used to it. It also requires a bit of puzzle-solving and critical thinking for young children to determine which device is best for a specific job.

    The main point is that the game is just plain fun to play. The action is fact-paced but not stress-inducing. The presentation is refreshing. The graphics are good but nothing stellar. A key is that the big bosses are very funny and novel. Who but the Japanese could present as a major enemy a petite, karaoke-singing monkey girl who grows enraged after you disrupt her chance at stardom? Others are equally zany.

    Honestly my kids (5&9) love this game and revisit it often. My son often plays the Monkey Soccer mini-game even when he doesn't want to play the normal game; and it's knid of cool that the only monkeys that you can add to your roster are monkeys that you have already captured in the real game. My daughter loves the Dance Monkey Dance mini-game. Rare to find a game that girls and boys enjoy equally like this one. Highly recommended for kids... not good for teens or more edgy audiences.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Greatness gone bad.
    There was a hint of brillence in the first ape escape that you could really admire.The game tested you in many catagories, and in the end, you were a better gamer than before.But that was five years ago, and it seems that gamming standards have fallen greatly.
    I think the biggest creative mistake the developers made was waiting so long to create a true sequal to the debute title.I mean think about it. The first game was made almost 5 years ago now, meaning the audience it was aimed for at the time is older now.If they had raised the E rating to T, it would have given the game a lot more potential for a more exciting and creative plot.It's safe to say that the 'original' fans of ape escape were pretty shocked when they played this game.You can really tell which of the reviewers on the cite played the first game and which ones didn't.This game pretty much alienates it's former fans with childlish dialog and way too easy gameplay.
    As for the characters, you can't really be satified with any of them.With stereotypes of your everday after-school anime shows, this game really disapoints you.And no matter what some reviewers say, this "jimmy" is Ash from pokemon.Whoever said it wasn't, is beeing mistaken by the replacement voice over that the pokemon series used in later seasons. But that aside, it's really annoying, and I liked the original characters more.
    Even with all the flaws that this game so readily displays, there is one fact that you cannot ignore.The graphics have without a doubt gotten much better.But obviously that wasn't enough to cancel out the rest of this games problems.
    Even tho stories don't really matter in games like this, this story pretty much annoys you to the core.Sure it was sorta cute at first to see specter in the opening scene, but if it werent for that, the story would be flat out lame.
    Well as you can tell, from my point of view, this game wash incredibly dissapointing.I don't think I'll ever think about ape escape the same again.It went from the coolest game ever, to the coolest game ever with the stupidest sequal.It's just amazing how many flaws this game had, campared to how awesome the first game was.After you beat the first game, you truly feel like you've accomplished something by beating such a difficult game.But when you beat the sequal, you feel as if you've finally completed some tedious never-ending chore.
    Yes, many things went terribly wrong in the creation of this sequal, but you can never destroy the classics and that is a relief!But if you won't take my word, and the word of all the other 'original' fans, play this game and wittness the horror yourself. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars AWESOME game! Futurama continues to rock on!
    I absolutely LOVE this game! I've replayed it from beginning to end about 3 times now, and it' so much fun. This game has very high replayable value - you'll want to play it over and over again. The game isn't too easy or too hard - it's the perfect game to not get sick of playing.

    The creators stayed true to the show's humor and characters as they wrote a clever script for the game and included a half hour of little movies and cut scenes to watch in between levels. I was so excited to see that Billy West (Fry), John DiMaggio (Bender), and Katey Sagal (Leela) provided thier voices for the game. I love how the characters talk as they're going through ther levels. Fry says funny lines like "Fry Day - get it?" and "Come and get some!" Some of Bender's lines are "You gotta feel sorry for that guy!" and "Look out mechanical liver!" Leela has some cute lines too such as "A full-day supply of vitamin hi-yah!" and "It's not polite to keep a lady waiting." Dr. Zoidberg (Billy West) also makes a cameo in the game - my 4th favorite character! Professor Farnsworth (Billy West) is also in the game, as well as Hermes and Scruffy but they don't have any speaking lines.

    I absolutely love the detail of all the levels. The game starts out inside Planet Express and as Fry you can roam through the ship's hangar, conference room, lounge, etc. Roaming PE gives you a really good idea of how the inside of the building is set up. It wasn't really until after I played the game that I paid attention to the backgrounds more in the show as I watched them. The colors in this game are vibrant and gorgeous and I LOVE how the game is like playing a live animation cel - the characters move smoothly through the game and it looks just like them!

    If you're a fan of "Futurama" you won't be disappointed. You must buy this game - it's awesome! ***** 5 Stars all the way! :)

    5-0 out of 5 stars It's Futurama The Game Man!!!!
    Wow, this is a great gaame for ps2 based on the hit series
    by Matt Groening. The game has all the voice actors in the game, and an original story to boot. There's over thrity minutes of
    cinematics, the action is top notch and the laughs are over the top.

    Futurama the game reunites the casts from this hit series, Billy West, Katey Sagal , John Di Maggio as Fry, Leela and Bender as they try to stop their evil mom who has bought out Planet Express and plans to rule the universe. She enslaves humanity and makes the earth into a moving killer robot reminiscent of Unicron from Transformers!! The graphics are really awesome, you also play through each characters collecting different items and foiling moms plan. All I can say is get the game if your a Futurama fan, you wont regret it.

    3-0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Futurama Fans Who are also Gamers
    I was very hesitant to check out this game when I had heard it come out... And I am a DIE HARD Futurama fan. It's almost a sort of rite of passage that in order to become a TRUE Futurama fan, you need to play this game (not necessarily finish it, but play a good deal of it)...

    The storyline seems like it was a rejected episode idea- but apparently an idea good enough to make into a video game.
    The gameplay is a LOT of fun- rather simple moves in such vast, demanding environments. The characters each have their particular gameplay so that once a level/character gets rather tedious to play, you either end up doing something completely different with the character (i.e. with Fry, instead of running around shooting at people, you hop into a chicken walker and rely on blasting all these robots to bits) end up finishing in time to play a new character with his/her own different moves/motives.
    And moreover, It stinks to have to collect items besides "health items" along the way (i.e. Bender collects those jewels from the episode, "A Cyclops Built For Two"), but it's worth it to get the special stuff in the end.
    Oh! And the environments contain little gags and quirks from the show, much to the delight of this veteran Futurama fan.

    I doubt that anyone who wasn't a Futurama fan would truly enjoy this game, but it's an upbeat, light-hearted game. It's easy to get the hang of, but still takes a long time to play, even if you're a rather skilled gamer (let's just say it's not so easy to stay alive from time to time...). I wholeheartedly recommend this game for all Futurama fans and maybe to the gamers who also enjoy the Simpsons and sci-fi [spoofs].

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great
    I see a lot of bad reviews for this game right now but I think that Futurama fans should go and get this game. Especially now that it's only 20 dollars. I beat the game in like a year because I stopped playing at one point then played again. Don't listen to the bad reviews this game is great. Some levels are really hard but you can always use cheat codes. You play as fry, leela, bender, and dr.zoidberg. I also have to say that the game is like crash bandicoot so if you like those kind of games then you most likly will like this game. The cutscenes are also very funny. The problem with the game is that you have to collect all the nibblers in a level to unlock stuff and to unlock cutscenes which sucks because it's sometimes hard to find them all and I would like to unlock the scenes after I win the level not after I win the level and collect all the nibblers. Also the camera is also very bad because it doesn't always follow you which may cause you to die. Anyways if you like Futurama go get this game!

    5-0 out of 5 stars If you like "Futurama&am p;quot;. ...
    Dear shoppers at target.com, If like or even love Matt Groening's creation of the TV show, Futurama, then you will love this product. I ordered this product about May 12, 2004, and I got it May 15, 2004. Just to let you know, if you get frustrated real, and I mean real easy, consider rethinking. This game is fun, but it gets real hard. The music in the back round gets annoying if you are mad at the level. And DON'T EVEN TRY TO USE CHEAT CODES!!! You have to hold down the L1 and L2( for playstaion 2 only) until the screen flashes, and it takes a long time for it to kick in. I haven't tried because I've sat thier for a long time just holding and waiting for the screen to flash. Over all, this game is very fun and the things the characters say is pretty funny. Play as Fry, Bender, Leela, And Dr. Zoidberg as you save Planet Express from the evil Mom and her kill bots. See, Pro. F. sold the company to Mom's company, and that gave Mom power over 50% of Earth. If you like Futurama.........BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars pretty good
    I just played it and it's pretty good. the colores are great and it's a pretty cute game although I hear the old one is better. I haven't played it so I don't know much to say but it's pretty good. It's what comes to you. You might find it better than the classic for SNES.

    1-0 out of 5 stars NOT nearly as good as the SNES one!
    I must say it is not nearly as good as the snes one, because all the extra features they add to the game do not enhance the game at all, they actually made the game worse. This game is mainly testing the gamer's aiming ability, of course there are alittle thinking such as how to make alot of bubbles fall at once. With this in mind, why did they make the colors so crazy bright and whats with all the fireworks and bubbles poping graphics? A game like this, you would want to make the game environment color soft as well as minimal distractions, so gamers can actually focus and see whats on the screen! Basically, I keep asking "How can I set the colors not so bright, so I can or want to focus on the screen?", "Can I disable the popping graphics as well as the fireworks,etc...? They annoy me and I can't see the bubbles!", "Why are all the character's graphic and storyline graphics so nasty? These are areas that actually should have all the cool graphics, because they do not distract the gameplay of the game! A baby could have drawn those pictures!". Well I returned this game...

    4-0 out of 5 stars Perfect price, fun game!
    This is a nice, colorful update on the original classic puzzler.Although I admit that it wouldn't really be worth it when the game was new and more expensive, it's definately good now that its way cheaper.Gotta check out the new one, also, I haven't played it yet, but if it's an improvement on this already fun game, it'll be great!

    1-0 out of 5 stars this game is great if its cheaper
    this game is like any other bust a move games and i believe that this item should me only 20 bucks. if this cost any more then that i recommend u shouldnt buy it. all the moves tricks colors are all the same to me. i personally give this a 5 STAR rating but looking at the price... well... u know...

    4-0 out of 5 stars SUPER BUST A MOVE 2
    Althought the title might not reflect it, this indeed is the second version of this popular game for PS2. The basics are still here, with some neat changes and additions. But to continue the classic Bust-a-move fun this would be a great game to get! ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Eh.
    First i want to say, the gun they give you for this game when you buy it is a piece of junk. I don't want to be too harsh, but honestly, the thing blows. I bought another ' controller ' for this game to play 2 player. ( I got a laser gun.. it kinda hurts when it shines in your eyes.. ) This game is worth a buy for someone a fan of shooting, obviously. I enjoy the shooting mini-games they threw in this game.. even though there were only 2 or 3 of them. There is one that is a retro kinda game where you shoot little plates. That game can then be upgraded though to a newer 3D game where you shoot plates. Another one is just shooting a target. I am really good at it, if i do say so myself. But the thing about this game though, it's like playing an arcade game at home. And it really is some good fun. ( with two people. )

    5-0 out of 5 stars just like the arcade
    this game is just like the arcade version. it would be better if u could play online though. it is a good game. u can get hooked on it for weeks.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Probably the greatest video game I've ever played
    Time Crisis II RULZ!!!!!! I remember playing this classic in the arcade with my friend years ago. Then, today when I was at a Slackers with 55 bucks in my pocket saw this for about 50 bucks and thought, "What the Hell. I'll buy this." Well, it was a great purchase as I played it for about 3 hours. This game is just a great classic. I'm so glad that the geniuses at Namco made this gun controller to go along with the game as it makes gameplay more exciting and easier. Buy this and you won't be dissappointed.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A Good Buy
    okay, now time crisis is known for being an extremely fun light-gun shooting game, and it provides maximum enjoyment, maximun replay value, and even bonus games. most of the bonus games are arcade games, such as "agent training", and in my opinion, all of the bonus games are pretty lame, but the crisis missions are very fun and sort of challenging, (if your pretty experienced, then you can go through about 20 of the missions the first time without screwing up)as the missions start getting really hard on the fifth day (they are divided into days) also, time crisis 2 portrays nice challenges to get extra stuff to do in the arcade mode, such as: 1)if you beat arcade mode twice, then you unlock the option of unlimited ammo; 2)if you beat arcade mode without continuing, then you unlock the option of mirror mode, where the screen is flipped around and left is right and right is left (it doesnt sound like its much, but when you do it its a whole new experience). now onto the review....

    STORY 4.5/10

    As Time Crisis is known for great gameplay, it is also known for crappy storylines. The story is pretty much linear: rescue the kidnapped girl and stop diaz from launching a nuclear sattelite. As the story is not that great, the voice acting is not that great either. This game is not about story, though, so do not worry about it too much, as you will grow used to the cheesy storyline and acting

    SOUND AND MUSIC 8.5/10

    GREAT music during gameplay. it makes me actually pause the game and listen to it. They even remixed the original Time Crisis music so it sounds a little...rock-ish. The only problem I have with the music is during the cutscenes, the music makes me want to rip my own head off, along with the person who made that music, as it is that annoying.

    On a very positive note, the sound effects are astounding. The gunshots sound very real, the grunting of the men when they fall to their death makes it seem you actually are in the middle of a crisis battle, producing some fun there.

    GAMEPLAY 9.5/10

    The gameplay in this game is extremely fun and addicting, allowing you to play one or two players at the same time. Namco has also added a quite original and fun way to play the game: double gun mode. This mode lets you play with two guns at once (apparantly), and if your thinking, reloading is not that hard. but beware, your accuracy percentage is sure to go down quite a bit. The only thing I think they should have added on are shields for the enemy. Just one shot will kill the enemy, making it a little too easy there. In order to get a real nice challenge, I put the game mode on Very Hard. But do not worry, the game is still very fun

    GRAPHICS 9/10

    Extremely good graphics, as water looks like water, lasers look like lasers and so on. nothing more to say

    REPLAY VALUE 10/10

    This game is a very fun game, and you have different experiences each time you play different modes such as regular 1p, two-player, double gun, and mirror mode. I recommend that you get this game and play with a guncon 2, not a guncon 1

    5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
    Time Crisis 2 is my first shooting game I got for my PS2 and so far its one of the best.....Haven't heard of or played the game until I saw it at the arcades and decided to get the game. I took the risk as a used game at a gaming store saving me about $23. The game AND the gun work great as a pre-owned game....So far its fun cuz you get to blow up a few stuff(ex.: a gas truck behind two cars and an enemy group). I recommend this game for shooting game fans. ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Sweat Game!!!!!!!!!!
    This game is realy fun.You get to cause car wreaks,you get to blow up your car too.The only thing that's bad is your timeline.40 seconds to get halfway across L.A.Overall this game is great!!!!!!!!!

    1-0 out of 5 stars Don't even waste your time
    This is an abysmal game. The graphics are an insult to the PS2's capabilities and probably even to those of the original PS. It's terribly boring, and you'll get sick of its repetitive play before you even get to winning the other stages and cars (you start out with, oh, maybe one or two). The cars are slow and lumber through the racing stages, which have no actual tracks. The controls are terrible, and sound is mediocre. Liking the movie is no reason to buy this game.

    Forget what you've heard. You are not going to pull off the ultimate heist. Your adrenaline will not rush. This is no high octane racer. If you're looking for good racing games on either the PS or PS2, I'd recommend any of the Grand Turismo series, or my personal favorite, Ridge Racer 4 (PS; 5 is for PS2).

    2-0 out of 5 stars It needs a lot of work.
    Eidos interactive didn't put enough effort into this game. This is one of the most boring games I have ever played! When you run into things you only see a small amount of sparks and you dont see any dents. this is just a really unrealistic game. I could find better graphics in a PS1 game. Don't even think about buying this game, if you do you're wasting your time.

    Graphics 2/10 - Don't even ask me.

    Gameplay 2/10 - Okay, but not great.

    Replay value 2/10 - It needs more options.

    Missions 1/10 - Not fun.

    Multiplayer 4/10 - It's okay, but won't hold your intrest.

    Story line 3/10 - Follows the movie.

    Bonus features 2/10 - Not worth seeing.

    Free roam 3/10 - The worlds are tiny and there are only 2.

    Controls 6/10 - Easy enough for anyone to understand.

    Music 3/10 - Nothing that makes you say wow.

    My final rating out of 100 = 28 / 100.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Boring Game
    I don't think I'm overstating my case when I say the only difference between this game and the PS1 game of the same name is the graphics. The original PS1 game had horrible graphics, but at least you could blame that for the horrible gaming experience. This game has nice graphics, but the game play is dull and annoying. You either have to race around too fast and miss the ending point, or you have to drive really really slow following someone who you cannot lose no matter what for four or five minutes at a time until your brain turns off. So, STAY AWAY, this game is a waste your life..

    3-0 out of 5 stars Just OK
    This game has a pretty cool concept, however, in the story board mode, it isn't much fun.Timer goes way to fast, and you must replay the scene several times to get it right (hope it's not just me).The rest of the game is OK, and even in story board mode it is, I'm afraid to say, a bit addictive. ...

    3-0 out of 5 stars Not too shabby
    For the price, this is a pretty good adventurer game.The action is single-player with one character in a predetermined plot sequence.The graphics are well designed, though the overall game architecture is very similar to the way games were developed in the early 1990's, and the developers do not take advantage of the more advanced capabilities of the PS2.

    Good for a few hours of entertainment...

    5-0 out of 5 stars A fun new role for Donald Duck
    It's fun to see Donald Duck turn into an action hero. With the aid of a talking supercomputer named "One", Donald has to rescue a bunch of scientists that would help him defeat an alien invasion of Earth. He's given the name "P.K." - initials for latin words that stand for "energized duck", as well as a costume, gadgets, and a new speaking voice to keep his identity secret. The game itself is easy to play players of all ages, with lots of bright colors and sharp graphics, an old-school platform adventure game.The uses of the diffrent weapons Donald has keep things interesting as it goes on, and the game has a "techno" music sountrack that gives it some snap. There's also some neat 3D animation that sets up the story, with animated episodes mixed into each new level that Donald enters. I don't believe this game is being promoted well at all though - it may
    be overlooked by other Disney-related offerings. With a price tag of around ($$$), it's a great, fun, buy. ... Read more

There have been other cartoonish games before, but Freaky Flyers is the first to try replicating a cartoon universe so completely from the inside out, starting with the very physics. You will explore open and interactive 3-D world environments like the lush and tropical Danger Island, the wild west of Coyote Canyon, and chaotic, exotic Arabia. A branching adventure takes the player through each character's storyline. The 13 engaging characters include Johnny Turbine (a mixed-up, wannabe movie superstar), Cactus Rose (a two-gun-slinging bandita), and Island Jack (the laid-back native and ambassador of mellow). Skill-oriented stunt flying provides the thrill of doing dangerous aerial stunts, racing modes offer easy-to-learn, hard-to-master aerial excitement, and dogfighting lets you battle other pilots for air supremacy. ...

    1-0 out of 5 stars Freaky Flyers???
    The game is mediocre IF you TURN DOWN the VOLUME. The music haunts you and taunts you and will be stuck in your head all day. Don't forget to drop your pacifier because your in the navy now. Oh great now that song is in my head again. Saftey Procedure in case you come in contact with Freaky Flyers with the volume up: Remain Calm. Plug your Ears. Finally scream really loud and run. Just don't waste the money. Go buy a diffrent game.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Finally, an improvement on Mario Kart!
    It's been a long time since I've enjoyed something half as much as Mario Kart -- it set up the non-serious racing genre and Crash and similar, while fun, have been nothing but also-rans. But Freaky Flyers came along and introduced a number of things just right! The aerial controls are every bit as nice as the brief air portionso f Diddy Kong racing, the environments are varied and amazingly detailed (you'll LOVE the fort!!!), the characters and movie clips are FUNNY, and the competition is MORE intense than Mario Kart (for once! thank you!). The races feel close, and if your heart isn't pounding by the end of the race, you're doing something wrong. I've been playing this non-stop for a few days now, and I LOVE IT!!! :D

    5-0 out of 5 stars Freaky Flyers: Thumbs Up
    If you like cartoons and racing, Freaky Flyers is a winner. The cart game offers cool open environments and a fun cast of characters, from the bumbling, movie-star wannabe Johnny Turbine to the split personality Myrna Bookbottom, who turns into hellraiser Margaret Basher when she gets angry. I particularly like Tracy Torpedoes, a German experiment gone either terribly wrong -- or depending on your taste -- amazingly right.

    As much as the characters are neat, the real meat of this game is the racing, which is flat out challenging. The goal of Freaky Flyers is simple: Win the race. The game kicked my butt more than once as I worked to figure out the best way to avoid running into trees or pasting myself into canyon walls. There are plenty of powerups and surprises throughout that make getting into the front of the flying pack easier, once you know where they are and how to use them. Some powerups can be won by flying through them, others require very controlled target shooting.

    The first level, Bigfoot Mountain, pits flyers against a gnarly twisting canyon bristling with pine trees, villages, dams, waterfalls and tunnels. The program won't let you fly over obstacles, so it takes some real skill in tight corners. The graphics are solid here, as long as you don't get too far off the main course, where things get a little sketchy. I tried flying close to several bigfoot creatures and they weren't quite prepared for me. They kept jumping up and down in an odd, rigid way. Meanwhile, I was running 9th in the race and losing bigtime. At the end of the game, the announcer told me in a kindly but firm tone to put down my controller and “step away from the screen.

    Luckily, I didn't take his advice. Level 2 took me to Coyote Canyon, another curvy raceway where the speed picks up in a big way. Powerups ripped by and I found myself under attack from other flyers more often. Every plane has unlimited gatling guns, so squeezing off shots isn't associated with the usual problem of where to find more ammo. Some powerups give you rockets, which let you turn the competition into a satisfying flaming gumbo.

    Level three, Bandito Attack, changes the scene completely. Here you have to protect a fort against heavily armed dudes in sombreros. If you spend too much time picking them off on the ground, their bases in the hills will shell your fort into smoking ruins. If you spend to much time attacking their bases, the pesky sombreros on the ground will... turn your fort into smoking ruins. This wasn't easy. The game doesn't give you any powerups at this level and you're almost totally on your own.

    The fourth level, Thugsville Chicago, gets more complex and brings in sub characters while notching up the race speed even more. The urban landscape provides tricky canyons of apartment buildings with clothes lines, burning homes (which you have to put out) and more stationary attackers.Onesubgoal is to get the police chief back to headquarters. Luckily, powerups areeverywhere and smart flying rather than shooting seems to be the best strategy.

    Level five takes you to an Arab scene that is mostly underground and not easy. I don't know how many more levels there are, since I'll admit I'm kinda stuck at level five for the moment. That's a good sign that the designers didn't build this game to be a throw away. It may look wacky, but the software is every bit as powerful as more traditional guns N violence or sports games.

    The contoller is very responsive in Freaky Flyers. I spent a good deal of time learning to limit my stick movements or I'd go screaming off the race course and get hung up in a mountain pass. The music is good, if a bit repetitive, and there are movies locked among the levels that give you more information about the stories of each character.

    Each game takes about 5 minutes to play, and if you win, they can be shorter.

    Sound was a bit repetitive and I found myself turning down the volume.

    All in all, Freaky Flyers is fun and challenging. You won't be sorry you bought or rented it.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great environments, great graphics
    I really enjoyed this game - more than I thought I would.I was a fan of kart racing games in the past and was looking for a 2003 version with all the bells and whistles.This game has been fun from the start and has kept entertaining for about 14 hours so far.It has wonderful graphics, large boards to explore and race through, cool characters, multiple airplanes to race with and good sound effects.

Motion-captured characters move realistically through intricately designed sets, while a series of animated cutscenes continually develop the plot.

    1-0 out of 5 stars This game needs to stay "Hidden!"
    This is the first time that I have ever reviewed a video game online, yet I felt it reasonable that I do so since it only took me four hours to beat this game.I must say, for renting this game for $3.00 you somewhat get your money's worth because you can see the ending before you have to return it, but I honestly feel horrible for anyone that purchases it.To be frank, there is no need to even have a memory card for this game.Everytime you die, you can just continue and beat the game within the time that I had just mentioned.So, in essence, the time built around this game is very short.

    The same can be said for the development of it.For a Playstation 2 game, the graphics were horrible.They were sloppy and choppy all at the same time.I had trouble shooting, distinguishing who was the bad guy, and overall why I was spending four hours of my life on this game.The camera movement throughout the game will definitely have you cursing like a sailor within the first hour, but as just as you get used to it, the game is over.

    The story is poor/pathetic without really any emotion behind it.Nearly Playstation 2's entire catalog is better than this game and I do not suggest it to anyone.

    Grade: * out of *****

    4-0 out of 5 stars Horrible game
    Boring and stupid are two words that come to mind.Don't bother.Zero redemming value to this game.

    1-0 out of 5 stars One of the worst games ever...
    Wow. I didnt think a game could be so bad. Its not even worth a [money] rental fee at [local store].
    These...are the many CONS
    If you play 2 or three nights, an hour or so each time, badda-bing, badda-boom, and you're done with it.
    You die all the time. You just always die, die, die, and then you always restart, restart, restart.
    The camera angles SUCK!! I floats around you, and it goes left, right, backwards, forwards, diagonally, above, below...it is the most irritating thing!!
    The levels are stupid, and have nothing to them. One minute youre walking around and you press a button, and then you walk through a door and you're done.
    The graphics...better than some games but nothing to celebrate over.
    Once you've finally beaten the game (over the course of those grueling TWO HOURS!!) it feels like you've accomplished nothing.
    So, DONT BUY, DONT BUY, DONT BUY!!!!! (Or even rent!! Its that bad!!)

    1-0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed
    This is a run around and beat up the bad buys with punching and kicking combo's. The game tosses in the ability to use different type of fire arms, and instead of just trying to beat up all the bad guys to complete the level you must follow some objectives (ex: defuse all the bombs in XX amount of time) to make it through each level. I'm usually a BIG fan of these types of games, ever since I started playing Final Fight at the old arcade I've been hooked. I usually try to find and play all the other "beat'em up" style games out there.
    Starting with the first problem I noticed with this game is the very annoying floating camera that follows you around. It constantly gives you strange angles to play in and when in 2 player mode the camera angles situation is much worse. There is a button to reset the camera behind the back of your character but I want to beat up guys, not constantly try to find a good camera angle!
    The lack of type of attacks is another let down. Maybe I just didn't discover all of the moves, but you basically can do a punching combo, a kicking combo, and a punch then end with a kick combo (not even a jumping attack added, what game character can survive without one of those??...*humour*). Like alot of other beat'em up games you can grapple your enemy, but you're just limited to punching them or throwing them when you grab a hold of the bad guys. You cannot combine the different moves to have a more creative combo. It's just too simple for me to keep interest in it.
    Last thing I didn't like about the game is your constantly getting knocked down. The bad guys are pretty ruthless and are always taking aim with their guns, and doing single hit knock downs. You'll find yourself constantly flying to the ground.

    There's alot of higher quality games to spend your time with out there. Pass this one up.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Invade THIS!!!
    The only thing games like Hidden Invasion are good for is an excuse to write bad reviews.
    After playing Eidos/Core's Fighting Force for the PlayStation One, I didn't think 3D Final Fight rip-offs could get any worse. Then I played Hidden Invasion, which sinks so much lower: the camera is so fussy it's difficult to tell whether the REAL game here is really finding and defusing bombs or just trying to maintain your vision. If I remember well, the controls aren't that responsive either. The graphics are okay, but nothing spectacular.
    If you still have to play this game just to know how bad it really is, con a friend/enemy into renting it, play it once, then never play it again. ... Read more
