Amazingly Fun after All These Years
Did you used to play with your Atari set for hours and hours? How about the classic arcade games like Battlezone and Crystal Castles? They're all in this collection!

This is just an AMAZING deal - you get over 80 complete, original games in the pack. I am in my 30s and haven't played many of these games since I was a teenager. Yet when I jumped into the Adventure game, I immediately knew all the maps, where to find the keys, were the dragons would be lurking. Playing Yar's Revenge, I became hooked for quite a while, remembering all the techniques to win the game. Somehow my brain has been hard wired to remember these things, and it's really cool to go back to a game now and say "Wow, I had TONS of fun with that!"

There are even full scans of the manuals, so you can read each manual from cover to cover if you wish.

In addition to all the Atari console games, you also get the original arcade games like Battlezone. I was a HUGE battlezone fan, driving my tank around and seeking out the enemy. It is so much fun to be able to play it at home!

It is just astounding that they fit all these games onto one CD. I used to scrimp and save for weeks to get just one cartridge! I would have thought it was a miracle back then to be handed 80 of them in a box and told "here, have fun". I would have played for years on end.

Sure, the graphics are old-style. You get blocks of color without much detail. Even on a big screen TV, it's sometimes hard to figure out what the maps are telling you. But that is part of the charm, of course. Lunar Lander is just as much fun now as it was then. Hangman doesn't need good graphics, nor does chess. Those mind games are a challenge no matter what they look like.

I really don't see a downside here. You pay one price for that CD and you literally could play for years. Each game is complete. There are games for every age group, for every gamer type. It really does prove that in the end, a great game isn't about sound or graphics. It's all about the design.

A must buy!

Worth it alone for the arcade ports
I bought this primarily for the real arcade ports. I have had a look at the 2600+ games and there's as awful as I remember them. So that portion, whilst extensive, is only there for a nostalgia kick or if you absolutely have an old 2600 game you loved. The arcade parts are great though. My friend owns a real Asteroids machine and so I know how spot on the arcade version of Asteroids is. Plus the games store your high-scores - an important aspect I think.

Everything is included - overlays, controls, side art and backgrounds are visible to give the true arcade look. They can even be toggled on and off if you'd rather play the arcade game fullscreen. Lots of background info is included as well as fun challenge modes and enhanced graphic options.

If you want pure Atari arcade conversions this is the one to buy - the 2600 games and the background info and extra graphics are just the icing on the cake.

For the price you can't go wrong. Recommended.

This would be better if original controllers were available
I played Atari 2600 and 5200 games incessantly as a kid. When I saw this on the shelf recently it was an instant buy. While the graphics and sound are the real deal, I didn't much enjoy not having the original controllers to play them with, like the trackball, spin wheel, or paddle. Also, I could do without having to "zoom" in past the arcade cabinet facia just so I could have the game "full-screen". In any event, my favorites are on here, including "Tempest" and dozens of others. Not bad.

Arrrggghhhh!!!!! Ripoff!!!
I SHOULD HAVE NO STARS UP THERE BUT I MESSED UP AND I CAN'T CHANGE IT. Red Baron is still messed up like it was in the PC version. THE TANKS AND OBSTICLES IN BATTLEZONE ARE BLACK!!! YES BLACK! TOTALY SCREWED!!! THE FIRST BAD XBOX GAME!

Here is some good news. The Game Cube Rebel Strike 3 has the old ATARI STAR WARS ARCADE GAME AS A HIDDEN BONUS!!!! Select options chose passcodes enter rtjpfc!g then enter another code timewarp to unlock Star Wars enter freeplay to earn tokens it might even have the empire stikes back game too but I don't know.


I agree it realy sucks that they left out 2600 Basketball. I said so in my review of the pc version. Champinship Soccer was another good one they left out. Why why why why why????
Agggghhhhhhga!! Just saw somtehing called an Atari Flachback system. It looks like a 7800 system made by the people who make those game in the controler type games. The Space Invader one I got is realy sweet. It has Pheonix which kicks butt.

Atari Anthology For Xbox But No Atari 2600 Basketball?
So now you can play most all of the old Atari arcade and home games on the Xbox. They are very well done and are really really just like the originals. The graphics are excellent and look exactly like the originals, and the sound is superb. The game-play is just fine except some of the paddle type games can take a little getting used to. Here are some highlights of what you get:

ARCADE:
Asteroids, Battlezone, Centipede, Lunar Lander, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, Space Dual, Super Breakout, Tempest, etc... You can adjust or change the controls, game-play, screen size, and original cabinet art. Bonuses include pictures and documentation of the original cabinets, sales flyers, manuals, etc...

HOME ATARI 2600:
Asteroids, Battlezone, Breakout, Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, Super Breakout, Yar's Revenge, Football, Baseball, Golf, Adventure, Realsports, Steeplechase, Swordquest, Night Driver, Bowling, Video Chess, Combat, Hangman, and many more. BUT NO ATARI BASKETBALL! You can adjust or change the controls, game-play, and screen size as well as view the original instruction manuals. Bonuses include original art, sales flyers, and documentation. The cool thing about the home 2600 games is that you can do all the Game Selects with the red B button and see text on the screen describing the selection options. This is obviously much better than what one had to do with the original Atari 2600 for Game Selects.

You also get some video interviews with Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari. He is the guy who copied Ralph Baer's and Magnavox's Ping-Pong game from the Magnavox Odyssey (the very first video game system) to create the coin-op arcade game "Pong". Atari got sued because of that and lost, but never the less helped build the video game industry.

This whole compilation would have been perfect if they would have included the infamous Atari Basketball. As goofy as this game was, it was very fun. It was programmed in such a way that all games against the computer were close ones. Why they had to leave Basketball out is exceptionally mind-boggling. There is no logical reasoning for it. It is still worth getting, but just like most all greatest hits music CD's, there is a song missing.

All in all this is a excellent compilation because all the games are absolutely no different than they originally were, other than the fact that an Xbox controller is used.

No good songs at all!!!Mostly no DDR official songs!
This game is bad!They had it to play at my local Best Buy store, and the songs were really boring, they only had 4 songs I knew for a DDR master, A, V, Dream A Dream, and .59

I suggest u play in arcades where they have only official DDR songs, and more songs.

Seasoned DDRVet
I have been playing DDR for a couple of yearsw now, I can pass pretty much all songs on Maniac (heavy mode) With the exception of Max(period) I'm not going to go into "ohhhh lol lol this game is so much fun rofl and it's a good workout lmao." I don't care. The song selection sucks. YOu have to pay like 5 bucks to download all the good songs, like Sakura, Heaven is a 57' Metallic Grey,.59 remix, ect.... It dosen't have the classics I've been yearning for. A good thing, It does have a MAX 300 remix that's a 10 footer. Another flaw, It's missing Oni Mode. The lack of PSMO makes it very under par.

What a GAME!!
I had this game since Christmas,and I gotta say this game is pretty fun!With songs that makes your bottom shake!Game modes like,Beginner,Light,Standard,and Heavy are perfect for your style.My Favorite song is Zero-One.You can win songs on Light mode or Standard or possibly Heavy!But beware this makes your feet hurt.That's why I put 4 stars.But overall good game. ...

Good idea, but too frustrating
I enjoyed everything about this game except for the difficulty of the game play. In order to progress through the game, you need to complete increasingly difficult courses, some in a paddock and some cross-country, within a specified time and relatively error-free. Perhaps it's easier for younger players and it's my slow adult reflexes that trip me up, but I found this close to impossible. The controls are too clumsy to allow you to move your horse around the course at a pace quick enough to beat the time.

Don't consider this game unless you have endless patience, don't ever lose your temper, have lightning-quick reflexes, and are obsessed with horses. Otherwise you'll do what I did: scream in frustration and uninstall.

Totally Great!!!!
This game is the Best!!!! i love it because it is just like taking care of your own horse. grooming can be a annoyning but i sitll love it. doing the hooves takes like forever but thats okay. i love riding in competitions and taking care of the horse. the best horses are the two last ones you get. the horses are better in the competitons. im stuck on the wheel part and ive had the the game for about 3 months. if you buy this game you won't regret it!!!!

Four
I think this game is really great, the graphics are good, but the grooming! every time you go to a show, you get a new horse to look after them on top of your other horses. Also some horses are better than others, for example, the best ones are the palimino, the dark grey (these are the last two horses you get ) and Eclair. The challenges are really tricky and I still havent worked out the wheel one and ive had it for a year!

Fun Fun Fun
This is a really cool game even for me and I'm 16! Yea Its sad I know but I wanted a good horse game, I beat the Barbie Riding Game in less than an hour. So I was happy when I still haven't been Saddle Up and ive had it for almost a month!

The grooming can be really annoying after a while but its alot like real life. Picking there feet takes like 15 mintues the first time. The challanges are HARD! I still haven't figured out the wheel challange and its making me very mad!! But I still love it!

Great Game for Horse Fans Like Me!!!
I love this game. It is fun as well as challenging. The part I don't like about it ,though is the grooming.

It takes like an hour just to pick a hoof, and you keep getting more horses to groom throughout the game! You have to ride and care for each and every horse, even if they don't belong to you! In some competitions, you have to ride you're "friends'" horses instead of your own. (Your horses are a lot better at pacing themselves in the challenges.) I also don't like how you can only save the game in your room. But worst of all, is how much grooming is involved EVERY DAY!!! Hose down the horse, brush him, pick his HOOF (not hooves, thank goodness), shoe him, AND clean his stall and take him to the pasture! All of that is involved before you can go riding!

BUT, I loved the graphics. The only problem is if you wander off course, your horse falls into a white area. It is a great game, though. And the courses and competitions are a ton of fun! The challenges are REALLY CHALLENGING. It takes a while to figure them out, but its fun while doing it. This is an awesome game for horse fans like me. This game shows what its like to own a horse. I think it should be ages 11 and up! ... Read more

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

Great deal=great game(s)
The Final Scene and Treasure in the Royal Tower are both great games. Treasure in the Royal Tower is my favorite out of the five I have(Secrets Can Kill, Stay Tuned for Danger,The Haunted Carousel and, of course,The Final Scene and Treasure in the Royal Tower). I have absolutely no complaints on any of these five games, except for in Secrets Can Kill the characters are very cartoony. In The Final Scene, the culprit was the person I least expected. All in all, I think the Nancy Drew games are the best computer games ever made(along with The Sims).These games are great for kids and adults alike, and if you don't buy at least one Nancy Drew game, you'll be missing out on some major family time. Buy this game, and you won't regret it. I guarantee. You won't regret it, and you'll want to buy more the minute you beat the game.

Loved these games!
Both of these games are very addicting!My 7 year old son and I used junior detective (there is a harder level) and it was fun!Well worth the money you pay!

Great family fun!
My 10 year old daughter and I had so much fun playing this together!I thought she would enjoy it on rainy days but I was just as enthusiastic about playing as she was!
And my 6 year old son loves it!My daughter got stuck a couple of times where I could not figure out how to help her but Herinteractive.com has a great message board for each Nancy Drew game with lots of hints and clues if you get stuck!
A great family activity for a rainy day!

Double Pack
This double pack is really fun except it is hardly ever in stock!!!!!!! i had to wait a month because everyday when i went to look for it wasn't there! but it was definently worth the wait!! at such a good price this is definently the best game of the century!!!! ... Read more

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.

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

Well, im a casulal gamer..........
Well, im a casulal gamer and you might not want to listen to me but if you do theres a couple things i have to say.First off the game is great, but not educational. you can go to all sorts of lands and find the "krem coins" and feathers and such, i do think they should charge less money for theese "gameboy" games, but i have grat fun overall.


happy gaming, Ziggy

He's back again and about time to.
One of best games for the Super Nintendo is back for the GBA. It is a very fun game and if you missed it for the SNES, then be sure to get it for GBA.

well worth your money
this game is so much fun it will keep you entertained for hours. your options are almost endless. another thing is you cant beat it in one day. there are bounes games also. the graphics are great and it has good music that doesnt get on your nerves in about 30 min. you can also hook up your GBA cable link and play multiplayer. there is so many great things about this game i cant name them all and i dont want to spoil it for all you gamers that dont have the game yet. but if you do have the game then you know how awsome it is! its well worth your money to have a good time. so take my advise and go buy it!

The three best Worms games ever made, packed together.
I've been a Team 17 fan for years. When Worms came out first in 1995, I was pleasantly surprised.

Worms 2, Worms World Party, and finally Worms Armageddon (the best of the lot) use the same engine, so they might look similar at first. But once you start getting used to them, you'll notice some big differences (too much to list here).

Some of the best games ever made. For this price, this is a steal. Get it now! Demos available at www.team17.com, as well as patches that offer Windows XP compatibility as well as some extra features.

WORMS, HAHA
Ok, let me lay it out for you.I just barely played this game out of sheer boredom, and i think the last time i played it was like 2 years ago.This game basically SUX!You have fun, figuring out everything and all, but after a while, it is just plain boring.Save yourself some time and buy an electric guitar, a snowboard, get Sum 41's cd Chuck, and dream the day away......

Multiplayer F-U-N
The three games are of the same basic principle:you have land (2D height and width), weapons and enemies to destroy.This game has great versatility.You can edit landscapes, weapons and game options.You can play single player games vs. the computer or do premade missions as well as play multiplayer games on one computer or via network. Weapons include your classic bazooka, shotgun, punches and air strikes but you can also take out your enemy with zany things like banana bombs, sheep, carpet bombs or by pushing them off of the edge.Just make sure you have the system requirements and you are in for some F-U-N!

Just one year
I have played other Harvest Moon games and I like them all, and I like this one too. The only problem is that you only get one year. In the other games, you can form lasting relationships, get married, even have kids, get divorced, remarry, etc. year after year. This one starts you from scratch after a year (you lose) or you manage to save the homeland (you win). You get to keep your stuff, but all the relationships start over. It's cool that there are different endings, but I lost interest after the second one- and that's only because I was putting up a brave face since the kids got it for me for Christmas and I didn't want them to feel bad! I was pretty disgusted the minute I realized I'd lost all the ground I'd gained just cause I beat the game.

This was particularly disappointing because I thought surely the PS2 version would have all kinds of extra side quests and fun stuff to do after the first year.

What the...!?
This game has a great concept, lots of things to do, and a cute look. Why the low score? Well, the in-game time system is, in a word, wack. I would barely get outside and get my bearings, and it would be mid-afternoon already! Then, one time, I got lost trying to find a path in the "morning", and by the time I found it (a few real-world minutes later), it was "night"!! How am I ever supposed to build a farm and save the homeland if all the stores are closed by the time I get to them!? This game could have been Animal-Crossing caliber, but instead it's just confusing and weird. Too bad. I was really looking forward to it.

An Entertaining Game
Ok, the mission to this game is to save the Homeland from being... turned into an amusement park.
You meet many characters, and experience the life of a farmer. Farmer style. You can buy chickens and cows, adopt a stray dog, and earn a trusty steed from doing great work at Bob Brownie's Part-Time job.
I recommend this game to everybody.

Huh?
This is a weird addition of Harvest Moon. It's kind of weird, but it gets away from your farm and to your homelands. There multiple endings for this game, but here's my review.

Concept- Harvest Moon on PS2 = Weird

Graphics- am I playing Dark Cloud Or Harvest Moon?

Sound- The Catchy music makes this one the Harvest Moon gamewith the best score

Playability- Easy as pie

Entertainment- Enjoyable from begining to end, but it feels a little Wierd

Replay- Moderate-High

Alex- 8.25/10

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

This makes GT4 look like Burnout 1
The other reviews covered most aspects, but one particular thing I have to add is this is the first racing game I've seen that actually lets you choose which cars you want to race against in Free Race mode!

These cars actually seem realistic to drive, instead of the "hover" effect of GT4.The sounds are 100% better than the whine and whizz of the GT4 cars, and believe me the graphics are just as good if not better; at least in Enthusia, you don't get the fuzzy, out of focus effect from a game that pushes the abilities of the PS2 too far.

Trade in or sell your Gran Turismo 4, and get Enthusia.The only thing I don't like is the name of the points used during the career mode; who thought "Enthu" points was a good idea really needs to dig into their Japanese/English dictionary a little bit more.Cheers!

GREATLY ENTHUSED ABOUT ENTHUSIA!
As a seasoned video game racer (logitech steering wheel only please) I was intrigued by the comming attractions for Enthusia.
As GT4 was out first with its absolutely stunning version of the Nurburgring and hugely realistic driving dynamics, it was hard to get my brain and steering wheel around Enthusia at first try. I made the mistake of going directly from GT4 to one of Enthusia rear drive vehicles and was sorely dissapointed.
You see most of the rear drive vehicles on Enthusia are set up for terminal oversteer - with even gentle breaking and turn in the rear end comes around wildly on most vehicles - whether this is meant to inspire the drifting crowd I'm not sure, but its annoying and simply does not reflect actual rear wheel driving dynamics.Don't despair there are rear wheel cars that aren't too bad, but they are simply not the games strength.
However, and this is a huge However -especially for front wheel drive import fans - the front drive cars are astonishing
in there ability to properley convey front wheel driving dynamics. Both the Japanese Integra Type RSX Type S and the Jap spec Accord R in particular are just fantastic.
Four wheel drive vehicles also rival the very best for there driving dynamics and realistic physics.
The game exels particularly in the many original road courses thru city, country and desert settings.Honestly they are far superior to the original city tracks on GT4 - simply put whoever designed these courses new a lot about stringing corner after corner together in a very special way.Maybe beyond special - extrodinary. Graphically the game is not as sharp or as real as GT4, but its charming in its own way and the replay mode is excellent as are the realistic engine and driving sounds. The variety of cars is historically interesting and keeps one compelled to keep playing and racing to unlock all that are available - oh, and the racing is truly racing - in order to win and do well in the game you must drive correctly and cleanly and you must be fast!Unlike GT4 which is easily and perplexingly conquered.
If you can tell I'm really fond of this game you've been paying attention. One final word the historical Nurburgring is also included.It's good, but in all fairness does not compare to the version on GT4.Go get Enthusia if you love really racing cars.

Amazing Game
I had to think it over weather to buy Gran Turismo 4 or this one since there werent many reviews on this game. But now I would say it was a good choice.

As for physics of the game its totally perfect very realistic, every car feels diffrent. Also the VGS system which displays the weight transsition can be really helpfull sometimes. Another thing that I really liked was the feeling of speed. In GT4 even when you are going at 100+ you feel like you are going 60 but in enthusia with blur effect and other stuff you really feel the speed.

In this game you cant buy cars for money you have to unlock them. Also in Enthusia life mode as you race you can upgrade your car's tuning level which is just basically increasing the tire quality, power and weight. This game is more about your driving skills rather that winning racing using high powered cars. You get more points for winning a race with a low powered car. Unlike other car racing games you get Enthusia Points taken of if during the race you get off road, hit a car, and etc. which prevents you from using tricks like using your opponents car to make a fast turn which alot of people are used to in GT4.

It has fair amount of tracks. Total comes up to around 20-25. One of the amazing thing in this game is a Mountain Downhill and Uphill track. That is something Initial D fans would really apreciate. Only 2 cars can race there at one time. And there can only be one lap ofcourse cause you start from top of the mountain and end up at the base.

Also it has a Enthusia Revolution Mode which really helps learn how to drive through the right line. ... Read more

no title necessary
I have just played this game for a little over an hour, but already I can tell I'll be playing this game alot.It has a bit of a learning curve when you start out.Jumping right into a game out of the box can be frustrating if you don't view the street trainingvideo a couple of times.It's very satisfying game play once you understand how maneuver.The tricks are literally mouth watering.
After you learn how to earn your combo shots (the ones that are practically impossible to block)you don't feel so ripped when the AI rips one through w/out possible defense.
In general I despise sports games, because I suppose I despise most sports Excluding Soccer.
This is a top quality arcade soccer game.Even as it is arcadish you will find that you have to master play, and it isn't simply a button masher as many of the arcade style sport games are.
After playing this just briefly I can't wait to see what the other EA FIFA games have in store.I'm sure they are a bit more refined, but EA has won me over with this title.
I definitely recommend picking this up if you are a soccer fan.

Good Player Roster, Graphics, but Poor Controls and Gameplay
I'm a big fan of the EA Big Street series.I'm also a huge fan of soccer.I was pumped to play this game.

Unfortunately I am underwhelmed.The game play seems a bit lame and static compared to what you would expect from the street series.Most of this comes from controls that are not responsive.The point of the game is to beat your opponent with wild dribble moves.Unfortunately when the opponent uses a move on you, you literally lose control of your player while the animation shows your guy getting schooled.The soccer AI in this game is so poor that none of your other players can be counted on to help out your stranded teammate.

I just don't see a lot of replay value in this as the controls and gameplay are so static and frustrating.

Also disappointing is the fact that when you create a new team to play through the single player mode, your team is ranked at level 13 and your first opponent is level 25.I played ten matches and won only once because my players are hopelessly outclassed.

Some redeeming qualities of the game... there is a huge roster of real life soccer stars from several countries.Fans of European soccer will be happy to see Beckham, Henry, Totti, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc.Unfortunately, if your favorite star does not come from one of the dozen featured countries, forget about finding him in the game, which means no Schevchenko, Van Nistelrooy, Ljungberg, and none of the Greeks who won last year's Euro Tournament.

The graphics in this game are very nice.The players look stylish and are dead-ringers for the real players.The environments are decent looking too.

The lack of XBox Live play is absolutely unforgivable in a sports title of this nature.This is a terrible oversight.

In the end, I cannot recommend FIFA Street to anyone besides the most avid of soccer fans, and even then, don't expect to get a lot of replay value out of this.

Awesome Game!
At first i thought this game was going to be a little ridiculuos and forced from the EA BIG title series. However, upon buying the game i found it not only to be extremely fun, but exciting, great-looking and an over all great game. BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STREET GAME! ... Read more

Arcade version, not a simulation
If you want to play football without much control depth then choose this over the European "Pro Evolution Soccer 4" (title is "Winning 11" in the US) and if you have heard the buzz surrounding that game then you should know that it is in the top three sports simulations of all time.

Winning 11 however is not an out-of-box game, taking days to learn, weeks to master and then improve on with other players. FIFA works straight out of box, is easy, but its limits become all too obvious in light on Winning 11, a game has been in development since the Nintendo 64 and is easily the best soccer engine out there.

The bottom line is that if you want a soccer game that works out of box, that you can play almost right away with anybody, then FIFA has it. If you want a real soccer sim that takes longer to get into but is far better, then choose Winning 11.

Fifa 2005
Fifa 2005 is very simialar to Fifa 2004. But there are differences between the two. I really like 2005 more for the reasons that the new style is really cool. The music in the game is killer [they went for a more international music approach, rather than just the American music scene], and there is a visible differnece in the graphics upgrade. Basically, its an updated version of 2004. However, I bought this just for the hell of it, but 2005 doesnt come anywhere close to Winning Eleven 7. I bought Winning Eleven 8 recently, but it was in Japanese, but the gameplay is so much better. In F2005, no matter how many times you press sprint, the players just move so slow. The stadiums itselfs are not very lively, [i only saw one flag waving in the enitre crowd]. I bought 2005 mainly because I lost Winning Eleven 7, but Fifa 2005 is still pretty worth the buy. I do, however, prefer the winning eleven series. Gameplay is much easier and better at the same time.

Buy on PC if you can
I bought this game first on the playstation 2 but soon realized,(by playing the PC demo, and then surfing all the fan sites) that the the PC version is a smarter purchse. The game is great soccer gaming experience, and by far the best gameplay engine to date. (Still not perfect yet, though) The most frustrating aspects are the missing teams, incorrect player faces, incorrect uniforms, and missing stadiums. However, all these issues can be addressed if you have the pc version, through the many fan/user created websites designed to fix these discrepancies. And that is my recomendation to the soccer gamer.

Another [...] By EA!!
I'm a true footie fan and always will be, it's the only sport around the globe that is worth watching. Oh and by the way people who call this wonderful sport soccer are people who don't know anything about the true Football sport. I didn't actually buy this game and I never intended to but one of my friends had given me his copy which he didn't like to try. Boy was that worthless. EA sports managed over the years to bring a game for footie fans and make them enjoy it. Lately they have been trying to cheat off the Winning Eleven 7 game by Konami and it is evident in every move. No matter how hard EA will try they will never even come close to Winning Eleven 7 because they just simply don't haveFootball-true engineers working on this game and they are only after the money. Speaking to a lot of people(AMERICANS to be exact) they choose graphics over true realistic gameplay that represents true Football, and that just tells me one thing that they know nothing of the sport and should not come near it in whatever way. EA had said they had corrected errors in previous games but that's all a [...]because players in the game still wait for the ball to come to them instead of running towards it and also EA still haven't figured out a way past their formulated way of scorring goals. A good example of that if you want to score a goal all you have to do is cross and I guarantee a goal no matter what. EA sports FIFA "FOOTBALL" 2005 is simply a shadow imitation of Winning Eleven 7, and the only difference between the 2 is the graphics in EA is better and that is why I gave a 1 star. Whoever gives it more is no Footie Fan you just remember that. If you simply want good graphics then buy the game but keep in mind you are no footie fan, but if you want a realistic wonderful game you play Winning Eleven 7 which I give a 6 out of 5. Winning Eleven 8 is coming out soon it will erase every attempt by EA to succeed in Football games.

3 1/2 stars
its pretty good.

my previous fifa game was fifa 2002, and to be honest, 2002s graphics are as good or better than 2005s.

also, the menus are probably the worst ever.why cant they just use a simple layout like 2002 and 2002 world cup?it was so much easier to use.Dont get me wrong though.its a very ogod game, and if youre going to get a soccer game, this is defintely the one to get. ... Read more

can't actually play a match in tour mode
I just bought this game, relying on other reviews here on the site, explaining that in tour mode, you can switch off mission play and play 'normal' mode, which means you can play as you'd expect.

Well, I have to disagree, as I'd actually expect to play a FULL MATCH.You never get to play a match in tour mode...the maximum you get to play is a set (6 games).In the qualifying rounds, you only get to play TWO GAMES!(you never even get to play a whole set until the final match in a tournament!).

The gameplay and physics are amazing...just beware that you don't actually get to play a set....there will be no dramatics, like squeaking through a set, dropping one, and then coming back to win the third, at least not in Pro Tour mode (the only mode I'm interested in playing).

My 2 cents on serves
There are some complaints about serves in this game. I have some experiences. I get at least 1 aces every game. For some weak opponents, I score a game by 4 straight aces. The trick is to use the direction buttons instead of left stick to control your serves! To receive a serve, remember to react early. So when I played against Andy Roddick in US Open, I never let him serve an ace. Instead, I served two aces to knock him out!

Hope this is useful for someone.

Fun and accessible, though nagging flaws make it imperfect.
I'm a big fan of tennis games as well as the sport, so this release is right up my alley.It helps inspire confidence that the producer of this game is Namco, which has consistently given us quality gameplay and design -- witness the Tekken, Soul Calibur, and Time Crisis game franchises.

Smash Court Tennis 2 Pro Tournament gets most of its pieces right.There are a couple of problems in the game, but I can also say fairly that most tennis games have the same problems.

The pros:

- Good controls; you don't ever feel disconnected from your character.
- Decent graphics.Obviously there's a limit as to how much eye candy you can put into this kind of game, and this game's looks are neither deficient nor excessive.
- Excellent breadth.You get a complete tutorial so you can feel out the controls, 16 stock characters with their own quirks (for example, they throw the ball differently when they serve) plus the ability to create your own; hundreds of unlockables such as tips from the stars, sound tests, tournament histories and so on; and a fascinating Pro Tour mode (see below).
