Editorial Review

The classic arcade game Frogger snatched more than a few quarters back in the '80s. Hasbro's smash hit comes home with an entirely new look and sound. You'll hop through nine gaming worlds and dozens of levels in a new 3-D-based gaming environment. The game begins in familiar territory as the first levels are faithful 3-D re-creations of the classic arcade game. However, as you begin to progress deeper into the game, you'll find new areas that are equally challenging.

Whether or not you are a fan of the original game, Frogger stands on its own as a modern-day favorite. This title has consistently ranked among the top-selling home video games since its release. -- Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Based on the arcade hit
• Dozens of game levels

• May not appeal to some hardcore gamers

Features

• Modern update of the arcade classic, with mission and storyline
• 9 polygonal 3-D worlds with dozens of levels
• All-new abilities like Power Croak, Heat-Seeking Tongue, and Super Jump
• Speed, reflexes, and timing are crucial
• For 1 player

cant beat the classics
When I was a kid I had one of the 1st versions of this game back in the 80's for my vic 20 computer then the version for the commodor 64 and i loved it then. the play station version is a great game too and has keep me up for hours playing it. if your looking for a modern style computer game this isnt for you but if you like the old style arcade games then this is a great buy and can give you many hours of entertainment.

Hard, but fun.
Frogger is a hard game, but the original was no walk in the park, either. Good level design overall, even if the difficulty should be tone down a bit sometimes.

The multiplayer race feature is pretty fun, but it's nothing near classic.

Blech
If I wasn't addicted to the original Frogger, I would say this game was actually pretty cool but I can't. I wanted to see the original for PS. This game is HARD. I hear the 2nd one is better but I haven't tried it yet. If you don't mind the new look and scene, go for it but if you are expecting the Atari version but updated, don't waste your money. There is only one board that is similar.

A very difficult game
I purchased this game for my boys. It is so difficult that I have never completed level 4 anywhere(with 3 lifes each level). The graphics is just ok compared with some of the newer games. My boy(7) felt it was little too difficult too, he never completed level 5. My 3 1/2 year old boy passed the level one only a couple times out of hundreds of trial.

This game is horrible
horrible graphics, mindless games, hnow the heck did u give it 5 stars??? ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater from Activision became a megahit lastfall. Since then, dozens of companies have tried to bring fringe sports likesurfing, sky diving, and other "me, too" extreme sports titles to market, andall of them looking to cash in on the craze. Up until now, none have matched thequality or replayability of Tony Hawk, and only a small few have comeclose, including this month's challenger, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX fromAcclaim.

Instead of using a skateboard to race against the clock and perform dangerousmidair stunts for points and prestige, this game is all about daredevil BMX bikeriding, so that players can aim to pull off a "Superman," "Icepick," "Tailwhip,"or "Toothpick." In total, there are over a dozen unique environments, such asCamp Woodward's backbreaking "Lot 8" or the San Jose Ramp Club, to name two.

First, players must select their rider of choice, be it repeated World Championbiker Dave Mirra, 1999 Dirt Circuit Champion Ryan Nyquist, or eight other starsof the sport. Each of the riders enjoys his own signature moves, plus even moreriders can be unlocked over time. However, there is no create-a-player feature,as there is with a few other games of this kind.

Fortunately, controlling the rider is a cinch to learn for younger or novicegamers, and there's enough substance here to keep players pedaling long afterthe goals are met. In fact, along with the "Free Ride" mode, the timed "Session"mode, and the challenging, career-based "Proquest" mode, there are 10 differenttwo-player games, including our favorite, dubbed "B-M-X", in which the secondplayer has to mimic the first rider's moves (remember basketball's H-O-R-S-Evariant?).

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX's visuals are only satisfactory, with nothingreally to kick heels about. The 3-D engine brings a few annoying screen"pop-ups" (objects and backgrounds awkwardly disappear on occasion, as ridersmove in relation to the "camera") and "clipping" problems (in which the ridergets stuck mysteriously) that probably could've been ironed out with a few moreweeks in development. And, while the midair stunts and crashes look painfullyreal, the game also seems to lack a convincing sensation of speed.

But, even with its shortcomings, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is a rad BMXarcade sim that proves that the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, whilestill the king, is not the only game in town. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Controls are easy to learn
• Great two-player games

• Annoying "pop-up" and "clipping" problems
• No create-a-player feature

cool
This is the best game EVER. Get it or be square
j-nf

A good game
Ok so here is the deal. I bought this game on amazon, took it out of the box, and started to play. I noticed the graphics were very bad but the game is pretty neat. Over all, this game is worth every penny you pay.

Mediocre title
It's common for game developers to borrow ideas from other popular games - in hopes that their own game receives the same kind of widespread success. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX represents Acclaim's attempt to cash in on the extreme sports phenomenon started by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and, as a result, the basic game mechanics should seem very familiar to fans of the skateboarding game. To its credit, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX introduces some new elements to the extreme sports subgenre. Unfortunately, the game has a number of both major and minor flaws. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX's options are typical of an extreme sports game. The proquest mode is essentially a career mode that lets you select from a lineup of the world's best BMX freestylists to play as. It also lets you earn new sponsored clothing, new levels, and new bikes. Each track has a series of objectives that start at an amateur difficulty level and then steadily increase in difficulty after you complete them. In fact, the default bike just isn't good enough for accomplishing some of the later, more difficult objectives, so there is substantial incentive for obtaining faster and more maneuverable bikes. Even so, the proquest mode may be a little too easy for extreme sports veterans, since the game visibly highlights the obstacles associated with objectives you need to complete. However, this should be a welcome feature for those who are new to the genre. The game's two remaining modes - freeride and session - are practice modes in which you can race around on a track, with or without a time limit. Unfortunately, these modes are mostly worthless for practicing in, since some tracks - particularly the backyard pools area - constantly change as new areas open up and as you complete more objectives. The gameplay in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is solid, if perhaps lacking in originality. Just as in Tony Hawk, pressing a series of button combinations makes you perform tricks on your bike. The more complicated your combination is, the more points you receive. Unfortunately, even executing the simplest trick isn't as easy as it should be. The first problem is that when you're facing the camera, you have to press "up" to turn your bike around. In theory, it's the ideal way to address camera problems, but in practice, the sluggish controls really prevent this maneuver from being useful. Another minor problem is the game's collision detection. Most of the time, it's easy to judge your distance from the ground or from an obstacle, which makes trick execution ideal. However, there are times when your bike seems to clearly miss an obstacle, but you'll still crash as though you ran right into it. The inconsistent collision detection also becomes a problem when you attempt to perform grinds - sometimes your bike can connect with an obstacle from an unrealistic distance, and other times, you need to be very precise and land right on the object you want to grind. Visually, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is on par with other multiplatform ports of extreme sports games. A few impressive textures appear here and there, like on the various riders' helmets, but the rest of them are fairly bland and pixelated. The bike rider models are not incredibly detailed, but there are enough subtle differences to help you recognize the differences among each of the riders. Oddly enough, even though the various environments and the character models are essentially taken straight from the PlayStation version of the game, slowdown and drops in frame rate can still be a major problem in areas with numerous objects. The slowdown usually dissipates after a second or two, but it can affect gameplay, especially if you want to perform a complicated trick in a detailed area during the last seconds of the round. The game has plenty of other small visual problems as well, like the crash animations. Since there are no pre-scripted crash animations, your rider will just go flying like a limp rag doll whenever you hit something. It's humorous at times; however, it's generally very awkward and unrealistic.
Other than the proquest mode, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX doesn't have much else to offer. There are no multiplayer modes, which is unfortunate since most of the latest extreme sports games have found ways to incorporate different types of multiplayer modes, either online or on a single computer. In the end, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX can be fun, but the occasional problems with the graphics and collision detection can quickly become a source of unnecessary frustration.

OOOO!!!
I got this at a great price here...when it arrived,My boyfriend,My son & even the neighbor kids were all grabbing at it.I never knew just how popular this game is!!!

Awesome adventure game
This is the best adventure/action game ever.I love it.I was so sad when I beat it because I didn't want to start all over.Everyone who loves adventure and action should get Tomba 2.I don't have Tomba, the first one, but I want to get it soon.Tomba is the coolest character of all time.Tomba 2 is my most favorite game in the world.I even like it better than all the PS2 games.Even if it is a PSone game, it beats all of the playstation 2 games.Once I beat Tomba, I will write a review for that one too.So why don't you go see it sometime.TOMBA 2 IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, but dumb at times
If your looking for a great sequel to a great game, this isn't it. While it may have some of original gameplay, you could hardly call it a sequel. the puzzles are harder (which i like.)
but the controls and plot suck. COLLECTING GOLDEN CRABS?!?! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?! AND, WHATS WITH THE SUITS?! it was FINE as it was. so, get it if you liked the first one, get it for the sake of being a TOMBA! fan. otherwise, forget it.

Good, but the original is better
This was a fun game and some of the puzzles were really tough.However, I found that they attempted to make the game easier for kids by adding spoken dialog.(hint- TURN THE VOCAL DIALOG OFF if you don't want to be annoyed!- there are 3 people who do ALL the voices, and they don't try to hide it very well) Another thing I found annoying was the music- anytime you came to the start of a new challenge, the music became VERY dramatic(drama-queenish)and then suddly reverts to a very subdued backtrack.
Overall, it's a fun game, the graphics are good, but TOMBA, the original game is MUCH better, and lasted a lot longer.

The Great Return of Tomba
If you love the original Tomba from Whoopee Camp, you'll love this more!!

And if you think that this is a 3D game, you're incorrect because this is only a 2D platform game but it offers a lot of colorful graphics and delightful, humorous characters..
There are more puzzles to conquer and more "treasures" to find..To beat the game, you have to finish the events, find some crystals, which'll add to Tomba's AP total..It may make you dizzy but the act of playing is worth it.

the best yet!!!!!!!
i own tomba and tomba 2. boy what a difference, t-2 is so much more organized in t-1 you go back and forth so many times it gets boring , but in t-2 it is way better. plus they talk and write the words on the screen so it is easier to understand for younger kids who cant read as well. if you have to choose this is the one but if you have t-1 and are considering buying t-2 don't hesitate, you won't regret it!!!!!! ...

Game Is Great, Host Stinks
Just like the TV show, the actual game is great but Louie Anderson is the worst. Ugh. I love playing the game but it goes kinda slow and it takes forever to actually start playing. Now that Family Feud has a great new host, I hope a new edition of the game will be released soon.

COULD NOT STOP PLAYING
DEBBIE FROM ST. LOUIS, MY SON BOUGHT ME THIS GAME FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND I CAN'T STOP PLAYING IT.IT IS SO MUCH FUN.IT'S JUST LIKE BEING ON THE SHOW BETTER THAN WATCHING IT ON TV.MY FRIEND CAME OVER AND SHE IS HOOKED ON IT NOW AS WELL.

Louie is a pain...
I was looking forward to this game as I love playing game shows on the PS. However, the graphics are slow in loading and not impressive and Louie is just down right annoying. I would skip this one if I was you.

Family Feud
We bought this game after buying Super Scattergories because it was by the same company and we thought it would be fun. It is very borin and slow paced. What I can't figure out is why it is still available but Super Scattergories-the funnest computer game in the world--is no longer made.

Let's Play The Feud!....sort of.
This game could have been a lot better.First off there is no returning champion mode (just like the new Feud right now.)Second the music on the game is horrible.I though it would have the FF '99 theme but it just a lot of keyboard crap.Just think if Richard Dawson or Ray Combs were still hosting the Feud this game would have been 100% better with returning champions,Bullseye or the famous Family Feud music heard in the 70's to early 90's Still it's a good game to play with a lot of people and Louie Anderson actually made me crack up a few times.The Family Feud game (1994) for the 3DO is still much better. ...

A Bowling "Ball"
This game is quite possibly the best bowling game.....EVER!!!!. If you wanna have fun playing a great game....make this game the one you play. You will become addicted to it immediately.

Great family game!
I just got this game for my daughter and she loves it.It is the most fun she has had with a game.It is also fun for me and we like playing the game together.This is a great deal for the price and kids seem to have a really good time.

Great Bowling game with a comedic twist
I love bowling games, and this is one of the best and most fun I have played. The characters are really well done, and the bowling itself is very realistic. You can play on the 'easy' setting to get used to the controls, but once you get the controls down, this is a great fun bowling game, The graphics are really nice, it's hard to believe it's a PS1 game. I actually play this on my PS2 because I can't find a better PS2 bowling game. There are many different modes, and you can play up to six players in a tournament. All in all a really great game. ...

Great game
this is the best hockey game i've ever played for playstation. even better than all of the new ones, although i havent tried any ps2 games yet. i would recomend buying THIS hockey game for playstation, and not the others. its got good graphics, and really good controls. u can choose from any NHL team.

Erik S's Review
NHL Face-Off 2001 is a great game. It seems like you are controlling a real game. You have a good selection of shots and the sound effects are killer. I have to say this the best hockey game on the market.

This Years Best PS1 Hockey Game, But That's Not Saying Much.
Hockey titles on the Playstation just aren't too good this year.NHL 2001 by EA Sports was not a good title.989 Studios has finally bested the hockey battle this season, but that's not saying too much.

The good.It's hockey.The gameplay is done very well.Control is excellent, goalies are very realistic, line changes are unique (there's a button to change your forwards, and a different button to change your defensemen).Scoring goals is realistic where if you have a defensive breakdown, you're going to give up goals (you let someone wind a slapshot in the slot and your goalie will most likely get beat).However, great goalies do cover their own with some amazing saves after they give up bad rebounds--whereas lesser goalies will most likely give up a rebound goal with no defensive help.The play-by-play is done well with one of the best in Mike Emerik.There's even Zambonies bewteen periods and the three-stars-of-the-game and introduced when the game ends.

The bad.Well, this game looks terrible.With the exception of the "C" and "A's" on certain jerseys, the players and goalies look underdone and blocky.Player animation is beyond chopy, and the sounds are the worst I've ever heard in a hockey game ("Go Baby, Go"??? And hitting the post sounds pathetic--sounds similiar to a coffee mug being tapped with a spoon).Line changes are unique, but they are done poorly and slow--Every player exiting the ice during play uses the trap door?Not to mention the puck usually goes out of play along with the players going to the bench via the trap door.One of the biggest problems is the sim mode when in season play.You had better turn off injuries or you'll eventually be in trouble.How?You are only allowed 17 players on your roster!There's no "dressing" and "scratching" players for games like in EA's NHL series, you need to sub injured players with players already on other lines.How stupid is that?!?There are so many player missing in this game, it's upsetting.Also, color commentary is poorly done.Darren Pang is one of the best at doing this, but it's just not done well in this game.As for the voice acting?Just try to ignore the public address announcer--the worst I've ever heard next to Faceoff '97.The fighting is terrible in this game (guys who NEVER fight are dropping the gloves on a regular basis.I've gotten in fights against Paul Kariya--what's that all about?).Winning face-offs is a breeze (this game needs EA's NHL '99 feature of kicking out centers from the faceoff spot when a player cheats by tapping the faceoff button too much before the puck is dropped).This game even has those annoying "hot spots".Winning offensive an offensive face-off to your winger in front of the net for a one-timer is almost a sure goal.Too many weak penalties, and that ref needs to be either more detailed or removed (I've tried to hit him with a breakaway pass more than once--DOH).

This game may be the best to play because it's the least annoying.This years PS1 hockey titles are weak.I hope to get my hands on a PS2 soon to try it's hockey titles in hope for a near perfect hockey game.I've tried nearly every hockey game on the market for the PS1.Here's what I've found out so far: Best Gameplay:Faceoff 2001 Best Graphics:NHL 2000 Best Sound:NHL '98-2001 Best PA Announcer:Powerplay '98 Best play-by-play:Faceoff 2001 Best Color Commentary:NHL '98-2000 Best Options:NHL '99 (see above about the faceoffs), NHL 2001

I feel that all hockey games this year were not done too well mainly because the attention went to the PS2.So, with that said, NHL Faceoff 2001 is this years best PS1 hockey game, but that is NOT saying much at all.I still say that the best hockey games are on the Sega Genesis (EA's NHL '97, '98).

they can do better
i thought this game was quite bad compared to what 989 usually produces.i have seen much betted games that this out on the market such as fifa 2001, tony hawk pro skater 2.and quite frankley this game was horribble, if you want a good game get nhl 2001

It's a hockey game...
Well, quite frankly, the character design, the puck control, and the arenas look exactly the same as they did in NHL Faceoff '99.There are some new features, but nothing far too important.Everytime the puck hits the post, if you're lucky, you'll hear a "It hit the post!".Otherwise, the character design looks like it was rushed, the goaltenders look as bizarre as they ever have, and the commentary has been all the same.

Otherwise, this game is just really fun.You can create some really neat plays.Slapshots, dekes, tip-ins, one-timers, it's all there.

I hope that this version for the PlayStation2 has more effort added to it.Because quite frankly, it isn't really fair to leave out the PSX like that... ... Read more

Nabbed Downs award hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello everybody its me fruggert back again to tell you about a tizite game called power rangers time force!!! I thought the graphics were awsome better than ps2!I knew that tihis game would get the downs award ,i invented the downs award.It is a game awards show that chooses the best games.The games are chosen by a panel of experts like my teddy bear and Mr.Bunny.It is on tv every October the 45th so watch!!I am 23 and i thought that the last level was a bit intense so i dont reccommend this game for anyone under 18.Power rangers at thier best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boring
Didn't like that you can't fight the bad guys with two rangers like you could in Light speed. My kids thought it wa boring!!

A Nice Game
I changed my mind, I just had to get used to this game, I do recommend buying it if you are a fan of power rangers and it's worth the [item price].

Power Rangers Time Force
I have just 1 word for this game... BORING! I am so disappointed with Sony! We have Power Rangers Light Speed which is so awesome and much better and action packed than this boring time force game. Wake up sony! We want a better power rangers game next time and we miss light speed. BRING BACK THE LIGHT SPEED GANG. Send the time force gang back in time! Almost forgot to add, you can't play 2 players with this boring game, you can only play 2 megazords fighting each other and not the bad guys, totally stupid!

very very bad game
bought this for my 5 yr old (huge PR fan)& it is awful. THQ must have put absolutely no effort in getting this game out. the gameplay is inane. my son is constantly baffled by why you must "jump" off areas because the game will not let the character simply walk off an object with no apparent obstacle. in other scenes, you also must "jump" to a farther smaller looking box in order to "jump" back to a higher bigger looking box, making absolutely no sense to even a child!! Therefore, i constantly have to play this inane game for him!!! I was sooooo disappointed because my son and his friends really enjoyed the previous Lightspeed Rescue game for PSX, but unlike that game, this one has no cooperative multiplay, which I prefer. The 2 player game is a competitive multiplay...(and was also awful)
The graphics are terrible, just absolutely terrible. And the FMV hurt my eyes, it was so blurry i was afraid it would ruin my kids' eyes if they saw it too much....
The game was just so bad, i was angry that THQ put out such a bad, bad, awful product just to make a quick power-ranger buck. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Those die-cast metal cars that supplied endless hours of vroomvroom as a child are back in their very own PlayStation game. Thisfast action game captures the feeling of playing with Hot Wheels carsand the most deluxe track set ever imagined. While retaining someelements of a video game racer, Hot Wheels manages to shun thecurrent trend toward real-world physics and instead focuses on wildairborne stunts and wondrously loopy track design.

Like most racing games, the idea is to finish first. However, to winyou must pull off some acrobatic maneuvers such as barrel rolls andsomersaults to gain turbo boost rewards and blast past your opponents.Keeping a third-person viewpoint and simplistic controls, Hot WheelsTurbo Racing provides just the right touch to re-create theexperience of zooming your own Hot Wheels cars around the living room.The addition of moody, thematic track backgrounds and scorching soundand visual effects transforms every toy-playing kid's fantasy worldinto a digital reality. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Simplistic controls and outrageous stunts make the game perfect forall skill levels
• Real Hot Wheels cars and inspired tracks make the game shine

Cons:

• Not a hard core racing simulation fan's game

Features

• Hot Wheels racing game
• Get behind the wheel of one of over 40 other Hot Wheels originals
• Drive on 12 tracks in four unique worlds
• Classic Hot Wheels-style tracks feature loop-d-loops, danger changers, and plenty of ramps
• For 1 or more players

good for a headache
I bought this game after trying it in the stores first.I liked it in the stores, but when I bought it, I was completely disappointed.I beat the game quickly, in one night, and it gave me a head ache.It is also a little frustrating because some stuff just happens.If you are buying it to play with the whole family, then I guess I could recomend it, but for anyone who plays games a lot, I suggest looking around for a better game.

A Great Game!
This game is great! The graphics aren't the greatest but they still are good because you can see where you are going. You can unlock mystery cars when you either go in secrets, or win one of the 3 challenging cups. The cups get harder and harder as you go. After winning all 3 cups, I still haven't got all the mystery cars. I am missing 1. Not to brag.It is a
challenging game to get some of the mystery cars. If you get all of them, please let me know. Just Kidding! If you want to, you can. I don't mind. Speaking of the cars, they are great. Some have different strenghs. Like some can be fast and [are bad at] stunts or some can be good at both. When you unlock a mystery car, on a specific track. That means that this car is the car that is best at that track. REMINDER! Don't give up on finding the mystery cars. If you are racing and see one, after you finsh the race, you can practice that track and keep trying to get it. It might take a while but it is worth it. In conclusion, this game is great! Did I mention it is great? Oh yeah, it is great!

A Great game
This game is great for the whole family.It's easy enough for my 5 yr old, but challenging enough for Mom and Dad.We love racing against each other.A must have for Hot Wheel fans.

The more you play the more you get
My 5 yr old son and I have had so much fun with this game over the past year.In the beginning it seems like just a racing game but as you start finding shortcuts and hidden cars, playing the cup races, and unlocking new tracks it gets better and better!We haven't won the twinmill cup yet though.:-(

This is a really great game for the money!

Great 1 Player Mode, Bad 2 Player Mode
This game has Great Graphics, nice gameplay.ok car selection and good track selection.this game should of never been made in to a two player mode selection, it just isn't fun and should be avoided.when you just Ride alone, then its a very good game.All in allthis game is a let down, you expect so much more and they don't even give you 50%! ...

Editorial Review

Strider first slashed his way into American homes in the '80s,with his self-titled release for the classic NES. After a subsequentappearance on the Genesis, Strider Hiryu disappeared from gameconsoles--until now. Strider is back in a truly old-school action gamethat will please fans of 2-D classics.

Upon first play, Strider 2 may seem like a mindless slashorama,with enemies coming at players from all sides. But there's more toStrider than brainless brutality. Hiryu can also jump, doublejump, kick off of walls, slide, and cling to almost everything, whichmakes it possible to avoid most foes, with practice.

For better or worse, Capcom makes it easy for players to blow throughthis game by way of unlimited continues that let Strider start from thevery point where he died. Luckily, players are graded at the end ofeach level, giving at least some incentive to perform well. --RobbGuido

Pros:

• Vivid graphics and huge bosses
• Old-school action that requires players to learn the movements ofenemies

• Players can essentially cheat their way through the game because ofunlimited continues

Features

• 2-D Action game featuring sword-swinging hero
• Plenty of cool moves and combos
• Cool, wild graphics
• Learn each opponent's techniques to win
• For 1 player

I Really Need and Want this game ! =)
I don't actually have this game.I just gave it five stars because it looks cool and I have an action figure of Strider. So to all of you that have strider 2..... and you hardly play it anymore, please put on amazon.com. I'd really appreciate it because I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Just so you know............. I REALLY MEAN THIS,NO JOKES. THIS IS FROM THE BOTTM OF MY HEART. Peace and god bless. =0 =).

Hardcore gamer? Sign up here.
It's about time Strider came back and I'm glad to see Capcom put some effort into this one. The control is dead-on and the graphics are great. If you wanna be cheap and use as many continues as you can, you'll beat it in half an hour. If you limit your continues, however, you'll find that this game is much harder to master. Buy it.

The most fun game I've played in a long time
I never played the original Strider, but I loved this game.Okay, so I could beat in under an hour, but I kept coming back for more.It is one of those games that you will return to after you beat it over and over again.It is almost too easy however, so it can be beaten in at least an hour.That is what keeps this game from getting five stars.Be warned that if you like spectacular graphics, you will be very dissapointed.However, this game proves that games with okay graphics can sometimes be the most fun.

Strider 1 is on Strider 2 Disc ?
Just wanna say that the game is High speed. Lightning fast attacks and awesome 2-D/3-D graphics(Like Kirby 64) make this a pretty entertaininggame. However, I feel that capcom wasn't really paying attention to detailwhen it released the game on the wrong disc. Strider 1 is on the strider 2disc and vice-versa. Thats about the only beef I got with this game. Goodgame!

The Magic Returns!
The original Strider for Genesis was what made me buy that system, and this game has all the magic of that one! The only thing keeping it frombeing a five is that in this age of videogames the length should be a lotlonger! But if you are a Strider fan (or a fan of great videogames) youshould buy this one!HIGHLY RECOMENDED! ... Read more

As youmove through each trail, the game takes an unusual first-personperspective that shows your view from atop the horse. Game environmentsinclude a snowy mountain path, a grassy meadow, and a warm beach. Thepre-rendered animation is fairly smooth and colorful, but controllingthe moves of your horse can be a bit awkward. This game is designed tobe compatible with Sony's dual shock controllers, which allow playersto feel each bump and rumble.

As you might expect from any licensed Barbie game, this title isdesigned to appeal to young girls. While there isplenty of pleasant eye candy for beginning gamers, this game clearlyencourages players to engage in low-stress fun that requires littlehand-eye coordination. Instead, Barbie Race & Ride is more aboutexploration and, in some cases, adventure. The game does rewardpersistent players with access to a much-fabled "secret ranch." Forgamers that want to take a break from the saddle, there is anopportunity to wash and groom your horse in the barn.

Barbie Race & Ride succeeds in offering a friendly, nonviolentexploration environment for beginning gamers. Older brothers, beware! --Brett Atwood

Cons:

• Controls can be awkward

Fun...If You Haven't Had Better
I bought this game 4 years ago (in grade three) as an alternative to an older favorite of mine, Barbie Riding Club (which I had outgrown) in the hopes that it would allow more freedom like riding off of the trail, stopping wherever you may please and competing in a more realistic fashion. Once I turned ten, I realized what a mistake it was.

Mattel obviously has no idea what girls who have the ability of playing video games want in them. We are forced to ride chunky, ugly horses with unrealistic animations (horses stretch their necks outwards when jumping rather than flinging them upwards. This makes the obstacle course very hard) in environments that look painted-on and thrown together. Barbie is constantly stopping your ride to make you watch squirrels hop across branches, and there are only two gates to choose from (canter and gallop) I wouldn't have such a problem with this if canter wasn't so slow; it slows down the surrounding area so it's just like riding in slow-mo. The firefly game was very difficult for me when I was young and it took me near forever to figure out that you just open the lid near the firefly and it flies in.

All in all, this game is one of the dusty ones in my collection. I would suggest Mary-Kate and Ashley's Winner's Circle for older girls, and Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue for younger ones.

For Barbie Lover's
Choose and name your horse-then:-Five trails to ride in day or night.-Challenging games and puzzles.-Race at beach or in meadow. -Timed competitions.-Jump over streams, logs and obstacles.Solve all levels for surprise at mystery ranch.For Barbie fans only!

[bad]
this game was so stupid all you do is jump and say its getting dark better head back to the stable!it got so boring after 1 day
i thought you got to make your horse but no you pick from 4 ugly horses and barbie said theres a hiddin ranch whatever i cant even get past the firefly game!I f you want a game that has good graphics and real horse racing buy Gallop racer

worse than falling off a horse
I bought this game and the playstation with my own money. It's a good game, but once you win it, it's horrible! the only hard part is the firefly game. Even my pro cousin can't beat it. I traded it in for the Emperors New Groove game and was GLAD it was gone. Loading was horrible, too. I'd rather have a real horse or fall off my friends horse. Get marykateandashley's winners circle instead.

AWFUL
This game was awful.I was bored with it the day I got it.It's EXACTLY like the computer game Barbie Riding Club (which is MUCH cheaper) my younger sister doesnt even like this game its boring all you do is move the horse's head around and click to go over a jump then do boring point and click games. this is not what its cracked up to be ...

I Love it!
It is fun, but not too hard.I like the graphics, and the music is addictive too.It is really colorful and the little frogs are cute.It was an enjoyable game, because it wasn't frustratingly hard.

Frogger 2 is mostly just looks
I have to admit this game is pretty fun, but I liked Frogger 1 better.Most of the levels are just super graphics, which is really cool to look at, but in all, aren't as fun as Frogger1.
If you love Frogger 1, you'll like Frogger 2 but will get bored of it quickly...

Great Game!!!
This game is colorful and fun. The only thing I didn't like was that it was too short. But that's okay. You can find secret characters in some levels lke Swampy, and Tad. Overall, this is a great game.

THISis the frogger you should be playing
This is one game for the ps1 that really took me by surprise, and I'm happy to have stumbled across it. While browsing at the local video store one day, I found that all the games I wanted to rent were nowhere to be found. Suddenly I was left with two options... leave without anything and replay one of the many games I already have, or take a chance on renting something I normally wouldn't have left home for. Well as you can tell by my writing of this review, I chose the latter (and it paid off).Before I go any further, I want to let you know that I had earlier rented Frogger-The Great Quest (The newest in the series for the Playstation 2), and was greatly disappointed by what I had wasted my money on (at least it too was just a rental).The good news is that this game made me forget all about the poor gaming experience I had with "The Great Quest."In Swampy's Revenge the graphics were colorful, and well done.The game controls were simple, and I had little doubt that even those of you who were new to gaming would have any trouble picking up this game for the first time and enjoying it. In addition, I didn't find this title to be overly difficult, although there were some instances where my timing was initially off with some of the jumps I encountered. Nonetheless, a couple of tries later I was moving full steam ahead again with no problem. The game layout was equally well done, and there was no question about where to go next. Tally this all up and you have the makings of one outstanding game.The only shortfall I noticed was that it ended much too soon, and that veteran game players won't necessarily find the gameplay very challenging. The casual or younger gameplayer will absolutely adore this one though, so I have to recommend this game highly. Add it to your collection immediately.

Fairly Easy but fun game
This game was a bit easy to beat. I beat it in about 3 and a half hours. I am glad I didn't buy the game. I just rented it. This game can be pretty chalenging at some parts. I don't know about a game where the last level is easier than the first 3 levels. Other than that this game was good. There is a good abount of multiplayer games and Time trials to keep you playing the game. Unlike the previous game I played which was Gamecubes Luigi's Mansion, there is plenty of stuff to do in this game even after you beat it. It is also a very straighforward game in which you always know what to do next. Its just that you have you time your jumps perfectly. These are the types of games that I like cause you don't need to check a player's guide just to beat the game. This is why I gave the game 4 stars. I also previously stated the reasons why I didn't give the game 5 stars. ... Read more

The best playstation game ever!
The best 3D playstation videogame yet. This is my favorite game from the whole disney/playstation game set ever!!!! I did not hear about the game on t.v., I just started playing it,and learned to love it. A sure five star game, and hopefully soon in the greatest hits category. If you have it and love it,stand by my side and join me in loving the game as much as I do.If you dont have it, BUY IT BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!!!!!!!!!

I have a 4 1/2 year old son and he loved the game.I was very satisfied with the shipping time and condition of the game.I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Excellent game!! Great for kids 4 and up, & adults too!
this game has just the right amount of everything for kids or adults. it has tons of levels, some very challenging, some easier. so many different environments and allows for lots of exploration. some really fun mini-games. my 5 year old plays this well, and hasn't lost interest in it one bit since we've owned it. i was also challenged by many of the levels and played it like a fanatic until i finally beat it. easy enough for kids to play, but also entertaining for adults. a great game!

my three year old granddaughter loves this game.it's about the only one of the true 'juvenile' games that she comes back to play on a regular basis. although her uncle has helped her to finish it, it is nothing for her to start a new game, as she just loves certain scenarios. i'm not a fan of disney games, but this one is a winner. she loves it, it doesn't shelf sit and that's what counts!

Maybe too scary for some?
After seeing this in a list of good games for littler kids, and reading some of the other reviews, I decided to get this for my 3-year old son, who has only played some of his dad's car racing games up till now.My son was very excited to receive it, and insisted on playing it immediately.After a couple of minutes, he had mastered the gist of the game and the controls seemed logical.Basically, the object of the main game (there are several mini-games included as well) is to rescue your fellow puppy siblings that have been trapped in crates.You have to destroy attacking robotic toys by barking at them, and you have to roll into the crates to smash them and rescue the puppies.A little rough, but all seemed well, and I left the room for a couple of minutes, only to rush back in when I heard my son yelling tearfully that I had to turn the game off.Apparently, Cruella De Ville's sidekick appears in the game and chases after you with a net.You can't always see him as you run madly away, but sometimes you just see his feet in the foreground as he chases after you, or you round a corner and he starts lurching towards you, swinging the net.The graphics were even a little creepy to me--like one of those slow motion bad dreams where you run from some THING. I have no idea how to get rid of him, because my son was so scared by this that I was not allowed to try--I had to not only turn off the game, but I had to take the disc out of the Playstation, too.When he was finally ready to give the game another try the next day, he would only play the mini-games (there's a mini-golf game and there's a memory-type game where the dog has to dig into piles of dirt to find matching objects).There are actually several other mini-games, but they were not accessible, and I suspect you have to get to certain levels in the main game before you are permitted access (a reward system, I guess).While I think older kids (5 or 6) might get a kick out of the game, the "bad guy" may be too scary for some of the more inexperienced 3 and 4 year olds who have not always encountered these concepts before.On the other hand, my husband loves the game, so families with slightly older kids could probably play this together. ...

Amazon.com Review

As the style of professional wrestling on TV has changed, so have thevideo games. Gone are the days of simple bouts between two men in tights.Wrestling is now a violent soap opera full of plot twists, romance, andintrigue. WWF Smackdown! Just Bring It accordingly contains as much storyas it does action. The game features more than 40 WWF wrestlers who participatein 70 types of matches. Superstars like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, andKurt Angle are joined by characters like Stephanie McMahon, Fred Durst, andTajiri. Special matches include Falls Count Anywhere, Royal Rumble, Last ManStanding, and TLC (Tables, Ladders, Chairs). Plus there are plenty of secretwrestlers, rings, and matches that can be unlocked, adding to the replay value.

Gamers familiar with the controls of the Smackdown series will feel right athome. The game plays largely the same, with some additional moves and finishers.While having familiar and responsive controls is definitely a good thing, thegraphics should not be too familiar on a next-generation system.Unfortunately, the game's character models haven't progressed much from thePlayStation version. However, the improvements in animations and ring entrancesare fantastic.

The biggest flaw in the game is the commentary by Tazz and Michael Cole. Thereare several instances in which the commentary is disjointed and unnatural, andit often fluctuates severely in volume. This is a shame, as the announcers are abig part of pro wrestling's storytelling. Despite this problem, WWFSmackdown! Just Bring It packs more than enough quality gameplay and varietyto thrill any WWF fan. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

• Classic gameplay with some nice refinements
• Lots of features to unlock
• Great multiplayer fun

• Disjointed commentary is distracting and annoying
• Story mode is limited
• Unimpressive character models

Features

• More than 60 different matches: For the first time ever on PlayStation 2, square off in Six Man Tag Team Matches, Royal Rumble Matches with up to nine Superstars in the ring.
• Unsurpassed detail featuring play-by-play from Michael Cole and Tazz.
• Thousands of different moves including every Superstars' finishing moves.
• Multiple camera angles will bring the action to life like never before.
• Blazing fast game play at 60 frames per second.

YEAH,ITS O.K.
I like this game alot,though it was never my favorate Wrestling game because i had WWE SmackDown! Shut your Mouth wich is more fun,but there are a few features that newer Wrestling games don`t have like entrances in2 HardCore matches and starting with a Signature weapon(I.E. Triple H with a sledgeHammer,Foley with a fake Head).Here are just a few of the stars in this game:
Albert(Now called A-Train)
Big Show
"Rabid Wolverine" Chris Benoit
"Y2J"Chris Jericho
"The ONE"Billy Gunn
Crash Holly
Hardcore Holly
Molly Holly(when she was Face,and with Crash and Hardcore)
Eddie Guerrero
Faarooq
Triple H
Dean Melenko
Perry Saturn(one of `The Radicalz along with Malenko,Benoit and E.Guerrero)
Bradshaw(Representing the A.P.A. with Faarooq,Now known as John Bradshaw Layfield(JBL))
ect.
The graphics of the game are alright but the crowd blatently look like pieces of paper watching the match and when u throw an oppenent in the crowd(another feature witch older and newer WWF/WWE games have) they all squash together when you go near them.The sound is repetative when the announcers are broadcasting a match are annoying and hate each otha(Michael Cole and Tazz).The fix up 4 this game is that when entering you are not some one walking down i front of there Titan Tron movie,like they did in SD! 1,u now get 2 see your oppenents enter the ring.The great thing about this game are the Hints like you can unlock Tajiri,Rhyno,Foley,Spike Dudley,Fred Durst(not actually a wrestler in reality but a singer,featured because of Takers famous theme song),Steph McMahon,Shane McMahon,InsurreXtion PPV arena and a new SmackDown! Arena using Rock to beat 15 opponenents in a SK match(4 the SD! arena) OVERALL THIS GAME IS GOOD and on it my favo Wrestler The Rock.
IF YOU SMELLLLLLLL..WHAT THE ROCK..IS..COOKIN`!!!

weiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird
fruity,fruity,fruity.i just have to show a listpros ;choose from stars like jeff hardy ,stonecold,and the rock.ok graphics.cons;you basically have to kill yourself to get out of the hell in a cell.the specials are jacked up.you cant even here the commentaries.thousands more.i played it with my cousin.if you like wwe,get here comes the pain,raw2,or legends of wrestling 2 because it is better and has a better season mode with storylines.

THE WORST OF THE SERIES
WELL, THIS GAME AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A PS2 VERSION OF SMACKDOWN 2. AND THIS GAME AIN'T EVEN BETTER THAN THAT! THERE'S A LOT OF NEWER WWE WRESTLERS TO CHOOSE FROM, BUT THE GAME IS VERY UNINTERESTING, HAS BAD COMMENTARY DURING MATCHES, AND THE CONTROLS ARE STILL BAD. THIS IS THE WORST OF THE SMACKDOWN SERIES AND THIS WAS THE WWE'S PS2 DEBUT. THE GRAPHICS ARE ALSO PRETTY BAD TOO.

3RD to SEQUALS
If you want the best wrestling game(or 1 of the best game ever)get SMACKDOWN HERE COMES THE PAIN.

This is good nowadays and it beats the other wrestling games on the Gamecube and Xbox.

One of the worst of the series.
I was gonna stop at SmackDown! 4, but I thought I'd go ahead and get the rest of the series just so I could have it. The first one on my list was this one. Now, the first few time I played it, I was like, yeah, this is okay. But I as I went on, I started getting bored. Eventually, I just started playing SmackDown! 4 again. Now, the game is okay, but it's not great.

Again, the graphics are better then SmackDown! 2, but worse then SmackDown! 4. There are more then 40 superstars to choose from, less then both of the previously mentioned. Exhibition mode still has alot of matches to choose from. There's still single, tag team, six man tag, handicap, Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, hardcore, falls count anywhere, survival, and special. Special matches include Cage, I Quit, Table, Ladder, TLC, Special Referee, Hell in a Cell, Ironman, 3 Stages of Hell, and Slobber Knocker. The controls aren't very different from SmackDown! 2, so you won't have to much trouble figuring it all out if you've played the second one.

Story mode isn't much better then SmackDown! 2, and is REALLY short. The only good thing is the unlockables, and there's ALOT of those, so it's something to look forward to. Other then that, Story mode is pretty boring.

Create mode is pretty much the same, except for Create a Pay-Per-View not being in. Create a Superstar is quite a big improvement from SmackDown! 2, where you have even more control. There are more types of moves to be assigned this time, and you also have the power to change the default superstars move set. Create a Taunt is still very pointless, and Create a Stable is the same as SmackDown! 2, except you can't assign as many people to one stable.

Theatre mode is actually quite a bit better then SmackDown! 4. You get to watch a behind the scences of how the commercials for SmackDown! 1 and 2 were made. They're pretty funny to.

All in all, SmackDown! 3 is one of the worst of the series. If you have a PS2, I'd recommend buying SmackDown! 4 instead. But if you want to own all of them, this is still a good game. ... Read more

Too easy to play...too easy to get annoyed with.
I found this game fun for about five minutes. Then the little helper guy just got annoying. There's no challenge to a game when you are told what to do constantly. After I built three theme parks, I tried to build a fourth, but you have to delete one so only three are open. I decided the game was too frustrating and gave up.

Wonderful
I played this on my friend's playstation, and It is awesome! I loved it. I feel that it is better then the PC version of this game because in the PC version, you can't actually walk around the park like you can in the playstation version.

Another great thing about this game is that it is different. You don't go around killing people in a blood bath. My mom is always complaining about those type of games. Anyway, this is a must have for any gamer out there!

AWSOME GAME!
Sim Theme Park is a great way to make a boring day into a great day!It will make you smile,laugh and even make your'e own Theme Park--------the way you want it!I reccomend this game to you,get it on PC too!

My Favorite Game!!!!
Sim Theme park is great. it is fun and chalenging. You can even ride roller coasters and walk around on paths. But I think they should have made it easier

Good But gets boreding and anyoing.
Its really fun and allc beacuse you get vuild stuff and people come to your park and sometimes kids throw up. but its a cool game when i first got it i played it known stop then it got boreing. and this little ant dude keeps poping up all the time! so i stoped playing for a day then i went back to it. its truly a fun game. i say you should get it! ...

If you want to get a fishing game
First point: if you don't want to get a fishing game, don't spend your money on a fishing game. If you find the whole idea of fishing repulsive, and buy a fishing game anyway, that's your own fault.
Now, the game: Gameplay basically goes thusly: you look a looped video of a lake or river, listening to pretty nature sounds, you pick out a rod and a lure or fly, you cast. When the lure sinks, or a fish grabs it, you switch to an underwater view to "play" the fish. The manual tells you exactly how to do this, which is good, because I think it might impossible to figure it out on your own. When the fish gets close, you switch back to pretty-nature-scene view to land it. Repeat.
I like this game for two reasons: one, i am female, and not one to play video games much. All of my male friends are better than me at most games. But I was the first one to figure out how to catch a trout.
Second: The game is really relaxing. Some may consider "relaxing" a synonym for "repetitive" or "boring" but that is entirely up to you. I got into this fishing zone, until they pried the controller out of my hands to play Tekken Tag anyway. But i thought it was pretty good stress relief, anyway.

OH WHAT A BAD GAME!
This game is horrible! All you do is sit there and throw out your line and reel it in. Throw out an reel it. Throw it out and reel it in.... you cant reel in a fish either because the always start shaking and get away. I have been stuck at the yamemme trout level forever and not caught a single fish there yet! This game makes the real sport of fishing look horrible. REAL fishermen like me prefer games that you can actually move around in a boat and try to find the fish. This game is horrible. Just do me a favor and don't buy it. Also, don't get action bass either. It is better than this game anyways, at least you can see your lure move under water..... But however if you have to get one of the two, get Action Bass.

This Game is the Bomb
THis game is the bast it has great graphics and u get to catch all different kinds of fish!

Its Just like reel fishing!!
This is a really really cool game! I just got it recently and spend alot of time playing it. The people who don't like this game don't even play it for 5 mins and assume the entire thing is boring.In one of the levels, you catch a 10 foot marlin. This is a really good game.But don't just listen to me, rent it and try it for yourself.

Mediocre game with plenty to do...
I'd give this game a so-so rating of 3 stars. There's plenty of challenge levels, well over 100 different items to get (lures, poles, rigs), and an variety of environments offering a veritable ocean/lake/river full of different fish to catch (Bass, carp, trout, ocean fish, and PREHISTORIC fish!). You even have 3 different aquariums to keep your trophy winning catches in (2 Freshwater:lake and running/river, 1 Saltwater). You can also set the difficulty by turning on/off depth and drag settings. The graphics are nicer than most other fishing games.

HOWEVER...The game play can be very dull and routine at times. Certain hotspots on the screen always generate a nibble, taking some of the challenge/fun out of it. The hardest part of the game is hooking the fish before it steals your bait. Certain fish will have you smashing the controller in frustration. Each aquarium can only hold 5 fish at a time, which then have to be TEDIOUSLY fed and looked after (I've come back to find all fish dead because I forgot to feed them before going on a fishing trip).

One nagging question, you are able to knock on the aquarium tanks, yet the instructions advise against it. Why bother to add this feature at all then?

All in all a good game if you want to fish for more than bass or bluegill, but not a MUST HAVE (like EA Sports Championship Bass). ... Read more

Great for Parent & Child Together
I sat down with my two daughters ages 5 and 3 and played this game WITH them.We had a great time with it.They loved the adventure and I helped them to understand how to look for Ken and follow the clues.Now that they have been through the game they can play it alone.Especially my 5 year old.All of the clues change for the next game.I give it a thumbs up!

Fine for an older child
My daughter is 9 and she has enjoyed all the "Detective Barbie" games in the past.We own the first 2 games for the PC and purchased this one for our Playstation.Both my daughter and my son (6 - almost 7) love solving the mysteries.I think Mattel should just "up" the age on this game.It is way too hard for a 5 year old.I agree with the other reviews on this point.In my opnion, most barbie games are good for 7 & up.(Secret Agent, Super Sports etc.)

This game is too complicated for me, let alone my 5-year-old
Do I have to give it a star at all?This is by far the worst game my daughter owns. It's so difficult to play that my daughter needs my help constantly. And I find it extremely slow, and frustrating. Trust me, this game will aggravate both you AND your child.Save your money, folks.

Not for Barbie-age kids
This game is too complicated for my 7 year old.Even with my help she was frustrated.By the time she is old enough to play this game alone she will think she is too old to do anything with Barbie in the title.Save your money.

NotSo Easy
I bought this game with high expections for my 5 year old Barbie- loving daughter who has just begun to take an interest in the Playstation the past few months.You are Barbie in this game trying to solve a who-dunnit mystery by talking to passengers and crew on a cruise ship and at various ports.Manuevering is not so easy when more advanced reading skils are required--older kids would probably fare much better.With much of my help, we made it far enough to discover the missing item, however my daughter lost interest since she couldn't do much of the game by herself. ...

Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour
This game is based on real Walt Disney World rides such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Blizzard Beach. This game is okay but it is for the younger kids or it will be too easy. I win every time I play. This game is somewhat enjoying, but it gets old quickly.

Gameplay:4/10: It isn't too fun but it would be for 5-7 year olds if they can play.

Graphics:4/10: Mushy and gross. I can't tell what the level is without looking.

Sound:5/10: Okay,it's just music that fits that place like on Dinosaur! the music is prehistoric.

Control:7/10: Easy, fast carts to speed all through Haunted Mansion. So easy, a 3 year old could control this cart without trying.

Overall:20/40: That is a 2.5! Round up and this game's got a 3! This game could get better!

Mom of 5 year old boy
My son loves this game.His favorite is the Haunted Mansion.This is not just for kids.My husband and 13 year old daughter enjoy playing, too.It's a nice family activity.

like the theme park
it is so fun. i like the haunted manshin in the game. it is so cool

Great for **ALL** ages!
Do * NOT* mistake this for a kids game! This is a game that is fun for everyone. Magical Racing is easily the BEST cart racer I have played on the Playstation. I haven't had so much fun with a racing game in quite sometime. The tracks are well thought out and fans of Disneyland will love racing their favorite rides.The controls are really tight. This is one game where your time will be spent actually racing rather than peeling yourself from the walls surrounding the track. Some of the turns are extremely sharp so be sure to make your vehicle "hop" so you can make the turn while in the air. Once you have that figured out the rest is smooth sailing. If all games where put together this well you'd never think twice about parting with your money!
***ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC***

Fab-2-the-max!
This game is Amazing! I've never seen a better 1! This game hasrealistic looks of the rides (I know that because I have been there 14 times). There is one glitch I have found. When u r racing in Haunted Masion if you drive along the fence u can get stuck behind it! Any way, It's really cool though. I reccomend it 2 anybody who has been 2 Disney World and who hasn't. This game is good 4 people who like 2 race and have liked other games like:
