Ghostbusters the Video Game Amazon.com Exclusive Slimer Edition


i had bought this version over the regular wii version to see what the statue had looked like. it looks kind of neat. its a plastic statue not a polystone or resin.
the key chain looks neat i wanted to add it to my keys but i guess ill just keep it in the box. as you notice by the picture of the game, the case doesnt come with the slimer cover. you have to print one out when they email you a link.
now onto the game play. the game is pretty fun especially when you have two players. thats what i liked about this version compared to the ps3 and 360. even though i might get the ps3 version for graphics as the graphics in this game is cartoony; which isnt bad but i would have like it if the characters actually looked like the movie counterparts. the story is decent and the game play isnt bad. you control your proton blaster with the wii remote which i also like over the competition's versions, its more fun and draws you into the game. once you have locked onto a ghost after you got its power down you have to swing your remote in the direction the arrows are pointing to in order to knockout the ghost while hitting the b button to release the trap. in the game you basically go around the city dicovering disturbances that have manifested and are releasing ghosts into new york. it'll take you to places from the movies such as the library and the hotel where they find slimer. in the game you try to collect sketches as well as take pictures to add to toben's spirit guide. which has no real purpose. as well as create as much damage to the places as you want as theres no really purpose to the amount of money the city has to pay.
the only real gripes i have about this game are first the graphics, it should have better graphic and two you cant play as any of the ghostbusters, you only can play as the male or female apprentice. but in all the versions you are the male apprentice except this version you can play as a female for those female ghostbuster fans, in which i played as the female, shes kind of cute.Buy Ghostbusters the Video Game Amazon.com Exclusive Slimer Edition!

FIFA 08


Hey folks! This is an amazing game! Also here's a link to my favorite band from the game. They're called Jupiter One. They're an Pop Rock Electronic band. Their music gets played throughout game. I did some searching and found their album...IT'S AMAZING!

Here's a link to Jupiter One's newest album.

Tomb Raider Anniversary


I played the first Tomb Raider game on the Sega Saturn in the '90s and it's always been my favorite game. I got this one for Wii as a gift and worried that it would be too similar as I still remember stuff from the original. Don't worry--it's not! The locations are the same but they've changed enough in design to still be interesting. There are also new puzzles, different ways to move, different controls and new features for the Wii that make it feel like a new game that's oddly familiar. I haven't finished it but am loving it! It's just as frustrating as the original game when you're stumped (and I'll admit to having looked for a couple of answers online), which makes it just as rewarding when you accomplish whatever you're trying to do. I recommend it for anyone who prefers puzzle solving and timing challenges to straight shoot-'em-up action. The controls are different and the shooting can be tricky at first but once you get the hang of it it's not a problem and Lara can do so much more than in the original that it makes up for a little irritation during the learning curve. Buy Tomb Raider Anniversary!

Go Play Circus Star


I love the Wii Balance Board and it gets a lot of use in this game.

Each player is a circus star doing various feats, winning or losing fans and earning money to unlock new feats and arenas. Some feats are harder than others to figure out how to do, but they are fun and challenging.

After unlocking many feats, this game is really great to use in the practice/training mode at parties. No scores are given but the ringmaster will let you know how you are doing with his rhymes and prose. People take turns and have fun!

I love the knife throwing, rola-bola, monkey dodging, elephant riding, flying silks, trapeze, and the tight-rope is far superior to the one in the Wii-fit.

I don't really care much for the magic act.

The feats load faster than the exercises on the Wii-fit and the UI is easier too. Loads of fun, and I was surprised the next day by how many muscles were hurting after sever hours of play on the balance board.Buy Go Play Circus Star!

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night


I enjoyed this game. But -- After owning and playing Zelda, I guess I am spoiled to the better graphics and much better control handling. Many places in the game, there should have been better target control with flying Spyro, and other game movements. I have this for the Wii Systema and I felt like I was struggling to have efficient control over the character. For one thing, if you miss a vital token, it would be nice to be able to return to previous areas that have been played to replay or retrieved missed items. You can do this in Zelda and it makes for a better game.

It is a nice family created game and I hope they continue with sequels and improving grapics, game control movements, and longer game play. I will purchase the sequels for the Wii. Buy The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night!

Madden NFL 07


I have all 3 Maddens on the Wii and this is by far the best there is. Want to zoom out and choose a player? Simply aim the controller at the guy and hit the A button. Simple. None of that cycling thru players and missing your guy. Sure, there are some bugs but just choose fantasy draft and play franchise mode. It will keep you entertained even today with the outdated rosters. It truly is the best version out there.Buy Madden NFL 07!

Travel/Storage Case Designed for Wii Fit (Colors May Vary)


I wish it would let me give it 2 and 1/2 stars. Oh well.

Overall I'm glad I bought this since it was pretty cheap. However this case really does the bare minimum. The balance board fits in nicely, but the bag isn't really padded at all. It provides some protection, but if you drop it the board will probably still be damaged. The adjustable strap is a good idea and is pretty comfy. There is a small pouch on the outside which is useful for the carpet contacts and maybe 2 games. Overall I reccomend it, but it doesn't provide much protection at all.

Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil


I first played Resident Evil as a senior in high school, and I didn't really like it. I was surprised that it made game of the year (If I remember right). It wasn't until I played part 2 that I began to like the series. Code Veronica for the Saturn was stunning, and was the only reason I bought a Saturn.

I didn't even know there had been a remake of part 1 until 3 days ago, so I borrowed my friend's Wii and tried it out. I thought this game was incredible.

Visuals/Graphics --> beautiful. The gripe I have with the fixed camera angles is that it's hard to see what's really going on or about to happen. Sometimes, as in the real part 1, I'd be fighting an enemy while the screen kept popping back and forth b/w two views. Annoying. However, you can learn to deal with it. The big reason I like the fixed angles is the beauty. I've yet to feel that RE4 and RE5 have as much beauty as RE0 and this one. Also, as one reviewer said better, it does make the game scarier.

Sound --> terrific. I love the zombie sounds, as monotonous as they may be. I played this on my 7.1 system, and hearing that random thunder scared the heck out of me. You could kill a monster, stand there for a second, and then the thunder just goes off. Timing! It just sounded great! I also loved the sound of that stun gun destroying the zombies.

Gameplay/Moves --> great. The dagger and stun gun were awesome. Movement is a bit clumsy, but, it's like the others, really.

Overall, this game was a blast. To the updated graphics/sound to big-as* Neptune (that scared the heck out of me) to Tyrant (I hated them all, except this one), this game is worth the buy, and I'm considering buying a Wii just for this game. Also, the Lisa Trever storyline was a great addition, and with a disturbing theme. My last gripe is about those giving this game a low score. They seem to keep comparing this game to RE4 & 5. Those two games ARE NOT, to me, true to the way the series started. I never thought I'd see an RE game that reminded me of Doom or Halo, but it occurred, and I'm curious as to who/what made Capcom reinvent (?) the series like this (obviously I can't stand Doom/Halo). Comparing RE4 & 5 to earlier Resident Evils I think is confusing, as I think these latest two games are tailored to a younger generation. Nevertheless, thank you Capcom for this game.Buy Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil!
