Monsters vs. Aliens

My 5 year old son got this for his 5th birthday a week ago and it is almost complete. It only has 4 chapters and each chapter has around 6 scenes and the scenes are short. This is a spendy game and defintely not worth the price!Buy Monsters vs. Aliens!

NBA Live 08

Boring game. I am a fan of NBA live games, but this is just dull... Buy NBA Live 08!

Cooking Mama World Kitchen

We had such high hopes for this game as we LOVE the DS version. My kids & I tried it as soon as we got it and we found it so hard to play. It's a very frustrating game & we gave up on it after a few times. Really wish we would have gotten another game instead.Buy Cooking Mama World Kitchen!

Championship Foosball

Not crazy about it but maybe with some practice will enjoy it more. Definitely would be more fun with 4 players.Buy Championship Foosball!

SNK Arcade Classics Volume 1

Remember when those Neo-Geo systems first came out? The games were so expensive that only one or two of the richest kids in school had one or two games. Or at least, that's how I saw it! Now you can own those rippin' expensive games for a fraction of the cost. And, all-in-all, it's worth it. There is some repetition with the fighting games, but that may be where the greatest strength for this collection comes from depending on your personal tastes. I personally loved the side-scrolling platformers; Metal Slug and Top Hunters are cool as hell, with pretty impressive graphics considering their age. The sports games, Baseball Stars 2 and Super Sidekicks 3 seem incredibly difficult, but then I remind us all that most of these games were designed for the arcade in which precious quarters can't be earned with a game that takes minimal effort to beat! Sengoku give us some nice Double Dragon action in a Japanese spirit world setting (ala Ronin Warriors). There are a couple other games, including a shooter that are interesting, but I haven't had much time to play, yet. Bottom line, dudes and dudettes, if you're interested in a little retro fix, and considering the lack of these types of games on the Wii, you won't regret dropping a few bucks on this collection.Buy SNK Arcade Classics Volume 1!

Wii Rock Band 2 Standalone Guitar

We bought the Wii Rock Band. It came with drum set (with el cheapo wooden drum sticks for the decent and functional, cymbal-less drum set) and the Rock Band 1 black and white, small plastic guitar.

Then we got the Rock Band 2 guitar.

Both Rock Band 1 and 2 guitars work well, though the Rock Band 1 guitar got tired of me strumming from low2up and the strum bar would only work up2low.

The RB2 guitar is much prettier with the fake wood grain paneling. The RB2 guitar is nice in giving a small feedback 'click' when pressing on the different colored tone bars on the neck of the guitar.

I use both guitars and have come to have no real preference however. As an adult RB1 and RB2 are about the only Wii games I will play, having little liking for the Wii controllers (I much prefer the Nintendo GameCube type controllers).

I only wish more songs were available, more easily for RB1 and RB2.

And that an adult sized RB1/2 wireless guitar was available from Nintendo. From Nintendo as I've found in general to avoid 3rd party controllers, particularly the ones that sell for less than the Nintendo units.

The Sims 2 Pets

For a PC game on the Wii, it wasnt bad at all. My wife spent many hours playing it. I would rate this used by a person that has not played PC version. You will get more out of it.Buy The Sims 2 Pets!
