Music Reviews

You have to get this game for Xbox or Ps2. If you love skateboarding you'll love this 8 level game. Filled with new skaters, and secret ones. All you have to do is beat the game a certain amount of times and, you'll get rewarded. If you beat the game and get all gold medals in the three competitions you'll get a secret level. By the way I bet your wondering what T.H.P.S.3 stands for. Well it stands for Tony Hawks pro skater 3. I absolutely love this game. Some of the music just stinks, but you can adjust the music to what you want to listen to. A down side of the game is sometimes the skaters pass through objects (like ramps.) That takes the realism away. I don't mean to brag but i rule at this game. My high score is about 200 million. That's with cheat codes though.
I give this game two thumbs way up. I recomend this game for Xbox. I think it has better grphics then Gamecube or Ps2. Even if the characters pass through objects it still is pretty realistic. It's just so awesome. Get this game, you won't regret it.

With each new Tony Hawk release comes higher expectations. Tony Hawk 3 met and exceeded those expectations. More eye-boggling special tricks were added as well as the essential Revert trick, which, like the all powerful Manuel, allows players to link tricks together and create HUGE comboes for maximum points. Bigger, more realistic looking levels are just BEGGING to be tricked on. The variety of multiplayer modes will give you and your buds hours and hours of entertainment. Create-a-Park and Create-a-Skater are included again, and have been much improved. Not having to buy tricks or stats (stats have to be FOUND instead), and also being able to outfit your character a LOT more thoroughly makes for a much more innovative gaming experience. Being able to listen to your own music instead of being forced to listen to the game's music can make playing more enjoyable. Ollie, the Magic Bum from THPS2 is a playable character!

There were only a few aspects of the game that I didn't particularily like. The first one is the fact that most of the soundtrack for the game wasn't very good. It was just too mainstream. The other thing I didn't like was that on Create-a-Park, there was a limit to the number of gaps you could make. Something that other people may not like is the control sceme. If you think about it, it's VERY similar to how the N64 controller worked with the Tony Hawk games. It might take a little getting used to, but the controls are fine. If you still don't like the controller, I suggest for you to consider buying the new, smaller, easier button pressing controller made by Microsoft. It's called CONTROLLER S.

Avoiding ending on some bad notes I will simply say this: If you are an Xbox owner or are thinking of being one, then you NEED to get this game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 stands tall as one of the best console games out there. Expect to see Tony Hawk 4 on all three "next-gen" platforms this holiday season!!!

Tony Hawk 1 was a classic, I wish they would make it for Xbox....But Tony Hawk 3 is the best. I have played this game over and over and never get tired of it. You do everything on a skateboard on 3, unlike Underground which I dont care much for. The career levels are great with different scenery everytime. Over all this game is a must have for any gamer or skater....

Exeptionaly cool game if you are not looking for a real basketball game but is just the same fun as one I've it's funier than just an old fashiond basket whit faults and free trows
This one is BIG just like ea-sports-big big you'll love it

When I first bouight this game is was hard at first (Obviously playing in "Legend" mode) however once you get the hang of it and start pullin off crazy trick moves (and these are REAL LIFE MOVES, if you don't believe me pick up one of the AND 1 Mix Tape DVD's) the game is highly addictive. Depending on you're created players tendencies he'll earn a certain nickname (if he's a defensive monster, a scoring machine, drops constant dimes, a pick-pocket, etc..). Be a legend mode is really the heart of the game as you start out with a bunch of baller wanna-be's playing in tournaments. However once you steal some of the players off other teams you beat your supporting cast becomes better which makes your player less awful and able to pick up points to boost your players abilities. If your good enough in the long run you'll end up aquiring Stretch, Biggie Little, Dime, Osmosis and the other unlockable street lengends (mind you these are REAL life ballers, not people made up by the game).

NBA Challenge is nice and better when you build up your created player and end up schooling the old heads.

Gamebreakers are much easier to pull off when you pullin off crazy tricks (sick alley-oops, ankle-breakin ball handling which translates into points, or even better into an alley-oop). The more combination of tricks, the higher the trick points which will get your gamebreaker metter lighting up after scoring only 3 or 4 points. The key is if you keep using the same trick the same times in a row, you get less trick points after the first time you used it, and you don't want players like Shaq tryin to do "off the heezies" when he has no ball-handling skills cause you'll lose points for the ball getting stolen.

The game is endless, unlocking M&N (Mitchell & Ness) throwback jerseys, old school players like Doc, Bird, Magic, Pistol, Wilt, The Ice-Man. Get it cause I said so!

A great casual-fun sports game, NBA Street 2 lets you take your favorite NBA pros out into street games. Trick shots and signature moves make the game interesting.

A great training area lets you learn all the moves with as much time as you need. Replay each type of move as many times as you need to, and get yourself comfortable.

There are over 150 players to work with, from all eras of basketball heroes. The range of moves to use and unlock is pretty amazing, and there's a wealth of locations and gameplay to keep things interesting. The game starts slowly enough that even thoughs not really familiar with basketball can learn as they go.

The graphics are great, with well animated figures doing amazing moves and looking quite realistic. The graphics are on par with Dead or Alive III, with leaves floating down and skidding along, great textures on surfaces and nicely done shadows.

The sound and music really draw you in. There's a great selection of music that cycle in the background, and the 'commentator' has some brilliantly funny lines. Of course usually your friends in the room are cheering over his comments, as you execute an amazing triple-trick move and trash your opponents.

Really a fun game even for non-sports enthusiasts. If you enjoy basketball, you'll become addicted and be dreaming about the game when you finally get some sleep!

NBA STREET by ea big has great grapics awesome sound and it feels like ur actually playin the basketball game its 3on 3 the fast arcade type of game.kinda like blitz and nhl hitz only 4 basketball though. u can do tons of funny tricks and they look sweet. u get points 2 do special shots and dunks.u can get lots of secret characters like a wigger white boy 2 a giant chinese guy or an evil alien.u face all the nba teams and 6 special street teams and create lots of players with great looks and great multiplayer modes.this game is the best basketball game i ever played great replay value.keep on makin the great games ea big BOOYA!

Sure this game isn't as good as NBA 2K2 or NBA Live 2002, but who cares? It takes the NBA game outside onto the courts and is very fun. Although it doesn't show the players names when you play you still have fun making sweet dunks, amazing three's and buzzer-beating full-court shots. You not only get points for scoring but you get points for the style of the shot, type of shot and distance of shot. For example if you do a sweet alley-oop you might get 2000 points. Taking the game to the streets in NBA Street is so fun... This game isn't as good as 2K2 or Live because it isn't as realistic like the NBA, but it is still very fun.
EA Sports has yet again made another great game adding to it's awesome games like SSX Tricky, NBA Live and Madden NFL Football. This is a must-buy game for all Gamecube owners.
Fun: 5/5
Controls: 4/5
Graphics: 5/5
Gameplay: 5/5
Overall: 5/5

NBA Street is awesome. It has loads of trick moves, including dunks. The gamebreakers and busted rims are cool in every aspect. The player models and create-a-player are very realistic. It even has "Street School", which teaches you the gameplay. There are downsides, though. There are only two modes of gameplay which are kind of similar. The commentary is a tad bit annoying. Still, this is a must have for gamers.

If you are an avid football fan, this game is right up your alley. It has all the teams, games, mascots, fight songs. Even the coaches look similar to the real ones. The likeness to Pat Hill with Fresno State is almost scary. I personally enjoy the Dyansty mode where you can take a team from worst to first with good recruiting and good on-field play. The only complaint I have is some of Lee Corso's blatherings while calling games. The commentary isn't very repetitive, but just some of it is corny. But, it's all about entertainment, and you can always turn it off. All, that being said, the game is awesome.

EA Sports pleased a lot of college football fans by deciding to release NCAA 2003 on all 3 platforms this year. Gamers who played both NCAA 2002 and Madden 2002 may remember that although both games use the same engine, NCAA's gameplay was more attuned to the offense-oriented play found in college football while Madden seemed faster and played more defensively. While both games were the best playing football games to date, there were still issues with "money" plays and unrealistic running games (in Madden, running to the outside was much easier than running inside which is not what you'd expect because of the speed of the pursuit defenders in the NFL). You could fiddle around with the AI sliders to tune the gameplay but it was often a laborious process and often frustrating because everyone played with different sliders.

Although NCAA 2003's gameplay is eerily familiar, I decided to purchase it because of it plays so beautifully out of the box. One thing that I noticed right away is the ability to break long runs up the middle (I play on All-American mode). This was sorely missing in the previous EA Football titles. Running plays outside are no longer sure 10 yard gains. The passing defense AI has been much improved to increase the number of interceptions (the defender will catch a majority of balls that come right to him whereas last year's version made every secondary defender look like Rickey Dudley).

As far as the features go, NCAA is basically building on what they know works. The Dynasty mode is terrific as you can take over a team, compete in BCS rankings and even recruit players during offseason. There is also the new Mascot game and the Rivarly game. I'm not big on features but the gameplay definitely hooks you in and the features make you come back for more.

I haven't played Madden 2003 yet but by all accounts, it should be a great game. If you're planning to get just one football game this year, you should wait until Madden comes out and see which is better. Madden features create a play option and special practice modes. For me, I chose NCAA 2003 because of the varied gameplay (running option plays and all the different schools with different styles of play). This is the most complete football game to date (at least until Madden 2003 comes out).

This is the best game I have ever played. I can stay on for hours at a time. The best part of this game is he camera view. It's closer to the field then Madden and taht makes it much beter to play.
Some games make it impossible to get passed their offense line and you can never get a sack. other games make it to easy. This one is just right.
I love the campus challenges. You can get hall of fame teams such as All-Pro Florida or All-American 2000 team. Then there are team pennants and stadium bowl and mascot teams. If there is a game that you need to get this is the one.

I got this game for Christmas, and at first I wasn't to excited. But I played probably 3-4 hours a day till now, and Im about 97% complete!!

I recomend this game to anyone who plays golf. It seriously can help you with your swing! And even if you dont play golf still buy this. It is worth every penny and more. Definatly best game in my archive.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. THERE IS GREAT GRAPHICS AND LOTS OF PLAYERS. I WOULD SPEAD MY MONEY ON THIS GAME IF I WAS YOU. NO ONE CAN TURN THIS GAME DOWN, BUY NOW!

More of the same fun in EA's visually stunning 2003 version of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003". A most realistic golf SIM if there ever was one. Brilliant scenery. Trees and brush swaying randomly as winds pass them. An occasional animal or bird can be seen or heard. Smooth character movements (outside of one camera angle where any of the golfer's neck looks awkward). The "Total Precision" Swing" takes away the distracting swingmeter. 13 courses in 2003 (compared to 6 in the 2002 edition). All the various modes of play are back, including Tournament/Match/Stroke/Skins/Speed. More pro players join the ranks... Singh, Appleby, Els, Leonard, Furyk, Cink, etc... not to mention a handful of unknown amateurs made just for the game. I know the 2004 is all ready out, but maybe the 2005 version will bring about some "fantasy" course where you could play or unlock the old-timers... like Arnold Palmer, Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, or the 'Golden Bear' himself. The one and only thing wrong with this game is that there is NO save capability while you're playing a course... you must complete all 18 holes before you can save your game. Huge reply value - alone or with friends. Great graphics. Great game.

Splinter Cell is awesome! It has great graphics, kick-butt stealth tactics, and blow your-mind-off weapons! You can move in the shadows so no one can see you, you can pick up bodies, you can hack into computers, and use lethal or non-lethal force!
If you like strategy and/or stealth games, you'll love this! If you like an all out war, do not get this game! The story line is great but it could be longer. Still, the leves are long so it will keep you busy! There is a hard mode and normal mode. I suggest playing in hard mode. Normal mode is easy. Now, a message to all people who think that all shooters have to be 1st person:Splinter Cell is better in 3rd person! After you beat this on normal and hard mode, get Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow!

Splinter Cell looked like an enhanced Metal Gear Solid for me, before I've played it... And that's not quite it..
You're Sam Fisher, hired for the CIA. You can kill, spy, do whatever you want, but if you get caught, the American Government will deny your existence.
- Graphics: The shadows are pretty good, the scenaries are nice too, the visors look like Metroid Prime's, but the graphics cannot be compared to Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil and Metroid Prime for the GameCube. But it's not bad, definetly...
- Sound: The voice acting is OK, the sound overall isn't the best ever, but it's not bad. You just don't notice that... But it makes you nervous, happy or whatever that's up to that situation...
- Fun: The game is fun because you have to be very stealthy, throw objects to make guards look confused.. It's like Metal Gear Solid, but with different elements of stealth.
- Educative: You kill terrorists, right? You're working for a good cause... If you kill any civilians, the missions are over.
Overall, it's cool, but not a great game. Just rent it, unless you really like games like Metal Gear Solid. The replay value isn't that great because once you beat it there aren't so much extras.... And the game is really hard too...

I rented this game because I was never much of a fan of the Rainbow Six series but people told me this game was good. They weren't wrong, this game is fantastic. Along the same lines as other sneak titles like Hitman and Thief, this game requires the player rely on stealth more than firepower. However, that isn't to say that it doesn't have its splendid moments of gratifying carnage. Let me put it into bulletpoints.
1) This game has some of the best AI I have ever seen in a game. The enemy actively searches you out and is excellent at taking cover and even at pinning you down. It even has the enemy work as a team at times - which can be frustrating yes, but always fun.
2) Graphics are top notch. I really can't emphasize this enough. I'm still astounded by the amount of care that went into designing this game.
3) There are so many ways to dispatch with your enemy - take your pick. Grenades, bullets, sniper rifle, various stun weapons, even a bottle to the head. There is definite replayability here.
4) Cool, cool gadgets. Including a nice pair of night vision goggles with an infared setting.
5) Decent cutscenes - they could have been better
6) The fact that you can take the enemy hostage and use him as a human shield was a definite plus.
7) Challenging, but not impossible. I usually end up getting frustrated and cheat with most games. Not the case here. The learning curve is perfect - always a challenge, but I never threw down my controller in disgust (okay, maybe once).
8) Convenient save points prevent you from getting too far and then dying - so you never need to restart from the beginning of a level. Best of all, its automatic.
While the game has its frustrations - sometimes mission objectives can be a bit muddy and there are levels where you can't kill anyone (including a super cool level in which you break into the CIA) forcing you to rely on arguably less entertaining non-lethal methods of dispatching with your foe - overall this is a solid game worth every gaming penny that you might spend. Although I finished the game in a little over a week of solid play, I will most likely buy it in the near future. I'm sure it will only get better the second time through.

the dark is afraid of me
Pros:
Stunning Graphics
Superb sound effects
suprisingly good voice acting
addictive gameplay
eyeshine is sweet
Stealth kills are enjoyable(Especially if you have weapons)
The stealth portion is quite good(It's sorta like splinter cell, once you get spotted, you're pretty much dead)
the fights are pretty fun(I never was a fan of first person fighting)
This is another great title for Xbox(Which is finally getting it's share of good games this year(Splinter Cell, Ninja Gaiden,ect.)
Cons:
Stealth can be hard(Especially without a tranquilizer gun)
I wish this game had some multiplayer(That would have added replay value)
Way too short(Beat it in 2 days, but it was a nice 2 days)
They should have had a huger aresonal(I only used the same 3 weapons, but they are destructable)
I wish they had longer times where I could use that heavy gaurd(Cuz I was blazing like whoa with it)
I wish they had a kitana,( so I can chop up gaurds that try to run after they see me)
It get's repetitive(YOu go back and fourth to jail, thats annoying)

I never thought I'd like Vin Deisel again, After licking Pitch Black and Knockaround guys, I hated XXX and A man apart. But after playing this, I have to say, like him or not, Vin Deisel does get the job done here in voice acting. To those who like Vin Deisel, You must buy this game. To those who like FPS, and this to your collection.

peace

I really enjoyed this game, and if you are at all a fan of the films (Pitch Black or the Chronicles of Riddick), then you will love this game. In fact, it is absolutely necessary that you play it. I would, however, recommend that you rent it, because you can beat it in about 10 hours (which is a short 1-2 days adventure).

The game is (one of?) the first to employ a new graphics technique called normal mapping, which is surprisingly sweet, and I promise that no screenshot you've ever seen does the game justice. The true glory of the graphics comes in the real-time lighting. The characters are very realistic (all of them, even the NPC's), and the only downside is the glitchy nature of the models during the cutscenes.

As a special note to parents and those who care, THIS GAME IS RATED M FOR A REASON! Cussing (spoken and written) and other prison-like qualities are prevalent in the game, and the game is very dark. Gore can be turned off, but that doesn't really help since you spend most of the game snapping necks.

The plot is completely unique and completely addicting, with several twists along the way. The intro is beautiful, and you can't help but get sucked into this game. You are Riddick, and the dark is definitely afraid of you!

This is my type of game: a massive, self-contained structure featuring a convoluted, expansive system of ventilation shafts, tunnels, corridors and elevators, where there are realistic-looking plumbing and electrical conduits running above every ceiling, where every room contains hidden gratings and shafts to crawl through and crates to climb and reach higher levels, a gritty and highly detailed prison complex clearly rendered by people who have actual knowledge of building construction.

What I liked most about this game is its uncanny resemblence to the Marathon series of games (a mac-only FPS predating and surpassing Quake and its minions, and the forerunner to HALO.) Everything, from the gritty wall panels and industrial-style texturing in the prison to the rock walls of the mine, smacks of Bungie level design. If they ever remade the Marathon series, and they should, they'd be well off using the engine of 'Butcher Bay.'

The gameplay is fun, rarely frustrating, and there are always many multiple ways around any given problem. You will find yourself exploring around, talking to people, just looking for hidden areas and noteworthy items. It is a thinking man's shooter.

This game was very repetive, i comepleted i in 2h, i would not recomened this game to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since my favorite types of games are racing games, I thought I would give ATV Off Road Fury 2 a try. I had previously played a demo of the first ATV Off Road Fury and wasn't too impressed. It seemed to be just a regurgitation of Rainbow Studio's already successfull Motocross Madness 2 (PC game) with the only real change being that the vehicle is an ATV instead of a dirt bike. It took about an hour or so to warm up to ATV Off Road Fury 2 because it was just more of the same. That doesn't mean it's not a good racing game though. There are plenty of tracks, but the problem is that once you've mastered the riding style, it's easy to win most if not all of the races. The meat of the game is spent racing and earning 'Profile' points so that you can unlock new tracks, ATVs, riding gear etc. Unlocking new gear doesn't seem to do anything but waste away your points, so don't waste your time. The new ATVs that can be unlocked are fun to play with though. You can catch some massive air with the higher end ATVs. :-) The bummer is that as soon as you unlock one, all the CPU rider's seem to have better ATVs as well, so you can't earn a ton of points and then unlock a good ATV to smoke the competetion. So again, what's the point when all the riders go the same speed regardless of the ATV you are on? Slow ATV = Slow CPU riders. Fast ATV = Fast CPU riders. }:-\ Weak.
The only real difference between any of the tracks seems to be the amount of traction you get on the terrain. The dirt tracks are grippy and easy to corner on, while the snow levels have ice that will send you spinning.
Again, since I am a fan of Motocross Madness 2, I am somewhat biased against this game, but here are my Pro's and Con's.

Pro's:
Good Racing.
Online play.

Con's:
Load Times -you have to wait just to have a graphic of a trophy to appear....
Not alot of depth -easy to beat in just a couple of hours.
Not cutomizable enough.
Lasting Appeal.
ATVs ?!?!? A Motorcycle would have been MUCH cooler!!! ;-)

All in all, ATV Off Road Fury 2 IS a good game. I gave it a 3 out of 5 mainly because like I said, it's just a repackage of Motocross Madness 2 without all of the bells and whistles. If you don't have a PC and you like off road racing, get this game, but if you have a choice, go with Motocross Madness 2 on the PC. It's way better!

ATV Offroad Fury 2 is quite possibly the greatest ATV game to date. It combines all of the elements seamlessly into an ultimate gaming experience. In terms of graphics, this is top shelf, the landscapes, riders, and ATV's are all perfectly rendered in Fury. Gameplay-wise this is great as well. The ATV's control perfectly and allow you to pull off amazing tricks and combos. With national races, enduro-races, super cross and freestyle courses, the game never gets old. There are over 40 "enviroments", many with multiple tracks in each. There are also 20+ ATV's to "unlock" or buy. By racing in single races, or championships you earn profile points that you can use to unlock ATV's, Rider Equipment, new tracks and mini-games. Sound-wise Fury is great, with great music by Korn, system of a down, Saliva and others, coupled with good sound effects, fury definatley shines in this area. ATV Offroad Fury 2 is easy to learn, but challenging to master and is a great gaming experience for all ages. Buy it NOW!!

Mario Golf 64 was a fun game to play, but Mario Golf Toadstool Tour should be better. I played this games as a demo at a local game store. It took me a while to get the hang of the controls, but hey, all games take a while to get used to the controls. I was having trouble with the distance grid and getting a close up on the hole. After a while I got the hang of it, and started getting a birdie on the holes. I rated this game 4 stars because the graphics are amazing, the sound is okay, gameplay is great, and overall it is a fun game. I will definitely buy it when it comes out. Give this game some time, and you will see that this game is fun, and enjoyable. When I saw a movie on the computer about it, it looked really complicated, but it isn't. This game will be a hit!

Although I've never played this Mario Golf game, I know this game will be a winner. The Nintendo 64 game had multiple modes, including tournament, where you play a round of golf against about 30 other players, get character, ring shot, where you hit par on a hole and shoot the golf ball through rings, speed golf (you're timed on a round of golf), stroke, which is like a practice 9 or 18 hole round of golf, mini-golf, and training, where you can practice any hole and change the weather and rehit single strokes. All this was great fun, and the multiplayer options were even better. You could play a match game, where the player with the fewest strokes on a hole gets a point, and you try to get ten points, skins match, where the player who sinks his ball in the fewest strokes wins the hole and gets a skin, and club slots, where you compete in skin match style and a slot machine determines what clubs you can use on each hole.
Camelot, the makers of the game, found that younger players had trouble hitting the ball on the old game, and now you can choose between the old controls, and a new setup.
The N64 Mario Golf game had a total of six marioesque courses (you unlocked the last five) and the new game will have real life courses and new marioesque courses for you to choose from, the latter filled with the familiar pipes, Chain Chomps, and fantasy links that float in the air. I've seen some screenshots, and the new game also has new characters, and there's always a character that works for you. They vary in draws, fades, and power.
I'm going to get this game no matter what, and if it is anything like the old Mario Golf game, it will prove to be a very, very enjoyable experience!

I have never even played golf before in my life, and I don't really like sports or sports games in general. I bought this solely because it's a 1st party Nintendo title and it has Mario in it.

Fortunately, I now love this game! It was a little hard to get used to at first, probably because of my unfamiliarity with the game of golf, but once you learn the controls, it's truly awesome!

I think that this game is really well made. Here are my reasons for liking it. To start this game is very advanced as far as the progrming goes. You get to have interaction with the animals and ride on them. You use them to beat the game. The game has quite a bit of personaility and humor which is quite refreshing. The character design and overall feel for the game is incredible. The movies between the levels are hilarious. One complaint is the camera action but I have found this to be a problem in many platformer games. The game is good for kids of all ages and is non violent. This game is a must buy for parents looking for a game WITHOUT VIOLENCE. Girls will appreciate the level where tak has to dance through a puzzle. Boys will appreciate the sandboarding and snowboarding levels. This game is top notch in personality and character.

Graphics - 9.5
Gameplay- 7
Fun- 8.5

This game is like a ratchet and clank for the young ones. My kids love it! There are animals to ride and vines to swing on. Their aren't any shoot em up moments. Even my 2 yr old walks around saying TAk TAK Tak! My kids love this game and it gives them some challenge for each age group. My kids are 2, 5, 11. My 5 year old is on the chicken island level but has been to the snowboarding and sandboarding levels.

I would recommend this game to anyone with kids who are looking for something more exciting and challenging for their kids than the run of the mill shoot em up platformers. I hope that Nickelodeon does end up making a cartoon out of this game. I like the interaction with the animals as part of solving this game I think it was fun. The graphics and level design on this game are far superior to any I have seen recently. When tak walks the his shadow work and footprints are really cool. The vines are fun and the cartoons between the levels are so funny. I havent seen a game with this kind of sense of humor either! My one complaint would be the camera work needed a little help but it doesn't get in the way of how the game plays.

So far, my wife and I have not had the chance to play the game yet but I think it will challenge my wife greatly and me some. As a dad, I give this game two thumbs up, finally a game without some of the standard shooting hoopla!!!!

This game is really fun. My mom made me wait till last month to get it, till the price came down. I love how funny it is and that you can ride the animals. The jujus are funny and i love the cartoons in between. Overall, this is my second favorite game.
