Game Reviews

We recently purchased this toy for our 18 month-old son, so he could romp around during our colder-than-usual winter. He absolutely loves it! As another reveiwer mentioned, he does throw the balls everywhere, but that's what little boys do. He has a great time and enjoys the confines of his little "house" as he puts it. As this toy is soft-sided, there's nothing for him to hurt himself on, so he can just roll around and do as he pleases. The best part is that he uses up so much energy in there, he now ASKS to go to bed at bedtime (a bonus we hadn't expected!) This will never be a substitute for outdoor play, but this is a really fun toy for little ones!

My son (2 years old) received this from his grandmother and LOVES this product. Being a typical 2 year old, he does tend to kick out the 70 (or so) balls and then procede to kick them around the house, but he tires himself by doing it. Or, he rolls himself (or I do) over the balls inside (which is great for added sensory input).

This isn't an educational toy for one so young, although there is tic-tac-toe, bowling, ring toss, and a stop-go game for older children. We do use the ring toss rings to learn body parts (put the ring on your head, leg, arms.. etc.) and he thinks it's fun at the same time.

I don't know if I would have bought this product for him because of the size (it is the same size as the children tents). Also, if your child is like mine (bouncing off the walls) he/she will literally do that in this. It is VERY easy to tip over (and the balls fly) so I keep it away from sharp corners and such.

J.Spangler was right! Gran Turismo stinks up the place in comparison to F1/CE.

Yes, yes, I've played and fully enjoyed the original Gran Turismo, and it's over-rated sequel. I love the "feel" of driving the vehicles in the Gran Turismo series, but let's face it; as a Racing Simulator, it is far from realistic. A maximum of six cars per race. Competitors that typically follow nose to tail whose performance rises or falls to yours.Formula One Championship Edition in Grand Prix / Expert mode offers no quarter. You must 'learn' how to drive the most advanced cars on the planet. Once you accomplish that you can begin 'trying' to race. If the damage option is on, you'll be replacing plenty of nose wings, and the repair budgets of your competitors are bound to exponentially increase until you learn how and when to brake and overtake. The rewards for learning these skills are perhaps that of experiencing the most accurate race car driving experience on a console game platform. I encourage anyone with the mettle and desire to race automobiles who lack the infinite bank accounts needed to attempt the real thing to place Formula One Championship Edition in your Playstation. It's the next best thing.

It's like the original arcade classic but it has updated graphics. The original arcade classic is great (I wish I had an actual Frogger arcade game [either upright or cocktail] in my basement), and the same great gameplay appears on the SNES with this update!

Great game, and a great break from the standard violence/martial arts video games.

After purchasing this one for the children, I was amazed at all of the new levels that they have added. Really a good game to keep the kids busy, and none of the violence.

These two games are alot of fun to play! Seeing that little frog hopping across road and all. They are great games for all ages! My 9 yr old son loves to play them! Funny! Highly recommended A++

This kit really makes me wish I would have waited to get my SP... The classic NES design on the SP is outstanding and the games that come included are some of the best games that I have ever played... Overall this is a great package :)

I think the game boy Advance sp-platinum is a great progranmed for all to play. my two boys love playing all the game on there have. Iam think about geting the game boy advavce sp flame.

Everyone whose anyone whose got the SP should get it!!
I'm BIG on music so I gotta have it my way(Like I do in B.K.)
an' get an earphone/headphone adapter.
P.S. - If you're gonna use this, then at least get a game with a decent soundtrack such as A Link To The Past(which I also got offa Amazon.com)
This website is great... right?!

This headphone set is great
When i got the GBASP I was disappointed because
there was no headphone adapter
but I knew that there must be one for the GBASP
somewhere in the world
THERE IS!!! THIS ONE!!!!!!
It's great.... I totally recommend it
for the gamer brother with a million annoying
brothers and sisters playing music and being too
loud on purpose around you
I hope you like it!!!!!!!!!!
See You around!!!!!!!

I'll be a case study on why you need to buy a magnifier for your GBA, or your childs.

The original Game Boy came out when I was 10 years old. Being of that age, I had to have my parents immediately buy one. There were no magnifiers until later on in the Game Boys history. When I received the Game Boy my vision was 20/20. Years down the road, now I have really bad vision, and have to wear contacts or glasses to be able to see clearly 5 feet away. My eye doctor told me it was probably because of the Game Boy.

Because of this, I have always recommended a magnifier to any prospective GBA buyer as I work in video games. I extend to you the same recommendation, as saving your sight is vital.

This is easy to use, and has a cool fold down feature. It also stays attached to your SP so you don't have to attach it every time you want to use it. It is great for those games that don't have the best graphics, but my son likes to use it with every game he plays.

Despite a shipping error, the vendor quickly responded to an email and immediately shipped the correct item. Additionally, they did not even require that I return the original item shipped. All is very well.

This is one of the most inovative products I've ever played with!... well, not the cord itself, but the link capibility between your gamecube and gameboy advanced! Played Metroid Prime or Fusion? Maybe you have, but you havn't experienced it all until you've linked your GBA to your Gamecube! You can unlock the original Metroid! Played Animal Crossing? Not until you've designed your own cloths through your Gameboy, or played the fun little mini games! These are just a few games that take advantage of the link cable. Other games like Zelda, the Wind Waker, and the future Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicals. This link cable makes good games GREAT.

This is Awesome!!! now you can watch cartoons on your GBAsp And GBA. If your traveling and you want to watch tv, use your gba.When i bought this thing i loved it right away. I use it a lot. some people bought that video now thing and it sucks. I mean it shows in black and white!! How STUPID!!!!! If you like spongebob,fairly oddparents and all the other cartoons i suggest you buy this for your kids they'll enjoy it. this thing helps if your traveling. buy it for your kids and they'll be happy.

I just got this gameboy video, and I am VERY happy! Whenever I want to watch my favorite episode, I turn on my game boy! The picture is okay, but the color is not filled in that well(it helps to watch froma little distance). I'd give picture 8/10. Sound is also okay, but not sterio sounding. i give it a 7/10. Who needs old black and white videonow! Just one teeny tiny mistake in the manual (probably because i got the one of the first shipment of gbavideos) It says press A to make it darker and b to make it brighter...it's the other way around! Overall, i give it a 9.5/10!

This is great. I almost always take my Gamecube somewhere every week whether it be a friends house, a special event etc. Since I have collected quite a lot of games, eight to be exact, makes it difficult to carry 8 Gamecube cases on a trip. The case makes easier to carry a large amount of games and is not like any other. It's better than the Nintendo cases because they only carry about 8 games and one CD. The case is able to carry 40 games total, and carries them safely, unlike hard cases that will scratch them even though its being used to do just the opposite. I find it completely convenient as well as useful.

This is probably your most important item to buy for your Gamecube. It safely holds 40 Gamecube discs. The holder for the discs is similar to a DVD case. This means you aren't sliding your discs into a spot and risking scratching them, but they are placed in a holder that will keep them in. If you care about your discs, this is the best (and the cheapest) game holder you can invest in. You won't regret it.
