This is the best game ever! It's better than Time Force - it's got really good graphics and character voices. I would like to buy this or get it for my birthday!

My son thinks this game is very awesome because "getting the Titanium Ranger is very awesome. It is a little bit hard to get the Titanium Ranger. When I rented it, I played it all day and wished I didn't have to return it. Then I asked my Dad to buy it but the stores either didn't have it or they were sold out. I looked for it everywhere and I put it on my Christmas list. I didn't get it but when I found out about Toysrus.com I saw it. I think I'll just have to wait until they get some more!"

i love this game.and i bet u will like it too.do u want to have this game.i have it for u.

Ever since 1986, Hudson Soft's Bomberman games have been appearing on home video gaming consoles. The fast and frantic action has drawn in many gamers - and with good reason. In late 1998, to accompany the release of Nintendo's new Game Boy Color, the company released a new game in the series, which tried something entirely new - making Bomberman a side-scrolling puzzl-action game! How did this work out? Read on and see.

PROS:
-The number of platformers for ALL systems has been dropping greatly in recent years due to all the hype for three-dimensional games, so it's good to see a new Bomberman game.
-You can save your progress with a password.
-The game looks and plays like a side-scroller should, for the most part.

CONS:
-The time limit is bound to get on your nerves.
-How exactly do those bombs stay suspended in midair?
-Boss characters are UNREALISTICALLY DIFFICULT.
-The Jump Mode is just plain stupid.
-No multiplayer mode.
-Though a good idea, the game ultimately falls flat.

OVERALL:
This is a good game if you can't get enough of Bomberman or side-scrolling puzzle-action games. Just don't buy this expecting anything revolutionary - you won't get anything of that sort.

Bomberman pocket is a game where you,bomberman,go around blowing up bad guys and other things.But i warn you the bomberman grapics are tiny,but still it is a killer game. BUY IT NOW!

This game is great! there are so many cool levels, but be aweare, that the "masters" of each level are extreamly hard to beat! But once you have beat them... You will have a blast playing! The rest of the game is somewhat easy, but nice and quick (however, entertaining if you want to play for hours!) hehehe, to sum it up, it's a great game! BUY IT!

An excellent project for your child's school report. We purchased the Velociraptor kit for our 8 year old daughter not knowing what to expect. After opening the package my wife came up with a clever idea of pouring melted chocolate chips it into the dinosaur molds, instead of using the plaster mix. We experimented with white chocolate chips and created realistic looking dinosaur bones! We buried these edible bones in ground up Oreo Cookies. What a thrill to see our daughter's 2nd grade class excavate these delectible prehistoric fossils!

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY EIGHT YEAR OLD FOR CHRISTMAS WITH A BUNCH OF THE "WHATS POPULAR NOW" TOYS. THIS BY FAR IS THE TOY THAT HAS KEPT HIS ATTENTION FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. MORE LIKE NEARLY 2 HOURS THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT OUT. IT ALSO KEPT MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THE EVERY ADVENTEROUS 4 YEAR OLD BUSY. I HAD TO KEEP DAD FROM DIGGING AND DUSTING OR ELSE THE KIDS WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN A TURN. AFTER FINDING THREE BONES - I TOLD THEM IT WAS TIME TO PUT IT AWAY AND SAVE IT FOR ANOTHER DAY. MY HUSBAND WOULDN'T QUIT FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES UNTIL THEY HAD FOUND AND UNEARTHED ONE MORE BONE. THEY HAVE MANY HOURS OF FUN LEFT WHICH IN RETURN WILL GIVE THEM AN ADDED BONUS--NOT ONLY ARE THEY HAVING FUN; BUT ARE LEARNING AT THE SAME TIME!! ONE CONSIDERATION IS THAT IT DOES SAY FOR AGES 8 AND ABOVE, BUT MY 4 YEAR OLD HAD HIS SUN GLASSES ON AND MANAGED QUITE WELL. HIS ONLY PROBLEM WAS GETTING DAD OUT OF THE WAY!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

My son (now almost 6) has been a dinosaur fanantic since the age of 2. He knows the names, where they lived, what they ate...you name it, he knows it! Or so we thought, until he got this for Christmas! After having a great time making and painting the "fossil" he read in the manual that each bone has it's own name--so now we're learning those as well! The only problem we have with it is when the smaller pieces get dropped on a hard surface they tend to break pretty easily. They are, however, also fixed easily with a dab of super glue.

When I first played this game, I thought I'd hate it. Actually, I liked it. Graphics are decent for a 2D game, but let me tell you this. If you don't like side-scrolling games, annoying repeating phrases, having to read constant text and don't like fantasy games, don't get this game. The language is mild but they have some stuff reffering to other stuff, you know what I mean? Anyway, this game isn't for little kids because you really gotta use your head and think fast or else it might be too late! This is like an arcade-ish game. Rent it first or borrow it. You might like it.

First of all, never listen to gamespot; they .... But now, on to the review... SM wasn't very difficult for me to get the hang of, though the actually levels are full of challenge, and so are the bosses, which are, dare I argue, the best bosses ever to grace video gaming, especially the now infamous Dynamis; The Fish With Multiple Clawed Tentacles And The Head Of A Pinkhaired Doll Who Babbles About How You Should Buy Her Flowers, Pretty Flowers. Each boss if different, with there own moves and attack patterns, each colorful and with its own personality, which is abig feat, considering how on any given path there are about 19 of them, scattered throughout only 6-7 different levels. The voice samples didn't bother me; they won't do so either if you have a strong tolerence or complete unawarness of them. The music, however, is pretty good, though it can go from a nice backround beat to a muted and unmemorable spastic violin boss music piece. You already know what the gameplay is like; I'm too lazy to type what others already have, but, let me tell you, those mechanics make for a good time, not some tedious and confusing trudge. Graphics are just fine. It's nice to see 2-d of this quality around, not to mention some interesting transparency effects employed. Also, I do not think that this game on a whole is overly hard, except for that I can only find 2 of the 5 path, bothof those the 2 most obvious ones, but hey, don't think I don't know my games when I review them even if I'm not exactly in expert in actually playing them. Anyway, if you enjoy 2D blast-intensive shooters, get this game.

I am an infamous fan of weird, bizarre games. Knowing this, I picked up SM and played it. Whoo, was I in for an overload. You are the Messenger of Justice, a small meter-tall bi-colored robot in the shape of a young girl who needs to travel to the Edo system to repair it. Y'see, it turns out that Edo has malfunctioned big time, and mutated all of the inhabitants of this earth into either Silhouettes or Mirages. Luckily, Shyna is a bit of both, so she can zap both enemies. Of course, before you do the aforementioned zapping, you can also drain their Spirit (energy for using attacks) and use the Cash Bash, which is where Shyna picks up the enemy if possible and beats the cash out of them...WITH HER HAIR! Tell me that isn't cool.

The enemies are also incredibly strange--take for example, a giant butterfly woman with a vaccuum cleaner attached to her rear(Serah), a gender-switching nemesis with a sword/gun (Zohar), and the two rulers of the S and Ms (Hal and Megido). They both have incredibly long noses, but other than that are the opposites of each other; while Hal is brilliant and leans toward making his Guardian Angels (robotic bodyguards) to conquer his foes, Megido is incredibly violent and powerful and shows up more than a few times during the game.

Overall, this is an excellent game. If you find it anywhere, buy it on the spot. You won't regret it, believe you me. Everything from Nazo2unit's wonderful techno/rock/classical music to the old-school 2D graphics to the story, translation and gameplay is perfect. As Shyna would say, "Call me crazy, but as a general rule I don't purchase flora from giant homocidal flying fish!"

Crawl,punch,and swing your way to the top in the newest superhero
rumble Spiderman2: The Sinister Six for GBC. As Spidey, you are called upon to save a kidnapped auntie M (aunt May for those of you who aren't familiar) from the many-tentacled clucthes of Doc Ock. All of Spidey's powers are yours to use, including the ability to cling to walls, super strength, speed, and web-slinging and more. Spiderman 2 contains game play similar to its PS1 cousin, with suberb graphics and sound rounding out and impressive title.

I really loved the other spider-man games and I bet this one is just as good!!!

this is without a doubt on of the best spider-man games i have played. for some odd reason it only saw limited release in the us. not all stores i checked had it. infact of the 6 states i checked (michigan,new york,calafornia,florida,maine,and ohio) no state had this game in a full supply. i was suprised to see it here for sale. even major game softwere sites don't offer it. some i e-mailed said it never existed. the gameplay is great, but only if you like classic side scroller's. the sound is ok, and the graphics aren't as eye straining as i thought they would be. it is the the second best spider-man title ever made for any game boy system. over shaddowed only by mysterio's menace for GBA. and sence gameboy advance (gba) is not as common to peoiple as game boy color i highkly recomend this game. this title unlike the first installment of the activision spider-man series is exclusive to the gbc (game boy color) and is one of the best titles made for the system. sence it is somewhat rare i would pick up a copy here at amazon.com while they last. and no they didn't pay me to say that. :) seeya lated.

This is quite a nice game to play with one or more friends...
Its really humoristic and quite exciting to play if you and your friend are equally skilled. And its easy to learn: in about an hour you can learn the basics.
But worms 1 was far better... I gave away my worms 2 cd to a friend, but no-one touches worms 1 !

I like this game because it's funny yet challenging. For those who like a god laugh, a lot of action and hardcore army fighting this is your game.

This is a game that you can play over and over again without getting sick of it! You can play against the computer, against a friend over the internet, or be in the hotseat! You can also choose the map you want to play on. And you can choose the style of the map. Like hell, melted clock, and a few others. The graphics are good, and the sound is great. You play as worms, and can use different weapons to kill the enemy worms. Like a bazooka, dynamite, an explosive lamb, a kamakazi, and more! It also has some humor in it. For example, in the game, the worms say different things at different times. So you can choose your worms accent! Like Australian, Scottish, and more! The original accent is a voice that sounds like someone who just inhaled helium! It's pretty funny. So if you like humor, and war games, then this cartoon game is right for you. In other words, I highly recommend this game!

I think this book is very good for learning the skills of third grade. The only thing is that I wish it came with a case to hold the cartridge, book and pen in one place like my sister's Smart guide to 1st grade came with.

I'm a little disappointed about the Smart Guide to Third Grade, not because it's not good, but because it doesn't offer much more than the sample book that came with the Quantum Pad. I'm sure that someone who has the LeapPad will get more use out of it, but if I had known that the only major bonuses are in the math section, I would have purchased the Third Grade Math Book instead.

I give this Leap Pad book 3 stars for fun because my children were not interested enough to even look at all the pages.They played with it a lot, but did not get even half way through, maybe that just means it is full of fun stuff to do, but since my kids have not gone back to it, I feel it does not hold their interest quite enough. Educational, 4 stars because some of it seemed a bit simple, like the space page. 5 stars for durability because it is no more and no less durable then regular Leap Pad books. Dont like the eraseable pen though. Must cover it each and every time, even between questions. If it's off more then 5 seconds, it dries out.I peronally did not find it very easy to keep picking up and putting down pens. I tried using a pen in each hand, and it dried out, so I had to keep putting down the regular "pen" to cover up the eraseable pen. Pretty annoying.

I have a ton of Star Trek games but, this is one of the neatests.
You get to go on any of five Star Trek Bridges and push buttons and shoot probes and phasers. The best part is you get to pick up props like phasers and hyprosprase. You even get to open a tricorder. The games mostly free-roaming, actualy it is all free roaming. It's live action to exept for the original enterprise which is cheap 3-D. The only bad part is that you can get bored after your first three days of playing. It's not like you sit there for a month and try to beat it. It is a game to come back to and play every once and a while though. COOLEST STAR TREK GAME EVER.

P.S. I hear people buy this game and get disapointed because they can't free roam the whole ship. I do have another game called STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION INTERACTIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL that let's you free-roam every main room on the enterprise-D only. Including Enginering, Ten Foraward, Transportation (like beaming) and even the captains quarters. Check this game out to!

I don't know why this one never caught on. It has all the graphics and sounds of all the popular ships. Enterprise the original, the E and the D, the Defiant from DS9 and Voyager. It covers just about everything except the engine rooms which could be done with an updated version. It's literally has just about each sound and graphic from each bridge. It's something I found by accident at a local gaming store. I always thought there was no way they could make a decent package. Seeing the copyright is 97' it's not the most sharpest picture, however the computer graphics from each ship work station make up for it.

Visit five different starship bridges and you get to press the buttons to launch shuttles, fire weapons, go to warp, land the voyager, and more. Plus examine all the bridge stations and the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) screens, plus many hand held items on seats and tables. Examine the exterior of the ships. Plus play three different games on the original Enterprise bridge. Uncover the secret code to unlock a sixth bridge of a klingon ship! (Hints at maxiumdefiant.com) A great addition to any Star Trek Fan's collection.

i like the story and plot and the cutscenes but the only hard part about it is that it won't let you cheat and go on the next level like in tie fighter and there's not really all that much you can do besides shoot things with lasers when you should be converting it to engines and using misiles or torpedoes that's all i have to say

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (actually, it's ours), I was playing a lot of old Super Nintendo games on my PC with emulators. Then I thought, hey, I have a 600mhz with 256 ram, and lots of hard drive space, so why don't I try one of these new-fangled hi-tech 3D PC games? Well, this is actually quite an old game but if you have anything close to my PC's specs, and you are anything close to a fan of Star Wars, this is truly a fantastic ride. I recommend one has a gamepad or joystick (...). My gamepad works great (it is similar to the old Playstation One controller). I plug in my headphones (also recommended), pump up the volume, and off I go into space, flying around in the infinite void, shooting tie fighters, star cruisers of the evil empire, and generally having a ton of fun.

This version of the game also has a whole additional game on it also, and with a 3D video card (even the most basic), the graphics are amazing. Dated, but hey, this puts the graphics of the old SNES to shame. It is VERY easy to set up and get started, and can be as tough as you want it. I've hardly even scratched the surface of all the various features and levels and know I have a lot of future fun in store for me with this. The music, while in midi form, is (to me) almost indistinguishable from MP3 quality stuff. And you get a lot of music. All sorts of variations on John William's great Star Wars scores.

There are also a ton of options. You can turn the music up or down, or off. You can turn the sound effects (also great) up or down or off. You can play your OWN music (MP3's) if you want while playing the game. Try some electronica/trance, or some Pink Floyd! Get creative, have fun. You can give yourself unlimited weapons and make yourself and your ship invulnerable to damage. The possibilites truly are endless. This is halfway between an arcade type shooter and a true space combat simulator, with various levels of both. In a short time, I have played the game for dozens of hours already, and am still discovering new things, and cool features. There is a neat pilot training feature, a "film" room, talking characters and background voices, it goes on and on. I can't believe I waited so long to buy/play this, but then, I am but a young, struggling Jedi-starfighter who has been deserted on a lonely planet for awhile.

If you have ever wanted to fly off into space in a variety of ships and enjoy the trip without leaving your PC, and if you are at all even the most casual Star Wars fan, you just gotta buy this, and now! You don't know what you're missing if you've never played. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em, and/or have a drink to warm your innards, turn down the lights, get that gamepad or joystick in hand, put on the headphones, and escape into the ride of your life. .. Amazing! And I haven't touched any of my old SNES rom games since buying this. Best [$$] you'll ever invest in a whole universe of fun, which you can visit any time you want to escape from earthbound reality for awhile. Did I mention that although it's a jewel case, there's a HUGE free instructional manual? What are you waiting for?

I know more recent and better graphically-enhanced Star Wars games are out there, and I've sampled them, but the system requirements on this make it playable for almost ANYONE with a PC, and for now, I'd like you to stop reading this, and go click this classic gem (and still unequaled in many ways) into your shopping cart NOW! You will thank me later, and as always, "May the Force be with you..."

This is is the best game you can buy from Lucas Arts. Period.

Descent was one of the most innovative games of its time. To this day, there has been nothing else quite like it. The general gameplay of Descent meshes an interior engine like Doom with a space combat simulator control scheme. The end result is a game where you can fly anywhere, even upside-down, through the levels.

You are Material Defender 1032, a mercenary hired by the Post-Terran Mining Corporation to douse a robotic rebellion in their intergalactic mines. It seems that a mysterious alien virus has overtaken control of the robots and is coercing them to attack Earth. Thus, you are sent to purge the PTMC mines by destroying their fusion Reactors.

The objectives of each level are fairly simple. Find the appropriate colored keys to open the proper doors in order to find the Reactor. Upon finding the Reactor, you can destroy it setting off a countdown sequence during which you must race to the exit as fast as possible. It is a compelling formula that never grows old.

The Playstation version of Descent is a worthy port of its PC counterpart. It offers new features including:

- An awesome new Redbook soundtrack. Some of the tunes come from the PC version of Descent 2, but most are actually remixes of the MIDI music found in the original PC Descent game.

- New movies. The game is marked by several CG-animated movies, including lengthy renderings of the introduction sequence and the ending sequence in full-motion.

- Colored lighting. During countdown sequences, the entire mine turns red and the lights pulsate. Weapons also have a colorful hue about them when they hit walls or other objects.

Still, the Playstation version is inferior in some respects. The most obvious is the framerate. It can be rather choppy at times and I would guesstimate it hovers around 15-20 fps. Moreover, it would have been cool if the multiplayer modes were split-screen instead of requiring two televisions, two Playstations, and two copies of Descent.

Needless to say, though, if you've never played Descent here's a good place to start. One of the more remarkable aspects of this port is how well the PSX controller was used. Anyone who has played Descent on the PC knows there are a ton of controls. Yet, somehow, Parallax simplified it all to fit on a PSX controller in a very intuitive, natural fashion.

Because the editorial review does not explain much i thought I should put in some more information. Here is the story line as i uderstand it. Descent is set in the future. By now mankind has become very advanced, especially in space travel. Colonies have been set up through out the solar system. Very important minerals have ben found on many of the planets and moons, mines were set up on these planets(and moons). But an unknown race of aliens has sent in some sort of computer virus to cuase the androids in the mines to mauthfunction and turn against humanity. You are a soldier working for p.t.m.c. and you have been assinged to stop the invasion. Each mine has a main reactor wich p.t.m.c. would normally be able to self destruct from space stations, but all radio connection has been lost, and evan if they could, there could still be human survivers in the mines. Now you have to go in and destroy the reactor yourself. Your mission is to enter the mines in a small battle spaceship, save any survivors, destroy as many robots as possible and than get to the main reactor and destroy it. Once the reactor has been destroyed you have 50 seconds to get to the emergency exit and escape. you win when you defeat all the levels, however when you win p.t.m.c. won't let you return because they fear that your ship has been infested with something(i don't understand what). You are armed with 10 weapons, the simple laser, or the plasma cannon witch shoots balls of super shocked slime or the muchine gun like vulcan cannon, the atomic mega missle or the homing missle wich seeks enamys out and blast them(or when it is fired by enamys, seeks you out and could probably follow you through the whole level). And you are up against more than 20 different enamy robots as you attempt to defeat 27 levels PLUS 3 or 4 secret levels. It also has great music(i like level 4's music the best). Graphics are great( I wish i could play it with some kind of virtual Reality mask). If you are thinking of getting descent, Trust me, the money is worth it.

With all of the Descent games out there, its seems like this one was kind of left in the dust. But in my opinion its probably the best and my favorite of them all. While Descent II expanded more with new features and Descent 3 totally changed the whole mission, this game is probably the most original of the three. So maybe its considered too basic, but that's acutally what I like about it. It has the coolest robots, the coolest levels, and the best soundtrack I've heard ever! I get immersed in this game and the gameplay does it. Granted the graphics are really pixelly, but who cares? The music and the levels keep me playing. While Descent II divided the levels up into different solar systems and kept recycling the music over and over again, not Descent. With 21 different musical compositions and 30 partially unique levels, this ones gives more variety. Also the surprises at the end of levels 7 and 27 were nice. In closing, this game is great. I grit my teeth and prepare to obliterate hoards of nasty mechanical nighmares every time. Get it if you can, they should re-release it. DESCENT RULES!!
