REVIEW
Very disappointed wtih this game. This game left a lot to be desired. I have skied for 25 years and this board is nothing like skiing. Yet, the skiing games that ship with the Wii board are wonderful and account for every way your body may move. This one only seems to account for side-to-side movement.
This was a real disappointment. Stick with the ski games that come with the Wii Fit. They are a lot of fun. Add a Review

REVIEW
Best of All Fighting Games The best fighting game out of any other fighting game series. Most of the modes and characters from the Soul Calibur series are here. And new modes and characters such as Online and Tower of Souls. The new characters are Algol, Hilde, Angol Fear, Ashlotte,Kamikirimusi, Scheherazade, Shura, Darth Vader, and Vader's Secret Apprentice from the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Character Creation is more detailed. The new armor and weapon only improves the game due to the better graphics. But the only downside is the online. Most matches either fails to connect, lag like crazy, disconnects during a match, or doesn't find a match. But, none of these online problems take away from the game. Other then that this game is perfect and you should buy it right away. Add a Review

Tales of Vesperia Graphics: I found the Cel Shaded Animisc graphics to be well done and very catchie. However I do watch alot of anime myself so look at some videos and pictures to judge if the graphics would suit you.
Story: Awesome story I have loved every previous tales game and this lived up to my expectations. 70 hours logged to beat the game and finish the story.
Content: With Titles and crafting aspect influencing costume pieces to weapons and armor the replay ability is there for at least 2 or 3 play throughs. I am currently on my 3rd and still loving the game. Add a Review

REVIEW
HECK YEAH!!! This game is a solid sequel to the series. I love how they have a new costume and an old school one for each character. The create a character system was a little weak this time around, but they made up for it by adding a tweaking system to the already made characters. Other than that I found this an awesome fighting game just like the rest of the series. Add a Review
Great Game Great Game. Love all the characters in games. Good dubbing on the voices and the battle style. Long Game and worth playing every minute of it. The Animation movies in this games are great and would love to replay it again. Add a Review

REVIEW
Don't just sit there, get up and cheer! This is a game for kids who dream of being a cheerleader or for "old kids" who didn't make the final cut for cheerleader and never got over it. It's one to add to the "Get up off the couch and move" list of Wii games and it's a way to get some very good exercise while having some fun.
I just got this today and have been playing with it for the last couple of hours. That's as long as I could play because by arms and shoulders are ready to fall off! This game really gives your arms a great workout and once I get better at it and can follow along with the foot movements it should be an all around great exercise game. (Walking and chewing gum at the same time can be challenging) There is also a "Work out" section that's has a choice of quick or extended exercise routines which involves a lot of footwork as well as the arms. That, BTW is a good way to practice getting the cheer moves down.
There's a Campaign Mode where you can compete with another person for team captain or Party Mode where you can play with up to 4 people and have your own squad. I probably won't be playing in those modes since most of my friends would think this 50-something woman had totally lost it if I asked them to come join my Wii cheerleading squad. (Why didn't they name the game "Wii Cheer"?
I like the music and the cheerleader characters are all bubbly and enthusiastic (perky?) which is good motivation to get moving. They're also chatty with recommendations and small talk, which you canhit the A&B buttons to skip if it gets old after a while.
I barely made it past failing after a couple of hours and that was on the easy songs. It's fun even when you don't hit every beat. I did improve by doing the routines over and over. I've found that watching the cheerleaders is the best way to stay on the beat. A good sense of rhythm helps. It seems to have enough different songs to keep it interesting and challenging.
I'm glad I bought it. It's big, big fun and anything that keeps me exercising for over 2 hours is a good thing. Add a Review

REVIEW
Amazingly Great... Considering If you liked it on the playstation, ps2 and ps3 you'll love it on the PSP too. By far the best fighting game the PSP has to offer. Tons of players... all the moves/combos & all the bonus game modes.
PLug it into the TV and you'd swear you were playing it on a full size console. Add a Review
Namco Museum DS brings the classic favorites of a previous generation to be enjoyed by a whole new crowd. In this virtual arcade one can choose from up to eight games: Pac-Man, Pac-Man VS, Galaga, Xevious, Dig Dug II, Galaxian, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga. However, this new iteration of the old favorites comes with a passel of features unique to the DS, such as wireless battles in Pac-Man VS, an addictive take on Pac-Man which was previously only available exclusively with the purchase or pre-order of previous games and downloadable play where up to four players can battle using only one Game Card., Whether these games give you a fun flashback or an engaging new experience, Namco Museum DS delivers excitement to gamers of all ages and offers entertainment all can enjoy. ESRB Rated E for Everyone.
REVIEW
Pac Man Vs... and then some neat bonuses... I picked this up on the strength of Pac-Man Vs. last week, and was more surprised by the additional content than anything else. It's a simple collection, Pacman, Mappy, Galaga, etc. but the options are nearly endless.
In all of the old 'coin op' games, you can change up many many options; continues, number of lives, speed, difficulty, etc. You can even play with the dip switches as you would to adjust settings on a real arcade cabinet. I was shocked by the sheer number of choices available to the gamer, within each individual title.
For $15, this game is worth it for Pac Man Vs. alone. For the uninitiated, its a multiplayer PacMan, where one player plays regular old PacMan, but all of your friends play the part of the ghosts. The ghosts are given a very limited view, and the game plays like normal, Power pellets will kill ghosts, but its the basis for an excellent game of cat-and-mouse.
I would recommend this title to children or adult fans of the original titles. Due to the wide variety of difficulty and gameplay options, the player can choose just how challenging they wish the game to be.
My only real knock is that the selection is a bit limited. I would have appreciated a few more titles, or a few less duplicates. But again, for the price, you can't go wrong. Add a Review
