Be very careful if you order this package. It is very deceiving. I did not read the product description entirely and realized AFTER I received the package that there aren't any controllers in this bundle. When you look at the picture, it LOOKS like you get another controller and another nunchuck, but you don't. All you get are covers. I am very disappointed, but I really have no-one to blame but myself.
Buyer Beware!

The Wii Fit is an awesome product, and the Wii Fit 6 in 1 starter kit is a great addition to the Wii Fit game! The only thing I'd like to see in the Wii Fit Starter Kit is the wrist and ankle weights, which I also found on Overstock.com for a great price anyhow, so I'm very satisfied!

I got the Nyko Frontman for the same reason you're looking at it, most likely - it's cheaper than the official RedOctane guitars. I'm usually wary of third party controllers, as they're usually lacking in quality, but I took a chance with this one and I'm glad I did. It works just as well as the official guitars, though it feels a bit different, as the buttons are more rounded. That's not a bad thing, either. I've found that some people actually prefer it.
One downside I can think of might not even apply to most people, but in my case, I travel with my guitars a lot. With the official guitar, you can remove the neck and break them into two pieces, but you can't do that with this one. I usually carry them around in a duffel bag, so since I can't break this one apart, the only way to get it to fit is to have the neck sticking out of the bag. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me, though. You also can't use the colorful faceplates that RedOctane makes, as their shape is completely different. It

Like most people, I thought the commercial looked like people were having fun and enjoying themselves. Well, remember, you are watching paid actors!
Unfortunately, this game is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. The fact that you can imitate over 60 instruments is no big deal at all. You can accomplish the exact same results copying the actions of any musician you may watch in a video or on TV. There is no "real" significant connection of your movements to the Wii Music game. It is beyond simple, so much that anyone over the age of 5yrs would be bored to tears in less than 5 minutes. The majority of the game, if you can even call it that, you are acting like you're playing the instrument you pick at whatever tempo you like. There are no points, no significant objectives or anything.
The actual games are much more simple than what you would find playing the mini games of Wii Play. Making your own music videos with the cartoon characters... BIG DEAL! Conducting the orchestra.. WHOOPEE..

I was skeptical of this game at first, but had heard all of the acclaim around the original game that was released for Sega Saturn many years ago. I wanted to be convinced, though, and after reading about the game in Nintendo Power magazine, I was intrigued.
I bought the game, and the first thing I noticed when starting the game was the great graphics and the music that belongs on a soundtrack album.
Then I started to run around the games' gateway of dreams, getting a handle on the controls, which were incredibly simple to master. I then took to the skies for flight training. They give you the option of either leading with the Wii Remote, by pointing at the screen, or using the Nunchuck's control stick. The control stick is the only way to fly.
Flight in this game is incredible and exhilirating. It's not completely free, as the game lets you move on a 2D plane, kind of like being on tracks. That is a blessing, however, as going through the levels would be pretty difficult if you

I am a nearly-senior American (I'll leave the interpretation to you) who enjoys a challenging video game but hasn't the patience or the coordination to use either Playstations or X-boxes; naturally I was attracted to the Wii. I have played any number of Wii games, many of which I find more tedious than fun.
Madden 09 is both fun and challenging and a marked improvement over Madden 07. The All-Play feature permits geezers like me to play a sensible game of football without having to spend considerable time learning a bunch of complicated controller combinations. Once a few All-Play football games are under your belt, I found it quite natural to actually WANT to learn some of the more advanced controller moves.
Others have done an excellent job of extolling the virtues of Madden 09. I will simply emphasize the well thought-out structure of the game, which permits enjoying it from a completely-green novice through to a demanding gamer.
It is rare for a video game to be this well

After playing it for awhile overall I can say Sonic Unleashed is probably one of best Sonic games on 3d to come out in awhile. What the game does right is bring the speedy stages we all love and make it fast and simple bringing that same feel you got from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and also not having camera problems like Sonic and Secret Rings.
However there is also Werehog stage like most said there are quite few however it isn't bad as one would think and as you progress through game the stage gets better, but the gameplay does take awhile usually a player will take 6-8 minutes just trying to finish it, that being said the ranking system on it isn't about speed so its easy to get good ranks on it and not have be about speed, rather it trys to get you pull off most points and rings you can under 9 minutes. The ranking on other hand for speed stages are all about how many rings and making it to end of stage at that time limit. Asides from gameplay the soundtrack is pretty good as well some

I have never played any other version of Cooking Mama, so I can't say how it compares with previous titles. I have 9 year old twin boys, one of whom has spent many hours with the neighborhood girls creating recipes in WebKinz. They have had so much fun with that, that Cooking Mama World Kitchen (CMWK) seemed like an obvious choice for us.
A little about the game: There are three game scenarios, the first of which is "Cook with Mama" in which Mama is the cooking instructor and you are the cook-in-training. It starts with eight recipes which Mama oversees as you cook. The steps in the recipes are well defined and visually represented, with about five to ten steps per recipe, at least in the beginning. You always know where you are in the recipe and Mama gives you feedback on each step. When you have completed the recipe, you get a final overall score which results in one of four medals - bronze, silver, gold or lead. If you get a lead medal, expect to hang your head in shame and Mama will

My wife and I thought this would be a fun addition to our other lightgun holders but wow! were we wrong! The one plus of this is that it's built like a tank, a heavy solid plastic tank. After that it pretty much dissapoints in every way. It's a pain to setup the nunchuck in the handle the way they have it configured. If you don't set up the cord just right the Z and C buttons won't work. It uses a plunger to push them. We've primarily tested it with Ghost Squad where you NEED the action button to work. So after fussing with the cord eventually got it all set. I'd hate to have to do this very often because it's a pain to do.
Ok next thing is the plastic barrel on the end of the shotgun seems to block the sensor on the Wiimote a bit so accuracy is way off and we are using a NYKO bar with fresh batteries. Ok so ditch the long barrel and now it's a sawed off with a stock. That's ok, but the Z button is way too close to the trigger. So it's tough to use, it should be up near the front of the

I bought this for my daughter and she loves singing High School Musical, Hannah Montana, and Camp Rock. So this was perfect for her. I was really impressed with how Disney put this product together. Normally on Karaoke, you get some fake singer and a generic picture of 2 couples riding a horse on a beach. Not this one. You not only get the actual song, but you also get clips directly from the movie or a clip from the actual concert. The video also looks great on screen. They are DVD quality.Also fun was the duet mode, but you need 2 mics for it.
Now the bad part. They do have a section for trying to teach you how to sing, but it is not done very well. It would have been good if you could pick a song and have them go over it slowly. You do not have control as to what key the song is played in or much control over the mic settings.
However, even though the songs are fast and pretty difficult to sing, my daughter had a blast singing to them.

The idea behind these is cool. But, the problem is, Thrustmaster didn't think this through. The sensor on the Wii remote is covered when you add the light sabers to it. So, the lightsaber lights up, but that's it. Your characters lightsaber will NOT move! The light is blocked, you'll have to take the lightsaber off to make it work! Do not buy this product for any game that requires the Wii remotes sensor light (which is basically all of them, right?).

I used to have Animal Crossing on the Gamecube and loved playing it, so I was very excited to hear about a new AC coming out on the Wii.
My husband could only laugh at me as my friend and I rushed out to the store to get it on its release date--and it did not disappoint. I appreciated the fact that they kept it consistent with the old game, I was able to jump right in without having to figure a lot of stuff out. The things that I loved before were still there, with some fun new features.
I love being able to send mail to my friend's village with packages and presents. Its also great to actually be able to visit each others towns while we are online together. We're saving a lot of cell phone minutes in talking to each other over the Wii speak as well. Plus, I'm able to talk to her son as well (he is 3 and gets a big kick out of hearing my voice through the TV).
There is humor for adults (once of my animals told me, after I had been stung by a bee, that I had "bitter bee face").

I honestly think I played this game for 9 hours on Saturday. So much fun. Had some friends playing with me and we just took turns trying to complete the challenges. I woke up the next day with very sore hamstrings (and I am pretty active) so I would suggest stretching out if you are going to be playing for awhile. As you get the hang of learning the tricks (for instance after you jump and while you are in the air put pressure on one toe and the opposite heal to pull off some crazy tricks to gain big points) it is even more enjoyable. Graphis care good. Game play on the balance board is great.

I just recently received this game a couple of days ago. I really love the Tales of series the most. Using the Wii remote for it isn't that hard, but my hands get a little tired from holding it for so long.
Anyway, I should talk about the gameplay. You probably already know about the basic plot of the game but nothing of the gameplay or what a person who has played it thinks. I love the plot, even if it is sad to see Emil hating Llyod so much and he will say that constantly to others when he tries to go find him, at least until he meets Raine and realizes why the people of Iselia defend him so ardently. Despite this, I find the conversations funny and entertaining.
What I find disappointing is that it no longer lets you have the characters cook for each other like in previous Tales of games. You also have a system where you can travel quickly to other towns which is a plus to be sure, but sadly you have little to no opportunities to level up and bosses could crush you alive.

I picked this up as a rental and am glad I did. It is pretty entertaining for about an hour, but 30 minutes later my arm was killing me. Also, that coincides with the amount of time it took to finish the storyline. It is mostly a mortal combat type of gameplay, with a set sized arena where you fight the best of three matches and then you get a cut scene that moves the story along. Oddly enough, it is how the Clone Wars cartoon is moving on the TV. You only get 7 fighters, but it looks like you can unlike 3-4 more. I just don't have the arm or wrist strength to open them up. My best tactic (Single or Duel mode) was to just spin my wii mote in a circle in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion and I did well enough. The duel (multiplayer) was pure mortal combat, one one one best of three fighting. The game overall was entertaining for a moment, but for my money I prefer Star Wars the Force Unleashed.

This review will be mostly a comparison with the rock band 1 set, so I'll assume most people reading this are familiar with the game and/or the RB1 set. I'll also mention briefly the cymbal expansion and how it differs from the original play style. To start off, though, I'll list some of the features of this new set.
+Wireless
+Sound dampening pads
+Velocity sensitive (the harder you hit, the louder the sound)
+Metal-reinforced pedal
+Cymbal expansion ports
The set out of the box is just as simple as the first one to set up, and even if you have not put one together before, it is fairly self-explanatory. Square peg goes in the square hole, as it were. It took me about 5 minutes to socket the pieces and get it to the appropriate height I wanted. My overall impressions of the set are that although it is made with more plastic than aluminum this time around, the frame itself seems sturdier, with less wobble because the base and sides are a bit wider. Three AA batteries are needed, so you

I completely addicted to the first MySims game for Wii, but I wished they would come out with a sequel where they fixed the loading time issues and the frustrating build system. Well I was so excited to see MySims Kingdom (MSK) released, I bought it right away because the reviews said the loading time was nil and the building system was better. Well after a brief playtime I realized this was not the sequel I was waiting for.
For some reason the addictive quality of MS is not present in MSK.
Instead of getting requests to build specific pieces of furniture or buildings for people, you have to use pre-made items to fill in buildings or areas and meet certain criteria (i.e it needs to have 10 spooky items and 10 cute items). What is lost is the total customizablility that MS gives. You could design endless possibilities of types of furniture and fixtures based on blueprints or create something totally unique without a blueprint.
MSK involves getting a Scroll that requires a certain

I previously had Wii contact rechargeables with a USB-powered charging station so my feedback comes from that perspective. Below are a couple of items of note for prospective owners. This info is also covered in other reviews, I am just consolidating here from my experience:
- When fully charged the lights blink vs. steady on - this is counter-intuitive to me - and is also annoying to me. I had to hide the charging station in a cabinet to mask the blinking lights.
- The initial charge took much longer than expected (24+ hours to get the blinking blue lights).
- The vibration feature feels somewhat different than what I was used to. Not better or worse (that is subjective), but definitely different.
- The new battery pack is definitely lighter than my previous rechargeables. I don't know if it is lighter that AAs.
- The charging station has to be plugged into an outlet, it is not USB connected. I would have preferred a USB connection so that I could plug it into the Wii.

This is the best Need for Speed ever on the Wii. I now own the following for my Wii:
Gamecube versions of NFS Underground, Underground2 and Most Wanted
Wii versions of Carbon, ProStreet and Undercover
From a most playable/most fun point of view Most Wanted has always been best in series (we all know that).
For the record, Underground was first with amazing pseudo-realistic graphics. Underground2 was first with an open world driving concept (still limited but the first in NFS series). Most was first with Cop Chases (and a few other features). Carbon has a good plot, a great big world that could be explored, and strange hard-to-learn controls (if you learn them the game is great, what a pain though). ProStreet had great new driving mechanics and updated real-damage modelling that were fun, great racer, too bad it's got such dull environments and gets monotonous after a while (I've played through half of it hard and solid, finally entered some cheats and now am driving an amazing customized
