This headset is awesome. Much better that the DreamGear wired set I had that lasted two weeks and broke. I love Sony, I should have invested in this set anyway. The fact that it's factory recertified means nothing. Sony wouldn't chimp on their products. They only release top of the line, working products. No worries buyers, this is a great working headset.

Overlord: Raising Hell

I really enjoyed this game. Overlord is one of the few titles on PS3 that will allow you to play a strategy-type game (but also retains some optional first-person smiting of your own). You're leading a pack of minions of several types, and have to use them strategically to win your battles.

Even though at a first glance the Overlord you're controlling is an evil creature, the gameplay allows you to proceed through the game doing mostly noble and helpful deeds, while listening to lots of humorous feedback. Throughout the game, it retains an enjoyable light-hearted atmosphere, without the usual "save-the-mankind-from-doom-and-gloom" setting.

Animation and graphics look a bit dated, but this doesn't get in the way of fun. Definitely, a recommended purchase if you're looking for a new type of PS3 entertaining. If you want to try it out, just download a free demo from the PSN store, I think it gives an accurate impression of the whole experience.

When this was put out for the X-Box 360 and PC there was complaints about controling your minions and no map, bugs in the system. There have been great improvements for the PS3. There is a map, so now you don't run around in circles. Monions are very easy to control, they are still playful and love getting drunk and pissing on the floor. It doesn't take much to upset the towns people.

I believe anyone who like adventure games would enjoy this.

Overlord Raising Hell is a good game if you like to command units to do your bidding.

In this game you need to reclaim your dark kingdom because your castle has been destroyed by some meddlesome heroes. They killed your predecessor so now you need to take over your kingdom once again. In the beginning of your game you go in search of your different types of minions because they have been scattered over the world. If you are good at strategy games you will re conquer your kingdom in no time but you need to have patience. The game sometimes gets challenging because you will be travelling through large lands and sometimes it seems like a maze. The game gets fun when your minions clash with large groups of enemies. Sometimes your minion horde is totally destroyed then you will find yourself fighting for your life so you should always have your best weapon handy.

There are 4 kinds of minions that you can command.

Brown minions are your main fighters and they can take the most damage so you would want to have more of them than any other unit.

Green minions are smelly creatures but they are very sneaky while guarding. They are almost unnoticeable if only they could take a bath so you may not want them to guard against animals. They are also the only unit that can get rid of plants that give off noxious fumes that kill any other minion.

Blue minions can cross water and are the only minions that can any other unit would drown they are very magical and can raise dead minions if you get them there in time. They are horrible fighters but if you fight spirits like wisps or ghosts they are the only unit that can combat them.

Red minions are fiery creatures that can throw fire balls at enemies. They are good at killing unarmed units because they can light them on fire. Red minions are the only unit that can extinguish flames that would kill any other unit.

If you use your minions and weapons right you will find yourself becoming a very powerful overlord.

I can honestly say that when I picked up this game I didn't expect anything unique or different. I was so WRONG. This game starts with a slow story and not much background information. But as you progress through the game there are hints about your past. You soon become obsessed with the story and humor. The controls are hard to get at the beginning but it gets easier and the ending is a truly worth it. I LOVE THIS GAME.

I've had this game for some time now. I love the game play, being able to control the minions as you walk around each world. You can decide to be evil and keep the locals under your thumb, or be kind and merciful. (you get more power for being evil) And the game builds as you go. You learn to control your minions, you get new kinds of minions as you go, and new weapons and powers. Control is good and not as complicated as some others say it is. In most games you can control the view of your character with the right thumb stick, but that is used to control your minions in this game, so that is one thing common in most games not found in this one that takes some getting used to, but that was about it. Most the rest of it is learn as you go and enjoy being EVIL!

Sonic Unleashed

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $17.58
Today's Bonus: 12% Off

I don't understand why this game has been getting trashed across the review board. Everyone, PLEASE don't take the critic's word for it on this game, I feel that IGN and the rest of them are being unjustly harsh and biased with their reviews of Sonic Unleashed. At the very least give this game a look to see if it's your cup of tea.

I'll start by saying this title is an innovated new approach to the Sonic franchise. As mentioned the day levels have very traditional sort of "Sonic" feel to them, with minor tweaks and adjustments to improve the flow of the game's transition to 3-D platforming. For example, you can now use L1 and R1 to sidestep during times when Sonic is running at top speed. You'll perform timed button pressing combos to advance through the course and keep the flow of the action moving steadily at some points. These gameplay mechanics that have been implemented vastly improve Sonic's movements and abilities, which finally gives Sonic a smooth, intuitive 3-D experience.

As said before, the daytime stages are only half of what Unleashed has to offer. I won't spoil the storyline for those of you who may care, but at night you become the "Werehog" and obtain a surprisingly deep new combat system. The Werehog has furry arms with claws that stretch like Mr. Fantastic for some unexplained reason, and he moves at a crawling pace. The game then turns into a hack 'n slash style game very reminiscent of God of War's gameplay, even weaving together the same kinds of combos you'd expect to pull off with Kratos. Being a huge God of War fan, I for one enjoyed these areas of the game with much enthuse. Many people have complained that Sonic moves far too slow and clunky as the Werehog which in turn takes away from the overall pacing of the game. There are also some platforming elements sort of similar to God of War or even Prince of Persia, where you shimmy across ledges, climb columns, and swing from poles. Several people have already criticized these parts of the Werehog levels as well, saying it was too unforgiving and became frustrating as you die so many times. First off, I think people who complain about games being too challenging are weak and just can't handle the difficulty. Second, you can't just keep repeating the same formula for a Sonic game after dozens of different incarnations. Sega needed to take the franchise in a fresh, new direction, and I truly think they have succeeded with Unleashed.

I do think many critics have an unfair prejudice against Sonic games now because of previous failed attempts to bring the platformer into the 3rd dimension. So please give this game a chance. It brings more of the traditional Sonic but improved. If you like God of War, which is a game that most gamers have enjoyed by now, then you should at least be somewhat thrilled by what Unleashed has to offer with the Werehog. If you don't like God of War, then you should be hung for treason. Hail ZEUS!

The hedgehog we know and love seems to have a hit in his series again. The Sonic stages now contain the speed we have been waiting for. It seems they took somewhat of the style from Sonic and the Secret Rings, and worked out the glitches so that we now have a responsive and fast-paced sonic gameplay once again. Yet another thing I love about this game is you level up sonic's abilities so that he can have more boost and be faster as himself, and increase all of his other attributes in his werehog form. After you get sonic's speed to max he really blasts through the levels.

Now it surprises me how many people complain about the werehog stages. Sonic's night stages seem to be a lot of fun to me, because it just is a classic smack 'em up brawl. Another thing that is neat is when you level up your combat abilities you learn new moves, so by the end of the game you have many new combos you can fight with that are much more effective.

Apparently people have issues with sun and moon medals as well. I didn't encounter the issue of being short on medals until like sun medal level 7 was needed, and that's because I wasn't really looking for them too much. All you need to do is just keep an eye out for them while you are playing the game.

Basically this is a Sega step in the right direction with Sonic, and an improvement over other Sonic games of late. It also is the fastest I've seen sonic in a game for a while. This is a game any Sonic fan should want to have.

Sonic Unleashed is a fantastic contribution to the Sonic the Hedgehog series. This is one game that has shown me that Sonic is still alive and well, and that the franchise still has much going for it. After seeing Sonic and the Secret Rings, with its heavy rock soundtrack, its choppy graphics, and poorly planned camera angles, I was afraid that Sonic had fallen to rise no more. Sonic Unleashed proved me wrong. After playing this game, I would have to say it is my third favorite Sonic title, after Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) and Sonic and Knuckles.

This title shows care in its craftsmanship, from the storyline, to the quality cutscenes, to the stunning levels, to the intuitive controls, the charming orchestral music, and the great sound effects. As opposed to some, I actually enjoy the nighttime levels, where Sonic transforms into a werewolf-like creature (a Werehog; this phenomenon is Robotnik's doing). Here, the player is charged with fighting off 'Dark Gaia' monsters using a series of button combinations in fun, non-bloody combat. Many would disagree, but to me it seems an amusing and clever innovation to the series. I would much rather see breaks with tradition of this nature, than see Hedgehogs pick up pistols or hear heavy metal vocals blasting in the background (if you know what I mean). Furthermore, this is not an irreversible change, either, for at the end of the game, Sonic is cured of his curious condition.

Of course, the high-speed daytime levels are the best, and capture most the spirit of Sonic the Hedgehog. Really, they are beyond compare. The speed is exhilarating, with the graphics losing no character at all as the velocity rises. The 'Homing Attack' allows for easy attacks on the Robots, the 'Ring Energy' allows more speed with every ring collected, and the 'Side Step' function allows Sonic to dodge enemies quickly while rushing forward. The Boss Battles are particularily stunning. All the while, gameplay merges seamlessly between 3D and 2D ----once again, an excellent innovation.

Now, as with every game, there are frustrating moments. Some challenges that are presented to the player are rather difficult. In the nighttime levels, one often must walk Sonic across narrow beams, where failure means to plummet to the bottom of a deep chasm. In the daytime levels, it can sometimes be quite difficult to swing from poles in succession, or run at high speeds across water and ice. In some cases, it can be hard to find the next level as one searches for it in the hub worlds. Having to find a certain number of sun or moon medals to advance the story can be tedious. But all in all, Sonic Unleashed proved to be challenging, yet playable at the same time.

In closing here, I will say this: I hope that Sonic Unleashed forebodes what is to come. I believe that SEGA has learned its lessons, and have put them to good use in the new game Sonic and the Black Knight (the far-superior sequel to Sonic and the Secret Rings).

I grew up with Sonic and have been a fan since the original Sonic on Sega Genesis and Game Gear. Throughout the years after the Sega Genesis games, Sonic has many ups and downs....more downs then up. So our newest attempt is Sonic Unleashed.

Before I purchased this game I looked at every video and review possible because I was hesitant, seeing as how every other 3D Sonic game faired, I was more frightened then intrigued. I was a fan of the Sonic parts in Sonic Adventures 1 & 2, but hated the other characters in those games. After I purchased the game I can tell you that its definitely a better game.

My favorite things about this game that its a solid platform game. When your Sonic, your going through beautifully designed levels at a fast speed, or some with big challenge that look like a grown up version of the original Sonic series. It does feel scripted at times like you can only go front, but its too fun that I can honestly say who cares.

As far as the Werehog goes, when I first played with him I was ready to trade my game in. As the story goes and levels opened up, I actually didn't mind. He has more puzzles and challenges and is actually fun to play. WAYYYYYYY Better then the stupid characters from S.A. 1 & 2. Trust me I rather be Werehog then have to sit through fishing or searching for Emeralds.

The only things I didn't like. The towns and how you have to talk to people made no sense and was dumb, this isn't Final Fantasy so there's no need for it. I for one never read anything they said. Annoying songs and constant baddies with Werehog. Playing with Tails....THATS RIGHT. They kept stripping his character down until we get this, airplane chase repetitive levels??? are you series. Tails flies why does he need a plane?

All in all its a good game, lots of fun and definitely lots of replay value, and there aren't many platforms out there anymore because everything is dumb shooters....*sigh* how the times have changed!

I picked up this game the beginning of september. I got it because Ive always loved Sonic Games but I was very cautious because everyone is criticising this game. Im here to say "STOP CRITICISING THIS GAME!!!!!!!" Its a great game!!!!! So far, Im not really to into the story but its still very fun to just sit back & watch the amazing cut-scenes. But, gameplay is definitely Awesome!!! Its so fun, during the Day Time Stages you got an extremely fast running hedgehog with fun & amazing graphics for a Sonic Game. & then during the Night Time Stages you get to play as The BADASS Werehog!!! If you enjoy playing God of War & prince of persia which are my favorite games!!!!! Then u can honestly look at the Werehog gameplay as those types of games but instead of being "The god of war" or "The prince of persia" you get to be Sonic The Werehog. Theres puzzles, tons of enemies, big boss battles, great graphics, a solid story, & Very Fun Gameplay!!!!! & Trophies Which are fun/challenging to achieve. What more can u possibly ask for? Especially from a Sonic Game that came out in 2008. I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS GAME!!!!! OH! By the way, its only like $20!!! really people???? Stop wasting time & get this game!!!!!! Its worth it!!!!!! Alrighty than, Ive said enough. Hope my review helped you out, enjoy the rest of your lifes.

SOCOM 4 U.S. Navy SEALs Full Deployment Edition

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $159.98
Today's Bonus:

PS3 Move bundle: If you don't have the PS3 Move yet, this is a great deal. This is also the ONLY PS3 Move gun peripheral worth buying. Trust me, I tried many of them. It takes some getting used-to, but didn't analog sticks the first time you picked up a PS2 or Xbox controller? Once you get used to the Sharpshooter, it's like second nature. It also feels better holding it and pulling the trigger than any analog controller. It also seems more accurate. There are calibration issues, but not enough to stop me from using this all the time instead of normal controllers. It's just so much more fun!

GAME: GREAT to use with the Sony Sharpshooter gun. That's the reason I bought it. The only other Sharpshooter game worth mentioning is Killzone 3. SOCOM4 is MUCH better to play with the Sharpshooter. 1. It seems more realistic. 2. The calibration seems better. In KZ3, I had to recalibrate every 5 minutes. This one stays more or less calibrated. I do have to recalibrate every so often, or "yank the crosshairs back". Basically, on the fly recalibrating by yanking the controller far left or right off the screen. It is annoying, but works. One downside I did notice: Sometimes, randomly, it doesn't allow you to recalibrate in the options menu. The recalibrate button just is not there...no idea why. So you have to exit and restart the mission. Weird..

The game itself cannot beat titles like MOH or COD as far as gameplay, but it does add a tactical feel. You can control squads instead of being the lone wolf. Sort of like Tom Clancys Rainbow Six games, except not boring...and more fast paced. You also have options on how you want to attack an objective. You can go in stealthy and perform stealth attacks, snipe, or use your teams to setup ambushes. Or you can do what I like to do and just setup overlapping fields of fire and just kill them all from cover, one by one.

Also, please stop comparing this to older SOCOM games. It's a PS3 Move shooter, and a great one. Unfortunately, carrying the SOCOM franchise name which means all the die-hard SOCOM fans out there are going to complain.

Graphics are fine. Not great, but definitely not bad. This won't beat Crysis 2 or KZ3 on graphics, but it IS the best graphics ever seen in a SOCOM game. So if you were/are a SOCOM fan, theres that. There are a few glitches, but even Crysis 2 has some. All games do. Overall, the lighting and environments are satisfying to an FPS player like me.

AI: Well...the AI is just completely mental. Your team will block your line of fire sometimes, or stroll right out into artillery fire. It's ok though, because you can just kill them to keep them out of the way and revive them later. They don't shoot back. A funny way to get around the dumb AI. Or, use them as cannon fodder or bait. They'll do whatever you say, because well, they're completely stupid. The enemies are a little better it seems, and use grenades, cover and can detect you pretty well. They are also very good at killing you, even on normal mode. I tried going "rambo style" and just rushing with machine guns and grenades. You can't. The enemy AI is too good of a shot and knows just where to throw grenades in order to kill you quickly. So all in all, AI is acceptable.

I haven't tried playing this without the Sony Sharpshooter. What's the point? You really won't want to use a regular controller ever again once you've tried this with the Sharpshooter. I've been waiting for a good gun-peripheral shooter to come out since Duck Hunt and the Lightgun on the Nintendo. Time Crisis was just "ok", KZ3 and MAG were decent... But SOCOM 4 is finally it. FINALLY! Now Sony, just fix that damn calibration issue.

Don't bother trying any other gun attachments than the Sharpshooter. I tried many of them and they are cheaply made and cannot map the buttons via USB like the Sharpshooter does. They are all a waste of money and just take up space in the closet now.

Two things you may want to do: Get a Hogue rubber pistol grip, universal size. These are intended for real handguns. I had one lying around and tried it. It's a tight fit, but once it's on, leaves enough room for the second trigger button to work. IE, it doesn't squeeze it. This makes holding the Sharpshooter MUCH more comfortable. It is painful to use for long hours, the pistol grip sleeve helps this.

Put a piece of foam between the Move controller and the plastic cover. If not, the vibration will cause a loud rattling sound. Very annoying.

You may also want a piece of foam stuck below the trigger guard. This is where a lot of the weight rests. Your middle finger will hurt after a while if not. Or use a glove.

I just bought a PS3 to play this on and I am so glad I did. The calibration rules once you get it down right (sometimes it takes me two-three times). It is so much faster than just using the controls alone. I was able to complete each level faster than I would have if I just had to use the sticks to get the job done. The controls are instinctive once you get some time on them. The only thing I didn't like was the positioning of the select and start switch. I would have to actually have to look at the gun to use select or start, other than that it is totally awesome. The fire selector switch is a god send in the heat of the moment when you need to go full auto or just single fire to get that headshot. The accuracy for me is out of this world. It comes close to RL shooting. If you have good shooting skills this game will confirm that for you. I am really happy with this game and the gun. It will actually give me a chance against those players who are all really good with their hands. It really evens out the playing field if you have problems with just using the sticks. The price is unbeatable, you basically get the gun and game for free. Don't hold back, just buy it and you will see what I mean. I can't wait to use this with Killzone 3 when I am done beating this.

I love playing this game with the move gun! It makes it so much more fun! I played the beta and I wasn't too into it (probably because I sucked the first time), but then my friend got this bundle with the gun and I tried it out again and came to the conclusion that I had to get one today. The rumble feature is the closest thing to actual recoil that I have ever felt for a console game. The bundle is well worth the price too, because the move bundle alone costs like $100. Highly recommended!!!

I have to say that this is the best combination for a shooting game, in fact I found it amazing because I never played move until now, and I can stop playing...The game could be better but you'll find playing this way so amazing that the game will be just right and enjoyable!...So go for it...

The gun is very well done, and is very intuitive in it's use, I mean it's a really good way of playing shooting games, and it turns really amazing playing it in a 3d TV, I fell I'm in the game, but I have found a little bit difficult to control the sensibility of the move controller so I turned it down so I can go slowly while I get used to it...

In overall everything is very well thought for the game, I rather prefer to use the "gun" with Killzone 3, This is the most amazing shooting experience I've ever tried!!! I would encourage everyone to play this game with this deployment....it's really amazing!!!....

For a shotting games fan and a person that has been reactive to buy the move bundle for playstation!....this one it's for you!...you'll love it...

And take a wise advice, buy the mounting clip for the camera, I found it really helpful and it works great!...

First of all, if you didn't like the past Socom games, you probably shouldn't get this game, but if your a newcomer like me or have played through the past socom games and liked it,pick this title up. Second, get this edition before it runs out! this package is a great deal, got it at release day delivery, and i was excited to tear open the packaging. you will find obviously the box what looks exactly like the picture here at amazon. Inside, there is another box which is brown containing a carton divider with socom 4 in shrinkrap, a ps move navigation controller, a ps move camera, psmove motion controller, and some manuels on the top. Take the carton divider thing out, and your ps move shartshooter will be revealed. I will review this product in great detail, so bear with me.

Deal

Great package deal, with the camera ($40) the motion controller ($50), the navagation controller ($30), the game ($60), and the sharpshooter controller ($40) for a total retail value of $220 USD, but you get it for 150, saving 70 dollars and basically getting the game for free and an extra ten bucks. Obviously a great deal. (5/5)

PS move in and out of socom 4

Works very well, and your motions are tracked with nearly pin-point accuracy. Works very well with socom 4, with great sensitivity variaties, and well though out controls, even though it is kind of awkward for me as i have yet to adapt to it. In other games like killzone 3 and the fight, controllers are also exceptionally fluent. The biggest disappointment with this in socom 4 is that if i imagined that the sharpshooter had iron sights or a red dot and looked down the middle, the aim on the screen would be off target. Not a big deal though, it still works fine. (4/5)

Socom 4 Single Player

Socom 4 is fun. The graphics are good by my standards on a 1080p hdtv, and the gameplay is good, with decent enemy ai, ok teammate ais (constantly need to be revived, but is stealthy enough to easily elude detection. You get really pulled in on Socom 4 when using the sharpshooter, as it feels as if you are in the action in a gunfight, moing your "gun" instead of moving a stick like your conventional shooter. Good enough storyline, good acting and interaction animation, more realistic than COD (what isn't). And if you didn't know it already, socom 4 is a team tactical third person shooter, but that doesn't mean you can't aim down your sites. Team coordination is key like in realife, not like COD where you can just charge in independently and expect to kill 10 guys.

smooth single player campain. (4.5/5)

Socom 4 Multiplayer

On the first day, lobbies were full. That says alot about the support socom 4 has from consumers. Weapon customization is easy, and i love the fact that you can customize your class between spawns. There is also a mode where you can face off ais (like combat training in COD BO) that i haven't tried yet. Multiplayer is really fun and another reason to buy this game. I spent six hours already playing it (alot for me). Unlike BO, there has been no lag, no connection failures, and no more " I shoot you ten times in the head with my m16 and you only shot me once in the leg with a makarov" situations. Also, there are more players allowed in each lobby than in COD, but not to the point where there are like 20 enemies surrounding you. (4.5/5)

Overall: One of the best games on the ps3 next to God of War 3. Definitely going to be in the "greatest hits". I don't think we will be seeing a huge price drop coming soon for socom 4 ( wish i could say the same thing for homefront). To me, better than COD, which i feel is overrated, still enjoyable to an extent. I will post an update if anything major (like a change in opinion) occurs.

Socom 4: Full Deployment Edition18/20, or 4.5 out of 5 (round to 5)

Dead to Rights: Retribution

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $29.75
Today's Bonus:

I had not played the first Dead to Rights, so this is my review of this game as it stands by itself and not the franchise as a whole. This is a review of the game from the playability aspect and not of the story. You can safely read my whole review and not have the story ruined at all. As I write this I have played it a couple of hours and will update this after I finish the whole game.

Overview:

You play as vice cop Jack Slate. Your job is to clean up Grant City. This game is mostly its a shooter with a different twist where your pet is a vicious fighting machine.

Game mechanics:(+)

If you ever played World Of Warcraft and played a hunter class you will be familiar with playing through your pet, (Shadow). This game takes that mechanic and builds on it by allowing you to control your pet with more "nuance", the end result is that its not just about going in guns blazing. Instead you must anticipate how Shadow will respond to the environment and also the threats. Its a pretty cool mix of the ideas of combat. Of course as Jack you can do your own special moves .

Shadow's forms: (+)

The cool thing is as Shadow you can play three different modes; one being a rogue like class where Shadow actually hunkers down and walks like a ninja dog, you know, if ninja dogs existed that is. Another one of his forms is a neutral fighter mode which is like a standard fighter class. The last form is the berserker form which is like all other berserker archetypal character. You do much more damage but are significantly weaker as far as armor.

Graphics: (+)

On the PS3 this looks fantastic. The textures are really sharp and detailed. At times there are alot of shadows and it can be difficult to see certain areas, but thats where Shadow comes in. Jack is kinda clunky appearing at times, but overall the look and appearance of the game as a whole is really crisp.

Lighting: (+)

The shadows look great! Usually in PS3 games there are jaggy shadows. In this I see them but not nearly as bad as say AC2. All in all they are crisp and flow over the objects in the game very well.

Motion Capture: (+)

The motion capture in this game is REALLY smooth. Especially with regards to Shadow, the dog animation looks very lifelike. During the fight sequences there are times Jack looks a bit like a puppet, but overall the motion is smooth.

Fighting (+/-)

'Hand to hand: (+)

The hand to hand fighting in this is spot on and a real fun part of the game. At times the moves are easy to execute because the built in character AI anticipates the moves you are trying to do, just enough to not be annoying.

Shooting: (-)

I didnt like the shooting in this game. It at times seemed off and a bit difficult to aim. I am not sure if it was the lack of aim assist or too much of it. Either way it was kind of hard to shoot at times.

Shadow: (+)

He tears this game up. I almost think that I would enjoy playing solely as Shadow for the whole game and just assume he could talk to people. It really is fun playing him as a pet and also as his own character. Very cool moves and vicious attacks.

Environments: (-)

The environments are standard post-apocalyptic fare. The mobs you are fighting are eh... ok. The ai is fine but the weird thing is the story has some glaring holes in it. I wont cover them here as to keep the no spoilers aspect of my reviews correct. Suffice to say you may be wondering what or where things are coming from, from time to time.

Replayability: (-)

I have not finished this yet but I do not see me being all that interested in replaying this just for trophies like I would for Assassins Creed II or Uncharted 1/2. It looks like I may play it one more time but after that I wouldn't be interested in playing it again.

Summary: (+)

This game sofar has been a blast to play and I look forward to finishing it. While its not perfect, it does offer some great story telling and the animations for Shadow are fantastic. It looks like they used motion capture for his animation. Jack is fun to play and its overall a really enjoyable game to play. I may change my story once I finish it.

Thank you for reading my review.

Dead to Rights 2 is immediately fun to play and one of the few 3rd person shooters I've found that also works well as a beat 'em up. Plus you get to play levels as the dog, Shadow.

+ As Jack, the action in Dead to Rights 2 is fast-paced and conducive to an aggressive, up close and personal, playing style. If you're the kind of player who likes to be methodical, stealthy and careful you're going to get frustrated fast. If you try to stay put too long or play too carefully, the AI closes in and kills you.

As Shadow, the opposite is true. You've got to be super stealthy and clear out an environment by picking off guys one by one. If you try rushing guys with guns as Shadow, you'll die fast. The result is that the diverse mechanics keep the experience diverse.

+/That being said, the levels go on longer than you might have come to expect in a shooter. When playing as Jack (most of the game), there are checkpoints, so you don't get punished too badly for dying. However as the game goes on and the bad guys just keep coming, the thought enters my mind, "Sheesh, how many more dudes could there possibly be?"

As Shadow, the challenges are much shorter (e.g. kill all the dudes in a warehouse and retrieve a card key), but there are no checkpoints. So you might have to lure and stealth kill as many as fifteen or so guys. If one of them kills you, you have to start over. If you're an impatient, run and gun kind of player (like me), you might start to get frustrated. However, playing as Shadow is still pretty fun.

+ Ultra-violence, blood and gore. I like it, but if you're squeamish, there is a gore setting to minimize this.

+ Shooting. There's no "auto-aim," but shooting is intuitive and easy. You can carry two guns at a time and toggle between them. After a few levels, Jack finds a stash of awesome weapons. Unlike some games, you don't keep your weapons once they run out of ammo. Jack throws them away. So you have to keep disarming you enemies. The disarm mechanics are fun and prove to be an easy way to kill enemies.

+ Fighting/hand-to-hand. There are some great blocks and combos and on-screen prompts take you to some gruesome finishers. It's in-depth enough not to be boring, yet simple enough not to be tedious (e.g. Mortal Kombat). There are a couple hand-to hand boss fights that can go on a while. My advice: learn to block and weave out of the way when your health gets low. Jack's health regenerates, but the boss's does not.

+ Jack has a feature called "focus" that slows down time for when the combat gets extra intense. This feature is somewhat similar to the "Dead-Eye" feature in Red Dead Redemption.

+/The camera is more like a hand-held camera during fight sequences and while running. It gives the fights a gritty, chaotic feel -like being in a rough and tumble melee. However, it does take some getting used to (about ten minutes of gameplay), as your immediate impression will be that of disorientation and losing control. (If you can't get over the fact that the camera behaves differently than in other games, you might not like this game). After a level or two, you won't even notice.

+ The controls are responsive and smooth. The on-screen prompts are clear and easy to follow. (Another reviewer complained about wonky controls. I do know that there's a patch when you first load up the game. Maybe the patch fixed this problem. Maybe the other reviewer just has crummy eye/hand coordination. Either way, the controls worked fine for me). The learning curve on the controls and mechanics was less than ten minutes of gameplay. After that, I took much delight in creatively dispatching the array of thugs the game threw at Jack and Shadow.

+ The hard-boiled cop story isn't the most original (on par with a Michael Bay flick), but it's really quite fun and never takes itself too seriously (e.g. a couple hours after an emotionally crushing event, Jack is already hitting on an attractive doctor). The overall design and tone of the game are stylized much like a graphic novel.

OVERALL:

Dead to Rights 2 breathes life into the shooter genre and I highly recommend it. You've maybe read the lukewarm IGN reviews. I have no idea what that's about. I would give this game a solid 8.2 (really good).

Comparing DTR:R to other 3rd person shooters (that I've recently played): I have had as much fun playing through Dead to Rights Retribution as I did KILLZONE 2 and more fun than RESISTANCE 2. But not as much fun as HEAVENLY SWORD or RED DEAD REDEMPTION.

I enjoyed the originality of DTR:R and the varied mechanics of shooting, melee and canine stealth attacks in the game.

I suppose you enjoy shooters or you wouldn't be reading the reviews on them so buy this game and you will not be disappointed. I would buy it if it only had the Shadow parts. WOW!!! what a dog. Does anyone know where I can get one of his pups?

I purchased this game with a bit of hesitation at first thinking on whether it would be plagued with awful controls. Not only the controls were allright but the gameplay is excellent, the voice acting is good and the story is intriguing.

The dog that the main character owns was probably the former pet of Mc Guyver though, but then again it's a videogame. I liked the disarming options and even though some people might complain about the "overkill" animations, they don't always appear so if you don't want to see them just don't press the buttons.

The weapons feel right, they have that "whomp" to them and overall I'm extremely satisfied with this game, it actually made me care about the character and his pet... it seems like a mix of a detective/rambo/a boy and his dog thing.

I strongly reccomend it if you are into beat 'em ups or a good story overall.

Want Dead to Rights: Retribution Discount?

This is one of the best games I have ever played. The story was interesting and I was always excited to see were the game would take me next. The only problem I found, which was minor, was there was no map which I have become accustomed to, but this never led to any problems during the game. There are no side missions, i.e. Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2, Grand theft auto, etc.., that we all have come accustomed to. Those are the only problems I could find, and they were not that big of a deal, because the game made up for it in the missions you played. This game is a great ride, and I cant wait to see how the makers of this game will try and top it.

I started out the X4's, then the X41's. So two years of better gaming. Both were great for many reasons. I even thought they were perfect. Now owning the PX5's for a week, it makes the other ones I have owned seem flawed. They really did justice to the PX5. Cable fits more snug to the Xbox controller, the volume control has a better range, and interference is little to none with the PX5. And even though the sound on the X41 is outstanding, the sound on the PX5 is even better.

If you have the money or can scrape up the money and you play a lot of MP type games, you really need a good headset to step up your game. Being able to know someone is coming, how close the might be, and what direction they are coming from really helps. Even if you just play on campaigns, these headsets really help to immerse yourself into the game's environment.

The biggest plus with any headset for speakers is being able to play games loudly without keeping everyone else awake. More importantly, if you play games that has harsh language and you have kids, then you keep them from accidentally hearing it.

UPDATE 4/13/2011

Well, a few weeks of use now. I use them with the 360 and so far, I am averaging 10 to 12 hours of use before replacing the batteries. I use rechargeable NiMH batteries. The best feature they added to this headset, that the other models did not have, is they finally give you a warning your batteries are about to die.

The sound is still great. I have tried the various presets and they really help depending on what type of game you play. Still highly recommended.

This is my day 1 review, but after about 4 hours playing yesterday this is an AWESOME headset and no regrets dropping the money for this one. All the other reviewers covered the performance aspects of this headset which totally sold me on it and I have nothing to add.

The one thing I wanted to share were two points about the setup process and how to integrate this into your existing home theatre for those of you who use your PS3 as the DVD/Blu-ray player in your Home Theatre.

BACKGROUND:

For both of these points it's important to first understand the wire connections between the PX5 to your PS3. You'll use:

(1) the included toslink cable to connect your PS3 optical audio out to the PX5 optical audio port;

(2) the included USB cable to connect an open PS3 USB jack to the PX5 power jack (this one kind of stinks because USB is on the front of your PS3 which makes hiding the wires a bit harder).

SETUP CLARIFICATION:

The instructions for the PX5 are not completely clear on the fact that there are 2 steps to getting the Audio and Voice Chat to work. Which, if you're like me, will mean you'll start up COD and end up with a very nice headset for chat but hear no game sounds.

1) For voice chat, the instructions are out of order you first Bluetooth pair the PX5 headset to your PS3 (using the provided instructions and the PS3 menu Settings > Accessory Settings > Manage Bluetooth Devices); and THEN set your PS3 to use the PX5 headset for voice chat (using the provided instructions and the PS3 menu Settings > Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings). Don't be confused that the Audio Device Settings having the Output Device means you'll get the game sounds through the headphones this only sends chat output to the headphones.

2) For game/movie audio output, if your PS3 is currently hooked up to your TV or Home Theater using only HDMI cable or AV Multi connector you likely have no audio coming to the headset or at best you will have downgraded 2-channel audio coming to the headset. You have to modify the Sound Settings to send surround sound to the Optical audio output jack (using PS3 menu Settings > Sound Settings > Audio Output Settings and setting the Digital Out (Optical) to have 5.1 sound coming out). This will also turn off your HDMI / AV Multi sound output meaning your TV/Home Theater go deaf unless you also turn on Audio Multi-Output (using PS3 menu Settings > Sound Settings > Audio Multi-Output). When you enable multi-output, the multi-output can only output surround sound out of a single output at a time and all other outputs get just 2-channel audio.

Which brings me to my second point.

HOME THEATER SETUP:

The PS3 has a limitation to only send digital surround sound output through 1 output at a time: either HDMI or Digital Out (Optical). So if you're currently using your PS3 in your Home Theater and you rely on HDMI cable to send the Audio and Video to your TV / Receiver you're either going to have to keep switching the Audio Output Settings back and forth when you want PS3 to output to Digital Out (so you can use your PX5's) or HDMI (so you can use your Home Theater). OR you can pick up an extra toslink cable (like AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable, 6 Feet) and then read this setup suggestion. The PX5 has an Optical Input and Output jack so you can connect PS3 > toslink > PX5 > toslink > TV/Receiver. Then you can leave your PS3 permanently outputting surround sound to Digital Out (Optical) and your PX5 will forward the signal to your TV/Receiver so it has available surround when you want to listen via your Home Theater.

Hope this helps you avoid a second order if you order the PX5 and extra toslink cable at same time.

The sound is crystal clear, and the mic works perfectly. Wanna know the best thing about these headphones? No more complaining from my girlfriend about all of the loud gunfire and explosions during gameplay. And even if she did complain, I couldn't hear her.

The Turtle Beach's PX5s are here to replace its predecessor the X41s.

My best friend had those headphones but returned them because of this hissing, cracking sound that was god awful. However, TB has rid of this problem as it is no longer happening in the PX5s. THIS IS HUGE. If you do your research you will see a plethora of complaints about the X41s having this issue.

Further, if you are really into FPS games such as killzone, COD, BFBC2 etc, then you will appreciate some of the presets such as silent footsteps; some presets really immerse you in the game. Some ppl speculated that the presets may just be a gimmick or ploy from TB but INDEED THEY ARE NOT AND THEY WORK.

NOTE: Make sure to use ninjo pro on BO to really get the advantage or else you will end up hearing the sound of YOUR OWN footsteps, which is not desirable.

Lastly, you should know that MLG recommends the ASTRO A40s, which are also awesome but come with an even heftier price tag of 350+[(when you include the wireless option. Of course, these are wireless and have more features (voice changer, downloading more presets, comes with DUAL bluetooth capabilities which is something that you CANNOT get on the astros)]. The latter feature helps a lot since my gf likes to bother me while I'm gaming and my Android can be answered by a click of a button through the PX5s; pretty cool, eh?!

Also it is helpful for you to know that the Astros are known for really good Ambient sound and Narration. Also, the astros made an improvement with their 2011 edition giving better bass containment then they offered before. The px5 don't have a bass booster toggle like the x41s, however, this is no longer a single-option-feature since the presets coupled with the ability to self adjust/customize the sound at an even greater depth is ALL at the user's fingertips.

The Px5 are probably the most advance and best WIRELESS GAMING headsets you can get on the market right now and with amazon's superb CSRs and pricing, you can't go wrong.

PS please don't bother comparing these to the Tritton Pros and/or the 720s it really undermines the Px5s, they are not in the same league.

Update 4/1/2011

After muh more use and playing around with the headsets, I decided to give an update. Honestly, I have a issue with the lack of proper bass; that is there is not a fair balance of adequate/tight/clean bass ESPECIALLY is you are on preset 2 or 4. If someone throws a grenade and it lands by me or if there of many sounds going on out once, there is CONSIDERABLE distortion. This is not acceptable for such an expensive headset. So yeah, it has a multitude of features, but what is the point if you are not getting quality sound. Aside from that, the mids and highs are pretty good.

Here is what I wrote in response to a comment: "Now honestly, these are not going to sound as good as the 598s, or 555, the guy who has some distortion in the bass does not have a defective product, it's just like someone said here, these aren't going to be comparable to HD cans from a company like Senn,denon, etc. I swear they sound pretty good and I enjoy them but of course they are not up to par with some of the foregoing headsets mentioned above. Do they blow the Tritton 720/pros (crap madCatz) and px21s out of the water? Yes! But don't plan on getting the best GAMING headphones (on balance) and expect sound quality which you would receive from a similar priced audiophile company...it aint gonna' happen (at least not right now)"

Hope this was helpful...

OH and ONE LAST THING, to the guy who said he got 20hrs plus, YEAH RIGHT. That is NOT true unless you have the mic and bluetooth off. Sorry. Just had to clarify for everyone. It is entirely feasible and average for 6 hrs use if the bluetooth function is on all the time bc boy does that sure drain the batt.

I've had the Triton AxPro, X41, X31, Astro, and now the PX5.(All from Amazon, which was awesome this time as always) These are the best sounding by a landslide. Why the 4 star rating? Well, until I can customize my mic settings and edit my audio presets, and change "the voice" (yes, the headphones talk)... I can only rate it four stars. 5 is perfect. These are not. I facebooked TurtleBeach and asked whats up with the software that the manual and box say is on their website. "It isn't up there yet, it will be in a couple of days". Furthermore, that same manual makes mention of a Bluetooth adapter for the 360 controller for complete wireless chat... Also absent from their website. So those are the shortcomings for now. I hope the website is updated within 27 days, if not I will have to return these as they are only half what the box says they are. No editing mic levels, no voice morph, no custom presets, and no Bluetooth dongle.

All that said, they are awesome. Switching from Pandora on iPhone 4 to Black Ops is effortless. In fact they can be done at the same time! And I've named "her" Barbra. She tells me where we are in the presets: 1 ... 2 ... 3 and so on, or "Bluetooth on" or "Headset pairing". They are really quite amazing. The distance is larger from base to head as well. I can clearly hear BLOPS in the bathroom for those 1 minute breakswhereas with the x41 I was constantly met with signal loss. When these do lose signal, the transition is MUCH less jarring. The game sounds simply cut in and out until they are gone all together. They fade back in the same way. Lastly, not one pop, absolutely no hiss, not one crackle in range. The only audio flaw is that when "she" says "Bluetooth powering off" the "...off" fades out a bit. Those other things missing are icing on the cake. But the cake cost 250$ and I don't like cake without icing. Hopefully an update will follow, that is positive.

FOLLOW UP:

I had to return the headset to Amazon. Booooo. Yes, there is some software on TB website. As kitschy as a "voice morph" is... It simply doesn't warrant a 250$ price tag. The actual "real" software is still absent from their website (Whatever "Coming Soon" means). I want to adjust, at the very least, some generic "bass" setting or tinker with a "treble" slider. In addition to that flagrant faux pas, there is no Bluetooth dongle to be had for us 360 exclusive gamers. BOTH of these items are listed IN THE MANUAL and in the description of their product on their own site! This is not to diminish the quality of either the build or the sound. Both are superior to their the X41 model. But not for almost double the cost. Until the price comes down, and/or these other two items are available... I will not recommend this product. Continue to enjoy the X41. In fact, buy two and let the wife enjoy some quality sounds while gaming or watching a flick or two. I do miss these cans, but I not as much as I missed the $$$. I hope to update again soon. I also hope I can do more than be blinded by their beauty and gush over their sound. Maybe I could even review this elusive software, and even more mysterious Bluetooth dongle. By then, I bet they are at least 50$ cheaper too. Which in turn will likely pay for a portion of the sure-to-be over priced dongle.

Also, I don't care to be involved in the flame debate below... Nothing personal, I'd just rather be playing video games... Or eating broken glass.

Second Follow Up:

As of late July 2011 the software is up on TB website. I will review them again once the Bluetooth adapter is available... Maybe. Or I'll just get the Xbox version of the PX5, to be released "soon".

This game is lots of fun. I have been playing it all weekend and am still addicted. The game has little story but makes up for it with non stop action. It's true that the game doesn't do anything new and amazing but it's a movie tie in. When has a movie tie-in done anything revolutionary?

The game plays almost like a single player version of a multiplayer game. You run around a huge map killing every enemy thing you see. Yes, most of the missions are recycled in different ways but the nature of the game is a shooter. The missions just giving you different reasons to do it.

I think the Na'vi side is a bit more fun because you have close range melee attacks that work well up close. As well as an awesome bow and arrow that can take out most tiny soldiers with one satisfying hit. Plus for some reason, I guess because they are tribal, you get the urge to play with a more hunting style. Climbing to the tops of giant trees and stalking tiny humans and taking them out with your bow and arrow really nails the tribal hunter awesomeness. The RDA side is shooter style only with no melee at all. That can be annoying because when enemies get to close they can be difficult to target because they move so fast when up close. But at least they are huge targets.

The graphics are unbelievable. The Jungles are so detailed and amazing to look at. The best part are the night areas. Everything glows in the dark. The trees, plants, animals. It looks almost like under the ocean. The perspectives are fun too. Playing as the Na'vi everything looks tiny including the humans. When you play as humans everything is huge. It helps to make both sides of the game feel original even though you are actually playing on the same maps.

The movie looks like it'll be awesome, and I think most of the gamers here will become big fans of the sci-fi adventure. It's unfortunate that the low score game magazine reviews will discourage so many people not to try this game. Hopefully after everyone sees the movie they will be inspired to try this awesome, entertaining game.

QUICK IMPRESSIONS

After watching the movie twice (once 'regular' 3D, than on IMAX, getting a copy of 'Avatar the game experience' came naturally, regardless of the so-so reviews I found at Amazon. To my surprise, I do NOT regret making this purchase not because Avatar is an exceptionally innovative game but because it keeps the world of Pandora alive and teaming with life and conflict as we are all waiting for some more affordable 'at home' 3D technology to make the real Avatar and maybe a sequel or two possible in our living room.

So, briefly, the game is VERY good at giving us a sort of bird's eye view of Pandora the color, the features, the wild life, RDA's war machines are all pretty good renderings of Cameron's cinematic masterpiece a 3D mode is possible but we don't have that kind of a TV so we can only imagine what a 3D game would look like. Gameplay itself, while a bit repetitive, is not that bad and the lack of variety in weapons and skillsets is compensated by the several play modes. As for replay value, it really depends on how much you enjoyed the movie. By the way, I would not recommend playing this game unless you watched the movie because you can't play Avatar with a cold heart.

GAME SETUP

You have the ability to give your character a first name last name is always Ryder and you are a signal specialist. The game lets you shape you gender and appearance and, while at it, you will see how both your human and Na'vi face are going to look like. There are no difficulty settings so, unless you want to tinker with the sound settings or other minutia, you're ready to go.

Of course, there will come a point in the game where you will have to choose between sticking with the humans or joining the Na'vis.

GAMEPLAY

The beginning doesn't look like much you show up at the base and you run chores. Well... as you do that you gain experience points that bring more skills and you are allowed to access more articles from the Pandoran version of Wikipedia that can give you some idea of what you are dealing with. Eventually, in the story mode, you will have to decide on which side you really are. If you stick with the humans, you'll be riding mechanized vehicles and firing range weapons and lay waste to Pandora's wildlife and native population. If you pick the Na'vi, your bow is complemented with melee weapons and you'll be riding those amazing Pandoran dragons and... well... slaughter the little machine-gun firing but rather fragile humans.

The game play is very simple and easy to learn. You can evade, jump, shoot, and slow down time temporarily for climatic moments. You can do a lot of climbing in some parts however you cannot grab on to ledges and the terrain can get very confusing because of that. Sometimes you have to endlessly look for some vine to climb after giving up your attempts to climb the terrain without it. As a human, relying on ranged weapons exclusively can annoy some people because they constantly have to retreat from incoming enemies. As a Na'vi you have some melee weapons that can make many enemies easier to kill if they get too hard for your normal bow and arrow.

GAME MODES

If you want to take a break from story mode there is the conquest mode. Here you can command armies to conquer territory send the humans back home if you are a Na'vi or eliminate the Na'vi if you are with the humans. All you see in the conquest mode is the statistics of what happens so don't expect any climatic cut scenes. This mode can also benefit the normal story mode by giving you spoils as you progress through the game. These two parts of the game can refresh each other continually.

If you do multiplayer you go head to head with other players around the world on different maps throughout the game. There are many scenarios and maps so it stays fresh for a while. This mode can also help your skills for single play as well to help you get better. You usually pick between the Na'vi and humans so you can pick the side you are best with but, with good players it can get quite predictable with the humans continuously retreating and firing their weapons and the Na'vi trying to get close and engage in a melee that they almost always win.

So, to summarize, you can play Avatar as follows:

Na'vi in story mode

Human in story mode

Na'vi in contest mode

Human in contest mode

Na'vi in multiplayer

Human in multiplayer

MY RATING

Avatar could have been a blockbuster, the way the movie is but it's not quite there. It's a competently layout game with stunning visuals and offering some variety but there is very little as far as character development goes, there aren't too many weapons and the action, whether playing the conquest or the shootouts can be a little repetitive.

I've enjoyed playing Avatar for the first few hours and I expect to come back to it from time to time but, while a 'good' game, I would not call it 'top notch' so it's going to get 4 stars overall.

Un juego super entretenido y facil de pasar, ideal para los niños de la casa y los no tan niños que disfrutan de un juego de pelicula

Want Monsters vs. Aliens Discount?

My expectations for this game weren't all that high going in; even after hearing some online reviewers compare the platforming experience to Ratchet & Clank games. Suffice it to say that I was more than pleasantly surprised when I actually dug into what it had to offer.

Firstly, other reviews I've seen pretty much hit the nail on the head. This game really does take some of the R&C series' best platforming mechanics and make them feel fresh; often even improving upon them with the sheer amount of inventive variety each new stage presents as the game progresses. There are also a few more comparisons to be drawn from other franchises as well; going as far as incorporating themes from games as seemingly unrelated as oldschool Tony Hawk and even God Of War.

The game controls really well, offers a wide variety of hardcore challenges for the more serious platforming fanatic, and is continually switching up the gameplay. You'll move from character to character each time you complete a level; each with their own abilities and stage stylings. Ginormica's stages are a bit like an on-rail racer. The Missing Link is true to form beat-em-up platforming. And B.O.B.'s areas are more puzzle oriented than all others. You collect DNA points in order to purchase new abilities and challenge levels as you move through the game. All of these are positive things, as each character feels unique and manages to succeed. Stages are fun to replay, and you'll want to anyway for the sake of unlocking new goodies.

Monsters vs Aliens also looks very good. The on-screen action is relentless, and the camera angles are continually shifting; giving you that same sense of visual awe that the movie produces. It's also pretty amazing how the developers managed to fit their ideas in with the actual storyline of the film. The game is also insanely cheap at the moment, and offers up some ultra-fun trophy hunting/collecting. The boss battles all look and feel fantastic. The game is rather lengthy as well.

Two things I would warn any buyer of however: The game is not your average kids game. The difficulty can be pretty unforgiving unless you're pretty familiar with platformers in general. So please note that the training wheels most children's platforming games offer up are not present here. Teens and adults are more likely to love this game than small children will be. Children should be able to handle it most of the way through. But the challenge stages are clearly meant for an older generation of gamers.

Also please be warned that the two player co-op isn't what you might expect. The second player is always Dr. Cockroach. And all that player is able to do is move a reticle around on screen, collecting and shooting things, etc. This upset me at first, because I intended to play this with a friend and wasn't expecting uneven abilities. But we ended up loving it; simply switching the first player's controller back and forth whenever one of us was better suited to taking the lead on a particular stage. It's a lot like the two player function you'll see in the Mario Galaxy games, only slightly more involved and useful.

In short, this game deserves much more attention and praise than it's received. Much like Toy Story 3, this one doesn't disappoint and manages to never feel like a cheaply made game; aimed at making a quick buck. The developers really showed this one a great deal of attention. Admittedly, it took me about twenty minutes of gameplay to really get hooked. But this was mostly due to the game throwing you headfirst into the action and immediately switching characters; all with different controlling mechanics. But once I'd play a few stages with each character, I found that I more than liked this game. I couldn't put it down. So my advice is to pick this up if you have even the slightest interest in platformers at all. For this is an inexpensive winner, hands down.

The game definitely has some flaws (menus are similar to a pre-k learning DVD, some of the tracks lack difficulty, lack of playing modes) but overall I like the game. Graphics are decent and the scrub and whips are realistic.

The game seems like a low-budget also-ran that's supposed to compete with Little Big Planet. Except that there's no character to play as. It's kind of hard to control, LBP has the entire sixaxis controller to use, whereas this just uses the move controller, so you have to choose a lot of menu options to do things that could have been assigned to a joystick direction.

Still, it could be kind of interesting, depending on what you can create. I don't know if the physics model is as flexible as LBP.

It doesn't seem to be very exciting. I guess it's like setting up dominoes and watching them knock each other over. Mildly amusing, but not all that engaging.

I had to write something.

First: This is NOT a platformer. It cannot be compared to Little Big Planet or Super Mario.

This is a puzzle game and, as another reviewer noted, a good reminder of "The Incredible Machine". If you're fan of that genre, you'll have fun. If you want to create contraptions just to see what can be done, it's good too, although Little Big Planet is doing a better job at it (that's the only part of this game that can be compared).

If you buy this game for a young kid, he can be frustrated very quickly. It can be challenging to go through all the levels.

So look at the description of the game before buying it. It's a great game in its genre and there are too few of them.

Ever wanted to challenge yourself by making contraptions? This is the game for you! In Create you can choose from a variety of items and contraptions to help you get an object from point A to point B. The fun is even better with Move integration. If you are tired of the killing people all the time and you need a game that will stimulate the mind, I highly recommend this masterpiece. It's published by EA but don't worry. This one doesn't have DRM.
