Customer Review: GOOD, BUT TOO SHORT?
this game is really good fun, but it is quite easy to complete, its also only got 16 levels. I am a teenager and a fan of shrek and i love this game, i’d say its worth a buy, but could get boring.
Customer Review: Great fun!
This game uses all functions of the DS well. The gameplay takes place on the bottom screen with the top screen being an extension of the scene (also the help tips appear here). You can play as multiple different characters. You use the directional control pad (or the ABXY buttons for LH gamers!) to move each character (although the game is set in a 3D world, the actual gameplay is only 2D so you can only move side to side or up and down). You will need to use your stylus all the time to enable each character to perform their own unique ‘moves’ to enable progression through the game. The clever part of this game is the ability to switch between playing as different characters (e.g. Shrek, Puss and Artie at the beginning of the game), individually, in pairs and as a team, making them work together to get to the end of each level. Each character has different individual skills, and you will need to use them separately to access different parts of each level to allow the other characters to continue through to the end of the level. E.g., Puss is the only one who can jump to ledges and ‘roll attack’ through small gaps; Artie is the only one who can cross water by floating on his shield and activate some magic auras by throwing his shield at a glowing object above; Shrek can break weak floors or crash through walls. If you want to progress to the next level, you will need to have moved all 3 characters through to the end of the level so that they are standing in front of the Mystic Exit together, otherwise it won’t activate! Once you have selected the mode of play and the save slot, you will be taken through the story thus far. You need to turn the DS around by 90 degrees to view it as a 2-page book. The left page has stained-glass style artwork (as per the opening of the films), and the right page has the text of the story. The great thing about this is that Donkey actually narrates the story, embellishing the standard written text as only he can! This is great fun for all, but particularly good for young children who cannot read the story-book text very fast. After Donkey has finished his story telling, you are off to the Apprentice Hall where you find yourself playing as Shrek (on his own). After successfully progressing through the Apprentice Hall playing as all the 3 characters (separately and together) you start the game ‘proper’. There are 4 ‘worlds’ - Bogey Byway, Raiders Bay, Maze of Spades, Castlehoff. In each of these 4 worlds there are 4 levels to complete (3 levels and a final level). In each level you will need to collect a number of golden fairies and coins. You cannot proceed to the next world without first completing the previous world. It is a great game that uses all the functions of the DS well. It’s certainly not a difficult game, and perhaps aimed at the younger market, however I think adults will enjoy this game and not become too bored as you need to think on an additional ‘logical’ level to complete each level using mutliple characters. GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:- 2 MODES OF PLAY - a) single play, and (b) multiplay (where you can host a game or join a game using the NDS wireless capabilities); 3 separate SAVE SLOTS to save 3 separate games - enabling multi independent users; Great SOUND EFFECTS throughout the whole game - Donkey narrates the initial story and all the ‘help’ icons, plus each character will frequently make character-specific noises (Shrek farts and burps!); MAGIC allows you to do such things as help defeat enemies and access ledges for those characters that can’t jump - if you hold the L or R shoulder button, a purple haze will cover the screen, and you can use your magic on the objects you can see flashing through the haze; COLLECT 26 GOLDEN FAIRIES to break the spell and COLLECT 84 COINS to unlock bonuses and secrets; Collect MERLIN’S HOLOGRAM BOXES throughout gameplay to see what has recently happened in Far Far Away.

Customer Review: One shall stand, One shall fall
When the 2007 live-action Transformers movie was released, it was inevitable that it, like all other big blockbuster titles, would receive a video game adaption, the question however was; would it be good or bad. Well, the answer is both yes and no, Transformers has a very easy concept to turn into a video game and more recently we have started to see an improvement in video game movie tie-ins (King Kong, Spiderman 2, Batman Begins), however, of course a great movie can always make for a bad video game. Now as for the concept, the storyline is based on that of the movie, in which the Transformers have come to Earth searching for the Allspark, the ultimate source of power in the known universe and the very thing that created them. There are several characters you get to play as, each with varying strengths and different alternate modes. The highlight of the game, is that you get to choose which side you can play as. You choose either the Autobots, the heroic group sworn to protect all life, or the Decepticons, whose only purpose is to destroy and conquer. Now, the gameplay differs onsiderably between each faction, the Decepticons campaign probably gets the higher props in the ‘fun’ factor, seeing as though most of their campaign involves destroying everything in sight. The Autobots campaign is more made up of racing around to areas within a certain time limit. Both campaigns have a good deal of shooting, driving, fighting and exploring. Graphics wise, the game looks quite good, the in-game models look very close to the CG movie models excellent designs. There is also quite a bit of detail put into the environments. The cutscenes are mostly hit-and-miss, some look great (especially the final ones and the intro), whilst some look severely rushed. As for interaction, the Transformers interact with their environments very well, they can climb, jump and move at such a freedom no other Transformers game has allowed. Add to the fact they can transform into various vehicles further expands that freedom. The game also contains some very impressive destructible environments, with debree thrown everywhere in quite a realistic fashoin when a building is destroyed. You can also use certain parts of the environment as weapons. Now as for gameplay, this is where the game has most of it’s problems. Driving feels quite good, as you can boost and shoot at the same time. The game also has a melee combat system which allows for the Transformers to go hand-to-hand with each other. However, much of the combat can feel simplistic, especially when you appear to use the same strategy against a differing foe. As for shooting, it’s only really useful against weaker enemies and Human-based vehicles, the stronger oponents usually block every shot with the only effect being to slow them down a bit. Only a few weapons, such as Blackout’s EMP blasts or Ironhide’s cannons, seem to have any effect on the stronger foes. This is where you can use pieces of the environment, like other cars, lamposts etc. as weapons which does add slightly to the gameplay value. The sound feels quite well done, one musical score in particular felt movie-quality and the sounds of the explosions, transformations and weapon fire, don’t feel too bad at all. It’s probably the voice-acting in the cutscenes that were done the poorest. For nostalgic value, not only has Peter Cullen, who voiced Optimus Prime in the original series and the new movie, recorded lines for the game, but also Frank Welker, the original voice of Megatron, lended his talents. Now, admittidly whilst it was good to hear it again in the role after so many years, his voice doesn’t quite fit the look and attitude of the frightening and viscious movie Megatron (voiced in the movie by Hugo Weaving). Added to the value is that professional voice actor/live actor Keith David provides the voice for the Decepticon, Barricade. Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox also lend their voices for the game, although in all honesty, they really don’t sound like they were trying much, with Megan Fox sounding more like a ditz than she ever truly has done. For fans of the series, not only do you get to play as many Transformers characters on either side, but the game also has added characters not seen in the movie (ala the Spider-Man adaptions) and also plenty of bonus features for replay value. All in all, whilst this could have been much better, it is fairly enjoyable while it lasts and to date, is the most complete Transformers gaming experience (as good as Atari’s excellent PS2 title was, it lacked much of the interaction present in this game and also many of the enemies lacked the ability to transform, even though in most other areas, is all-in-all a better game) All-in-all, this game won’t please everybody, but as a fan, I enjoyed it for what it was, simplistic, mindless fun.

Customer Review: Transform and roll out.
I bought this game cause i loved Transformers when i was a kid and i loved the movie. I must say i find it very entertaining and funny. Not a masterpiece like Halo or something like that, but it as great transformations and you can control all the famous bots of the series. Great game for transformers fans.

Game Boy Advance Console - Platinum
The Game Boy Advance features power that would have been unthinkable back when the original Game Boy was launched. Its 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former machine’s 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying bleeps and bloops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitised stereo sound. When you first pick up the system, you’ll notice how lightweight it is. It’s a little less than 150 grams, but a little larger than a deck of playing cards. The GBA’s wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands, and the screen is fitted with antiglare technology–you need pretty good light to play by, but you won’t be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the reflection of the light bulb in your screen.
You’ll also notice the graphics. Essentially sporting redesigned SNES technology, you’ll see things on the GBA that the big consoles do, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects–technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to scoring a goal to crawling through a dungeon. The extra processing muscle also means you can network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun from one shared cartridge. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play not only its own line of colourful games–including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, and Kuru Kuru Kurin–but also almost all of the monochrome and colour games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems. It seems that Nintendo have wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade’s technological storms, the Game Boy Advance seems here to stay. –Porter B Hall
Customer Review: Decent enough…
The GBA maybe showing its age against the DS and PSP but it’s still a decent portable gaming system and there’s nearly always something for everyone here.
The handheld has a large list of games plus it can play older Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles giving you access to a massive library of games to choose from. If you have the right cables you can link up with other GBA’s to play multiplayer games and even link up with the Gamecube on certain games.
The only major problem with the system is the lack of a back light display which means that if you play the GBA in a poorly lit place you won’t see very much. There are ways around this (worm light, afterburner…) but you are worried about this I recommend getting the GBA SP or a DS instead.
If you are looking for a cheap portable gaming system, you won’t go far wrong with the GBA. Get some decent rechargeable batteries and bus/train journeys will never be the same again.
Customer Review: Good system for the kids
This is an OK first game system for the kids. it will keep them amused for some time, although, if you are used to the screen lighting up, this is not for you. but once you get used to that, you can enjoy the console, plus the ability to link to other users can take you to another level, so long as you have the same game !!!!
