Customer Review: This product is rubbish
I bought this for ?14.99 from argos and it didn’t work. it feels tacky, it looks rubbish and is about 30cm long - avoid this!!
Customer Review: absolutley abysmal
never in my life have i purchased such a mess of an item. Having plugged it into my PS3 upon arrival i was confronted with a blank screen, eventually got it to work with some ‘wiggling’ about but then it would not display 1080p (which is exactly what i bought it for). Being a lazy person i did not send it back and contented myself with 1080i… big mistake. Only two weeks later i was having to wiggle the socket end to get it to display my PS3 on my television every single time i switched my PS3 on. Eventually it stopped working all together and i was just outside the 30 day amazon returns policy. I have no issue with not being able to return it now as that was my own lazy fault, but i do have a problem with the blatant lies this product espouses. If you want to play at 1080p please please please buy another cable, if you want a HDMI cable that lasts more than 4 weeks please buy another cable. I am personally ashamed to have fallen into its trap.

Customer Review: A GOOD EARLY GAME
motorstorm is a good start for an off road game for the ps3 but needs improving in a few areas. this game has good graphics and pretty good physics and controls so initially you know you have bought a good handling off road game but…. when you get to level 4 races and above things degenerate into other cars just trying to smash you up no matter if it costs them the race or not.some dubious crashes dont help for example i was travelling at 15 mph and got hit into a rock and my car exploded into a shower of bolts exactly the same as it does when im doing 100 mph,that’s not good.level 4 and upwards is basically a chore and chores aren’t fun. online is really good,nice and smooth but if your a casual online gamer prepare to get slaughtered,if you practice online for hours and that’s your thing you will be fine. all in all the good outweighs the bad,for all the good graphics the loading times are really slow,for all the good physics the a.i. goes mental from level 4 onwards and so on and so on but its still worth a punt for 15 pounds preowned!
Customer Review: Weird…but it is actually OK…I like it. Or do I?
There seem to be two main tracks, one good and one that makes you cringe! The good one is a sort of rap pop…thing, without words. The bad one is…eeuurggghhhhhh! It is too bad for words! It’s a sort of intense rock piece of crud. The words (or should I say the ‘word’) are just repeated over and over again: “kieaa, kieaa, kieaa, kiaee, mastermanteey!” AARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now for the actual game. Weird and awful and boring, but somehow, it works. It is weird because: girls butts stick out like pillows. It is awful because: you’re bike blows up and flips over because you hit a small bump. It is boring because: it is unoriginal and nothing happens… and I still like it. Why? I don’t know, but if you like weirdos on motorbikes and one moment good, another moment, bad music then get Motorstorm. I you don’t like that stuff then don’t: there’s too much of it for any of that malarkey. So if you want a simple answer, there isn’t really one to give, but the shortest way of saying this is this is rubbish, but if you enjoy laughing you’re head off at weird crud, get it anyway! It’s awful. Okay, so that may have confused you, but that’s as simple as I can make it I’m afraid. If you like stupidly weird, get it. If not, don’t. Now even I’m confused…so if anyone says it’s fantastic, don’t listen to them, but anyone says that it’s awful, don’t listen to them either… This is a bit complicated…but anyway, I’m tired. I’ve written four reviews tonight. Bye.

Finding Nemo (GBA) Customer Review: big game 4 a lil nemo!
wow! this is a pretty impressive game and kids will love it! i only played on this game once as it belonged to the person i baby sit for (aged
but i thought it was well thought out. basically u play as nemo and have lots of adventures. you swim through stars and bubbles put there for you to collect and have to dodge the spikey fish and other dangerous things and if touch them then you lose a life (get 5 altogether). there are special plants that will restore your lives when u brush against them. also by using the letter B on your gameboy you have to carry a pearl to the oyster n drop it in its mouth so it then closes and you can get past it.
age recommendations would be a child aged between 5-12 as its fairly easy and with more time quickly completed by someone of a older age. im 14 and still found it quite enjoyable so if youre up for a fairly easy game and a laugh then this could also be for you!
good points
fun game, nicely thought out, follows the storyline of finding nemo, quite addictive
bad points
quite repetitive but for youngsters part of the fun
if you like finding nemo and youre of a younger age or want a easy/fun game then buy this one!!!
Customer Review: Its ok but it’s not addictive and its way too easy
I totally loved the movie but for me it way too easy! its definitely aimed around the 5-9 year olds! I completed the game in around 4 days and to tell u the truth it didnt keep me that entertained! However if your looking for a pressie for a young kid then buy it but for over 11’s choose wisely!
Happy gaming!

Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Oh no! It looks like your grandad was right–things really were better in the old days. Well, they were if you liked 2-D platform games, anyway, and Yoshi’s Island is indisputably one of the best ever made.
In a laudable attempt not to rehash its immediate forebear Yoshi’s Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various yoshis’ attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. For the first time ever in a Mario game you don’t actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs which he can then fling at more enemies and/or politicians.
Since Yoshi isn’t particularly fast and can float in mid-air for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo’s best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they’re joined this time, after the rather plain looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now.
As with the other Super Mario Advance titles this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. –David Jenkins
Customer Review: The Mario-Platforming formula got a whole lot better!
By now the name ‘Mario can only echo to the world mushrooms, evil turtles and ‘flower power’. Oh yeah and of course, the greatest video game character of all time. Yoshi’s Island is an excellent game, and the spirit of challenge and fun runs throughout from the start to the all-mighty finish! Oh, and considering the main character IS NOT MARIO but his trustworthy friend and pseudo-babysitter Yoshi; gamers can expect an experience that’s just a little bit different.
The story has been given a little bit more thought than the previous Mario games: that is the ‘rescue the princess/ defeat King Koopa’ template. With Yoshi’s Island we are introduced to a delightful fable - the evil Koopa wizard Kamek kidnaps one of two babies carried by a stork on a long-haul delivery, Luigi is the baby who is kidnapped while baby Mario plummets down to Yoshi’s island. The Yoshis decide to work together and follow baby Mario’s instincts to baby Luigi. In the process Kamek and his minions have to be defeated who are searching the Island for baby Mario. Now, its Yoshi’s turn to dance in the spotlight, the game does take many daring turns away from other Mario games as a result.
Yoshi’s Island seems a tongue-in-cheek approach in comparison to other Mario games. The enemies seem so OTT, that craziness can only be pulled off in the always-offbeat Mario universe! The levels are larger and trickier but without being frustratingly difficult. The equally OTT bosses are fun to destroy and the challenge is to work out their ‘Achilles heel’ with out being bumped off yourself. There is a surprising twist when actually come to defeating the final boss… you’ll just have to complete to find out what I’m talking about!As ever, simply completing levels is not enough, the Mario games take you on a journey rather than just through an entertaining game. You have to make use of all that you’ve been given resourcefully and overcome challenges that never always have the same solution. This game is more puzzle- orientated than any Mario game previously (perhaps closer to SMB 3 in approach than SMW) seen.
So the adventure begins, and what an adventure this is! The game brings an invigorating change to the previous Super Mario World, where Yoshi was the proverbial ‘workhorse’ for the Mario brothers. Here you have Yoshis of all colours with the green Yoshi being the main dinosaur. These guys have all new moves to use against Kamek’s enemies. The most notable being Yoshi swallowing his enemies and …err… excreting them as eggs. These eggs can be used to hurl at other enemies, unreachable items and to defeat bosses. Other moves include mega-stomping the ground, temporarily flying and morphing into vehicles. Wait second, vehicles? Yes, vehicles… Yoshi can transform into a helicopter, submarine, train or a car at certain sections of levels. The morph only lasts for a shot time within which you have to collect coins, power-ups and avoid baddies. Its diversions such as these that have always added depth to Mario games, which can appear very facile to the spectator, but fun to the player. There are many bonus games to access and a myriad of secrets to find. In fact to get the most out of these you’ll inadvertently end up playing the game more than once.
The presentation is also superb as always, with great graphics and plenty of catchy tunes. The style of Yoshi’s Island is fully realised and consistent throughout, more so than any preceding Mario game. With the variety in graphics, amazingly nothing appears out of place. The presentation may seem infantile, but wait a minute the game is centered on lost baby twins (duh!). The graphics did grow on me even more than today’s eye-blistering, 3D affairs. I loved the crayon, chalk and pencil landscapes: fooling you into thinking a child had drawn and coloured all these levels. Its not the fact that the graphics are great but the style of the game really immerses you into the varied environments of Yoshi’s Island. The audio is also clear and functional, while the music lulls you into playing the game as if you were playing with a toy. Maintaining this
‘universality’ of graphics and audio is another successful feature of all Mario games: it truly excels in Yoshi’s Island.
This review, in all honesty, does not sum up how great a game Yoshi’s Island really is… there is literally so much to encounter that you’ll not be bored of this game for a considerable length of time. The game is imaginative, colourful and highly entertaining. Another great thing about this game is that it will appeal to young kids, older kids and perhaps even those who wish they were still kids. Certain parts of the game perhaps require a little bit more skill than what children can be capable of and the sexless nature of the game means girls will love it just as much as guys. Yoshi’s Island’s appeal does spread wide, and its a game that once played, goes to show just how masterful Nintendo are when it comes to creating high quality games. Made in 1996, Yoshi’s Island was eagerly awaited and breathed life into the SNES at a time when its appeal was in decline. Don’t just take my word for it, or that of the other brilliant reviews it has received. Now that the SNES no longer lives, at least it can boast to giving us one of the greatest platform games ever made.
Customer Review: A Personal Favourite
This is the game I’ve played most since buying a DS a few months ago. I know it’s a GBA game, but it is better - I suspect - than many games on the DS. It is certainly better than most of the DS games I’ve played so far. Though, in part that may be because I prefer the 2D perspective.
I never realised what I was missing when I just had the GBA and somehow missed this game. But as I never got around to buying the SP version with its backlight it is probably a good thing for my eyesight that I have waited until now to discover this gem.
Do yourself a favour - buy this game. It’s brilliant!
