SingStar with 2 Microphones (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Ages 5-8
from: Sony

May 21, 2004
My 9 year old daughter thinks this is the best game ever. I don't know how she knows - she can't get it away from her 16 and 17 year old brothers, not to mention just about everyone else who comes to visit. This really is enormous fun: the adults can compete with the kids, the kids get to sing along with their favourite tunes, and the grown-ups get to be pop stars too!!!

If you ever (I mean EVER) sing in the bath, shower, car or elsewhere, then you will love this!!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Next Generation (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Ages 5-8
from: Electronic Arts

August 23, 2005
I'd read the books and seen the movies, so when I saw that there was video games I thought I would give them a try. Philospher's Stone was the first one I got and I love it, there was so many puzzles and tasks to keep you entertained for hours. All the tasks are taken from certain situations that Harry has to overcome in the books and movies but with a twist, the situations can't always be solved how you know there suppose too. so you do have to use the little grey cells to make it all the way through.

Some people might say its too easy for adults, but some of the puzzles aren't that easy to figure out, and the tasks are all about what you have do do, pick up or achieve to overcome the next task. I would reccommend this game, ... Read More:

Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Ages 5-8
from: Sierra

October 11, 2002
A nice next-gen (well, last gen by now, but never mind) update of the classic Crash Bandicoot series. This instalment is more of the same - cute, brightly coloured, harmless platforming fun. You can pick this game up very cheaply nowadays, and you can't really go wrong.

Pros: Fun for both children and adults, good graphics, large variety of levels.

Cons: Dodgy voice acting (though it is a cartoon I suppose), long loading times.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Ages 5-8
from: Electronic Arts

One thing's for sure you will not get bored because i just finished the game yesterday so it has taken me 4 years to finish.The graphics are not perfect because it is quite old.This game is very addictive and there is a very big area to explore.

The whole story is exactly the same as the book and movie so you know were you are.After the credits at the end you are given the chance to stay in the common room and browse through 'Colin's Photo Album' so you can re-visit levels and collect more witch and wizard cards.

But the down side is that you need to wait a quite a while when the game is loading up and the guy who tells the story is VERY annoying.

But believe me this game can be quite challenging at times but you ... Read More:

Ratchet & Clank

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Ages 5-8
from: Sony

November 08, 2002
Even though I never bought this game off amazon, I bought this game a while ago and there's just one word to describe it - brilliant.

It's like Sony's version of The Legend Of Zelda, only set in the future. At the beginning of the game, clank crash lands on ratchet's home planet, veldin. Ratchet goes to get clank, who's sleeping. As soon as clank wakes up, he shows ratchet an infobot, showing ratchet about an evil plan by Supreme Executive Chairman Drek which is about him destroying all the planets in the solana galaxy. In the game, you explore 19 massive worlds, full of things to do. Mostly in the game, you play as ratchet, but at 2 parts in the game (yes, 2 - isn't enough) you get to play as clank. You get loads of weapons and gadgets, fighting ... Read More:

SpongeBob: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman (PS2)

from: THQ

My son absolutely loves Spongebob so this game was a must. He is only 5 and is still able to do most of it on his own, athough i did have to help on a few bits later in the game.

The game contains all the main characters and is bright and colourful with easy controls. You get to visit all the main parts of Bikini Bottom including Spongebobs house, the Krusty Krab, Jellyfish fields, the Chum Bucket, Sandy's Tree Dome, Goo Lagoon and a few more. You even get to dress Spongebob up as mermaid man which my son really enjoyed.

I have since bought the game for my neice and a friends son and they have all enjoyed it.

Plenty to keep the kids happy as well as the adults too. I think i will buy the next spongebob game when we complete ... Read More:

Scooby Doo and the Night of 100 Frights (PS2)

Luv this game even though i'm a grumpy teen! had this game when i was little but only started to play it now!! It is addictive and has hundreds of levels. I've only just completed it. it is very taxing in some parts (trying to work out what you actually have to do to get to the next level!
You should play this game at least twice (that is if you finally manage to complete it!) coz there are loads of things you may have missed out in the first levels of the game where you need the umbrella to get all the items or somthing like that!

I would recomend this for EVERYONE. The BEST ps2 game I've ever played!

I only wish there were more games like this one! lol! :)

My friend hated it and gave it to me and how happy I was! You can walk all
over. You can walk on the field,in the village and loads more! You can play mini games and do tasks. It's a great game but has some hard parts.
You can go in houses, but some you need to find your way in. You need bones to play mini games. I think you should buy it!!! Hannah 8

im not sure which game the other reviewers were playing cos this game rocks! the characters are well drawn and the animation is just like the cartoon, the moves are tricky but once youve got the hang of them they are easy to perform.
Top Game!
