Dance: UK (PS2)

from: Big Ben

October 03, 2003
I bought this game and it's great fun, however it does seem to me that many songs on the easy levels are extremely difficult! There are a few relatively simple ones such as "Rapper's Delight" and "Pop Musik" but I never will get through "Gotta Get Thru This" and hit all the combos!

I do like many of the songs though, there are a few 70's and 80's songs for old people like me and some new hits too.

I have had trouble saving my high scores on this game, though I'm not 100% sure if it's a flaw with the game or my Playstation.

Dance: UK Wirefree Karaoke Microphone (PS2/PSone)

from: Big Ben

October 03, 2003
I bought this karaoke microphone for my daughter a few days ago for a gift and she loved it. The only problem is that now we never have any peace from her singing. Whats more is that I would like a go of it but she won't let me because she is always using it. It is the best gift that I have ever given her. Another thing is that she no longer complains about being bored all weekend and on school evenings and during the holidays I expect it will be the same. It is certainly worth the money and it provides entertainment for the whole family ( unless one member of the family is hogging it all the time)A truly fantastic thing. I'll have to buy another one for my other daughter's playstation!!!!

Dance: UK 8 Way Dance Mat (PS2/PSone)

from: Big Ben

October 03, 2003
Well where to start...
Well this dancemat isnt very ideal for those pro dancers on the dancing games. Why? Well i found myself getting rather annoyed everytime i moved my feet to the correct arrows, the whole layout of the arrows very much confuse you and its very easy to miss the four arrows you will use during the dancing part because the other arrows are so close to them.

I highly reccomend anyone to buy the stay cool one, its much more like the arcade one. A lot better.

Dance: UK XL Dance Mat (PS2)

from: Big Ben


This was my first dance mat. Stupidly I did not read any reviews about it. I have since discovered that it is only compatible with the game it comes with, and no other games!!!! I have read many many reviews about the Logic 3 Dance Mat and this is suposed to be one of the best soft mats you can get. I will be purchasing the Logic 3 Dance Mat come pay day. very disapointed with the Dance UK XL as the game kept sticking after a couple of rounds (if saved and console turned off) I've had to restart the game and delete my saved game. It may just be a faulty one I have. I will most certainly be buying the Logic 3 and reviewing it soon.

Dance: UK (PSone)

from: Big Ben

October 17, 2003
Because the arrows come in three dimensions, this is the ONLY dance-mat game that doesn't have a horrible learning curve as you figure out which place you're supposed to step both from the direction the arrow it's pointing AND its position on the screen. In Konami's Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), and every other dance game I've seen, you don't have that ammount of intuitiveness. But on the other hand, Dance UK can get way more complex than DDR with its 8-way controller! In the harder levels, you even have to put your hand down in addition to your two feet to tap an arrow sometimes! All the complaints about this game being confusing are unfounded: if you have to step on two arrows at once the arrows are the same colour and occupy the same 3 ... Read More:

Dance: UK Game + 8-Way Dance Mat Bundle (PS2)

from: Big Ben

October 17, 2003
I purchased this dance mat and game seperately but if youre looking into buying a dancing game then i would reccommend buying a pack which has both.

First i will comment on the mat. I currently only have 2 dance mats, this one and the blaze rave station dance mat. I find that most of the materialy type dance mats slip when you are using them which is really annoying as you end up missing the arrows. But for the average dancer it is not worth paying in the region of £40 for a hard dance mat. Also i would imagine that if you are younger than 16 then you probably wont be heavy enough to make the mat slip so this would not be a problem.

A problem i found specific to this dance mat is the 8 arrows. I find that the arrows ... Read More:

Savage Skies (PS2)

from: Big Ben

July 02, 2004
Savage skies is a brilliant game.It has a long life span because there is the primary objective,secondary objective and the secret objecive which is only revealed after the hidden crystal shard has been found.It is also varied because of the different factions you can fight for:Virtwyn(good),Chrysalis(neutral)and Pariah(evil).I haven't given this game a full 5 stars as there is one thing which let it down:Graphics.The graphics aren't the best I've seen but are still good enough to keep it from plumeting to 1 star.The aerial combat is great as you can roll out of the line of fire or loop-de-loop over the enemy's head and destroy them.This game also has a well-written storyline and the movies look stunning.Savage skies also has game modes such as slo-mo,vapirism ...

Soldiers of Anarchy

from: Big Ben

March 04, 2003
This game is fantastic, it uses the same concept as shadow company where you have been "Left for dead" in a bunker for 10 years and finally decide to come out after a massive disaster. The game play is excellent with the only fault being the camera movement which is sometimes jumpy and erratic but after several hours of playing the camera becomes your friend allowing you to view and assess the situation you're about to enter, as it is very important you scout out your objectives as if you go in all guns blazing you will be going home rather earlier than expected. Whittle the enemy down with a vast array of weapons, including RPG's, mines, crossbows, etc. This game keeps you entertained for a very long time and the multiplayer function is excellent too.
