Rugby 08 (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Electronic Arts

July 25, 2007
Like another reviewer that can't get this to run on their quad core machine, I cannot get this to run on a Nvidia SLI based machine.
I have spent hours going through the EA helpdesks suggestions to get this to work, but basically it hasn't been tested on SLI and just crashes on start-up.

Bottom line, if you have a high spec machine that Rugby 08 should look wonderful on, you won't even see the splash screen.

Test Drive Unlimited (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Atari

March 16, 2007
Just arrived at the airport, go buy a car and a house to put it in with the cash in your pocket. Next, drive about Oahu searching for races. Earn more cash, buy more cars and buy biggers houses. And thats it.

You can drive around aimlessly or use the GPS to guide you. The races themselves are standard affair, time trials, one on one, 4 in a race etc. and they are easy to find and access. Graphics are good, not great but there is a distinct lack of atmosphere.

The problem with the game is the sandbox style itself. Its nice to drive around and visit Pearl Harbor and stuff but then you realise that you spend as much time driving around as you racing. Then you find that you have to drive to events miles apart and you spend more ... Read More:

SingStar '90s - Solus (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Sony

August 03, 2007
i was shocked and excited when i found out there was a new singstar game coming out. when i read the tracklisting i thought great, some good songs but theres some of them i've never heard of. you'd think with all the acts - such as take that, boyzone, a1 and others they'd be on here than the less heard of ones. also, the artists i've heard of such as savage garden, they'd put one of their famous songs on it that you all know (such as to the moon and back/truly madly deeply). overall i'm getting it and you never know i might like the unknown artists on it.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Solus (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Activision

June 27, 2008
GOOD
*More great guitar hero fun!
*I love aerosmith so hence I love the songs
*I've found this game slightly easier than guitar hero 3 which was a little too difficult
*Career mode consists of 31 songs and an additional 10 songs are unlockable

BAD
*Only 20 or so of the songs are actually by Aerosmith
*No new multiplayer options
*Only half the amount of songs as guitar hero 3, and yet the game is the same price
*What if you don't like Aerosmith? - you might not like it

The Sims 2: Pets (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Electronic Arts

October 20, 2006
I had been looking for this game for ages and when I finally bought it, at first i was confused and fustrated with having to look after my pets and also my sim. But i soon caught on and now i can play it for hours.

Not much is different from The Sims 2, except some items of clothing, hairstyles and so home materials and of course not forgetting the addition of a furry friend to your home.

You can choose from many breeds of cats and dogs and even get mixed breeds through randomize or through breeding ( you can not breed a cat with a dog of course ), you can even give your pet a jacket, shoes and a hat or glasses (much like those annoying few who actually do dress up their animals). Fur colours such as blue, green,pink ect are also on this game, ... Read More:

Formula One 2006 (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Sony

January 12, 2007
After the start of the 2008 Formula One season, i felt a need to find this game of my shelf and stick it back in the old PS2.

I immediately started a new career, on hard difficulty, and got myself a first driver slot at Torro Rosso.

So I head to Bahrain, and manage to find a perfect set up for the car, and qualify first in Q1, Q2. So heading into Q3, i choose my strategy (doing half race distance), and i choose to stop just shy of half distance. I trhought that i could maybe sneak it on to the front 2/3 rows. Oh no, despite choosing, 14 laps of fuel, it decides to give me 26, so i become ridiculously slow.

I then get to the race, and i am first by the second corner after starting 10th, yes thats really realistic. I soon get passed though, ... Read More:

Ratchet & Clank 2: Locked & Loaded (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Sony

November 21, 2003
I read the reviews on this game, I bought this game, and for some reason I just didn't enjoy it. I can see why people like this game but for me it's certainly no Crash Bandicoot and I found it a waste of money. Not as good as the competition, granted it has very good graphics, but this could have been a lot better. A disappointment.

Final Fantasy X (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Sony

May 02, 2003
I've had final fantasy X a fair few years now, I have a next gen console and have played a hell of alot of RPGs. To this day I can honestly say, final fantasy X is the greatest game I have ever played.

I could ramble on for pages as to the specific reasons I adore this game, but I think the focus of a game like this is its narrative. This is why I named this review, 'beautiful', not for some corny over the top way of expressing how much I enjoyed it, bit because there is no other way to explain the story. It's astoundingly written and is by far the most emotional I have ever experienced, and thats including ff7s death of Aeris, which I think pales in comparison to the love story here.

Even if your not a romantic, i'm not, somehow this story will move you. The ... Read More:

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Party Edition (includes Buzz! Buzzers) (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 2
from: Eidos

November 24, 2006
This is adequately enjoyable take on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", however, it is basically the old playstation game but with more character, more colour and of course Buzz! buzzers.

This will keep you entertained for quite a while particularly if there are three or more people playing competetively but the games are all very similar and the questions quite hard. Often when all the players are unwilling to buzz in and get the question wrong, they all end up sitting and waiting for the time to run out which as you can imagine gets very tedious.

The characters are amusing for a while but you will quickly find their stereotypical catchphrases getting on your nerves and will most likely begin playing with the sound off.

Overall, this can be good fun in a group situation ... Read More:
