High School Musical: Sing It! with Microphones (PS2)

Both my kids aged 7 and 10 have enjoyed this one. They have sung to their hearts content, unlocked lots of songs and after 3 months it is still a favourite. I have enjoyed singing along with the kids and would consider buying more singstar games if the choice of songs were suitable.

Dirge Of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Square Enix

November 16, 2006
Dirge of Cerberus is by far and away the worst entry into the final fantasy cannon, let alone the FF7 series. The game is a incredibly lacklustre shooter that would just have been ignored if it wasn't for the words 'Final Fantasy' in the title. The gameplay itself is poor, enemy ai is incredibly basic and it is a incredibly easy game to beat, you don't even have to change your gun much. Its a short game too, it can be beaten in 8-10 hours (if you watch the numerous cutscences). Even though the gameplay is poor the storys good right? Well short answer no. Final fantasy games are known for having epic involving stories, the same can't be said for this game. It follows Vincent Valentine, a secret charachter in the original.

Medal of Honor: Frontline (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Electronic Arts

Oh man this game gives me such a buzz!! It truely is the best game I've ever played. It takes the user right into the thick of 100% pure WWII action. The music is brilliant, the levels are brilliant (with our hero negotiating some of WWII's most notorious battles - D-Day, Market Garden, Nijmegen etc.) and it just makes you wish you were there as part of it all. Some have accused this game of being too linear but the sheer excitement of the gameplay and the plots within the levels (along with the excellently designed UI) more than make up for this.
It's not hard to see why it's one of the best selling computer games of all time.
I've played it waaaaay too much!

Buzz! The Music Quiz (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Sony

October 21, 2005
Bought this for my friend for xmas and we all had the most fun we had had in ages, i wish i owned a ps2 now! Younger kids tend to struggle with it a bit as the new music is quite a large range. There are so many levels, i only wish there was an expansion pack so you can add more songs/questions as i have seen them start to repeat. Well worth the money though.

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

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
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, ... Read More:

Athens 2004

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Sony

We have had hours of fun with this game. And we do not find it boring after some time. We change our nation every time, just to see the weightlifters. A good laugh every time. I have found the solution to the button-bashing. I use a teaspoon, rather than my nails. You can get pretty good speed by running the spoon over the X and O buttons. It also makes it easyer to breathe while swimming. Only the horse-jumping and the hurdles are quite tricky. But you can still get on the podium even if you fail in those events. All and all a good game with pretty good graphics. Only the danish commentator is a bit of a plum!!!

Test Drive Unlimited (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
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 time trying to access ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Castaway (PS2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Electronic Arts

October 26, 2007
This game is a great idea, and it does have some fantastic aspects such as food recipes, harvesting woods and creating clothes and housing items. You can even keep chickens and grow vegetables - although the item limit is rather low especially if you intend to build the mansion.

However there are a LOT of things missing. No kissing, no woohoo, hardly ANY interesting interactions between sims. You can get married but it is difficult and when you look in relationships it still says best friends, not married.

No children and no aging. EA claim that aging cannot be achieved on the PS2. Well they managed to keep growing their hair and beards. Pregnancy, babies and marriage are lacking in this game. Loading times are especially annoying and happen not only when moving ... Read More:
