Love this game. Ignore the negative reviews, and play the game to get your opinion first. People keep complaining about toddlers, and pools which has been known for awhile. The create a sim feature is awesome, and the emotions are great in the game. Building mode is better than ever, and very easy so I don't spend hours building my house like normal. People must forget sometimes that The Sims 3 had over 80 missing features from The Sims 2 also plus it is the BASE GAME. Is it my favorite in the series, no but it is way better then The Sims 3! It runs smoothly, and The Sims aren't robots. Hope everyone gives the game a try :)

This game is deffinatly NOT an expansion disk, but rather a fully revamped game with a whole new library of songs. It looks like a blast to play and i will be picking one up as soon as it comes out.

I got this as a b-day/Christmas gift.  I usually play for less than a hour at a time, but oh, what fun!  There are only 6 games here--Asteroids, Centipede, Pong, Missile Command, Super Breakout, and Tempest--and they play in both retro and enhanced versions.  And once installed, you don't need the CD to play it, because it stays on your hard drive!  I just wish it had more games!

AN OBSERVATION OF NOTE:  In Asteroids and Centipede, sometimes when the UFO's or Spider appear, the sound suddenly gets twice as loud, and doesn't stop until either you shoot the thing or it fades of screen.  If I vaguely remember right (It's been what, uh, 20-25 years?!!), I think this unintentional error was in the original stand-up arcade machines themselves, and yet it's "captured" here on this CD!  (Again, I assume unintentional.)  Don't let this "effect" throw you off.  You may want to turn down the volume when playing these two games, especially if you're sensitive to such changes in sound.  Have fun!

I love to play this game! I first played it at a friends house and loved it! It instantly went on my wishlist but I didn't get it for a while as it was back ordered everywhere I looked. I am so happy I have my own now. you don't need to be an artist to play that makes it even more fun. I will say that the makers have already started to give out and are very cheap but I bought some small dry erase markers with erasers on the cap to replace the ones that have dried out and they are fought over when this game comes out. Overall I would highly recommend this game to anyone who can get 8 people together for some fun but buy better markers for it.

A few years ago, I had lots of fun as one of the first testers for this game. This is what I wrote back then:
"So
I had the privilege to play a short test run of this game. Without spoilers, this is what I think:

a. Do you know the feeling when something hits all the right spots, and you got this light in your eyes which tells you  I have to watch this movie/play the game? This game does this. As I saw the character sheet and got the idea of the mechanics, all I could think of is I want to create a character and play it!.

b. The mechanics. Simple, elegant and promote the game easily and consistently with the core principles of the world. There were a few minor glitches here and there, but this is what the alpha is for, right?

c. The world. Being one of the players of the first campaign of City of Myst, almost 10 years ago, I missed this world very much. Even without the power of nostalgia, this setting is great for varied levels of super heroes campaign  from your street-level dude, to a much larger scale (believe me  it can get crazy).
In addition, the atmosphere is very film-noir-ish with a tinge of mystic. I love this.

All in all  had a great time, and looking forward to play again. Try it!"

What can I say? Waiting was worth it. The design of the book itself is amazig. The urge to pick up a few random people and start playing is just so much higher.
I did not finish reading the entire (500 pages!) book yet, but as far as I can see, the glitches from the early versions are gone. Instead of those you get a rich explanations and tips of how to play the game, and how to design and create the campaign.
All in all, can't wait to get the physical copy of the book and start solving some mysteries! (or mist-eries?).

I absolutely adore this game. Think Fun has the right idea here! I could seriously see this game in schools and in the homes of everyone with children. I think this is a fun way to teach your children about music. The hands-on approach, combined with technology really keeps the child's attention. It's a game that the entire family will enjoy together.

What a fun game!  We had a blast trying it out for the first, and then several additional evenings of uproarious fun. Go and buy it and have a grand and profane time

If you haven't played ... then you're missing out!  You'll either love it or hate it - but it's one of a kind!

This game had a long a complicated development cycle, but it's finally here! I had some misgivings at first, but this game is sheer joy! It's cheesy, brutal, rough around the edges, but it's FUN! It's a LOT of fun. In a sea of buggy "AAA" releases that fail to live up to the hype, this is either a breath of fresh air or a nice return to how good games used to be.

I'd compare it to eating a tasty steak sandwich in a slightly run down bar while enjoying a cold beer with a good friend, and playing pool afterwards, while a favorite song of yours plays on the jukebox. It just hits the right tone.

If that sounds appealing to you, give this game a look. VERY underrated!

This version of Guitar Hero is better than any other out there.  You feel more like you are actually playing the music than just playing a game and there are so many more notes to hit that its a lot more fun!  Plus, the music is awesome and the graphics are amazing!  I lost my first disc and could not wait to replace it and play again!  Wish Metallica would come out with a second one as I would wait in line for it!

Loved it when I first played the game, and I love listening to it now. It is very good music to work to :D

Setup time is kind of annoying but once you start playing it's tons of fun!

A new take on an old game.  The packaging is what is most impressive, how this big game fits in this little package.  It is easy to play IF you read the instructions first so you see how the first pieces need to be played in order to for a playing base.  No batteries, all ages, fast learning curve.  Can be lots of fun for a group as everyone plays and it moves along quickly.  We never keep score, just enjoy the game.

You need to change the options before you play it. I did it by trial and error and it worked fine.
