The reviews below are clearly haters. This is a fun dance song and it shows tyra banks CAN sing, and she is darn good at it. I don't knw why people always want to put others down, especially tyra banks. She isn't just another model with no brain, she is a talented singer/actress, and her talk show is on its second season. This song could never had been a hit because the radio is not playing  r & b type dance songs anymore. If she went with a more smooth r & b sound she would sell millions. I hope she keeps doing music.

This thing is bad a*s.  Don't listen to the other folks crying on here.  Yes it will take some tweaking of the sensitivities to get it how you like it but after that it's great.  I have had zero issues with it.  Everyone giving it a bad review probably doesn't know how to work a computer.  Look on YouTube for setup help.

Alot of people dislike this game, it's graphics aren't the best, and the battle system isn't the best, but I really enjoyed it. I loved the storyline. I thought it was interesting. I had alot of fun playing this game and felt that the reviewers in the gaming magazines weren't exactly fair. Every once and awhile I still read sarcastic comments about Kartia in gaming magazines, although one has to wonder about the opinions of those guys. o. O. If you want to get this game, don't get it with any expectations. Also if you don't like to read, forget it. But if you like good storylines and fun, different gameplay, it's a good choice. But... don't judge it on the first hour of gameplay. ^_^

Don't let the trolls and haters turn you away from this great game. Were the last 10 minutes awesome, no. They may even have been bad, but that in no way ruined my previous 40 hours with this game or the 150+ combined for the series. The entire game is an ending, and most of it was amazing.

I respect what a lot of you "hardcore maggots" are saying, but just realize that you don't speak for every Slipknot fan.  You may not be ready for Slipknot to evolve, but I really didn't want to hear "Slipknot" 4 times in a row.  I will admit, I did however think Volume 3 was overall pretty bad but I think this is definitely a step up from that.  Honestly, this isn't a bad listen.  This album is a roller coaster and has a heck of a build up to start off.  The closer of the album All Hope Is Gone(aka, the title track and the leaked track that hit before psychosocial) would probably be my favorite of the bunch.  It really has the visceral bite that many of the Slipknot songs of days past had.  Overall, I think the album flows together pretty well from track to track.  It's a quality album and I would definitely recommend it.

Now to address what I feel is a sad state of affairs involving not just Slipknot, but the genre of "metal" as a whole.  So many metal heads are just as bad as the teeny boppers that they continue to mock so easily.  Truth be told, they are just as narrow-minded as the teeny boppers.  Try out some other music every now and then.  Allow yourself to hear something else you dumb meathead jocks.  As a musician, I appreciate when a band branches out and tries something different.  Rock and metal are all about being heard and if they make an album that is more accessible, that doesn't make them weak, it means they are doing something that your dumb self didn't think of in the first place and they are branching out their sound so that they can in fact, be heard.

I also laugh when the narrow-minded metal fans get mad about bands not remaining "underground."  Seriously, why would you not want everyone you know to hear about the good music you like?  If you are trying to introduce people into your music and saying you want said band to remain "underground" then you are pretty much a hypocrite.  Want them to remain "underground?"  Keep your mouth shut and don't go see the band live or buy any of their merch.  See how long your "underground" band will remain afloat.  Nuff said.

Alright, the very first thing I'm going to say is this:  those of you who came into this game with a jaded mindset, thinking that it was going to be like all the other Castlevania titles, should really be ashamed of yourselves for giving this game low marks.  Your bad reviews for this game should never be taken into consideration because you let your biased opinions get in the way of your judgment.  Lords of Shadow is NOT like any other Castlevania game, and it must be judged on its own.

Secondly, those of you who give this game sub-par reviews for its lack of originality and "derivative gameplay" should also be chastised severely.  Yes, it borrows from previous titles (God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.), but SO WHAT?  It WORKS.  It's a great game with an awesome storyline...enough said.  The graphics are beautiful, the cutscenes are gorgeous, and you really get the most bang for your buck.  LoS clocks in at between 15 and 20 hours worth of gameplay, and it's enough to actually keep you interested.  Until the day comes when a "new" style of gameplay is introduced, we just have to deal with this type of action-combat-hack n slash format.  So just deal with it, learn to love it, and shut up!

One last comment that I'd like to make about Lords of Shadow refers to the voice acting.  All of the major actors play great roles and read their lines well...BUT, I'm a little annoyed at Patrick Stewart's performance.  His presence in this game was actually the number one reason that caused me to purchase LoS...me being a huge Star Trek: The Next Generation fan and all.  But I must say that Patrick should have read his lines with a little more emotional "oomph" during the opening scroll scenes for the chapters. During those introductory scenes, it just feels as if he falls flat when saying certain lines, with a couple of long and drawn out sections.

Also, my favorite word that I LOVE hearing him say is "artifacts."  Not ONCE did he mention this word in the game!  In the scroll scenes, the word "relic(s)" pops up like 10 or 15 times.  WHY couldn't they have replaced that word with "artifact(s)"?  I was so annoyed by that that I had to write to Patrick Stewart myself and also send a comment about it to Hideo Kojima Productions.  The only time I felt that Patrick really hit his stride was during the very last chapter of the game.  Only then did I hear any REAL performance from him.

So there you have it.  Should you buy it or rent it?  Buy it!  The game has plenty of replay value since you have to complete all the trials if you want to collect some silver trophies.  You will also have to replay some of the levels if you want to find any weapons upgrades.  All in all, the game is great.

For all of you HATERS who are only on this site to bash Michael in light of his recent publicity, you need to follow directions. You are supposed to be REVIEWING the album Invincible, not letting loose your spewing hatred of Michael himself. Especially to you Lloyd Mosaic, you said you only heard parts of the album, (which means you're not even qualified to give a review) yet you gave a three paragraph vent on how much you hate the man. Also said that the people who gave the 'good reviews' were only the die-hard fans. Well, you're wrong because I am not a diehard Michael Jackson fan but I give credit where credit is due and this is a great album, you see, I've listened to the WHOLE album. You are all sad, and I will be praying for you.

Stop with the anti-scalper product reviews. It's really ignorant. If people are dumb enough to pay scalper prices then let them. It has nothing to do with the quality of the product, which is what the reviews section is meant for. Please just stop. Everyone gets it.

The only reason this game has three stars is because everyone is being so critical of the time it took to come out and how little improvement was made. This is a REVIEW of HOW FUN THE GAME IS not how much it improved or how long you had to wait. This is a great game and well worth the money, don't listen to all the negative reviews of people crying.

There comes a time where we all have to be judgemental and not follow a crowd, or not praise or slander something or someone because it's cool to do. For those few people who've been following my reviews, I'm sure I have an idea what you're thinking. You're probably thinking, "What Chandler?! You gave Wayne 8 out of 10 stars? You must be on that down south type ****." Or could it be "What? 8 out of 10 stars? No way Chandler! I stuck by your reviews for so long, and this is how you repay me??? You gave Masta Ace, and Immortal Technique 8 stars. Is Lil' Wayne just as good as them?" Whatever reason you're thinking why I didn't give Wayne a low score, because he's overrated and proclaims himself as "The Best Rapper Alive", I have a few words for you: Get a life! Just like EJ Rupert said in his review, is it cool to listen to underground and mainstream artists, without slamming one or the other? (this goes for half of you people who are on those Amazon threads as well)

Well, as for Lil' Wayne himself, he hits what he proclaims as a "3 Peat" with his third follow up in "Tha Carter" trilogy. I admit, he has stepped is game up since back in '04 when he came out with&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tha-Carter-1/dp/B00027JYPI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tha Carter 1</a>, which was mediocre (admit it, you only liked it because it was the cool thing to do). But in late '05/early '06 he came much harder on&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tha-Carter-II/dp/B000BLI4UG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tha Carter II</a>. So can Wayne live up to the hype that he has been swimming in for the past year. When you hear how he rips on "Mr. Carter" featuring Jay-Z, the answer is apparently "yes". No matter how you match him up with the beats, he'll put them to good use. Just check out "A Milli" on how he handles it (and thank you every rapper popular and non-popular for freestyling that beat into the ground). "Dr. Carter" has a good concept as Wayne plays a doctor to rappers who are not good. Further down the album is the great and deep song "Tie My Hands" featuring Robin Thike. And then is the hilarious "La La" with Busta Rhymes and Brisco.

Songs that I don't like in particular is the second single "Ms. Officer" (that song get mass amount of airplay, and that "weedle weedle weedle" sound is VERY annoying). Some songs just don't make sense, such as "P***y Monster" and "Phone Home" (trying to be E.T. there huh?)

Overall, a great album. Wayne has hit a high mark in his career. Is he the best rapper alive? No, but he getting up there with everybody else. Which brings me to another thing: Record sales do not determine how great a rapper's skills are. Just becaue Wayne sold "A Milli" in a week, does no make this album the best ever made. Many albums have leaps and bounds over this and barely hit platnum (ex: Nas'&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Illmatic/dp/B0000029GA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Illmatic</a>&nbsp;was relesed in 1994, but didn't go gold until '96 and platnum until 2001). Lil' Wayne may have done his job as an artist with an excellent album. Just like The Rolling Stone Magazine said in their review "Believe The Hype" (and gave this 4 1/2 stars). For me, it's 8 out of 10 in my opinion. Peace.

This is a spectacular album, IF you like Rammstein in the first place, they've expanded their sound (just look at Nebel and Mein Hertz Brennt) and gotten more melodic (Spieluhr).  I just need to say that half the reviewers here are morons: like the guy who claims to be from Germany but signs his review "Danke Chen"...uh huh...a german who can't spell German. And "Zwitter" being the noise that the birds make? Uhm...No, no that's not it either...

^ ignore this guy. I also own a PS4 but don't feel the need to write a bad review simply out of bias.  All it does is possibly repel people from buying this awesome game. In turn, this hurts the developers sales. Developers making money leads to more games. We all benefit from that.

really, i see two bad reviews of this fantastic cd, and it pains me to say that some don't like (in my opinion), one of the best bands of all time.  i think somebody was just trying to bring the average rating down to anger us all, poor poor souls.  just admit that it was one of the greatest albums of all time.

Do not listen to the haters.  This game is a lot of fun.  It is one of a handful of games, on the PS2, that I come back to time and time again.  Unlike many games of its nature, it is not a copycat of the film it is named after.  It takes some core elements of the film, but then combines them in a novel way.  With this being said, while the reapers do appear in the game, they remain a minor element throughout.  Vampires are the main focus of this game.  There are certain limitations, such as having to earn your sword and choose only a certain number of trademark Blade weapons and items, which turn off some players, but they did not bother me all too much.  Admittedly, you will have to do more fighting with your fists than anything which can get a little repetitive, however, I did not think it was too bad myself.  Plus, it is cool because there are no complex combos to memorize and have to remember during the heat of battle.  All you have to do is use the analog sticks rhythmically and remember to block.  And, this by no means means that it is easy, it can be quite challenging, at times, especially when there are hordes of enemies.  It is not not the most challenging game ever made, though it is not easy by any stretch of the imagination.  Also, I would also warn that the game is rated "M" for good reason, so keep that in mind if you are buying it for a child.  All and all, it is an awesome game and I highly recommend it.

P.S. To those who hated this game, are you sure you played the same game?  Because I have no idea what you are talking about.

Don't listen to People saying that wow is better or that it's a bad product because you need to play the base game this is only a add on/expansion not a full game so if your buying this thinking its a game stop right now but its better then wow in my view

More often than not I read reviews or hear talk that this album a "downer".
If you think that is the case then you're probably not listening to it in the right context.
If by the end of this album you're not inspired to be a better you, then listen more closely.

On a side note, I somehow got a limited edition copy of this album which was completely unexpected.
So that was cool. Shipping time was much faster than anticipated, even with delays. Completely satisfied.
