Pretty good, not the best
593378
This game is pretty good, but it is certainly not the best it could be. This game has the "Good Things" and the Bad Things."  I'll start with the good.
  The Good Things
1. The graphics are good, but not the best. Some of the boxers are not as muscular as they should be, but the graphics aren't solid like The Legend of Zelda Windwaker.
2. The story is great. It basically follows the Rocky movie series. I do wish you could be boxers like Clubber Lang and Apollo Creed during movie mode.
3. Every button on the left control pad is a punch, and you can use the arrows and the "R1" button to combine with the other buttons to make a stronger or faster punch.
4. The variety of characters is amazing. Once you beat the game, there are many characters, such as Ivan Drago, you can be during exhibition mode. Now for the bad things.
 The Bad Things
1. On movie mode, once you get to a certain point the game becomes virtually impossible. The beginning of the game through the Rocky IV part is no challenge.
2. It is really hard to gain points for strength, speed, stamina etc. unless you use auto train. The only easy one to gain points is for strength. You also lose points when you win a fight.
3. You almost always fight a boxer with points that exceed yours. But for me, stats doesn't really matter, because I kick their butts!
 Those are really the goods and the bads about Rocky. If you are a huge Rocky fan, I definitely reccomend this game. If you are uncertain about the game, like I was, rent it first. Again, this isn't as good as it could be, but overall is a really good game.

This album isn't as immediately appealing or as energetic overall as the three albums that came before this (their best ones). The guitar work is very good, such as on the sparkling "Dosed." "By the Way" is pretty funky, but Keidis quickly wears out the words: "Standing in line to see the show tonight . . ." "Throw Away Your Television" has a great bass line. "Cabron" and, to an extent, "On Mercury" are nice Spanish-flavoured tunes. "Tear" and "Warm Tape" include synth passages (along with other songs) and are 2 of the best in this set. Perhaps the best cut is "Venice Queen," a song that evolves into different song like another album closer, "Transcending" from ONE HOT MINUTE (probably my favorite Chili record).
I don't know, this album just doesn't blow me away like their earlier stuff.  It's often subdued, though somewhat psychedelic, and less funky than what we've come to expect from the Peppers. Maybe we shouldn't hold it against them for doing something somewhat different. They should've found a better album cover though. Uugh.

The Cell isn't Stephen King's best work by any means, but it's still better than most of the other horror books on offer at the moment. There's some really unsettling and scary moments as you would expect, but overall the whole cell-phone thing left me a little cold. King's trademarks are all here though, so it works well, but it feels a little bit "by the numbers". As stated by other reviewers it's an inferior version of The Stand, but that's not such a bad thing because The Stand is a masterpiece that most novels will come up short when compared to. Cell is good though, it's fast paced and never gets dull. In terms of horror and suspense it's the best I've read this year. So if you're a King fan you should enjoy this but not drool over it, whereas if you're new to his work you'll probably love it.

Pretty damn good, not epic, but pretty damn good.

I think the strongest points of this book are the humorous sections, and the weakest are the drama sections.  This is not to say I didn't care about the characters and their sometimes sad, futile work situations.  But, there are some stretches of this book that stretched a little too far and I fell my attention wander a bit.  Good book, but not the best.

Not bad, but not the best. Would buy again however.
Pros: You get Practice Workbooks that are extremely useful. I actually printed a template out online and practiced on that so I wouldn't waste the workbook. Very useful for improving handwriting.
Cons: Not really a complete con, but parts of the book are a bit hard to understand. The wording is a bit "old" and you may get slightly confused. This is not a mistake (they kept the original wording from Spencerian handbooks), so just know to expect it. An example is that when they teach you how to properly hold a pen, it gets slightly confusing. However, there are a lot of resources available online and a quick youtube search answered any problems I encountered.

Conclusion: I would definitely recommend this product. My only recommendation would be to make a digital version (with videos). It would be so useful when demonstrating certain techniques. However, it still gets the job done, my handwriting vastly improved after only about 2 months of regular practice. I still continue to see improvements.

I bought this food processor a few months ago, and while I'm generally satisfied with it, it's not quite as good as I thought it would be.  I don't regret buying it, but I think the reviews are a bit too high.

Pros
-------
Pretty powerful
Made in Europe (i.e., not China :)
Adjustable speed
Bowl doesn't leak liquid, unlike some food-processor bowls
Has quite a few attachments
Attractive

Cons
--------
Unit sometimes shakes
Motor sometimes gives off burning smell
Somewhat loud
Hard to insert metal attachments (for shredding, etc.) on plastic disk
Not always easy to fit plastic bowl on base, and fitting on lid is a bit awkward as well
When shredding/slicing/grating, there seems to be too much space between disk and top of bowl, resulting in a significant amount of unprocessed food
Pulse button is hard to press
Citrus press is a bit too wide for lemons and limes
Have to order extra attachments if you want them
Food pusher has no holes for making mayonnaise
No storage caddy for blades and attachments
Instructions are sketchy, and offer absolutely no recipes
Customer service doesn't seem very good
No longer being made

When I bought this, I didn't realize that Braun has a newer model out with a mini bowl, or else I'd probably have bought that one.  I don't know if it's actually better, though.  But I noticed that it costs less.

Incidentally, I wasn't sure which whether to use the metal blade or the whipping blade when making mayonnaise, but I've been using the latter, which works just fine.

It was pretty fast paced and enjoyable. Overall, though, you could tell where the plot was heading. The final twist at the end wasn't great. It didn't ruin it, but didn't add anything to the novel.

Not too bad, some really good flavors and some not so great.  Seemed like the not so great ones contributed a bit more to the overall weight of the product but it was still pretty good.

Pretty good for the price, next time I'll pay the extra and get the next model up. The base flexed a little to much when in use and consequently the Spaetzle was coming out a little messy.

Not quite 4 stars though close enough I gave it that.  Plenty entertaining, and pretty well done.  Each actor did his part well.  Story was pretty good.  Couldn't quite put my finger on it, but it lacked a little something you kept hoping it would have. Maybe more redemption for Denzel's character.  A better ending would have helped.  The ending seemed rushed, abbreviated like they ran out of time or ideas.

Definitely not the best album Maiden has produced. Not as good as Seventh Son, Piece of Mind or Dance of Death. Fine songs in this album, but then it's all a matter of preference. For me I prefer Maiden's heavier songs and this album is certainly a little too less heavy for me. But not a bad album though, if you like more melody than heavy, and there is some beautiful music in here.

Very good, not great. Could use faster boot up and much better integration with Spotify. Otherwise a solid system.

pretty good.  there are a few songs I don't love.  but overall not bad.  really I want to make the rating 3.5 stars but it won't let me.

I was interested in this coffee maker because I liked the idea of a single cup brewer with no filters, nor a pot to keep clean.  I've been using the Aeropress for over a year, and besides the occasional mess I make with it, it consistently makes a good cup of coffee.

And for the most part, this machine works fine.  It doesn't get as hot as I would like, and the coffee it produces is merely ok.  Not horrible, not great.  Still tweaking the amount of water and grinds, but not sure it's ever going to produce awesome tasting coffee.

It is easy to use and clean - although it annoyingly does continue to dribble after a brew cycle has ended and after you've removed the cup.  But, not a huge deal.

It's a keeper, but just barely.

Not bad, but not great either. Has a bit of a dirt smell, and tea stems are many, but much better than some others on amazon.  It will lose it's color after about 2 steeps.

This is a good album, and it's worth buying, but it's not some of his best tracks.  MacArthur Park and L-Dopa are the best on this album.  If you're a longtime Maynards fan, it's worth checking this out.
