A big step up from last year...

Loaded with new features and boasting a HUGE roster... this one will be sure to please! You can now create your own storylines, play them out, and share them online. You can also share your created superstars online as well, which is a huge bonus for all of us who rely on CAW formulas year after year. The only downside that I've come acrossed is the limit of use with the created superstars in your custom stories (up to 10 scenes & matches a story), but hey, the rest is fun... so that's easily okay to deal with. The Royal Rumble match has been drastically improved to include mini games to eliminate your opponent instead of just knocking them out. This year, Divas and only wrestle Divas and Superstars can only wrestle superstars. It isn't a big blow, because the number of matches the divas can compete in has gone way up in number (gotta love extreme rules!!) all in all, I recomend this game to casual fans and hardcore SvR gamers alike ;)

This speaker is a significant step up from the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/ELAC-Debut-F5-Tower-Speakers-Each/dp/B014GSEPY8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">ELAC - Debut F5 Tower Speakers (Each)</a>. Yes, it's considerably more money, but the performance improvement is dramatic. Better cabinet structure, better quality drivers, better crossover all work to create a dramatically more powerful and more immersive experience. Highly recommended.

I am addicted to this years edition.

Pros: Nice fluid gameplay, New Mode in a revamped Franchise and Superstar merger, Nice Announce team that is way better than ever, Nice Menu Graphics, Just about everything else except for...

Cons: Where's my minor roster edits (change of number, or uniform accessories, stance; not worried bout the ratings then, that's like being a cheater), the eagles, the giants, and the redskins!!!

As of this album, at least one of the singers in this band has finally become a proper diva.  In the good sense!  The lead vocals are consistently very strong (whereas on past albums one can hear the singers still building confidence and finding their way, albeit beautifully), and the wonderful tapdancing etc. energy and background eclecticism are still around as always.  But now the group as a whole, too, has made a transition:  Their songwriting has caught up to, and even surpassed, their emotional presence.  The songs "Cacophony", "Chandelier Lake", and "Falling Without Knowing" are just masterpieces.  Such rich harmonies!

That emotional presence, the star of their prior album Bottoms of Barrels, has suffered a bit--some of the songs on this album trade in the old, romantic earnestness for a sort of disinterested bitchiness that is rather less special.  But this new feeling is delivered playfully enough that it doesn't offend (not this listener, anyway).  In fact in the closing song it's whipped into a crackle of electricity, glorious and brief.

Also, my copy came with a "Shrinky Dink"-type insert as its one-of-a-kind handmade artwork or whatever.  This object is useless and has little to do with the music, but I found it adorable.  :)

Last years version was so bad it's the first SVR I never bought. The limited moves, the horrible controls. I still think the '07 version has the best controls. But let's get to this years, the controls are a little different and take some time to get used to but once you do all is ok. One great thing I noticed right away, much improved load times. They are actually very quick this year which is a huge improvement. The graphics are fantastic. Love all the match types, even the gimmicky inferno match. I think I like that one though just because I was in the crowd live at The Unforgiven PPV they had the first one at. I love the stories Of Road to Wrestlemania mode. I haven't tried career mode yet so I can't comment on it. But another good thing is the amount of wrestlers in this years version. All of the favorites are here although there doesn't seem to be many legends but that's ok. That should be saved for a different game anyways which I think is coming. But I've spent a good amount of time playing and it is a very fun game for sure. Definitely highly recommended.

This album is certainly on par with the previous album from last year.
After buying the first album as a deal of the day, I've listened to it over and over, and got excited when the new album was announced. Needless to say, this album does not disappoint, and I am very pleased with it.

2008, for the most part, has been a rather lackluster year for new music. I could never get into the new records by No Age, Tv on the Radio, Girl Talk, The Dodos, or Foals - most of their compositions consist of noisy chaos with the occasional patch of a discernible melody. I can understand that this is probably their creative goal, yet I'm a music fan who happens to enjoy actual music.

On the other end of the spectrum I found that all the acts I typically enjoy had rather derivative releases this year, including: Snow Patrol, Sigur Ros, Ray Lamontagne, and Death Cab for Cutie.

So it was with great surprise that I beheld the subtle beauty of Micah P. Hinson's "Red Empire Orchestra". Most of the tracks are built around Hinson's acoustic guitar with occasionally subtle, yet always lush orchestration. Standout tracks include: "Sunrise Over Olympus Moons", "I Keep Havin' These Dreams", and "Throw the Stone". Even the brief acoustic banjo romp of "When We Embraced" is a truly grand track.

This year isn't a complete washout, however, and with that in mind here are seven other highly recommended albums that have a sound similar to Micah P. Hinson:

"Shallow Graves" by The Tallest Man on Earth
"April" by Sun Kil Moon
"Langhorne Slim" by Langhorne Slim
"Oh My God, Charlie Darwin" by The Low Anthem
"The Recordings of The Middle East" by The Middle East
"Soft Airplane" by Chad VanGaalen
"Rook" by Shearwater

Overall, this game is a huge improvement from last year's version.  The game play is alot smoother, graphics are very clean and the new arenas are great!! Having said that there are some complaints that I have.  I'm not sure if this is true for other schools, but I've been playing as Kentucky and their entire freshman class is missing from the game.  The create-a-player or player editor is a pain because you have to exit after you save changes for a single player, so to name 12 guys on your team takes about 30 mins.  The crowd chants are really cool and school specific and I like the idea that not every game is a sellout, but teams like the Dukes and UKs draw huge road crowds even if the team is ranked low.  Basically, low ranking for either team involved means very small crowd for the game.  The commentary is pretty smooth, but the sound quality can be scratchy sometimes.  I like the dynasty mode, it's modeled after the football game, but the rankings are a little out of wack.  If don't play the Maui Invitational, your team is dropped way out of the rankings just because a team like Iowa State is 8-0 and you haven't played yet.  The scheduling another problem.  You have to send out letters to schools to ask to play them, a really cool idea, but disappointing when the computer wouldn't let me play Louisville, my archrival.  Overall, the game is fun to play and is much more of a sim than last year.  There is still some room to grow, though.

I previously owned the 605 WiFi and the Vision 3. This is a huge step up. PROS: great sound, excellent video playback, very responsive screen (especially for a resistive touch), G-Sensor and Accelerometer works great, Browser is awesome, games run great, etc. Now I updated to the newest firmware only to find that youtube has not been fixed. But here's the thing...I used a hack to install marketplace and now Youtube works great. Strange?

CONS: proprietary plugs, too many accessories that you have to buy to get full experience, charge time is kind of extreme, does not come with marketplace. it has their own version. gets lots of fingerprints!

They almost messed this one up. they are so close i can taste it. Every year they release a amazing play on paper...but when you use it...you find that certain features may or may not work. or work half a**. This is very close. In october they will be releasing ever better players that include so much more including built in camera :-). It's not bad...i still prefer it over the iPod touch. especially since it will sync with nearly any player. not just itunes. works with Winamp and Windows Media player. Another cool thing is that if you have album art...it will import it. very cool. There are two versions of the Archos 5. one with android and one without. It was definitely a good idea to go WITH android. It's almost impossible to screw up android. Having owned the iPod Touch, iPhone, Archos 605, and more....I can honestly say...this one isn't bad. especially for the price. Wish it had more space though. 16gb isn't enough for me. but hey...it comes with the SD slot too so you can add up to 32gb. awesome!

There are two things that make this a worthwhile upgrade, and there is one disappointment about this game. First, the new tracklist is comprised of some of the biggest songs of the moment and of the year. If you are thinking of just one song from the past year that you absolutely have to have in this game, it's "Blurred Lines", right? Sure enough, they deliver. Tack on hits like Lady Gaga's new single "Applause" and Aguilera's "Feel this Moment" and you're in business. And they don't just include songs of the moment. We also go back to getting classic dance songs like George Michael's "Careless Whisper" and the disco classic "I Will Survive". 50 songs of a nice variety. The second great thing about this year's edition is the online experience that has finally been integrated. You can now share the virtual dance floor with a friend or family member who is halfway across the globe instead of them having to be right next to you. This will make for great bonding for those who aren't fortunate enough to always be next to their near and dear ones.

So what's the disappointment? Um...can we get a little better responsiveness to our movement? I feel like the motion detector is inferior to last year's much more seamless, responsive system. I hope UBI Soft wasn't forced to compromise something like this in order to add new features. I'm a gamer spending good money in a world in which technology is constantly improving -- I don't want to compromise!! The game is still playable and quite enjoyable, but I would love it better (and would give it the full 5 stars) if they correct this for 2015's edition.

Awesome game, one of the best we got over the last year. Plays well with 3-4, or has a mechanic to play 2 person. Many ways to win. This is in our top 5 current rotation with Istanbul, Spendor, and several others. Nice components too.

I'm not sure how it's possible, but I had issues with last year's version of this software and did not like it.  I got this year's (2013) and for some reason, it seems much more seamless and much much better than the previous year's version.  Very clean, easy and straightforward.

So, the 4th season started out going toward flat line. But, those true fans kept with the gang at Seattle Grace and man did things get better fast. By the end of this abbreviated season the heart rate was back up, stronger than ever! The season finally was amazing. More is revealed about our favorite team and you know that year 5 is going to be even better! (And for those of you who haven't been following... it soooo is!)

they're improving them I see, they're thinner than my last set from last year.  I guess this is to be expected, keep cost down,make it cheaper.

The first thing I noticed about 2005 was that the visuals are a whole lot better than 2004. The players and stadiums just catch your eye first thing. The gameplay is a lot different if you ask me (and if you are reading this you did). The thing I didn;t like was that a lot of times the guy I was playing would throw a deep pass into TRIPLE coverage and come away with the ball. This happened way too many times. Running the ball is a definate challenge. there are a lot more user plays. Last year was only user pick but this year there are user tackle for losses and  alot more that I can't think of right now. I haven't started the dynasty mode yet but I can't wait. Overall it's still a great game and a different experience altogether than 2004.
