I really enjoy this game and my kids like to play it. Dodgeball with a group of adults is a blast. The downside is that you can get a little dizzy running around the playground.
What's great about it: Variety of Games, Dodgeball is the best.
What's not so great: Causes motion sickness as you run around the playground.

This is a game that kids could play, but it is a little confusing as you keep going left and right looking for chickens. The game becomes boring after a few minutes of playing. My kids do think it is funny to shoot the chickens and how the eggs splat on the screen.
What's great about it: shooting game a kid could play

I bought this game after reading the reviews on the Best Buy website and love it. It has good graphics and is hard to put down. The multiplayer games are awesome. My family and I played it on Easter for hours. In the campaign mode, the characters do use a few inappropriate words, but nothing too bad.
What's great about it: Realistic flight simulator, keeps you playing.
What's not so great: A few inappropriate words for young children.
