if you like playing games like pac man and other old classics that used to be in araces from that era, you will enjoy this game. i do think that pac-man and the rest are a little outdated but it does bring back memories for those who used to blow money in the arcades, a nice step back into time.
What's great about it: classics like pac-man
What's not so great: a little old and has been recreated a hundred times already

this game is fun and you can unlock other characters with different abilities to play through a level with after you "unlock" it for free play. the benefit to using other characters to go through a stage is they can access areas other characters can not.
the game is fun to play, even if you are not a star wars fan. it is similar to hack and slash games but set in a lego world with lego people. as a kid i liked legos and liked building stuff which also adds to the fun factor. it is a really great game and to be honest, probably one of the most fun games on ds.

the review that stated all you do it water plants has almost hit the nail on the head. the game is very disappointing and you do not get to play as the animals as the name suggests, you can interact with them somewhat but it isnt anything major. the game is not very fun and it is really repatative. i would recommend the game for kids to young to understand a complex game or as a first game, but for anyone who is looking for an action packed game or a neat way to play with animals you would be better to get teh ds version of viva pinata.

need for speed used to be a great game franchise but since the underground series the game has forgotten what was cool and have cut out alot of customization features out of even thier console games. this game is better than the prostreet nfs game. this game isnt very much fun and they have added another lame story to the series and there are not a whole lot of options for your car. very disapointing. if you are looking for a racign game for ds i would recommend grid, it is a really good racing game.

if you grew up with the sim city franchise and enjoyed it you will like this game. the goal of the game is you are the mayor of a city starting out, you have to develop the city with residential, commercial and industrial zones, you also have to provide transportation systems, water lines, electric lines to provide your city with water, power and ways to travel back an fourth. as simple as it sounds it does require some thought in how to develope a prosperous city and also to what ratio to build the different zones in (ie too many houses and not enough work is bad) the game is fun if you enjoy building simulations and can be very challengind, i have alsways enjoyed the sim city franchise and it is still fun to toy with after all the years it has been around.
What's great about it: build your own city

call of duty is an awsome FPS game that requires strategy and skill yet is really addictive and fun. call of duty is the best first person shooter franchise on the market. yea, better than HALO becuase the enemies dont run away from you or sound like little munchkins saying "hes here" "oh no, run". the game really brings realism to war and and does a pretty good job for a handheld system, definatly worth buying and it will keep you playing over and over again, even after you conquer it.
What's great about it: CALL OF DUTY
What's not so great: not a thing when you cant play on your home console

SynopsisSure, you think you know more than some kid in elementary school. After all, you've been there and done that. You might even have aced your subjects growing up. But how much do you still remember? Whether you've been out of elementary school for only a few years or quite a bit longer, the TV game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? tests your recall of facts you may not even have thought about since you were 10 years old. Now, in this fast-paced game based on the hit show, you can prove once and for all that you're older and wiser ~ or that you never should have gotten past 5th grade in the first place.Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?: Make the Grade is the exciting sequel to the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? video game, presenting you with an array of new and challenging questions. Every question comes from the grade school curriculum, so by all rights you should be able to ace them all ~ providing you actually retained all that elementary school-level learning. Answer any of more than 3,000 questions in 23 grade school-appropriate subjects and see if you have what it takes to triumph in a challenging game where the answers are all too elementary.

if you like the tv show you will like the game, it is set up the same way. also the game is relativly short which makes sence considering the tv show is 30 minutes long. it makes it easy to pick up and play, also the questions can really rattle your brain. some questions are really easy and some can be really tricky. it is a good game and a good fast way to possibly learn some small trivia. it is a game that can last as little as 10 minutes which makes it convinient to play if you are limited on time and can breeze through the questions. overall a great port if you like this type of game.

this game should have been worked on more for the handheld version before release. teh controls make the game almost impossible to play, but take away from the enjoyment of the game. i personally wasnt a fan of the xbox or playstation version of 2009, but this version makes those look absolutly perfect. my opinion is to pass this game up or borrow it..if you have to buy it get it used so you can return it when you find out what everyone else has said about it.

this game reminded me a bit of super mario RPG but not nearly as good. i was getting so tired of seeing sonic games, a franchise that needed to quit a long time ago but still found money to keep making poor games. this sonic game still is not great but it is a better improvement over past games. they made it into an rpg type game, so if you like rpg games along the lines of super mario brothers rpg you will like this game. you get items and you get to level up of course, the game however is controlled with the stylus for movement and it isnt a fast pased speed through rings type sonic game. it is a good twist on a dying franchise to help stabalize sonic for a few more horrible sequels.
the game is fun to play, easy to learn, and is RPG based which makes it easy to pick up and play, and easy to master. there is however alot of dialogue in the game so if you are buying it for a child who can not read, they will need assistance playing (but hey, dont let that deter you, i learned to read playing final fantasy 1 and used words in school my teacher didnt think i could possibly know, and i could spell most of them, even words like scientific, battle axe, traditional ect.) rpg games are a great way to learn spelling and reading if you have a child that can grasp on to concepts at an early age, atleast in my opinion.
anyhow, this is a descent sonic game that may keep you playing till the end with its new rpg elements and lack of redundant levels that resemble a pinball machine make it worth playing.

chrono trigger if you were not around for the snes era, is a classic rpg game where you play chrono, the hero of the game and travel back in forth between time, meeting new team mates, trying to prevent the world from being detroyed from lavos. the game has plenty of armor, items and weopons along with some great characters and NEW cutscnenes not in the origional game. The game also features multiple endings depending on how you play the game, actions you take and when you choose to fight the main boss. for its time the graphics were great, even in the snes era. it is a direct port with some new cutscenes and an option for a new DS style instead of the classic style i am used to seeing. the game brings back fond memories and is still a great rpg to play. in my opinion it is one of the top 10 games of all time and worth purchasing.
also new to ds cartriges, this game is one of the first to feature anti-copyright protection, meaning it locks up on the screen when you go through the time portal the first time (lucas invention) if you downloaded the game.
overall squaresoft/squareenix has always been one my all time favorite game producers due to their great storylines, inventive characters, imaginative enemies and rememorabel classics that todays games dont come close to anymore. it is a great game and is worth purchasing brand new.

My L and R buttons have stop working. Can bestbuy fix my ds lite and how much will it cost?
here is a link that tells how to fix them and what you will need, also if you call some game stores they may be able to repair them or maybe even bestbuy geeksquad can repair them for you, you would need to call the stores for pricing information though, hope this helps.

In this Sunday's paper , I looked in the Best Buy magazine and it said that you can trade in your ds lite for a dsi xl. Do I still have to pay money?
How much if I do? It said to go to www.bestbuy.com/gametradein but it never said anything about trading it in for a dsi xl.
best buy accepts trades on older electronics. the prices they give you are not that great. you will need to enter the information on the website to get a price, i assure you it wont be that much.

ps3 price cut
is there going to be any kind of bundle or price cut coming this year that is less than $400?
as much as romors point to a price cut i highly doubt it will happen, especially since they have had rumors of a price cut for as long as i can remember. also since the whole activision threatening to pull out and the ceo of sony basically stating "how logical is it to lose money on every system sold" a price cut isnt happening any time soon.
if it makes the purchase any easier, when you consider an xbox 360 with a harddrive for 300, a wireless adapter for 99, and a charge kit for the controller for 20 and 60 for an xbox live membership...you are already looking at more than a ps3, and you get blue ray as well, which i dont really care about blue ray. also if you are willing to pay $40 as a one time fee, there is a download where you can do netflix on ps3 along with a few other movie sites. it is called play on and i personally use it and it was worth it.
sorry to say that a price cut isnt coming anytime soon, though i agree it would be nice, then i would buy a second ps3, but i highly doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Call of Duty 3 ?
I am looking for a wwii era war/first person shooter game this looks to be the best(Besides battlefield 1943) is it ? (I am really clueless)
call of duty world at war is a WW era game, it features countries like the US/japan (which you play the us), and russian/germain (which you play russia) campains. the online multiplayer is great. i havent played 1943 yet, so i wouldnt know what it is like though i know it is multiplayer only.
hope this answers your questions, and if you decide to purchase this game, look forward to seeing you on the field.

Play Station Store ?
I am looking in to getting a PS3, what is play station store and how does it work? (how do i put in money?)
the playstation store is where you can purchase themes, games, add-on content, rent/purchase movies and watch videos/tv shows. you have to either purchase a playstation network card in various amounts, or use a credit/debit card to add funds. you get the option to add funds when you add something to your cart and confirm the check out, then it will ask you to add funds.

at this time i dont think best buy has started to sell used games yet. i know they have kiosk's in dallas and austin that purchase used games. it is something recent to my knowledge, and i work in bestbuys call center, so far there is no word on when they will sell the games to customers..or exactly what they are doing with the games so far for that matter. granted i am no one big in the company but asking around no one has heard anything as of yet.

corrupted data
my ps3 says the data is corrupted what can i do to fix it? i start games then they freeze help!!!
it sounds like you have either downloaded a bad file, turned the game off when it was saving, or got a virus from browsing the internet. my suggestion would be to wipe the hard drive and start over. Simply remove the hard drive from your PS3, and turn on the console. It should display a screen saying the hard drive will need to be reformatted. Then, plug the hard drive back into your PS3, and allow it to reformat. Your save game data will be erased but the system should work again, also here is a link to the same solution but worded differently. http://www.xomba.com/ps3_help_froze_up_ps3_hard_drive_reformat

In-camera cropping and rechargeable batteries?
I want to buy a digital camera $200 or less. it needs to have in-camera cropping and more than 7 megapixels. aslo, i would prefer for it to be 4x or more optical zoom and can record sound. i know its kind of specific, sorry about that
you are lucky. the perfect camera that fits that description is 1) commonly found in all best buy stores, 2) the highest rated camera on our website and highly rated on sites like cnet, and other sites. i did about 5 months of reasearch to find the perfect camera for my fiance, but i cant afford the price of a tv or car for a camera. the item i came up with is a canon PowerShot 10.0-Megapixel Digital ELPH Camera - Silver . the sku number for the item is 8800577. if you place those numbers in the search for box in bestbuys website it will take you straight to the item.
i personally bought this camera after researching and also wrote a review on it as well, it should be on the site under the item with in 72 hours. it is perfect for the price (200). you wont regret it and it has all the features you are looking for.
