I recommend this game to families with more than one child. There's so much to unlock and so many racetracks to race on. It's a very cute and entertaining game!
What's great about it: Makes a great game for families!
What's not so great: Not fun if played by yourself
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

I love to play this game with my kids. Though I'm not the greatest player, we always have lots of laughter and fun. It's great how you can choose who you want to be. There are a lot of characters and stages you can unlock. There's also adventure mode, which also provides hours of entertainment. Playing by yourself is boring, however. So be sure to have someone to play with.
What's great about it: Stays fun for a really long time
What's not so great: Is boring when playing by yourself

I watched this movie before I read the book and absolutely loved it. It stronglyreminded me of Lord of the Rings. But then I read the book and rewatched the movie. I ended up hating it! First of all, Eragon is supposed to be 15 when he finds Saphira. And the characters didn't look anything like what was described in the book. It was VERY different from the book. It's really disappointing because the book had a lot of potential to being made into a great movie. It seems like they would come out with the next movie, Eldest, but by the looks of it, it's probably not going to be made.
What's great about it: Is exciting
What's not so great: Is way too different from the book
