It has the ability to entertain everyone from my 89 yr old grandmother to my 2 yr old son. There are exercises on the game that can make my husband sweat, there are some that I've been able to keep active with throughout my entire pregnancy (and I'm 8 1/2 mos along right now!, and there are plenty that are simple and fun enough that my son will play daily. My mother-in-law just bought one for the senior home where her mother lives. This is FUN, more affordable than a gym membership, involves the whole family, and is just all around a GREAT deal for the price!

A pleasant way to spend time. As I tell folks, there's nice places that I'd like to settle down in, if two things happened: 1) it was real and 2) those pesky monsters weren't around.

Interesting environment, beautiful graphics, but limit your time so the enjoyment lasts!

I love the Sims 2, so much. I can't believe they have a third one coming out in 2009. I'm stoked :3

I never laughed so hard in my life. The rabbids make crazy sounds as they try to attach you- but what got me was the Rayman character- he fights back with toilet plungers. The plungers are shot out of a gun rapid fire and since it is a wii game, it is interactive: you have to cock and reload every 5 shots. The disk is full of many, many other 'mini games' and bonus rounds. I don't think I will ever get tired of this game. It's as much fun to watch as it is to play.

Games are made to play against others, and this is probably one of the best games that you can do this on. This is the true test to how good of a shooter gamer you are, along with call of duty 4 and others You can have a lot of friends over, connect all ur boxes and play with tearms against one another. With it's variety of weapons and excellent graphics it's just one of the greatest games to play, If you're not much of a versus kind of person you can play the campaign alone or with friends on a good variety of difficulties ranging from 3 y/ old easy all the way to almost impossible. This trilogy of games has not been topped by any game yet when i comes to multiplayer.

“...and how long have they been at this?”

I think 2K should be embarrassed for making such a poor game given the technology available today.
