Customer Review: As Close to Perfect as a Game Can Get
A great game gets even better. Add to it the fact that you can mod-out features many features you don't like with very basic knowledge of XML, and that the developers actually provide C++ source code for the game so that professional programmers can rewrite the game themselves, and you have a recipe for the best. Even my non-gamer friends have fallen in love with it, especially girlfriend types once they realize you can play cooperative team games on a LAN.
One word of warning: this game is hard at first, especially if you have never played anything similar. It does get easier, though.
Customer Review: A major update, could be called Civ 4.5
This is not a mere expansion pack but a major update to a fun but flawed game. It is simply much more polished and better thought out than the original. It also comes with tons of great mods. Overall the value is excellent. My only complaint is that the difficulty level seems to have gone up a notch as well, but maybe I am just not very good at this game.

Bored, bored, bored. That's how young Keith feels about being stranded at the time-worn Mountain View Inn with his parents. Then he meets Ralph, an equally stir-crazy mouse who quickly befriends Keith and begs to ride Keith's toy motorcycle. Soon Ralph masters the tiny two-wheeler and "rrroom-zzzooms" through the hotel hallways, dodging four-legged predators, adults, and the occasional vacuum; he even risks his furry skin to help Keith recover from a high fever. Based on Beverly Cleary's famous children's novel of the same name, this 42-minute video combines live-action talent (including Ray Walston as the wise bellhop) and award-winning stop-motion animation. While the dated look of the TV movie may not appeal to kids who prefer the heart-pumping action of computer-generated favorites such as Small Soldiers, its tame plot and relatively slow pace make The Mouse and the Motorcycle a healthy choice for families with 3- to 7-year-olds. Followed by an even popular sequel, Runaway Ralph. --Liane Thomas
Customer Review: Fantastic for kids -- and probably adults too!
I watched this movie many times as a kid (for some reason, it was on early Saturday mornings a bunch of times), and I *loved* it. I just remembered it now for some reason, and had to look it up! It's a classic, and I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Mouse and the Motorcycle
I saw this movie as a child in the ABC Specials too... now my 7 year old just finished reading the book and when I told him I saw the movie he couldn't wait to see it too! We looked all over for the DVD since I do not own a VCR but we can not find it on DVD anywhere, he was disappointed but i don't want to buy a VCR just for this one movie! If anyone knows if there is a DVD version out there let us know!!!! Please.

Rayman Raving Rabbids brings you back to the world of Rayman, just as it's being threatened by demonic rabbits! With the help of magical creatures, Rayman must battle to save his world from the bunnies. It's a great way for Rayman to punch his way onto a next-gen platforms!
Customer Review: Fun game full of imagination
My kids LOVE this game! It is full of funny little things to do, like shooting toilet plungers, throwing cows and that kind of stuff - who comes up with this stuff (very funny). It is a game that is for any age, the younger ones get a kick out of seeing what they have to do and the older ones have a challenge trying to get through everything. I wasn't sure what I would think of this game but my girls (8 and 14) really enjoy it..
Customer Review: I can't believe how much fun this game is!!!
when the wii first came out, it was awesome, playing wii sports was very fun but, well after a while it gets burried, but then came rayman raving rabbids, it is I think the reason the wii exists, it is crazy as you couldn't imagine, the games make no sense at all!!! it has no logic, what they ask you to do in the minigames is totally "out of order" I mean, "rabbids can't close the bathroom doors" you have to close the doors for them, and the doors just won't stop opening!
I tell you this game is crazy, from beginning to end, you won't regret it

SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition turns you into a citizen, a criminal, an architect, a mayor, even a god -- bringing you deeper into SimLife than ever! As you create railways, ferries, plan out streets, you also get to use that transportation in a series of great new driving missions
Customer Review: Sim City has come a LOOOONG way!
My first SimCity came free with a computer I had purchased in the 90's. It was fun... but WOW! The graphics on this and the options are amazing. My 10 year old loves this game. Some days he builds cities, others he builds islands with volcano's and releases God's fury on them... lightning, eruptions, meteors, robots, dinosaurs... lots of fun!
Customer Review: Simulation for hours and hours
This game has lots of options in order to build a city. It isn't easy though to make it grow as you must keep an eye to the funds available.
It is nice to connect different cities and create a metropolitan area. This takes out the restriction for building large cities.
The rush hour expansion lets you to explore the city at a ground level. This makes perfect sense as it emphasizes on how the transportation system you build for the city affects the traffic and therefore the well-being of the citizens.
This game provides fun for hours and hours as you learn how to balance the sims' satisfaction and the budget.
On the system requirements, it is good to know that the game doesn't demand high specs.
