Imagine Teacher
My older granddaughter loves this game. A ++++ Exactly what she asked for.

bought for 7 yr old niece
My niece wants to be a teacher when she grows up and loves this game !!

A 10 Year Old's Point of View
I do want to be a teacher when I grew up, so I thought I would love this game- and I did!! But farther into the game it gets harder, so be prepared. I do recommend this game to other kids from ages 7-13. I love it! Even my brother who is seven loves it!! People who are training to be a teacher would like it too. Its so cool, its like you are a real teacher to somebody!!

Customer Reviews

stool gets the job done
This drum stool is somewhat small. but not too small for my but. The drum stool gets the job done. It isn't the best stool in the world, but for 30$, you get exactly what you pay for. it looks very professional, and i would suggest this to those that don't have a stool to sit on when playing there favorite music game. Definitely check this out on amazon!

Not bad, but far from good
Rock Throne Drum Stool

For the price I guess it's not bad... I personally would have saved my money and picked up something better. I'm 5' 11" about 163 (Not a big guy) so I thought it wouldn't be a problem for me since I read about the weight issues. But after using it 2 times and the 2nd time for over 3 hours it pretty much gave up on me.

It tends to close out by itself from time to time, it doesn't seem to have enough padding and the hole from the seat to connect to the base is about 1/4 of a inch wider..so there is tons of play and it only gets worse.

Now...if your looking to get a throne for a child as a starter one this would be it. If you are a mid-advance "gaming" drummer... keep looking.

Good for teenagers or kids
I bought this for my children, but I would not trust it with an average adult of 175 or more. I bought a real drum throne for myself, but this one is great for my children.

Customer Reviews

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
This was one of the first games I wanted to buy when I got my 360*,
Well it was and I must say This game is highly disappointing..
They redid a couple levels, added 1 New level to the actual Story line..

This game could have been Soooo much better!!!! Someone really missed to Boat..
The Challenge levels are okay, They usually take a couple of times to do..
But overall this game is far below par.. 3 1/2 stars is almost generous..
My advice is Don't buy, Rent or borrow.. It's not worth even the $20 buck platinum hits price..

Great game!
My 6 year old has been addicted to this series for over a year now. Intuitive game play, puzzles aren't overly complicated, co-op makes it simple to join in, the only thing I could complain about is buying the first edition separately before the release of "The Complete Saga".

GREAT CLEAN FUN
I originally bought this game for my psp which was just the original trilogy (episodes IV, V, VI) and just loved the game to death, so when I got my X-Box 360 I had to get the complete Saga which would allow you to play all 6 movies.

For one to start with this is not one of those bloody gory games that you don't want your kids playing it is very clean and innocent or as my wife puts it "cute". In the game you are playing your way through all 6 movies as Lego characters from the movie unlocking more characters and buying more characters, vehicles, and extras which can make the game lots of fun.

This is not a game that you can play each level just once and be done. You'll find out you'll have to play each level several times as there are certain characters you have to have in order to beat the game in its entirety, so plan on playing the levels quite a few times. This is a game that the whole family can enjoy (2 at a time). So grab yourself a copy and May the force be with you....

Customer Reviews

Great fun!
This is great game, but had problems with the disc and had to return it. The graphics and colors are so real and you feel like you are at a live game. Bought another one and has been working fine. I would recommend this if you are a hockey fan.

Better than I could have imagined, one of the best games I have ever played
I have played and enjoyed most sports games for years now...Madden, MLB, NBA, NHL...but this game is above and beyond that. The graphics, the gameplay, the sounds (eerily good...my wife has repeatedly thought I was watching a game while playing)... this game is the entire package. And the Play As a Pro mode is great fun. The skills and responsibilities change dramatically for different types of players. And the AI keeps things tight.
Seriously, if you are on the fence...just buy it. You'll dig it.

NHL 09 best sports game of the year
NHL 09 is the best sports game on the market right now. Everything they have done with the game from game play to the new dangle stick is amazing. The graphics are great and it is the best hockey game ever made.

Customer Reviews

xbox 360 wireless headset is awesome!
It cant be any better, this thing is the pinnacle of headset technology, no flaws.... does exactly as it says and then some, if I break it ill buy another asap! feb09

Was Good for 6 Months -- RIP in 7 months
After my wired headset broke I bought this wireless Ear Set. As others have said this worked fine. I found it really didn't fit well and always felt like it was ready to slip off, but being I was just using it while sitting in a chair It never really fell off.

After 7 months it just stopped working and would not recharge or turn on. That is when I found out that it has NO serviceable parts, NO changeable battery, No repair center will fix it and only a six month warranty.

It is now $50 of junk. I am now using a high quality wired headset that came with my AT&T Telephone. It works great, sounds great, is more comfortable and you can get them any where for 10 to 20 bucks. I will not buy another expensive headset.

Bit pricey but works and works well
Not surprisingly it's on the spendy side. M$ tends to do that with all Xbox peripherals. IMO it should cost about $35 max. But, it works well. Read the connection instructions and it's not hard too get it up and working. Battery life is pretty good.

I don't know if it reaches the 8 hours it is advertised as but I don't have to recharge it after every session. The ear attachment is different but stays on very well. Sound quality is good too. I've worn it for a couple multi-hour gaming sessions now and it's never become uncomfortable.

Customer Reviews

Fun if you are not looking for too much realism
I bought this game because it is one of the few 1080p games. The graphics in the title screens are great but the game play is no better than a 720p game. otherwise the play is fun and realitively easy. I wish there were a few more secret things in the game but it is ok to waste some time with.

Not a sim but awesome fun
Let me start off by saying that I have not encountered a single glitch, zero, zilch. (Of course, after I print this, it will probably glitch out on me.) That being said, this game is a great basketball game. The first thing you have to take into account is the fact that it isn't a deep sim. If you want that, you probably would be better off buying 2k9.

The gameplay leans more towards arcade style without it being over the top. There is a deep progression system which gives the game a RPG type element. The addition of the downloaded game of the week system adds new content to the game every week during the season which is nice.

There is a lot to do in this game from the Inside story system, to the Franchise mode, to quick play and online. Each area of the game gives you rewards for accomplishing tasks. Also, it includes trophies so you can brag to your friends on how much of a baller you are. Try this game, you may like it.

lacking in many areas but decent overall
this game is lacking in many areas but decent overall.
pros:
many game modes and trophies to earn. so there is quite a bit of replay value
up to 4 ppl on the same console
graphics aint bad

cons:
ai is not that smart
offensive rebounding is a bit unstoppable at times

Customer Reviews

One of the best games ive ever played
This game is very good, it has very good graphics and i myself would recommend getting this game. The ultimate moves are breathtaking and the fighting method is very simple, there are no hard moves and you can maneuver around very good.

The story mode is very good in the game, giant battles, normal battles,etc, it kinda looks just like the naruto series,you can find that on cartoon network or browsing the internet.

When i first played this it was the demo and i thought it was just like ultimate ninja 1,2,and 3, then when i figured out how to do everything i was very amazed at how well the game was made,

and i got the whole game and i started playing it all day and all night trying to get 100% and every once in a while the playstation store gives out the naruto ultimate ninja storm add on pack for free and every time one comes out ill go get it and see what the mission is and the new support character that comes along with it,

me as a naruto fan i challenge myself to see if i have what it takes,simply by putting the com difficulty level at its maximum level, sometimes its very challenging and other times its like they are on normal.

im not gonna make this very long so ill end it here, to any and all who havent played this game, you guys/girls are missing out on some amazing stuff i mean its out in stores even if your not into fighting games i still recommend you buy this game,Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Beleive It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excellent grafics, very good game
my little brother in law loved it. he said is the best naruto game ever.

A good step forward
Lets get this out of the way, Ultimate Ninja Storm is a fun game when it comes to battles. The fights are intense and its always fun to watch the over-the-top jutsu and animations. There isn't much variety in how characters play, but its not a big deal. The graphics are very impressive, and the 25 characters looks just like their anime counter-parts.

There are however a few annoyances in fights. Support characters often get in the way, and cannot be turned off. Also, the escape technique doesn't use much energy, so its very spammable. There isn't much else to do in the game besides fighting. The story mode isn't bad, and players can explore a large recreation of the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, the mission structure is a little weird, and there is a lot of repetition. Also, the loading times could have used a little work. Finally, the game's biggest fault is it's lack of an online mode. Only two people can play on the same system which is a bit boring.

This is a good, fun game that any Naruto fan with a PS3 should purchase. The fighting system is a bit shallow, and the game lacks variety, but it is solid.
