Another Great Maiden Offering
on August 22, 2014
Posted by: AppleSauer
from Olney, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a classic Maiden show with an insightful documentary plus the old 12 Wasted Years documentary. There are clips from the Somewhere In Time tour in the documentary but not much from it, although they do explain why they didn't do a concert video of it. The setlist for the show is great, you get to hear some songs you don't hear often live or see on most other DVDs. A great purchase.

A Good Controller To Have

from Olney, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's basically the gamepad without the screen. You can kind of think of it as the Nintendo version of the Xbox/Playstation controllers. It's sits comfortably in your hands and works perfectly. The triggers don't respond great for shooters but aren't really a problem for any other type of game.

Your old pal Yoshi is back for more adventure — and he's more prepared than ever for whatever obstacles he encounters. The beloved franchise is making its way to your Nintendo 3DS in this third installment of the fun series, and is sure to bring hours of jumping, pounding, egg-throwing excitement.He may be cute, but he's also powerful. Fun gameplay mechanics from the earlier installments in the franchise are back — Yoshi can still Flutter Jump, Ground Pound and Egg Throw — but there are more abilities under his belt this time around. For example, Yoshi can use the giant-size Mega Eggs to mow down obstacles, reveal hidden doors and destroy pipes and blocks. With your Nintendo 3DS's gyro sensor and binocular ability, it's easy to uncover hidden areas and aim Mega Egg throws just by moving your device around. Get ready to experience a variety of different worlds, each in a unique art style. You'll see worlds in oils, watercolors, crayon and more. A fan favorite for decades, this spunky character is back, and it's your turn to experience the fun.

I picked this up because I really enjoyed playing Yoshi's Story when I was younger, even though I had never played the original Yoshi's Island. It's not really that challenging so it's good for kids but it's that simple Nintendo fun so it can still appeal to adults. The button setup feels a little awkward to me and I don't like how when you aim the eggs it keeps moving up and down rather than letting you just aim but it's not that bad.

Better Than The Original

The original Arkham City was a great game and this is an even better version. It controls exactly the same as the original did on the Xbox 360 except you use the menus on the gamepad without pausing the game. I've heard people complain that the new B.A.T. system which makes fights easier is a detriment, but you never have to use it.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle — not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

I mean, it's Mario Kart - it can't really be a bad game. That being said, there are some changes that, I feel, aren't good ones. The don't really effect game play that much they really just serve as minor annoyances. There's really no reason to skip this game. I will say, though, it's disappointing that all the characters from Mario Kart Wii don't appear in this. And who even plays as the koopalings?
Basically all I said with all that up there is it's not the best Mario Kart, but it's still Mario Kart so it's awesome.

It's Mario Kart so of course it's good. My only grievance is that you need multiple systems to play local multiplayer. I understand that it's a portable game and you can't really have splitscreen but Mario Kart just isn't as fun by yourself. There is online multiplayer, though.

Uninspired, but worth it if you enjoy the original

This game is fun to play as it is pretty much just like the original but that's also probably it's biggest problem. It doesn't really try anything new. They do add Oswald as an AI companion or optional second player, but if you're playing by yourself you'll find the AI often quite frustrating. They also reuse most of the environments which isn't so bad but it'd be nice to see something more. The story really isn't so interesting, it's quite predictable, and feels like some they just came up with something so they could throw another game on the shelf. Also, they changed some things such as the HUD, added spoken dialogue, and changed the cut scenes from hand drawn sequences to look like it does when you're playing. I suppose some people might prefer this but for me it took away much of the charm of the original. The first game felt like something someone really wanted to make and put a lot of effort into; this one feels like it was only made to profit from the success of the first.
