Great but should be included

I believe it is worthwhile. However, I believe the price is too high. Also, buying the card is a great way to avoid entering credit card information on the console.

What's great about it: Let's you access online features
What's not so great: You have to pay $60 per year for the service

Your life lies in ruin. You watched your family die at the hands of barbarian bandits and everything you ever cared for was lost. The only thing that warms any corner of your heart is the thought of vengeance. You will see those heartless murderers pay. You will restore your family's honor. And you will survive. You are Marius Titus, a young Roman soldier on a perilous campaign to avenge the death of your family and take back Rome's glory from the hands of the northern Barbarians. Dive into the chaos and depravity of the ancient Roman Empire. You are a Son of Rome.Quickly rising through the ranks of the Roman army, you travel to the northern land of Britannia, leading the troops against the barbarian horde — not just for the vengeance of your family, but for the honor of the Empire. Roman warfare is brought to life in visceral detail with the stunning visuals made possible by your Xbox One. Feel the emotion of your enemies as they fall in the intensity of close-quarters Roman combat. Command your troops during massive battles with the voice-recognition technology of your Kinect, which allows you to vocalize commands when your army is in formation and motivational cries to rally the troops. Xbox SmartGlass integration synchs with your location and situation to help you unlock secrets along the way and provide context-sensitive tips and strategies. Transform yourself into a glorious Gladiator and compete side-by-side with your friends in the Coliseum against of horde of ever-changing enemies in online multiplayer that features dynamic environments.

Good game but a little repetitive

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall I feel that this is a fairly solid game. The story seems to stick fairly close to what Rome and the Roman army might have been like. The controls allow for creative take downs. However, after playing through a large portion of the game, I am beginning to get a little bored. It feels like I'm fighting the same enemy over and over again in different settings, and that is all that I am doing.

Not as good as Pulp Fiction, but still very, very good. Torture scene can be hard to take for some people. Many classic lines. Entertaining every time I watch it.

![GoodFellas [DVD] [1990]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3071/3071222_sa.jpg)
The DVD of Goodfellas has got to be one of the very first DVDs ever released by Warner Brothers because they make a critical error in the release. While many films offer widescreen on one side and full screen on the other, this film offers only one version -- a widescreen film broken into two sides. Viewers have to flip the DVD over to watch the second half of the film; 19 chapters are on side A and the last 15 chapters are on side B. Goodfellas is a classic film, and the DVD offers a great video transfer and excellent Dolby Digital 5:1 Surround, but no DVD fan will accept the two-sided format. In terms of extras, there are very few, limited only to theatrical trailers, production notes, and cast bios. For many, this Martin Scorsese classic is a must-have for any collection, but those who can wait for a future, corrected release of this film are better off watching the widescreen VHS tape. Language option in English and French and subtitles in English, French, and Spanish.

This is a great movie. Many classic lines. Extremely violent. I liked it better than the Godfather series of three and Casino, but those movies are also very good.

This is a great movie. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises are also very good, but this one is my favorite of the three. You can easily watch this multiple times and still be entertained.

I enjoyed this movie, but I doubt if I will come back to it again and again. Great revenge film (as you might expect) and lots of blood. I found it very entertaining.

Interesting scenes but hard to follow

Need to have to complete the entire collection. Hard to follow if you haven't read the book. I really like the on screen representation of major happenings from the book, but without reading the book, the plot would be hard to follow and somewhat disconnected.

Raising Arizona - very funny, many classic lines in this movie
Fargo - funny at times, very bloody at times, may not be appropriate for younger audiences
