this is a good game if you like the crossword puzzle books you can buy, very good if you work an office job that gets boring and need to pass time. it is quick to pick up and play and simple to learn. great, and electronic version of the puzzle books we have all had at one point and time.

You faced down a pit of snakes in pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant. You rode along on the insane mine car chase to recover the magical stones. You were there with him every step of the way, including that one terrifying step into the void of the canyon, as he sought the Holy Grail. Now Indiana Jones is preparing for his greatest adventure yet — one that involves everything you've known and loved about Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The only difference is that Indy's gone LEGO.LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures combines all the action and excitement of the Indiana Jones series with the quirky fun and creativity of LEGO. Join Indy as he pursues whip-cracking adventures across the globe, from the mountains of India to the jungles of South America. Relive some of your favorite moments from the films, including the heart-pounding boulder run that started it all. Immerse yourself in fully-realized LEGO environments as you swim through dangerous currents, climb sheer precipices and shimmy across rock ledges. Repel your enemies with whatever weapons you can find close at hand, including chairs, guns and bottles. And just like real LEGOs, you can mix and match characters' body parts for new dimensions of fun — just imagine the creative possibilities of characters such as Sallah Scott and Mola Round. With LEGO Indiana Jones, you're in for a thrill ride like you've never imagined — hold onto your hat.

if you liked lego starwars you will like this game as well, it is a great fun game that can be quite a time killer. it is a great game and keeps you playing till the end, also the stages are fun and the graphics are great, reminds me of my imagination as a child playing with my legos. very nice and even though it is legos adults can have fun with it is well.
just like starwars, this is one of the best ds games so far.

if you like playing games like pac man and other old classics that used to be in araces from that era, you will enjoy this game. i do think that pac-man and the rest are a little outdated but it does bring back memories for those who used to blow money in the arcades, a nice step back into time.
What's great about it: classics like pac-man
What's not so great: a little old and has been recreated a hundred times already

great game

from joplin, mo
this game is fun and you can unlock other characters with different abilities to play through a level with after you "unlock" it for free play. the benefit to using other characters to go through a stage is they can access areas other characters can not.
the game is fun to play, even if you are not a star wars fan. it is similar to hack and slash games but set in a lego world with lego people. as a kid i liked legos and liked building stuff which also adds to the fun factor. it is a really great game and to be honest, probably one of the most fun games on ds.

good puzzles
on May 24, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this game is good, the story line is kind of cheesey but it isnt about the story, it is about the puzzles. they are alot of puzzles throughout the game, once you complete a puzzle you are able to do the puzzle at anytime through the main menu. you can also get hints for difficult puzzles but if you really get stuck i suggest searching for faqs online for the game. (faqs are another name for walkthroughs, only they are written and submitted by normal gamers). the game is not for small children though becuase in order to advance through the game you HAVE to complete the puzzles. it would be a good game if an adult was wanting to do something with their child and is able to help them.
this game is fun and can be challenging to players which makes it a good game to play, and after you unlock the puzzles you can play them or have friends play them and see who can complete them the fastest.

very poor game

from joplin, mo
the review that stated all you do it water plants has almost hit the nail on the head. the game is very disappointing and you do not get to play as the animals as the name suggests, you can interact with them somewhat but it isnt anything major. the game is not very fun and it is really repatative. i would recommend the game for kids to young to understand a complex game or as a first game, but for anyone who is looking for an action packed game or a neat way to play with animals you would be better to get teh ds version of viva pinata.

from joplin, mo
need for speed used to be a great game franchise but since the underground series the game has forgotten what was cool and have cut out alot of customization features out of even thier console games. this game is better than the prostreet nfs game. this game isnt very much fun and they have added another lame story to the series and there are not a whole lot of options for your car. very disapointing. if you are looking for a racign game for ds i would recommend grid, it is a really good racing game.

good port of classic city building fun
on May 23, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
if you grew up with the sim city franchise and enjoyed it you will like this game. the goal of the game is you are the mayor of a city starting out, you have to develop the city with residential, commercial and industrial zones, you also have to provide transportation systems, water lines, electric lines to provide your city with water, power and ways to travel back an fourth. as simple as it sounds it does require some thought in how to develope a prosperous city and also to what ratio to build the different zones in (ie too many houses and not enough work is bad) the game is fun if you enjoy building simulations and can be very challengind, i have alsways enjoyed the sim city franchise and it is still fun to toy with after all the years it has been around.
What's great about it: build your own city
What's not so great: graphics could be better but it is DS

How do you set up windows media to your xbox 360 with windows xp software?
I am using an xbox 360 elite limited editon (resident evil 5 one), and i wanted to put media center on it.
How to I set it up with a wireless network?

To set up Windows Media Center:
If you use Windows XP, first go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup and click Setup to download the latest Windows Media Center software update to your PC running Windows Media Center.
Note
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition come pre-installed with Windows Media Center.
Connect your Xbox 360 console to your PC using one of the connection types described in "Connect to Xbox LIVE."
On your Xbox 360 console, go to My Xbox and open Windows Media Center . Follow the on-screen instructions to finish Windows Media Center setup.
Along with standard DVD remote control functions, the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote features a Windows Media Center button that lets you access a connected PC running Windows Media Center.
Xbox 360 can connect to an 802.11g or an 802.11a router with an optional wireless adapter such as the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter. Optimal performance is possible only when your Xbox 360 console connects to your network using the 802.11a standard. Other wireless devices, such as portable computers or desktop computers, connect with 802.11g.
Note
If you use wireless networking equipment that is not "Designed for Media Center Edition" (DfMCE) logo certified, you may experience poor wireless performance when you connect to PC running Windows XP and Windows Media Center.
To guarantee compatibility with current gear and to provide additional uninterrupted bandwidth for Xbox 360, replace an older 802.11g-only router with a newer, dual-band 802.11g and 802.11a router that is DfMCE certified.
Media Center Remote Control
The Xbox 360 console can be configured for use with your Media Center Remote Control. With this you can use familiar remote features to control the Windows Media Center features that are available with Xbox 360.

Go to the My Xbox and select System Settings.
Select Console Settings.
Scroll down and select Remote Control.

Note
The Media Center remote control cannot adjust the volume level for Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360 Universal Remote is the best way to access the features of Media Center on the Xbox 360 system. You can control your Xbox 360 experience with an ergonomic design that includes backlit buttons, TV controls, and integrated Media Center controls.

2.0 usb flash drive. will it work on the ps3
most flash drives will work on ps3, some however you will have to format into either a ntfs or fat 32 drive (cant remember which) you can do this on your computer by plugging the device in, and going to the drive itself to view folders and click formatt ( on win xp it is on the left side bar as an option) it will however delete anything on the card. to get the ps3 to read items on it ,as an example a movie, you would go to movies on the media bar in ps3, highlight (do not push x to select the thumbdrive) the thumbdrive under movies and press triangle and select veiw all. other wise the ps3 will act like there is nothing on the drive.

i have this sprint USB thing and i dont know how to set it up to my PS3
i have it working on my laptop perfectly...just plug it in and go. but when i plug it in the ps3 it wont even show up.
the ps3 doesnt pick up some items in the usb ports (it wont detect a digital camera that i have from kodak) you may need to re-ask the question and state what the item is, what does it do. is it a phone (majic jack, vonage type device, wireless internet device (ps3 is wireless out of the box) is it a memory device of some kind) without know what the device is and does it is rather difficult to find a solution.

Is Sony going to have a price cut for ps3 like the rumors are saying
to be honest rumors of this nature have been going on for a while, i was told of a price cut in april that never happened. it is unclear at this time unless sony announces it themselves. i do know that sony takes a hit on every system they sale right now, meaning it costs more to make them than what they sale them for becuase of their own chipset they had made for the system. i woudlnt count on a price cut anytime soon, and if it happens with-in 30 days of your ps3 purchase i know most stores will honor the new price and will provide a refund. i woudlnt count on a price cut anytime soon unless sony becomes desperate to sell, especially since a descent blue ray player alone is running $300.00 by itself. i woudlnt count on a price cut due to that alone, if you are debating on buying one, i will tell you that overall it is worth the $400 price tag considering you dont have to buy accessories like you do with xbox 360 (wireless adapter is 99 dollars alone on 360 and ps3 is wireless right out of the box, and it comes with a rechargable controller which is another $20 on xbox and the online is free and xbox 360 is $60 a year plus you cant browse the internet like with ps3, considering all that ps3 is cheaper than xbox 360 in the long run already)

I am looking to buy an xbox for the first time and the elite seems like a pretty good deal. Is it worth $400 plus a year of live 2 games + controller
to be honest when you consider you have to buy the system, xbox live, a play and charge kit (unless you like batteries) a $99 wireless adapter you are actually paying more than you would for a more reliable ps3 which is ready to go out of the box. the only thing i purchased with my ps3 was a headset (any blue tooth headset that utilizes bluetooth 2.0 or later will work) and a controller for my fiance (and a seperate usb cable to charge it or you can get a charges that charges multiple controllers at the same time) you do get a chance to win a free game on xbox 360 called RED RING OF DEATH as well. the system reliability for xbox 360 is below standard. i myself have had a total of 4 360's, 3 of which have been since march of 2009. i woudl advise against xbox but that is just my opinion. do keep in mind im not a playstation fan boy, i just want a system that works and i got it and more with PS3
