great online experiance
on March 8, 2010

i enjoyed this game more than mag or cod online which is suprising. i like the fact that when someone hides you can destroy their cover, not only killing them but also ensuring they wont be hiding in that spot again in that round. I do wish the online games lasted longer, it seems when i am just getting started the game ends.
overall the game is different from the way COD or mag plays. it is more along the lines of mag in the fact you do better working together. the downside is that if you work together in perfect tandem, the games are very short and you can blow through 6-8 games in less than an hour. if you like FPS game but desire something a little different this is the way to go.
in my opinion COD lost its luster a long time ago, mag was a welcome addition to the team playing that was so desperatly needed after years of COD's lone run and gun type play. This game improves where mag started, there are not as many people but there are more weapons to choose from which is where mag was lacking the most. the maps are smaller but not to small though the boundry limits should be more obvious.
all in all a great game, worth picking up.

What's great about it: you can destroy your opponents cover, no where is safe to hide
What's not so great: online takes some getting used to over the cod/mag type games

great game

for one all the reviews on here sound like they were written by the same person. i bought this game looking for something new with trophies, and i am not a long time fan of comand and conquer, but i did play and like C&C Generals, also for RTS i loved empire earth among a few others.
this game does RTS on a console very good. hopefully we will see other games follow suit.
the bonus features are ok, some give detail on what went into making the game, music and ect...though the actors that do C&C tv (a show in the bonus features) are really....dorky and annoying to hear. this game is pretty much like a B-rated movie with the actors and real scenes.
the gameplay is great fun, and the units are cool and each faction has different units and strategies involved in playing.
the game is great, and is worth purchasing, the bonus features are just a bonus and i found it cool that they actually allow you to play the music from the bonus menue so you can hear all the tracks. the xtras are cool just becuase they are there, but it isnt anything worth paying extra for, the acting is B-rated but the gameplay shines. great and worth the time and money investment.

good game

from joplin, mo
one thing i didnt like about this game, starting with a new character, i am able to get KO's withing a few minutes, 99% of the time it is with-in the first round. i figured it would be more difficult.
the graphics are good, bruises, sweat, cuts and other signs of damage show as a match goes on. the create a fighter is good, though it lacks any real personality as characters typically only wear shorts, so dont expect costumes like smackdown vs raw.
overall this game is probably the best fighting game out as of now. it is more deep than smackdown vs raw, and is a more realistic game when it comes to moves, damage, action. worth purchasing, even if you are not an avid UFC fan, which i am not, and even though the game is good, i still wont watch the fights just becuase it isnt my thing.
the bottom line, you dont have to be a fanboy of the UFC to enjoy the game, which is a great thing.

fun game, family friendly

this game is suprisingly fun, even for an avid action/shooter gamer. the game also supports multiplayer co-op which adds to the playability of the game. the game has plenty of items to collect, and some levels may require another play through if you didnt nab everything. the game is very family friendly and is also appropriate for smaller children.
also the downloadable/online content is monitored for anything inappropriate so the game is going to stay family friendly. a great alternative for those seeking a "mario" type game, but more fun to play.

not as good as teh hype
on July 16, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this game is probably the lamest fighting game i have ever played. alot of people love it though i do not know why. here are the problems i have with the game.
1) for a fighting game, in order to win in arcade mode you almost always have to use the same move over and over again, like in the old mortal kombat games where most enemies were beaten with repeated foot sweeps. if you try to actually "fight" you will get beaten on harder difficulties.
2) the last boss is abysimal. alot of people have complained about the cheap moves he pulls off and how hard he is. granted he is the last boss, but he is probably the hardest boss in a fighting game.
3) very frustrating control scheme on both playstation and 360. almost impossible to pull off super moves unless you buy a $70 arcade stick, which isnt worth it.
my suggestion if you must play this game..rent it or borrow it, get frustrated, then return it. this game was overly hyped and not worth $60. dont take my word for it. google "why is street fighter so hard" or most frustrating fighting games. street fighter is all over the net, just not for good reasons.

good western game
on July 10, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
the story mode of the game is lacking, as with all shooters, with few exceptions. even call of duties story modes are not that great. it is pretty much like a previous reveiw said, go to star, complete task, go to next star, complete task ect. it is not as open ended as i expected it to be and is pretty linear. there are some hidden items to find in story mode and a cheat code that provides you with starting money, money for multiplayer and silver or gold weapons for multiplayer. it is a code sorta like a thank you for purchasing the game which is nice.
the online multiplayer was the best aspect of it. i have no idea what was going on with one of the previous reviews of not being able to play online. i purchased this from day one and have had no problems at all. basically as an example of one online match that was very fun, we (team of players) had to defend a bank vault from the opposing team, it is timed and you have so many minutes to complete the task. we won and it was our turn. we got to the vault, blew it open to "steal the contents"..the next phase of the multiplayer since we stole the contents was to break into the stables, which again was timed and we completed it, then we had to excape the town on horseback as the last segment of the multipleyer round. you are awarded with money to unlock new characters for online play.
over all i enjoyed the multiplayer more than call of duty 5 due to the way it was set up with different goals in each round instead of just one goal in mind. i like this game, and considering there are no other western games it is worth checking out. some will like it, some will not. i am not a western person but this game was a welcome change of pace from the sci fi/military shooters i am used to. my advise, rent it, if you like it purchase it, if not, you spent $6 to check it out, no big loss, and you learned for yourself wether the game is good or not.

if you want a sandbox game to destroy everything this is the game for you. use your sledgehammer to knock down support columns to bring a building down, or use bombs to take out the supports, and if that gets old, just drive through the place in a vehicle and call it done.
everything in the game can be destroyed. the physics are good and every building falls differently which keeps it awe inspiring. the story is ok but isnt grade A and you can read about it in the description so i wont get into it. this game is about destruction. once you destroy buildings, walls, vehicles, people you collect items to salvage to use to purchase new upgrades which is cool. the graphics are great and the landscape is your playground of destruction, go bring down some buildings already.

good remake

Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this was a good remake of the first few friday the 13th movies and goes over some of what was missed in the origional like jason seeing his mother killed and getting his hockey mask, it also covers teh machette he is famous for using, most details left out of the origionals so there is new content included, also new kills and yes, jason now runs and seems more menacing than the origional films. hopefully they make another one and get jason back on track where the series should have been since everything past jason takes manhatten took the series in the toilet in my opinion. over all a good movie and worth seeing if you love the slasher genre.

great improvement for controller
on June 7, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
these are a great improvment over the origional triggers. i bought them last night and tested them on FUEL, Killzone 2, and Call of Duty: World at War. they are more comfortable than the default angle of the controller. i noticed a slight improvement over controlling the trigger buttons (as in how much pressure is applied). it also helped to prevent the controller from pressing the buttons when i lay the controller down on a couch or table. over all a good item, but it is seriously just 2 peices of plastic for $5 which is over priced for something that costs 20 cents to make, but with no other options to choose from and these being the only triggers i have found, i guess we are stuck paying the high marked up price if we want the improved funtionality. one does have a crack in it where it clips on but i beleive it was like that and it was either shipped that way or had something heavy on it. it isnt really a crack but you can tell the plastic was stressed somehow becuase there is white discoloration in a crack like pattern on both sides where it clips on. im not to worried about it, it works, it stays on, and i wont be taking them off becuase i bought 2 sets, one for each controller i have becuase i figured it would be cheap plastic and i would imagine if you take them off, and put them on repeatedly they will break.
overall the item is a great find, but it should be priced at $1.00 instead of $5. it is more of a comfort thing rather than a game improvment thing, though it is more comfortable in racing games like FUEL where you have to have the triggers depressed for long periods of time due to it being the accelerator button. other than that, no they dont improve shooting guns at all, you can either aim and hit a target or you cant, it will not improve your game to where you all of a sudden have 100 more kills than usual, so dont expect anything major, though it does feel more natural when using a sniper rifle in COD5.
if you are looking for more comfort buy these, if you are looking to improve your game, these wont help.

this game is great, and fun. the graphics are awsome and the pyhsics are great. this game however is alot different control scheme wise from call of duty. once you get used to the controls and put aside the 10000 hours of call of duty controls programmed in your head it is great.
the story is good and better than most games. no corny plots or stupid characters. the job system is a good thing in multiplayer and mixes things up a bit. there are also alot of trophies, which most seem easy to acheive and realistic, nothing to demanding or complicated unlike some games.
the game is not a cod clone, it is its own game with a cool story and neat characters and awsome sound and graphics. worth purchasing, and it should be enjoyable to most FPS fans.

In this Sunday's paper , I looked in the Best Buy magazine and it said that you can trade in your ds lite for a dsi xl. Do I still have to pay money?
How much if I do? It said to go to www.bestbuy.com/gametradein but it never said anything about trading it in for a dsi xl.
best buy accepts trades on older electronics. the prices they give you are not that great. you will need to enter the information on the website to get a price, i assure you it wont be that much.

ps3 price cut
is there going to be any kind of bundle or price cut coming this year that is less than $400?
as much as romors point to a price cut i highly doubt it will happen, especially since they have had rumors of a price cut for as long as i can remember. also since the whole activision threatening to pull out and the ceo of sony basically stating "how logical is it to lose money on every system sold" a price cut isnt happening any time soon.
if it makes the purchase any easier, when you consider an xbox 360 with a harddrive for 300, a wireless adapter for 99, and a charge kit for the controller for 20 and 60 for an xbox live membership...you are already looking at more than a ps3, and you get blue ray as well, which i dont really care about blue ray. also if you are willing to pay $40 as a one time fee, there is a download where you can do netflix on ps3 along with a few other movie sites. it is called play on and i personally use it and it was worth it.
sorry to say that a price cut isnt coming anytime soon, though i agree it would be nice, then i would buy a second ps3, but i highly doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Call of Duty 3 ?
I am looking for a wwii era war/first person shooter game this looks to be the best(Besides battlefield 1943) is it ? (I am really clueless)
call of duty world at war is a WW era game, it features countries like the US/japan (which you play the us), and russian/germain (which you play russia) campains. the online multiplayer is great. i havent played 1943 yet, so i wouldnt know what it is like though i know it is multiplayer only.
hope this answers your questions, and if you decide to purchase this game, look forward to seeing you on the field.

Play Station Store ?
I am looking in to getting a PS3, what is play station store and how does it work? (how do i put in money?)
the playstation store is where you can purchase themes, games, add-on content, rent/purchase movies and watch videos/tv shows. you have to either purchase a playstation network card in various amounts, or use a credit/debit card to add funds. you get the option to add funds when you add something to your cart and confirm the check out, then it will ask you to add funds.

can i buy trade in games from best buy that have been traded in buy customers ?
at this time i dont think best buy has started to sell used games yet. i know they have kiosk's in dallas and austin that purchase used games. it is something recent to my knowledge, and i work in bestbuys call center, so far there is no word on when they will sell the games to customers..or exactly what they are doing with the games so far for that matter. granted i am no one big in the company but asking around no one has heard anything as of yet.

corrupted data
my ps3 says the data is corrupted what can i do to fix it? i start games then they freeze help!!!
it sounds like you have either downloaded a bad file, turned the game off when it was saving, or got a virus from browsing the internet. my suggestion would be to wipe the hard drive and start over. Simply remove the hard drive from your PS3, and turn on the console. It should display a screen saying the hard drive will need to be reformatted. Then, plug the hard drive back into your PS3, and allow it to reformat. Your save game data will be erased but the system should work again, also here is a link to the same solution but worded differently. http://www.xomba.com/ps3_help_froze_up_ps3_hard_drive_reformat

In-camera cropping and rechargeable batteries?
I want to buy a digital camera $200 or less. it needs to have in-camera cropping and more than 7 megapixels. aslo, i would prefer for it to be 4x or more optical zoom and can record sound. i know its kind of specific, sorry about that
you are lucky. the perfect camera that fits that description is 1) commonly found in all best buy stores, 2) the highest rated camera on our website and highly rated on sites like cnet, and other sites. i did about 5 months of reasearch to find the perfect camera for my fiance, but i cant afford the price of a tv or car for a camera. the item i came up with is a canon PowerShot 10.0-Megapixel Digital ELPH Camera - Silver . the sku number for the item is 8800577. if you place those numbers in the search for box in bestbuys website it will take you straight to the item.
i personally bought this camera after researching and also wrote a review on it as well, it should be on the site under the item with in 72 hours. it is perfect for the price (200). you wont regret it and it has all the features you are looking for.
