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 i do think that pac-man and the rest are a little outdated but it does bring back memories for those who used to blow money in the arcades, a nice step back into time.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

Posted by: william09
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.
What's great about it: good puzzle solving fun
What's not so great: not for children due to dificulty, uless an adult can assist them

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.

ea messed up another NFS game

Posted by: william09
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

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

My shoulder button on my ds lite stopped working. Can you fix them?

My L and R buttons have stop working. Can bestbuy fix my ds lite and how much will it cost?
here is a link that tells how to fix them and what you will need, also if you call some game stores they may be able to repair them or maybe even bestbuy geeksquad can repair them for you, you would need to call the stores for pricing information though, hope this helps.

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.

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.
