![Samurai Champloo: Complete Series [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5807/5807402_sa.jpg)
This funky release from the genre-bending anime series Samurai Champloo includes all 26 episodes of the show from the creator of Cowboy Bebop, following the story of an unlikely trio of misfits, who set off on a quest wandering the wilds of Feudal Japan on a quest to find a mysterious samurai - all interwoven with a decidedly modern sense of humor, and a recurring hip-hop theme.

Samurai Champloo is not a show I thought I would like, but it has such an interesting style and the story is very good. They nailed the dub, and it's a short enough series that it doesn't feel like it drags on with padding, but long enough to be satisfying. The video quality feels a little subpar for a bluray release, but didn't prevent me from enjoying the experience.

I actually bought this game in 2014, imported from Japan because at the time there was no chance it was coming to the West. I was willing to fumble my way through the Japanese menus and options because the game play on offer here is that good. One of the best Tetris offerings in a good while, and a welcome return of Puyo Puyo, which is my all time favorite puzzle game. There are a lot of features and game modes, online play, local multiplayer, characters, and story mode which is surprisingly well done in the localization front. This game is well worth the value price tag.

A near perfect Mario Kart offerring.
on May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has an incredible selection of tracks and characters, and the return of a real battle mode which was disappointing in the original release. If Nintendo continues to support this release with additional content it can only get better. The one thing I would say is still missing is the Block Fort battle arena. This release also offers some welcome accessibility options including Smart Steering, so less familiar players won't have to worry about falling off the track, and auto acceleration, so players don't have to hold down the gas constantly, which I've found incredibly useful.

A satisfying revisit to classic platforming
on April 28, 2017
Posted by: RatedG
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yooka-Laylee feels right at home next to Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64, having been made by much of the same team as those games, and using he same sort of formula as those. The presentation is pretty much perfectly in line with those games, which is exactly what people were hoping for. The gameplay feels like those classic games, though there could have been more improvements made to camera control and such, it's still a marked improvement over those older games. I think if you're looking for another taste of a Banjo style experience, you'll be happy with this game. If you were hoping for a more significant and meaningful evolution of the collectathon platformer genre, this isn't really that game, but it could be the foundation of that sort of advancement in the future.

An interesting continuation of the original movie
on April 17, 2017
Posted by: RatedG
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most of the Ghost in the Shell franchise takes place in separate seeming continuities with a few characters and thread being common place, however, Ghost in the Shell 2 is actually a direct sequel to the original film. The story is interesting and the animation is beautiful, the dub is much better than the original film as well. I think this film leans too much on really stilted and unconvincing philosophical dialogue in comparison to the rest of the entries in the franchise though, which one really has to be in the right mindset for as it can become exhausting or pretentious. The image and audio quality is excellent, with the soundtrack becoming surprisingly aggressive during the action.

One of if not the best LEGO game
on April 17, 2017
Posted by: RatedG
Verified Purchase:Yes
LEGO City Undercover excels because it takes the familiar LEGO game format but has it's own story to tell instead of a heavily truncated and almost nonsensical version of an existing one. The game feels big as well, with an open world as well as the normal set of levels you'd expect. The game now has co-op, which wasn't present in the original WiiU release, but I haven't actually tried it. The levels and puzzles don't feel like co-op is required at all like some of the other games do sometimes. The skills required from different characters are much better organized and telegraphed than any other LEGO game as well.

Posted by: RatedG

Westworld may not hold up as well as film adaptations of Michael Crichton's other works, at least visually, but the concept is still interesting and worth exploring (as evidenced by the phenomenal HBO series). The picture and audio quality is decent, and the film is still worth seeing at least once.

A surprisingly decent jukebox musical
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: RatedG
Verified Purchase:Yes
The initial marketing for Troll was pretty off-putting, but as Dreamworks started to show more of the visuals of the film I became interested. There's a LittleBigPlanet sort of crafty, tangible feel to the textures of the world and characters that is immediately warm and appealing. As far as the film itself, the story is pretty standard fare for a family film, but the musical performances peppered throughout are entertaining and catchy, some even inventive. It's harmless fare, and certainly not the worst of Dreamworks output. The audio/video quality is stellar, colors are rich and pop well, and the soundscape can be satisfyingly aggressive, especially with the music. Special features are alright, though lacking a little in substance for adults or creative types who may be interested in an in depth look at the ideation and creation of the film.

Disney doing what they do best
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: RatedG
Verified Purchase:Yes
Moana is an excellent addition to the Disney catalogue, with the studio firing on all cylinders in the story and animation front. Especially coming off the equally stellar Zootopia earlier in the year. The songs are catchy and memorable, and even beautiful in the case of How Far I'll Go. The supplemental features are actually a bit of a step up from more recent Disney offerings, though still not quite as rich as pre Tangled era Disney Blu-rays. There IS a Commentary though, which has been one of the most sorely missed features from other releases. The video and audio quality is excellent as always with modern Disney releases.

Should have been a pack in game
on March 14, 2017
Posted by: RatedG
Verified Purchase:Yes
While there is plenty of fun to be had with the minigames on offer here, especially if you have plenty of friends over to participate, it's still hard to justify a $50 price tag for what feels like a $10-15 package at best. This game would have been awesome as a part of the Switch purchase, but hard to recommend as a standalone purchase.
