Fun for all ages!!
I got this game for my daughter last year and we still play it now, There's something quite therapeutic about peeling veg with your stylus, chopping onions etc. There are many things to do and many recipes to unlock. Me and my kids love it.

Cooking Mama 2
I really liked cooking mama 2 but in my opinion it is quite short. Although you can change mama's clothes and decorate her kitchen! There are tons of recipes, at first you start of with 2 characters and only a few recipes but as you play the game you can unlock more characters and recipes, but if you don't like cooking or prefer adventure don't buy this game. This was my first nintendo DS game. I liked it but I completed it in a week. In my opinion you should get this game but it isn't very adventurous.

A great game...for awhile...
First of all, can i just say that on Cooking Mama 2, the actual game play is very, very good. It's a classic game for all ages that takes full advantage of the DS's touch screen. The mini-games are fun and the graphics are not amazing but are suitable for the type of game.

Now we come to the let downs. Firstly, as i find with a lot of games like this, it is just too short! OK, so it has more than the original, and the new deserts that are not in CM1 are a deffiant bonus, but after i had completed it, i found myself wondering what to do.

The Cooking with Mama mode is simply easy because anything you do wrong, mama will fix, and you carry on, but once you have mastered the all mini-games (which does not take longer than a few hours of gaming) the Cooking with Friends mode (where mama cannot fix your mistakes) is a breeze.

Some people may argue that getting gold in all the recipes takes up along time, but personally, after doing all the recipes, i had no motivation to go through them all over again. Quite simply, I got bored. The mini-games got repetitive, mama's voice drove me insane and in the end, I gave up.

I'm really sorry but I just can't bring myself to give this 4 stars, what i would like to say is that Harvest Moon and Pokemon Diamond are bot fantastic and well worth the money, so save your pocket money and buy them, because they are worth the extra cost.

LOVE IT!!
fantastic game! really loved it. started off easy so you can get the hang of it and gets harder through out the game. only negative is its too short!! but kept me hooked for days. definatley recommend it. LOVE IT!!

super game
This is a great game, it's only my fourth DS game but it's a challenging game. I got it for my eighth birthday. I find the pottery class a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it, it's great. First you start of with only four pupils. At the end of the lesson you get to mark a pupils work.It is a fantastic game and I hope you buy it if you don't you will be missing a lot of fun.BUY THIS GAME!

Lots of Fun but Easy
I really enjoyed this game but it only took me 4 days to complete the overall task. It is definetly enjoyable but just too easy.

Cool But not that cool
turns out after 2 hours of messing around my cordless phone was making me think this product was defective. although not impressed with the video quality of the IR Camera this still is a very cool toy i wish was around when i was a kid.

Pro- very cool concept

Con- takes AA batteries (and a lot of them) come on how long have we had rechargeable batteries?

Birthday present for grandson
My soon to be nine year old grandson had only one request from me for his birthday....the spy robot car. "But," he told me, " how much can you spend....they are [...]!" He was pretty close to correct and I try to keep my birthday gifts for 9 grandchildren at around [...]. When I started looking for the product on line, it was over [...] everywhere except Amazon. I got it for closer to [...]. I was pleased and he was thrilled with his gift.

If only it was made well
This toy is so much fun... when it works. The boy that I work with got his for Christmas last year and it was so cool... for a week. Then the wheel fell off and the parts were so tiny that we couldn't them. It was a very expensive piece of trash. I then bought my daughter one thinking that it was just a fluke that his was junk. However, when my daughter's spy car arrived the video camera was faulty and we got no picture through the glasses. I think that if they put as much thought into the production as they did into the concept it would be amazing, however, I think they need to go "back to the drawing board" and get it right.

Customer Reviews

Nyko Wii Frontman works great for me
I saw an amazing price on the Nyko Wii Frontman guitar controller and thought for sure something so much cheaper than the original Guitar Hero guitar would be inferior. But at the price (and with the other reviews) I figured it was worth a try. Well I'm happy to report my fears were thus far unfounded. The guitar performs great for me - although I'm not a Guitar Hero master. If you are used to the official guitar you will notice some differences:

1. The neck is not removable, so it is less convenient for those who maybe need to travel or store the guitar in tighter spaces
2. The + and - buttons are on the opposite side of the whammy bar - just cosmetic to me
3. The whammy bar's up/down orientation adjustment is a little stiffer than my original - I think that the stiffness is preferable as it doesn't bump out of alignment as easily
4. Obviously you can see it is a different style - I like having two different guitars than two identical ones
5. The Frontman comes with a replaceable pick guard for two color options. I don't really care about this much, but it gives a little more variety. The "pick" tool to remove the guard is conveniently housed inside the Wii controller bay.

I read in some reviews that this guitar is smaller. That is not true of mine - they are the same size.

I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Decent replacment or additional guitar
The "Frontman" guitars are a decent replacement or additional guitar to use for your Guitar Hero game. The unit itself feels and looks a bit "cheaper" then the regular GH or RB guitars but still work just fine. The buttons feel a bit "spongy" to me, again they work fine but if your used to a GH or RB guitar it might take a little getting used to. They are currently lsited to work with Guitar Hero III and I know from experience they work fine with Guitar Hero Aerosmith. They may not work with Rock Band, check Nyko's website for that. One nice thing is both the white and yellow models come with a changeable pick guard so if you buy two of the same color you can still change ones pick guard and have them look a little different.

For the price these are worth picking up, especially if you have one guitar currently and want a second for two player playing. It also makes a good backup or travel guitar since the price is relatively low.

Guitar works great.
Guitar works great. However amazon wont even price match themselves... I bought it like 2 weeks ago for $20 and now its $6.95...

Works Perfectly! Simple To Use!
My wireless router sits within a few feet of my Wii. I saw no reason why I should be using a wireless connection, when a wired connection is typically faster and more reliable (and is one less possible source of device conflicts).

This worked perfectly. I purchased this on one of the Black Friday sales, so it was much cheaper than the normal price. I figured I had nothing to lose. But, now that I am using it, I think it's a good value at the current price too.

Simple to use:

1. Plug it into one of the USB ports in the back of the Wii.
2. Connect the device to your router using a Cat-5 line (not included).
3. Go into the Wii Internet menu and configure the internet connection for "wired".

If it's working, you'll see a blue LED on the device blink as it is accessing the internet. Hardest part was opening the package!

Does the trick
I was looking for a product that would replace the spotty wireless connection that I had (older router clear across the house...). I also wanted the additional speed that a dedicated, hard-wired connection would provide to the gaming console. This did the trick - no problems so far, and very simple to setup in the configuration section of the Wii menu. Definitely would recommend this to anyone having problems with a wireless connection.
