5 Stars Action Replay Review
The Action Replay works really well, but you also have to be careful when you use it because it causes your game to become very sensitive. Overall though, I really like it.
4 Stars Great but wish someone would have told me!
I bought this for my daughter, a Pokemon addict, because she wanted as many Pokemon as she could get on her Diamond game. Everything worked great until she started playing the DS game – then it started freezing. The last straw was when it froze the DS just as she was capturing her favorite Pokemon! Found out that we downloaded ALL THE CODES to the AR instead of just the Pokemon Diamond codes. It caused the DS to freeze b/c of all the codes. I am in the process of deleting all of the game codes on the AR and then adding just the Diamond codes. Hopefully this fixes the problem, if not, I’ll revise my opinion!
1 Star Don’t Buy This: It’ll Ruin your DS!!!
My son got one of these as a birthday gift, downloaded all the codes, and played once. After that, his games were ruined.
I contacted a local store and asked them their experiences of this product and they unequivocally to not buy it, because it will eventually ruin all your saved games and then possibly your DS.
Stay away.
1 Star didnt work with our ds lite
i assume this an ‘ok’ product, if you can get it to work.
it didnt work in our ds lite game system. we are very dissapointed
it was a waste of money.
5 Stars Great way to catch ‘em all!
Trying to catch every Pokemon is not as easy as it may seem. So this product helped in a big way. Now I have just about all the Legendary Pokemon and some that were really hard to find.

5 Stars super awesome
My son is eight and loves this game! He is, of course,a Spongebob fanatic. So, I don’t know if it’s just the game or if it’s Spongebob that makes it great! Couldn’t tell ya!
5 Stars satisfied
daughter had a game collection stolen and couldn’t find them in stores to replace them. She is delighted that I found them on Amazon and is loving them all over again.
4 Stars Drown to life.
This game is great, my son loved it.
The fact that you have to draw your own caracter is awesom.
5 Stars Drawn to life game
I bought this game for my boys and they love it, of coarse they love sponge bob any way lots of fun
4 Stars Drawn to Life in SpongeBob’s world
Spongebob drawn to life is a lot like Drawn to Life, except with Spongebob’s world. The mini worlds are the moon, underwater, amusement park, etc. You draw your own character, called “Doodle Bob”, and you can draw weapons, and other items you think will help you on your journey. Your mission is to beat “Doodle Pants” who is like SpongeBob, but evil.
This game is fun, but regular Drawn to Life is better.

5 Stars For those who press start, we salute you!
This game is AWSOME! The guitar playing is actually smoother than Guitar Hero, the DLC alone is a LOT better too. My only complaint is the create-a-player isn’t as deep, I would’ve loved to make a Ranma Saotome just to say ‘I jammed with Ranma!’ Yeah, I’m an otaku.
Anyway, great game, great music, great DLC, great overall.
5 Stars Rock Band 2
Got my nephews Rock Band this is a great additon to give them move songs to play.
4 Stars Fun and addicting
This is a great game the only way I could make it better would be more and more songs. Also more recognizable songs.
4 Stars Setup Instuctions and song list need help
The provided (and required) USB hub is the wireless transmitter (dongle) that comes with the guitar in Wii Rock Band 2 Special Editiion. You don’t need to buy a hub to play all three instruments that come with the game. It is provided.
But, despite coming with three different manuals, the game’s documentation never mentions how to physically setup the complete game. There is a game manual, a guitar manual and a drum manual. The microphone manual is one page of the game manual. The guitar and drum manuals are basically a numbered sequence of pictures. There is little or no text and no mention of how to use either instrument with other instruments in the game. No wonder people think they have to buy a hub!
We never opened the guitar box for the first week; we had so much fun with just the drums and mic. But, after using up the only two USB ports on the Wii for the wireless drums and wired mic, we wondered how it was possible to hook up three instruments. The guitar wireless dongle looks just like the drum dongle, but, it is also a usb hub. In pages and pages of documentation, the only clue about this is a couple of lines of microtype nearly hidden between the guitar setup pictures and several paragraphs of disclaimer gobbledygook.
We think it is cool that EA provides the needed hub. Too bad they don’t make its presence and its use more clear for the non-techie families the game is aimed at. So, we ding the game one star for this and the anemic song list.
If you like today’s pop radio scene, you will probably like the song list. If you don’t, like us, the song list will seem anemic. Even if you do like the list of included songs, that list is short, too short for the money paid. The song discs and online content that you have to pay extra for are more of the same, with a bare few good classics thrown in. My son summed up the content last night by saying, “Yeah, I’ve heard these songs, but I wouldn’t have paid to buy any of them!” A perfect description of the available songs for the Wii, right now.
EA could learn from American Idol. There is a reason AI is so successful. The songs the contestants are given to choose from are killer classics, not bubblegum or noisy junk. EA needs to provide more of the killer classics. The game is still fun to play even if you don’t like the songs (a drum riff is a drum riff). But it is even more fun to play with a song that you love. Our whole family joined in on the two (only two! Wha?) Steely Dan songs that we downloaded. That was when we discovered Rock Band. RB needs more songs like that.
5 Stars Rhytym gaming as it should be, on the Wii.
After the ubberly limited Wii port of the first Rock Band, Harmonix really went all out to make sure the sequel wouldn’t suffer the same. Luckily they not only delivered, but released a very competent version for all rhytym game lovers that own a Wii.
RB2 plays pretty much like the first one, and if you are familiar with it and/or Guitar Hero, you’ll be right at home. The objective is to clear songs by correctly following the on-screen color commands which match those of your controller, which could be either drums, bass or guitar. The experience is supposed to mimic playing music in a band, and that’s were the whole fun of “playing rockstar” lays. Not only that, but working together as a team is very important to make sure everyone makes it to the end. The 4th would be the vocalist, and gets to actually sing along, karaoke style. This makes Rock Band the ultimate party experience.
RB2 Wii is thankfully compatible with all Guitar Hero peripherals, but sadly no Rock Band peripherals are compatible with Guitar Hero. RB2 Wii also features online play, and a massive DLC store so that you can increase your music collection.
Greatly recommended.

5 Stars Lots of fun
I never thought I would be very good at playing this game but as i started playing I learned I was better than thought. I love playing this game and highly recomend it.
5 Stars GREAT GAME! GREAT GUITAR
WE ALL KNOW THAT ANY GUITAR HERO GAME IS JUST FUN AND ADDICTING! I GOT HOOKED ON GUITAR HERO IN 2007 WHEN I SAW A FREIND OF MINE PLAYING GUITAR HERO 2. I TOLD HIM TO LET ME TRY IT AND THE MOMENT I STRUMMED FOR THE FIRST TIME I KNEW THAT I WAS GONNA LOVE THESE GAMES! THE GUITAR CONTROLLER THAT COMES WITH THIS BUNDLE IS PROBALLY THE BEST THAT IVE PLAYED. NOT TO BIG AND NOT TO SMALL, I JUST LOVE THIS GUITAR! I PLAY ALL MY GUITAR HERO GAMES WITH THIS GUITAR, GH3, AEROSMITH,METALLICA,WORLD TOUR,SMASH HITS, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL ALSO WORK WITH GUITAR HERO 5. GET THIS GAME AND GUITAR! ITS CHEAPER IF U BUY THE BUNDLE THAN JUST THE GAME. [...]!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Stars guitar hero
I became addicted and the fact that its wireless is the best!! could have more popular songs but overall its fun!!!
5 Stars Fun No Matter What
[...]
The game itself is fun. I don’t like some of the songs but I still enjoy playing the game. At first I didn’t like how some songs could only be unlocked through co-op mode but I realized that it wasn’t a big deal. I can just unlock them when I play this game with one of my friends.
The only thing I can see wrong, which I don’t even care about, is the fact that the controller is not Bluetooth. It doesn’t affect gameplay in any way. However, I felt like I should at least address it because many other reviewers have whined about it. However, There is a dongle, which is shaped like a guitar pick, that goes into a USB port. I did not understand why Activision, or whichever company was in charge of creating the controller would not utilize Bluetooth. I read that Sony did not release all the necessary data required to create a Bluetooth controller.
1 Star Battery eater, feels ’smallish’, song list
The song list is either your type of music or not. The game functions well with the song list. HOWEVER, this controller is the worst ever. It feels smaller than other controllers, even though it is close in size. BUT, it eats batteries! Even when not being used it drains them (no on/off switch, you have to pull them out). Sorry I listened to the other reviewers and got this.

4 Stars useful and needed to back up saves
I purchased one of these basically just to backup save games in case my xbox 360 harddrive ever goes bad. I’ve used this memory card for sometime now and haven’t had any problems with it. Pretty solid.
5 Stars portable game saves
I don’t see any problems with this equipment. I haven’t used it much but it has always performed flawlessly. I think the price is too high but it’s the only way I know of to transport your saves from one unit to another.
5 Stars It works fine, and it came with a free copy of Worms.
The product is exactly what it is, a 512MB memory card for your Xbox 360. I wouldn’t recomend using this for your primary storage device; however, using it as a temporary storage when going to somebody else’s home it functions perfectly.
5 Stars Fantastic
Perfect for game saves. I used this unit at first when i got my 360 and i have about 16 games of memory stored on there, and still have around 125 MB of free space. It really is overpriced at a major retail store, as such as any other 360 accessory. Buy online!
4 Stars Exactly as designed
It does exactly what it should do. It’s a little on the expensive side, but for a product with no substitutes, it’s solid.
