3 Stars sports made better
These accessories definetely help make the wii games more fun and improve your performance. It’s great to have two hands on the bat and golf club.

5 Stars fun fun fun
The sports pack is a great thing to buy

i thought it would be great for my daughter but now everyone uses it

so i think it was well worth the $10

5 Stars Wii Sports
We enjoy the game very much, but the sports equipment that we purchased to go with the game broke after one week. The connection between the handle and each individual racket, golf club, baseball bat broke.

2 Stars OK, for Young Kids
I purchased this Wii accessory for my kids for Christmas. It is OK, but don’t think it is really worth the money. I think it is difficult to remove the remote once fitted in this product, especially so for children. My 4 year old enjoys using, however my 7 year old doesn’t care if he uses or not. If I had to do over, I would save my money and put towards a Wii game or another remote.

2 Stars works?
I like the idea of this product, but the tennis racket really only works from certain angles. It is nice to get used to the motion, but really not necessary.

5 Stars Excellent
I got this game as a gift and the 8 year old enjoyed playing with it. Its very realistic and fun for the whole family. The 2 year old seem to enjoy the most!!

2 Stars Strictly a multiplayer game.
Yes, the fact that I have to play this to no end to unlock players that should already be in the game is quite annoying. I’ve found that playing with the nunchuck is more enjoyable, more controlling, than with the wheel. Also the ridiculousness of coming in late in a race when it is practically in the bag is just too much. It’s a good multiplayer game. That’s about it. It was a much better game on 64! Might as well buy that system and the original if you want to have fun.

5 Stars Yes, it is the best Wii Game!
FUN, FUN, FUN!! We’ve had this game for 5 months. My husband and I, who don’t even like video games, play this with our kids at least a few times a week. (And we’ve both been busted sneaking off and working on our personal “driver’s licences.” We got the Wii and this game for the kids, and we love it as much as them… the best is doing it all together. We have 15 Wii games and this one gets played WAY more than the others combined. If you only have this one game, the Wii console is totally worth it.

4 Stars Geat game!
It’s a great game! If you like racing, You’ll love this game, but when you first get the game, you don’t have all the tracks. It is cool because when you have a dirt bike, you can do “pop a wheelies”. And sometimes, baby carriagages rock because I’ve gotten first place with a baby carriage! I like racing with my friend G.B. except when he crashes into me. If you’re thinking about buying a racing game, I would buy this one. And, if you only have one steering wheel, and you want to race with a friend, you can use the remote by it’s self. You have a choice of characters to choose from and each character has their own selection of vehicles.

4 Stars fun driving game, but not a driving simulator
Great game for kids. Buy an aftermarket wheel to complement the one that comes with the game and play in 2 person mode for even more fun.

4 Stars Great Game!
Bought for my two boys, 11 and 8. At first, they had a little difficulty working the control…..at first my 8 year old got frustrated…but he kept playing…and now they both love it! It is one of their favorite games. It just takes some getting used to. The price was decent, so I didn’t regret it at all. It turned out to be a good purchase!

3 Stars Monster Jam
I bought this for my 3 year old son. He has never played video games other than leapster but he is in love with anything Monster Jam. I also got a stearing wheel thinking that he could drive on his own. HE does ok, but even I have a hard time steering the darn truck. The trucks are very cool looking and the arenas are fun to smash up. My son loves when you smash something and truck parts start flying off.

Lego Indiana Jones The Original Adventures

Imagine being able to play with Legos without having to get all the pieces. Now you can with Lego Indiana Jones. It takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures. With a tongue-in-cheek take on these original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones’s escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India where you will build, battle and brawl your way through your favorite moments, from Indy’s entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Just plain good fun!
I just wanted to put out there that my husband and I are both “gamers” and we both thought this game was terrific! It’s fun to play through the story lines with two players and then to go back and spend hours unlocking all the extras. It’s creative enough not to get repetitive and boring, but simple enough to start playing immediately and with kids or adults.

5 Stars Anyone will love this. Huge Value for Money
Bought this 2 days ago. Played for about 4hrs. It absolutely awesome. I almost always play sports games. I’ve never been into adventure or action games. I own Zelda and I only spent 2 hrs on it and got bored. Not with Indy. Its a great deal of fun and keeps you constantly interested. Fun Fun Fun. The best part about it is VALUE FOR MONEY. Video games are expensive and you want to get the most out of it. Indy has so so much. The story line with lego is funny and you enjoy re-living the series. Plus you end up going back and replaying with other characters to unlock more stuff. Definitely worth the money. I also recommend Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. I own: Fifa, Zelda, Indy, Mario Olympics, Mario Party 8, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play.

5 Stars Lego Indiana Jones for Wii
This game is just as fun as the other Lego video games. The graphics are good. A lot of fun to play. My eight year old son and I enjoy playing.

4 Stars Another Great Lego Title
Another great Lego title. My kids have enjoyed the Lego series of games. From the original Star Wars to the newer version and now Indy. They literally play the same levels over and over and over again. The only minor complaint is that the Indiana Jones Lego game is a bit too short as far as length is concerned. My 7 year old has made it through all three movies in less than a week with very little effort or time. That is not to say that “dad” has not had to jump in for a little fun and help at times. That is a minor complaint compared to the overall fun factor. Great fun.

5 Stars It must be a lot of fun
The kids play it constantly and my husband is stands on the sidelines cheering them on.

I like it because the characters are legos and break apart so it’s no so violent.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars This game is amazing!
This game is extremely realistic. I own a Black Knight and the game version is an exact copy. If you like some of the older Williams games this title is a must have. I just hope they make another version w/ some additional titles.

5 Stars Fun game!
I enjoy playing this game. With pinball, each play is different so I never get bored. I hope they release pinball games from other manufacturers too, such as Gottlieb. I’m a happy customer! Fun! Fun! Fun!

5 Stars I feel like I’m in HighSchool again!
Let me be clear, I LOVED TAXI in highschool. Loved it.

If I didn’t already have a Wii and if the only game I got in the packaged game was TAXI, I’d have bought it all to have this game.

It is SO like the actual game. The only flaw I can find is that I used to be able to get “Gorby” with the right flipper, and I can’t quite do it wth this game. Only a TAXI fanatic would pick on this. And that flaw is a drop of water in an ocean. They also mimicked the “free game” crack-sound. The machine used to really resound when it “cracked”. They got the sound, but you can’t really mimick that unique feel of the real thing.

I CANNOT BELIEVE how WELL they mimicked the actual game. Even the slight randomness of when you pull back the spring lever to put the ball into play. Its never perfectly repeatable. And they got it down.

When I heard “Comrad Taxi” for the first time, I felt like a million bucks, I LOVED this game. And now I have it, without the full sized machine sitting in my house.

I felt like I did years ago. Sometimes I’d leave slightly dejected with the “I’ll get you tomorrow TAXI” feeling, sometimes so gleeful when I picked up everyone and got the CRACK sound.

And it was like I never left it. The first time the ball went a certain path, I was like “Oh man, that feels like a lost ball right down between the flippers” and sure enough, it did exactly that. I was even estatic about this game when I lost the first ball!

General Stuff:

This game is not easy, but its not impossible. That’s what I like.

You gotta have a good run and be “in the zone” to pick up all the passengers.

I also like that the passenger who needs to be picked up calls out for you. So you’re not confused about “What should I be trying to do now?” like alot of pinball games.

You can get “2 balls at once” when you do a certain task.

2 balls at once is a mixed bag, because you can’t “line up” your shots like you can when you have one ball sometimes.

THANK YOU !!

(Note, I only played Taxi on it. I could play Taxi for hours straight. I guess one day I’ll get to the other ones.)

5 Stars Perfect for gift giving
I got this for my guy but now I’m playing it all the time. OMG, its just like the real thing but better! This is a must for all game lovers. So much better than I thought it was going to be.

5 Stars ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! You get more than what you pay for !!!
Being a 1980-1990’s pinball aficionado, I’ve played them all in the arcades. Quarter after quarter, replay after replay… I pride myself having spent many hours on pinball for mere dollars. I’ve spent a good deal of my college years making my entertainment value stretch.

However, the main thing lacking in home-versions of pinball games (either on computer platform or gaming consoles) is the “pinball wizard” feeling from merely pushing buttons and watching the balls bounce in uncontrollable patterns.

“Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection” is hands-down an exception to the disappointment I’m used to. Far superior to any pinball simulator I’ve EVER played, this adaptation is so close to the real thing, it’s incredible. The biggest drawback from many home-version pinball games is the upright “flippers-at-your-hands” feeling. Astoundingly, with Pinball HOF, I get the feeling that I’m at a real arcade as I “bump” the machines using my Wii remotes.

Equally unbelievable and impressive are the accurate depictions of the graphics and sounds from EACH machine. SVG Distribution did such a fantastic job recreating the Wii version that it’s hard to differentiate the software from the original machine. The older machines (i.e. Jive Time) have that classic relaxed pinball-saloon feel to them; however, the newer machines (i.e. Funhouse, Whirlwind, Taxi) give you the sensation of nudging the ball with your body movements. I don’t know if what I’m trying to say is clear, but to pinball enthusiasts, you’ll know what I mean by moving the ball “not with the flippers, but your body.”

If SVG were to release another Pinball Hall of Fame (Gottlieb? Stern?), I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, pinball is undergoing a demise in popularity these days. I don’t know why. A pinball wizard could be easily entertained for long periods of time dropping only a few coins. Hmmm… must be today’s economy that’s driving pinball production down.

Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about this game. It has been keeping me entertained to the point that I haven’t even played Super Mario Kart yet, a game that I bought the same day as Pinball HOF. That’s my $.02… which will only buy .08 gallons of gas.
