My government is not pleased with this! Can never know what country to leave you elephants in these days.

Honestly... this product is not effective and should not be used by anyone.

I've been playing this game since alpha (yes Alpha, not just Beta), so I'm not judging this game on just a few days of play. I understand that the game has been revamped, and for the most part SE have made several improvements since the days of alpha. For one, the game is much more stable (as you would expect in the release version), but it does still suffer from the random crashing. However, I am not here to review the differences.

I like the combat system, you can't just go 'AFK' and make a sandwich while your little person swings away. I suppose it is similar to the ATB gauge in some Final Fantasys, each skill/action costs a certain amount of the bar and once the bar depletes all the way down, you have to wait a mere few seconds for it to fill again. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, generally it fills fast, especially if you are lagging or if you are a mage and waiting for recast timers!

I do like the solo play or small-man parties! Pick up a levequest, team up with a friend or two and off you go! Levequests aren't really too confusing. When you pick them off from the starter city NPC, it tells you the location to start the levequest. For beginners, it's the first Camp outside town. So, off you trot to Camp Bent Branch or wherever you started, get close to the big shiny crystal, open your laggy menu to interact with it and select to start a leve quest! Once you start it, the mini map will have arrows to show you the direction of your prey! If you're still not sure where to go, open your big map and it circles the area (great! so simple)! In the top left of the screen it tells you what mobs to kill and how many remain. A lot of people complain that there is a limit to how many levequests you can do in 36 hours, it is only a limit to how many you can start, not participate in. This is to encourage people to be social, make friends and team up! SE seems to think people will be lonely if they don't have several links-hells and make parties.

My only main gripe with this game, that for me personally is enough to walk away from it, is the UI (user interface and menus). I can't forgive SE for this, I can not fathom how they have not improved this more since Alpha. The UI is very chunky, mundane and slow! To get to whatever you wanted to access seems to take several more screens and clicks than it should. Anyone who has played Final Fantasy XI, I'm sure they are aware of this. Also, I hate the chat box, I know several people who complain about this. The chat box will close and erase anything you were typing every time the game tries to load something. For example, you click to view someone's bazaar and try to reply to a friend, it will close the chat box several times while it takes forever to load the bazaar.

I haven't really touched the crafting jobs too much to comment one those, except to say to craft or harvest there is a mini game involved, which can take up time if you wanted to do it quickly.

Well, that's it for now, I hope this has helped a little bit. This review is all an opinion, this game has a lot of potential, but they really need to buff out the kinks and add more content. I'll say this to any FFXI players, think how much they have added to FFXI in the recent years, every game needs time to grow.

I ordered this watch for my husband from Jewelrama, who had it in stock and shipped it 'next day delivery' and he loved it! I'm not much of a tech geek, but the watch feels solid and 'robust'. He hasn't told me of any faults yet, so I'll edit if it breaks or if his opinion changes.

I bought this for my mum for her Birthday/Christmas present since she's rather difficult to buy for. This vase went down a treat, she loved the colours! Very pleased with it. The colours are slightly brighter than the image above but not vulgar. Will look great when it catches the light. Great for people who collect coloured glass or just for people who are fussy.

Hi, well, to start with I just want to mention the loading times. I've played the Gamecube version of this too and they are pretty much exactly the same content wise (I'll discuss that later) but for some reason on the PS2 everytime takes as twice as long to load up, like walking into a house takes ages. In addition your little farmguy runs slower, or that's how it feels to me.

Now onto game content, it's pretty much the same except you can have a girl child and by your bed you have this 'nifty' little diary thing that tells you how well your farm is doing, which isn't there on the GC version. Oh and nearly forgot, your clothes change during the season (big woop? lol). You can also chose Lumina(?) as a bride, the little girl who plays the piano.

Controls compared to the GC version? To me, I prefer the PS2, much simpler layout, but that's my opinion, you'll get used to which ever one you chose.

This game can be pretty addictive but I don't think it's any where near as good as the PS1 version, 'Back To Nature', that really did get you playing for hours. What I miss with 'A wonderful Life' is the festivals, where did they go?! They were what made 'back to nature' hooking! You didn't have to go to them, but they made a change from the everyday tasks! In this game you have one festival a month!

Oh and the weather is much better in this than 'Back To Nature', for example, it can rain a little bit or really pour it down.

A little tip for new people, don't bother with crops or sheep! I know in Back to Nature most of your money was made with renewable crops, but in this, don't bother, grow trees and FISH!

Back to the game though, this is still a good game and some of the cutscenes are very funny! Ok so there's no 'let's save the world' or dungeon crawling (although you can mine stuff!) and your character doesn't have a HP bar, but it's got good gameplay.

I recomend this game even for people who don't like games on a whole, it's user friendly and there's nothing complicated, you just do what you want, when you want.

I think if you like Harvest Moon then you won't be too disapointed, there's so many hours of gameplay as there's 4 years to complete and you can stretch the days out if you want.

So, without making this write up any longer than it already is, I say buy it, there are much worse games out there and this is a game to relax with!

Okay. I've used this cam on MSN, Windows Live and Yahoo messenger. For the price it's not too bad, I wouldn't pay an arm and a leg for this thing, why not? Well for one thing if you have a flat moniter, there's no way to fix it unless you use LOTS of glue-tac, and even then it's too heavy. In addition it has very poor lighting, I have a 60-watt light on over head, a lamp behind me and it still looks like I'm sitting in a dark room. The image doesn't freeze often, so that's good, but it's not a very sharp image, even after messing with all the setting, it just doesn't pick it up. The sound is good, can clearly make out what is being said. All in all, if you want a cheap cam that does what it says on the box e.g. lets people see you, then this is fine, how well you want that person to see you... is a different matter...

Firstly, you really must buy Part1 and make sure you buy both Part1 and this Part2 with the DVD included, they're a big help to the plot. The game further explores the reason into why Orca fell into a coma and with more system failures happening in 'The World' you are left puzzled as to what is the cause and are you truly helping.
Pros: a deep plot, nice theme music, not too bad graphics, good atmosphere of an actual on line game
Cons: reptive dungeon music, annoyin bosses hidin at bottom of dungeons, lots of tideous levelling up and you're stuck as the 'twin blade class', which I find as the most weak class
Overall, I say to buy this game because there's not enough good RPGs out there!

When I brought this phone I was quite happy with it, it did what I wanted, it text'd, called and had polyphonic ringtones. It had/still has, a good battry life, better than my friend's flip phone, but I think it is becoming out dated as it can't recive photos from camera phones. If you brought this phone from new then you would have been buying one of the first colour phones, but now the colour is rather bland compared to more recent phones. I think this phone is good for someone who wants a cheap colour phone that is easy to work, can send texts and make calls, the game's are a bit boring, bring back tradtional snake! But I only gave it three stars because it's out of date, I can't think of any major problems at all.

This is a STUPID and frustrating game. When you die you have to start from the begining... again... and again... because at the start you're very weak and you're just thrown in. You die when you fall off ledges (it wasn't even a big ledge, he could have jumped and landed on his feet), you die when you wander into water (the game didn't tell you that your character can't swim) and of course, you die when a great big, dirty monster attacks you. If you like wasting time, getting killed in 'imaginative' ways, then buy this game!
