Customer Review: Eccellente
This is an amazing item, I have tried many diferent techniques to learn Italian and this is by far the best. I really do encourage you to buy this you won’t regret it. The voices used are really good as well, they saying everything clearly allowing you to understand quicker. The music is also an added bonus it allows the words to stick in your brain faster, and makes the experience alot more enjoyable. With this product its not a matter of having to use it, but you want to use it. Fantastic.
Customer Review: Not for me.
The principle of learning a language by listening to music appealed to me but unfortunately I have to say that this doesn’t really float my boat. It’s not what I would consider music, rather it is just a re-work of the idea of repetition with some tunes in the background and some odd mixing. Since buying this I haven’t even been able to make it all the way through without becoming frustrated, or amused at the music… either of which aren’t conducive to my learning some Italian. I think I’ll look for something else.

There are few things in life quite so liberating as the opening track on an Elbow album–they’re like airlocks between the plainness of the outside world and the elaborate melancholic heave-ho that you are likely about to submerge yourself in. Following predecessors “Any Day Now”, “Ribcage” and “Station Approach”, “Starlings” opens their fourth album The Seldom Seen Kid rising from a bed of tumbling electronic subtlety like a depressed Atari game loading up, adding bare touches of piano, glimpses of ambient guitar, out of body background vocals, an understated pulse and a wisp of strings, before–EXCELSIS!–a fanfare avalanche of horns crashes the gate and elevates things to gasping palatial heights, before Guy Garvey’s inimitable gravel tone and wrenchingly poetic reinterpretations of the everyday announce their arrival proper. It’s astonishing, by far the most progressive moment on the album and if anything it sets the bar too high. But even when the pace dips, and songs like “Mirrorball” and “Weather to Fly” don’t distinguish themselves quite enough, their textural peerlessness remains. This is a beautiful sounding record. Their collaboration with Richard Hawley may be more of a curiosity than a thing of beauty, but the highs, the riffing cross-stitch of “Ground for Divorce”, the desolate grandeur of “The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver” and the enlightened string-laden anthem “On a Day Like This” (like their own Sound of Music–only substitute the Alpine peaks for a Manchester high-rise) number amongst the best of their career. –James Berry

Very impressed. Great sound. Brilliant. Such a wide variety of tracks and sounds.
Customer Review: Blue, red, i’m asleep, but not asleep in bed
Good for a throw on a summers day, it has a nice affect against the sun. A bit small so you won’t get much distance on it, better used in weather with a bit of a breeze in the air.

Customer Review: A Unique Blast
Fantavision is the only fireworks game I’ve ever came across and really offers up a completely unique twist of the family puzzle genre.
Like many simple puzzle games, the object is to link the same coloured lights together. When you have 3 or more, you can detonate them and they explode into pretty fireworks. Essentially its like bust-a-move without the bubbles and blocks and a real graphical treat for each chain you manage to create.
Yet it does feel completely unique. Whilst its never really challenging, it does hold you attention, and the two player modes make for maddening gameplay and lots of fun.
I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a fresh change to the usual gaming format as its a high quality piece of gaming. The replays are beautiful too!

Customer Review: A real ’sleeper’ hit!
When I first brought my PS2 I wasn’t realy intrested in this game one bit going instead for the more arcade games like Ridge Racer5… but after hearing so much about it I thought I’d give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised.Game play wise it has a lovely relaxed feeling about it even when the action on screen is getting very tense with the graphics never getting to muddled however colourful and complex they get on screen, the fireworks are simply amazing to be seen in the replay [which you can save]Sit back and play this game if you want a change from the norm.
