Ratchet & Clank Review
I really like this game. I decided to buy it because it was a really good deal on eBay. Money well spent on my part.
This game has all kind of things to keep you busy. You collect bolts for money and they have golden bolts hidden throughout the game. The longer you play the game and continue the story line the more you find. What keeps it interesting is that you can go back to planets that you have already visited and depending on your equipment you will find more areas that were not on the map or areas you couldn't find before.
The story line envolves a robot named Clank that meets a mechanic named Ratchet. The two soon set out to save the planet and form a friendship bound. Sounds simple but the dialog between the two and in the game keep you interested.
There are also some side things that you can do in the game to get the best out of your playtime. The golden bolts (which I mentioned before) are one. They are throughout the game in secret areas that you can discover as you play. What is nice about this quest is that on the universe map when you pick your planet you want to travel to, it will tell you if there are any gold bolts on the planet and how many there are. This allows you to not waste your time looking for something that is not there. The universe map also gives you a list of missions that you need to complete on that planet. There are also skill points that you can earn throughout the game. You do a number of things and earn a skill point for example killing so many creatures with only your ratchet as a weapon.
The weapons you use can also be leveled up. That makes using them all the more fun. They will change names and sometimes there ability. It can be a lot of fun to just run around killing things for extra bolts and get stronger weapons in the process. Also some of the weapons abilities just make you chuckle as you use them.
This game also proves to be fun for more then one time around. Once you beat the game and it is over, you don't think okay let's get rid of it and find another game to beat. You add it to your collection and it is fun the third, fifth, or tenth time you have played it. It does not get boring.
This game is one of my favorites and will probably remain that way for a while.

Oh My God!!!
This dvd workout kicks your A**! I am no picture of health and I ordered it so that I could get in shape and burn as much calories and fat as possible. I was thinking about taking a class for bootcamp so I decided to try it at home before then. So glad that I did that because I could not keep up with the whole workout. I would start the work out and go as long as I could each time and the first time I only made it twenty minutes out of the hour. Everytime I do it I can go a little bit longer every time. I would suggest for beginners like me to either do my method or do the exercises in the sections one at a time since this workout does have them divided into smaller bits. I just like to challenge myself and see how long I can go. I would also think that anyone that is more advance them myself would also have a good workout. I also used my calorie counter and with only the twenty minutes that I could do I burned 200 calories! Which means if I would have been able to do the whole workout that would be 800 calories. This workout works!

Love this video!
2 of 2 found this helpful I ordered this to get myself in shape because my workouts are becoming boring. Jari Love has a complete full body workout. I am more of a beginner and the first time I tried it I pretended to have weights and it still worked my muscles. Jari Love was very positive and encouraging the whole time that it was easy to do the workout and push myself. She also takes the time to do stretches after each exercise to prevent injuries. The last section of the workout was nothing but stretches which was nice for giving yourself a chance to cool down. Also in the background she had her helpers do easy and modified versions of every exercise so that you can see it on all levels. That was very helpful.
I disliked the space between the exercises where they told you the proper ways to do each movement. I understand that it necessary but I felt they could have made a section on the dvd for that.
All and all I do not regret buying this dvd workout and I just might check into her other series. But if you are looking for an aerobic type workout this video is not for you. This is a weight lighting video and you need five pound dumbbells. This workout is challenging but you do not have to be advanced in order to do. If I managed to do it then anyone could.
