Good Concept
1 of 1 found this helpful Loose "Kill Rags" are hard to deploy and keep track of. With this captive all-in-one unit mounted to our helmets, it is always where it's supposed to be, easily deployed, and quickly "reloaded" for the next round.

LEGO Stars Wars - 10 of 5 Stars
I have been a big fan of George Lucas' Star Wars since Episode IV. When LEGO Star Wars was released, I could hardly wait to get it. It was NOT disappointing! My whole family plays it, and plays it, and plays it.
LucasArts put a lot of thought into the game. You begin by running around, blasting everything in sight, collecting points, and solving puzzles to get through each level. Then after you've completed a level, you can go back and play it again, for more rewards and more puzzles to solve, all in the quest of achieving Master Jedi status. Tip: don't pull your hair out trying to reach Master Jedi status on the first run through of each level, the programmers designed it so that you have to go through each level at least twice.
Even though you will die, the only real penalty is the loss of points. After you have earned enough points, you can buy all kinds of cheats, including "invincibility."
Team play is available, as well. It can be a little frustrating if the two players don't communicate, though. Because team play is full screen and if the two players walk off in different directions, it will limit where the players can go and typically causes needless death. That's not to say that if you're playing for pure entertainment, it's sometimes fun to get your partner wasted so they lose points and you "win" the round. Tip: a neat feature, players can opt-in and -out of the game at will.
The game is fun, challenging, and extremely entertaining. Although it is a shoot-em-up, the carnage is appropriately animated and suitable for all age levels with proper parental guidance. My son, who was 5 at the time and suffers from acute ADHD, enjoys the game and I firmly believe that it has helped in his "recovery" by helping to focus him on tasks.
There is plenty to do in this game - simply completing each level is only a small part of it. Earning points, buying cheats and extras, solving puzzles, finding hidden extras, building space ships, or just entertaining yourself in the cantina, LEGO Star Wars is a game that you'll enjoy for hours, time and again.
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, LEGO Star Wars II came along with even more features and a hidden game within the game. GET 'EM BOTH!

Good Camera, Great Value
I am very pleased with this camera. This camera supports multiple resolutions, so it will work if I have to upgrade our older DVR.
The daylight color mode is very good and sharp, and it autoswitches to B/W for night mode. The IR illuminator is functional and provides sufficient range for the sensor.
The metal construction makes it durable and suitable for outdoor use. It mounts easily and is easy to adjust it's aim.
The lens is for area coverage, and the ball disassembles to access the lens for focusing, or exchange to another focal length lens.
I expect to get many years of quality service.
