Good Morning Scott, my son is the assistant manager of the local Funcoland. He knows his games and what is good and what is not. A little background; he was in 5th or 6th grade (sorry i can't remember) when he got Mortal Combat 2 for Christmas. In 2 days he had beaten it with all the players. He has gone on and done some testing and evaluations for various game manufacturers. He has bought and sold every game system out there (we bought the first one and after that we have not spent a penny on them). Now he has all the popular ones at home and plays what ever he likes. I have spoke with him and he is willing to email him. We live is St Cloud so getting together might be a bit tough (between his school and work schedule). -- cYa John Don't give up.
