Advantages: Good value, you effectively get the games for free

Disadvantages: The games aren't great, more for children

I was in the market for a new wireless Xbox 360 controller. The wireless feature was particularly imporant for me. These type of controllers will normlly setyou back between £30 and £40. Then I saw ths entertainment pack which featured a wireless controller with two Xbox games available on ebay for only £39.99. I couldn't believe what a bargain price it was, so was naturally concerned about its validaty. However, after a few emails I was happy to make the purchase.

Firs of all let talk about the controller. It is the standard Xbox 360 controller, which as it is wireless, needs two AA batteries to power it. These batteries are not supplied in the pack, so you will have to buy them separately. However, this extra cost is well worth it when you when you are free of any long wires dangling across your living room floor.

The controller is solidly made and appears to be very durable. I have droppd it a number of times, but is hasn't damaged the functionality of it.

The two games that come in the pack are Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda. Not the greatest games that the Xbox has to offer, but they would cost at least £19.99 each, when sold separately, so you are effectively saving between £30 and £40. The Kung Fu Panda game is more for children, but I have found the Indiana game highly addictive. I think I find it appealing as it goes through many of the scenarios out of the films, which I absolutely love. Being able to identify with thes films adds to the enjoyment.

I have never watched the Kung Fu Panda films. Perhaps if I did I would find the game a little more appealing. I might give them a go.

One thing that annoyed me slightly was the picture used for advertising it. It shows the two games, in two separate boxes. However, when I opened the package both games were in the same multipack box. I don't mind them being in the same box, it is the fact that I was misled to believe they were separate by the entertainment pack itself.

Very poor in my opinion, which is why I only give i three out of five Dooyoo star.

Thanks for reading

Summary: Keep the controller and give the games away as a present
