Accessories

Advantages: cheap, plenty to choose from
Disadvantages: staff seem miserable

...Claire's accessories is a shop for the females. It's mainly young children and teenagers that shop here but you do find older women here too. The shop sells:- hair accessories nail varnish belts purses jewellery and more You can also have your ears pierecd here too. I've been in the shop a couple of times now to buy hair accessories and nail varnish. There is a wide range of items to choose from in different colours. As soon as you go through the door though, they are lunging a hand basket at you. If you do not take one they do not seem too pleased about it either. When you are paying for your goods, they always ask if you want to buy the bargain of the day like a nail file. They do not seem to be satisfied with what you take to the counter at all. The shop is quite small but it does sell plenty of items. It...

Accessories and more

Advantages: good little accessories, good bargains
Disadvantages: crowded, staff not always pleasant

...I know a lot of people that when you say Claire's Accessories they would say oh that shop for teenagers but it isn't for them only, it's for girls in general. Females I should maybe say it sells a lot of things that are not too expensive but very nice still. From the branches I have been in I have seen them sell make-up, nail accessories, bags, books and so many things. This shop is not only in the UK because I saw t in America so I don't actually know where it started. One main thing I know this shop for is piercing ears they are trained I'm sure but I don't think I could trust anyone. They pierce ears usually right at the front of the shop and everyone can watch, they will probably be fine but they could do it away from the customers buying and I have heard that not all of the staff here actually know how to pierce. I love...

Island of Sporting Desire

Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games
Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote

...with the game is the fact that you are frequently asked to 're-calibrate' the MotionPlus controller, which involves laying it face down on a hard surface, and waiting for four or five seconds. Although it doesn't take long, this act is a little counterintuitive, and prevents a free-flowing gaming experience. All in all, I would highly recommend Wii Sports Resort which can currently be purchased for £39.95 including the MotionPlus accessory. Please have a look at the images I have uploaded, and take note of the similarity between myself and my computer controlled player! *I've also published this review on dooyoo under the username JJJJ*...

  Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

...multi-coloured and counts double. The Three on Three also works quite well with the simplicity of the buttons used to play making it quite fun. Table Tennis (Rating ***) Synopsis: Two games; (a) Match (one or two players each requiring a Wii remote) which, with the first to six points winning the game; and (b) Return Challenge (one to four players taking turns) where you compete to see how many balls you can return before missing. Game Experience: This is similar to tennis on Wii Sports, but again, the MotionPlus accessory makes more realistic and intricate spins and slices available as if you were holding a real ping pong bat. I enjoyed the Return Challenge more than playing against the computer AI in the Match version. However, it will be more fun when we get a second MotionPlus gadget so we can play each other...

Claire's untidy, expensive accessories

Advantages: No queues as they're never busy
Disadvantages: expensive and cluttered

...Claire's accessories moved to Harlow a few years ago, much to the delight of everyone as it was a welcome newcomer being that it was the first specialist hair-care and odds'n'ends shop in the town. Up until then we had to rely on a market stall or small ranges offered by various other shops and supermarkets. I give it fair ratings that the stuff they offer is in keeping with current trends, keeping today's girls whatever age kitted out in the fashion, but (always a but) the shop needs a little attention in the following areas: It's not just school age girlies who want to be trendy so how about making it a little less cluttered for us 'mumsies' to get a pushchair around inside without the worry of knocking the person next to you out with the swing of a Tesco's carrier? I've only got a single pushchair so I pity those with a double...

Enjoy 12 different sports on a tropical island!

Advantages: Great array of games, multi players, long playability
Disadvantages: None

...Enjoy 12 different sports on a tropical island. If Wii Sports is your kind of game then you will love the playability of Wii Sports Resort. THis game is one of the games that can be used with Wii Motion Plus which in my opinion enhances the game, makes your movements more realistic and ensures hours of fun for the whole family. This game is a for 7 years plus and I do find it very easy to navigate, set up and to play. Like I've said above it does remind me of the regular Wii Sports in that it includes golf and bowling and games similar to that which can be played by a number of players but in this game they have taken those platforms a step further and updated them as well as adding new fun games to play. In total their are 12 different games you can play. These are Swordplay, Wakeboarding, Frisbee, Archery, Basketball, Table Tennis...

  Wii should go to the Sports Resort!...

Advantages: Good for all the family, Great fun, Entertaining, Something to do on a rainy day
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Wii Sports Resort One special day last year, I woke up unusually early - it was even still dark outside. I just couldn?t wait to get downstairs and go into the living room, but I couldn?t - not just yet anyway. It?s something we always do in my family, we must all go downstairs at the same time, together. Not every morning! Just on this particular special day, so I called my mum and dad - my two younger sisters were already up, practically buzzing with excitement at the top of the stairs - and together we all walked, or rather sprinted into the living room. That special day of course, was Christmas day! Woohay! So, you?re probably wondering I wanted to tell you about this, aren?t you? Well, keep reading and you?ll find out? I love surprises, don?t you? Not knowing that something?s going to happen and then it does (as long...

Get active at Wii Sports Resort.......for a price!

Advantages: fun to play with family and friends, lots of game choices, some really fun games, multiplayer
Disadvantages: very expensive, some potentially boring games, not as well designed as it could be.

...Wii Sports Resort was my youngest brothers birthday present but for the purpose of research I decided to try it out myself. The game is for the Nintendo Wii and has a whopping recommended retail price of £49.99 although it is currently selling on Amazon for £39.99. This price includes the game and a ?Wii Motion Plus?. The Wii MotionPlus This is an accessory which attaches to your Wii Remote to enhance its motion sensing capabilities. It detects and reproduces your movements in the game, so whether you are playing basketball or doing some archery, every little movement you make is accurately portrayed in the game. The Wii MotionPlus is essential for game which is why it is included but its inclusion automatically makes the game a pricey one which is a bit of a shame. Whilst you only need one Wii Motion Plus for single...

A Range of Accessories but It's Too Small!

Advantages: a large range of accessories, good bags
Disadvantages: the shop is too small, it's overpriced for what it is

...Claires Accessories is a shop MORE for teenagers but adults and younger children do tend to find something in there to their liking. I'm not a regular shopper at Claires and when I go shopping I normall y just have a quick browse and leave or buy something. Layout and Presentation Claires Accessories is a very small shop and it is filled to the brim with accessories. Every single wall is covered with shelfs or hooks with bags and other things hung on them. Theres also rotating display racks with loads of earings. The lighiting is okay, it's not too bright nor is it dim. It's a bit claustrophobic exspecially when it's crowded. Presentation wise, it's a bit messy and staff could put a bit more effort into keeping the shop tidy. Selection and Range There is a range of accessories in Claires, these are bracelets, neclaces, earings...

sports resort got me active!!!!

Advantages: great fun, great multiplayer capabilities
Disadvantages: possibly the price but other than that nothing!!!!

...more sports to play it is powered by the new wii motion plus. The wii motion plus accessory has to be attached at all times whilst playing wii sports resort, but its well worth investing in as the difference in playing is brilliant. The wii motion plus accessory mirrors your movements quite accurately giving you very fine motion control which serves to enhance your enjoyment of the wii substantially!! The price for wii sports resort with the wii motion plus ranges between £35-50. For my personal copy of the game with the wii motion plus accessory i paid £40, which i didn't think was too bad considering the fun and enjoyment you get out of the game. I honestly haven't been able to find a bad thing to say about this game. It ticks every one of my boxes that i am looking to tick when investing in a new game for the wii:- 1.) It has a wide...
