A musical for non-musical fans
I hate musicals, I avoid them like the plague. My daughter decided to put this on and I ended up sitting and watching the whole thing by myself, she wandered off to play.
This is a musical that even the haters of musicals I think would enjoy. The only reason I can see why I didn't mind and actually liked some of the songs is the irony and sarcasm that was inherent in the songs and in the acting whilst they were singing. Normally, the people singing, whether it's a happy or sad song, have those insane asylum grins plastered to their faces, which make you feel uncomfortable. The songs were catchy, warning, they stay with you for days.
The story line was good, I enjoyed it. The acting was very good and the singing not that bad. I was surprised to find out Hugh Jackman was the leading man, I didn't recognise him at all at first. Took me a while to figure our that it was Zac Effron supporting too.
The costumes and make-up were fantastic and the actual shows were really good to watch. I would love to know what they would've been like at the real Barnum circus, as well as what the real relationships were within the troupe. Intrigued me enough that I am going to put my history at uni to use and research it.
I think if you take a chance and watch this, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Fun gameplay (2 more)
Very funny moments
So many references
Repetitive (1 more)
Some of the challenges are annoying
Purely fun....superpowers galore!!!
So I have just completed this game and I found it to be a ton of fun.
I mean, come on, you get superpowers. How can it not be fun. I do feel however that these have made it so cars are pretty much obselete. What's the point if you can super sprint or jump over tall buildings?
The map is descent sized and there are many things you can do but these get too repetitive after a while. Personally its the story and side missions especially where it excels.
It feels like they make fun of themselves and video games in general. You get a ton of references especially from the matrix and a mission where they are solely making fun of things like call of duty and metal gear solid. They are not subtle and I feel they have finally found their stride.
They have embraced cheesiness and craziness.....dildo bat anyone? A dubstep gun that makes everyone dance to death? Go on then
Don't go into this expecting a serious game. The customisation can go as crazy as you want, it pulls no punches. The dlc packs include are insane and I have big expectations for the future.
It's not the greatest game I've ever played by far but it's so much fun to just kick back and switch your mind off for a few hours.

Loved it!

Ashlee Morrison has a secret obsession—with a dark and mysterious male. The only problem is that he’s a wolf and she’s becoming convinced that she’s insane. But Ashlee’s wolf is no ordinary canine; he is Tristan Kane, third son in the royal family of the Westervelt Wolf pack.
Trapped in his wolf form by his evil father’s men, Tristan has desperately sought a way out of predicament and is shocked to find that the sad but beautiful redhead who has come to the wolf cage can not only hear him, but awakens in him the knowledge that she is his mate, the other half of his soul.
Ashlee, unaware that she is half wolf-shifter, agrees to accompany Tristan back to his pack in Maine to seek answers to her past and understand her future. But as Tristan and Ashlee grow closer, familial betrayals will threaten to destroy the fragile love they have started to build.
With the odds stacked against them, Ashlee and Tristan will either embrace their love to save the Westervelt Wolves or be lost forever to despair.
<strong>Brilliant</strong>
I was looking forward to this as other books of Rebecca's I've enjoyed. This one has to be my favourite so far! I loved the whole concept of it. It was told brilliantly especially for her her first published book. I really enjoyed the conversation between Ash and her wolf. I'm very much looking forward to reading the test of the series !
