I got the ME2 for a friend's daughter for her birthday. She loves it! She is constantly riding her bike around to earn points for the game. I think this was a great buy.

The concept of tying in actual physical exercise to a video game is a great concept; however, this product is not so great. The first one I ordered through Amazon was DOA. Although the unit would turn on and make noise, the LCD screen was defective, meaning you couldn't see anything on it. I returned it via Amazon's great return service.

I bought two more of the units on clearance from a local retailer for both of my sons; however, while both of the units would power on, neither one would connect to the website to register the unit and play the game. Needless to say, I returned both of those units to the store for a refund.

Furthermore, even if you were able to connect the unit to the internet, there is a disclaimer on the instructions stating that the company holds the right to discontinue website access in January 2010. Don't waster your time or money on this piece of junk.

We purchased this for my son's 10 yr old birthday. He loved it the 1st 3 days (but NONE since!). He rides his bike to school everyday and is still not interested in using it. The set up was easy, he did by himself. I think the game itself is not fun enough. Cool concept, though. Maybe Nintendo needs to purchase to remake for the DS!

I don't know what we did or didn't do, but we never could get the crazy thing to work right. I thought it would be so great for my son to get active, all we did was sit in front of the computer to figure things out.

I cant imagine why anyone would want this when i try to connect it to the internet it tells me the download is complete. but it doesnt do anything. I cant create my avatar i cant play games on the internet

The website's a little slow on the uptake. Had problems registering one of my kid's me2 and had to reregister under a different name because it captured the original name we used. Other than that, the kids like the games (although their pretty basic) and getting the points. The vendor I purchased them from had a great price compared to other amazon and local vendors.

The clip that holds the Me2 is horrible. My 10 yr old really likes this, but the Me2 kept falling off the clip (even when just WALKING), resulting in something cracked on the inside that makes it impossible to see the games on the Me2 itself. He can still play on-line, but is very disappointed that he can't see whats on the screen. I suggest you put a velcro strap around it when using it on the clip.

Also can't get hold of anybody at Me2universe OR itoys Inc. for help with this matter. otherwise, great game!

My child was very excited to receive this for Christmas. However, he was very disappointed when he attempted to download games after completing the required amount of steps and the system would not download the games to his ME2.
