Under NEON Loneliness, Extreme G-Bike Emptiness

Advantages: Some stunning track designs, top techno tunes, sense of speed
Disadvantages: Frame-rate issues, too fast? sole player modes could be better realised

...*A review of Extreme G for the N64 which primarily focuses on the single-player experience.* As a futuristic racer, Extreme G is fairly forgiving; should the G-Bike fall off the course it's recovered, and when the shields are low this equates to a greater speed loss when hit by enemy fire, so no elimination in the game. However, there's no sabotaging the race either! Extreme G is a lightning quick racing game, though perhaps too fast for it's own good. The handling is tricky to get a feel for, yet the loss in momentum seems minor when driving against the track barriers. Also, not only is there the obvious fogging, but the frame-rate takes a knock whenever the action gets a touch hectic. It's no wonder, as the tracks are immensely varied. There are moments when, with the roller-coaster-like course designs, you'll be seemingly...

Extreme Repairs

Advantages: smells nice, works
Disadvantages: pricey

...patented technologies which they now have up to 60 of worldwide. So on, they built up a brand which today is worldwide known and salon trusted with many salon?s choosing to use Redken as their key line of products. The packaging of the shampoo is quite nice as all the different sub ranges of Redken are colour packaged so that you know where you are buying them from. The range I have been using is the ?Extreme? range which is in the blue bottles. They are in a royal blue plastic bottle which is easy to see the levels of. The front of the bottle just has the Redken logo on it, it comes in a 300ml bottle which is actually not a bad size compared to other brands. The Extreme range is particularly aimed at distressed hair. On the back it states that Redken Extreme Shampoo gently cleanses and helps restore distressed hair. Its exclusive...

2 Extreme For It's Own Good?

Advantages: Nice graphics, cool supersonic sensation
Disadvantages: Frame rate issues, poorly realised modes

...*A review of Extreme G 2 (or XG2) for the N64 which primarily focuses on the single-player experience.* The 'Extreme Contest' (racing in a field of eight) was a let-down, as in Extreme G. The player is required to finish strongly to qualify for the next race - so strongly that the points will have them top the table. It is 'extreme' in that sense, but it's not really a contest when, as leader, there is the risk of being disqualified. But where there has been change has not been for the better. The 'Shoot Em Up' mode - destroying drone targets for a race duration - has now become 'Arcade' mode, but they may as well have called it 'Sh*t Em Up' as the lack of a limit of laps means it's point system seems pointless and is purely for practice (of which it's no substitute for the real thing). As if the slight performace problems in...

G For Good But Not Great

Advantages: Strong sense of speed, smooth graphics, excellent rain effects
Disadvantages: Somewhat artificial challenge and length, low replay value

...*A review of XG3: Extreme-G Racing which primarily focuses on the single-player experience.* PRESENTATION Short loading times despite being based on CD, and fast when dealing with memory card. Not so quick when navigating cycle menus where other options are not obviously apparent. Also, quicker to read about the teams from instruction manual than from slowly-scrolling text in-game. Third time lucky - at last a console that fits, so an Extreme G game without significant performance problems. Graphically, it's smooth, but rough at the edges - bike "clips" in bumps and jumps, glitches when weapon-firing and the way in which it crashes and burns falling off-circuit feels rushed. However, backdrops to the courses are neat, with the circuits - varying from oval design to over-the-top twists and loops low into the ocean - passing through...

Apple Iphone 3G 8GB

Advantages: A great piece of hardware with unlimited possiblilities.
Disadvantages: Can't delete pre installed apps

...I have been a customer of O2 for many years now and so after resisting as long as I could I finally gave in and got the Apple Iphone 3G on contract. I have to say I have no regrets! The Iphone 3G is a completley touchscreen phone with internet capabilities. Not only can the phone connect to wifi signals it is also permanently connected via your network provider, all the while you have signal anyway! I find that the speed of the internet on this phone is sufficient for what I use it for (train times, facebook, emails etc), it get's a bit faster when connected to wifi rather then your network providers internet but to be honest I find the normal 3G speed is fine for me. The great thing about the phone is the applications you can add; the phone can be completly tailored to you and becomes unique for everyone! There are plenty of free apps...

Extremely Great(Racing)-3

Advantages: Excellent visuals; fitting soundtrack; very fast sense of speed; fast and furious gameplay is fun.
Disadvantages: Quite challenging; soundtrack can be repetitive at times; a little lack of modes.

...-(Game Information)- Name:Extreme G-3 Published and developed by Acclaim Genre:Futuristic Racing Release Date:May 3, 2002 Age Rating:3+ for mild violence Number Of Players:1-4 Online:No Memory Card Usage:6 blocks -(History)- Acclaim were quite a mixed company. It had many great games, like the original Turok games, Aggressive Inline and Extreme G-3, yet they had some less than stellar games. They had a track record for not doing so well on licensed games like South Park on the original Playstation. In 2004, Acclaim filed for bankruptcy. First released on the N64, the Extreme Racing series has been one of Acclaims main brands, competing well with Sony's famous Wipeout series. The first was a success, the second was disappointing, the third was another success and the fourth (and final) one was pretty average. -(The...

Apple iPhone 3G

Advantages: A great phone
Disadvantages: None, in my opinion!

...So, as I?m sure everyone on here who has an iPhone has done, here?s my review on this little beauty?just by that you can already guess, I?m a fan of this! After my last contract with o2 expired three months back, I had the choice to renew everything and seeing as there was a distinct lack of phones available with o2 (in hindsight, I would have perhaps opted to look at the phones available with contracts provided by the Carphone Warehouse) I bit the bullet and went for the iPhone 3G 8GB version?the 3GS was available, but I?m not made of money and lets be honest, to pay that much extra for a bit more storage space, voice control and a video camera is not worth it in my honest opinion. I?m sure you?re all aware of what it looks like, but if not it?s a touch screen operated phone which is a glossy black little number. A smooth back cover...

extreme makeover

Advantages: happy endings to stories
Disadvantages: hyper hosts

...Extreme makeover does exactly what it says on the tin so to speek, it is a show that completely rebuilds a new house. The show is made in America and is aired on sky tv on uk style channel 246 and 247 and is on at various times most days. The programme starts off by showing you the families homes before the makeover and the conditions they put up with and live in, some are really bad. The host Ty and his crew then show you what the plans for the new home. Then they call in the bulldozers and completely demolish the house, I love this part of the show it just get stuck in and ripped to pieces. You are then shown the start of the new building, which doesnt take them long at all, not like it would be in England it would take us months to build!! It is now time for the big reveal, the families are taken round their brand new...
