Well thought out racing game for DS - Ferrari Challenge

Advantages: Lots of gameplay, easy to just pick up and play
Disadvantages: Gets a bit repetitive eventually

...Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is a racing game for the Nintendo DS. There are similar titles released for other consoles such as the Playstation 3, but this is a separately written game and has lots of good things about it. In terms of the game play, getting into the game is quite easy as the controls are easy to master. There is also a long and comprehensive tutorial section of the game so that you can get used to the car handling. Both text appears on the screen and there are audio clips to help you learn what the best racing line is and how to approach some of the corners. When playing you can get extra points for keeping the right driving line, taking corners effectively and also for smooth overtaking. To master the game takes longer, as you will have to become very experienced with each track and really have to race each track...

Review of Ferrari Challenge (Nintendo DS)

Ferrari F355 Challenge - D1A1UK Was Wrong!!

Advantages: Great graphics, cool cars, good soundtrack
Disadvantages: More tracks?

...[Review can now also be found on my website - www.ps2-central.co.uk] As the previous review from D1A1UK suggested that Ferrari 360 Challenge won't ever be released on PS2, he was wrong! It was released 2 or 3 years ago under the name "Ferrari F355 Challenge". This game is the exact port from the arcades. When i played this game in the arcades, I loved it to bits. Now that it has made to the PS2, I still love it. It has the exact amount of tracks that were available on the arcades, the same Ferrari cars to choose from and the same high quality graphics. The PS2 version has 4 modes: Arcade, Champiosnhip, Great Driver Challenge and Versus Play. Playing in Arcade is the exact copy of the Arcade version of the game. Playing against vehicles on numerous tracks and complete the race within the time limit. Champiosnhip is driving...

Review of Ferrari 360 Challenge (PS2)

Ferrari WIN Championship title in Malaysia

Advantages: fine racing car, good build, good performance, grip, handling
Disadvantages: not many, may not have as much straight line speed as Mclarens..yet

...01.01.2001 update This opinion was written immediately after Ferrari won the Championship in October 2000, and relates to the events and feelings that unfolded in Sepang during the winning moments. ---------------------------------------------------- Already a Triple World Champion after winning at Japan 2 weeks ago, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello finished 1st and 3rd at Malaysia today. This ensured that Ferrari won the constructors Championship well ahead of Mclaren. The Mclaren’s got of too a good start but due to Mika’s stop/go penalty, Mika was not able to finish on the podium despite fighting his way through the field and came 4th. However, David Coulthard had an exciting race chasing race leader, Michael Schumacher during the last few laps of the race. After a close race, he was not able to...

Review of Ferrari

The fall and rise of Ferrari.

Advantages: Plenty of cash.
Disadvantages: None.

...Ferrari have the longest tradition in the sport of Formula One Motor Racing, being founded by Enzo Ferrari and having competed in every Grand Prix since 1950, when the official world championship started. Ferrari used to be a great team winning more titles than any other. Since the late 1970's though, they have struggled with reliability being their main problem. Nigel Mansell helped to turn things around in 1991, winning several races for them, and the title would have been won if it were a more reliable car. Now that Schumacher is on board, and Ferrari have finally overcome this reliability problem the title is there for the taking. Barrichello is a good number two driver for the team and Jean Todt has a good brain when it comes to race strategy. Having contested 655 Grands Prix they are the most succesful team in...

Brain Challenge (DS)

Advantages: Nice games! They are quite addictive and fun for once
Disadvantages: Makes you feel like a big loser

...We all know about Brain-busting games. If you like them, then you would have probably own/owned a Brain Training game, like games that show your very own Brain Age. Well, the thing is about Brain Challenge is that it doesn't show your Brain Age. But no, it shows how much percent of your brain you use instead. At the start of the game, it says that people only use about 10% of their brain. Which is true. But what isn't true is that when you do Brain Challenge, your brain rises in percent. If human beings only use 10% of their brain then why do player of Brain Challenge use more? Anyway. There is one big main disadvantage that puts you off the whole game. Which is why I don't play it any more. It makes you feel like a big loser. Now, it may just be me - not having the time or intelligence to be good at the games on here, but all...

Review of Brain Challenge (Nintendo DS)

My middle name is Ferrari.....

Advantages: Looks good in red !!
Disadvantages: Wide

...This is THE review I?ve been itching to write, and as I?m such a reserved person as Sue26 will tell you, her I go !!! Ferrari is one of the most evocative names in the world, but their cars are more refined in appearance, you have to be a very ?in your face? person to drive a Lamborghini. A Ferrari is speed and elegance epitomised and embodies the ethos of it?s founder Enzo Ferrari. Ferrari in this country is looked after by Ferrari U.K. (Maranello Concessionaires Ltd.) The web site is www.Ferrari.co.uk, and is well worth a visit by all car enthusiasts. The U.K. company was founded by Colonel R.J. ?Ronnie? Hoare, a man of great vision who made the U.K. one of the largest markets foe Ferrari cars. Now, to diverge for a minute, Mike Hawthorn was Britain?s first motor racing world champion, and on winning the 1958 title at the wheel...

Review of Ferrari 550 Maranello 

Ferraris? Monks? I was sold just from the title!!!

Advantages: uplifting, interesting
Disadvantages: short,

...and memorable characters, interesting stories, comedy, tragedy and above all it offers inspiration and encouragement to consider life choices a little more deeply. As you read the book through, you feel transported on the same journey as our ferrari owning monk protagonist, and I found myself stopping after each chapter to consider what I might have learnt from its content. It certainly put a smile on my face and a skip in my step, would reccomed to anybody! :)...

Review of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari - Robin S. Sharma

Ferrari, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Advantages: Looks good, functions brilliantly, v.v.v.v.loud speakers :-)
Disadvantages: Gets very very hot, poor cooling and air flow, bit dated technologically :-(

...I bought mine on ebay for £360, I needed it for university study and it's working really well for small documents like word and excel and it will also play some games well, mainly Unreal Tournament online :-) The disk space of 60GB is plenty for me. The main reason I bought it was because a friend of mine had bought a new Acer computer and when we wanted to watch videos or listen to music the sound on it was like a whisper even at full volumn, the Ferrari however is really really loud!!! For its age I think it is really good, it looks good and the keyboard and pad are easy and comfortable to use, but as the other reviewer said it does heat up a lot, and the fan is on full power most of the time, I am going to hopefully solve this problem by buying a cooling pad to fit underneath it with extra fans hopefully it will run a lot...

Review of Acer Ferrari 3000LMi

Never gets out of second gear

Advantages: Fair sense of speed, longer than most Mega-Drive racers, lots of circuits
Disadvantages: Jerky, unconvincing racing, poor A.I, dreadful sound, no real cars, inferior to it's competition...

...environments, developers had to create an illusion of speed, motion and a third dimension when the technology would only allow for two. This had been the case for years, and had thrown up some mixed results. Back to 1992, and the benchmark for Mega-Drive racers was Sega’s own classic Super Monaco GP, a game that was clearly the source of much inspiration for Ferrari GP Challenge. But put simply, everything Super Monaco GP got right, Ferrari GP Challenge managed to get wrong. Things start well enough – the array of options available is impressive; not least the ability to fine tune your cars setup, an option not offered by any of the games rivals. Menus are nice enough, and very easy to navigate, and it’s up to the player to decide whether they wish to get straight down to the racing, or tinker around with the car settings to...
