Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless
Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING

...This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped. The packages comes in 3 separate parts: >Wheel >Pedals >Table attachement WHEEL: The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel...

Race Driver: GRID

Advantages: Graphics, sound, gameplay
Disadvantages: No split screen multi-player

...Race Driver: Grid captures the atmosphere of every race, from the starting grid to the finishing flag. It's spectacular graphics set it apart from the rest with realistic and licensed cars that make the game as thrilling as it is. When you first start the career mode you set in an American muscle car race in the streets of Detroit. Your aim obviously to win the race but, this is the first time that you see the extent of the graphics and realistic sound effects. After finishing this race you have to race for other teams so you can gain enough money to refurbish your Ford Mustang Boss to mint condition. Once you have done this you are able to create your own team,this allowing you to enter any race that you wish, which you have a car for, as you work your way through you gain enough moeny to buy different cars.

a racing zebra??

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: n/a

...I watched this film one Sunday afternoon and I could not believe that I had not seen it before this was a great children's film and was very entertaining. Just when you think your eyes are deceiving you yes it really is, it's a Zebra and he is really cute. This film like all animal films has animals that can talk. The film begins when a travelling circus accidently leaves a zebra in Kentucky on a miserable stormy night. The zebra is later found by Nolan Walsh played by Bruce Greenwood, a horse trainer who's given up his job after a riding accident killed his wife, his daughter Channing played by Hayden Panettiere who wants to be a jockey like her mum when she grows up, although her dad has other ideas for her, she decides to name the zebra Stripes who is voiced by Frankie Muniz. Stripes then grows up and as he lives near race...

Review of Lego Police: Police Motorcycle

Racing stripes, Always follow your dreams.

Advantages: Lots of fun and entertainment.
Disadvantages: Can be predictable and farfetched.

Review of Racing Stripes (DVD)

The race is on

Advantages: Brilliant fun family film, would make a great Disney ride!
Disadvantages: Not a classic

...either but human form is more realistic than robot. He looked more like something out of Star Wars and I just felt this didn't fit with the general idea of aliens that the film carried. Race to Witch Mountain is a remake of the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain which has been modernised to create a much more exciting and adventurous film. With Disney's spark of magic, and lots of action and special effects, this makes a brilliantly fun movie which will be entertaining for the whole family to watch. As I was watching the film I could just imagine what a perfect name and ride this would make at the Disney parks so I'm hoping that it will spring up somewhere within the next few years! Running time: 98 minutes Certificate rating: PG Director: Andy Fickman...

Review of XG3: Extreme G Racing (GameCube)

Motorcycle racing at its best

Advantages: Close racing, with machines that the fans can relate to
Disadvantages: Wether the weather will be good or wether it will be bad

...This wil be a review of two parts The first being about the venue itself, and then the thoughts of the world superbike round that took place. Silverstone race circuit - Northamptonshire -UK ----------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a long time since I have been to watch motor racing at Silverstone, and that was when a friend took myself to see the GT touring cars. (Torrential rain and gusting winds). I do remember the access roads being appaling, pothole ridden cart tracks which jarred your teeth every few yards. Both into and out of the circuit. Parking in a quagmire, we had to squelch our way to the entry gate, then we trudged to the grandstands to get a decent view of the start finish straight. Getting there: ------------------ Silverstone is located close to Towcester, not far from...

Review of World Superbikes Silverstone Circuit UK

The new age of racing is here

Advantages: Amazing graphics and audio, stunning and immersive environments, different racing styles
Disadvantages: Will take time to get used to each car

...Race Driver Grid is an excellent new offering from those who used to offer us up the TOCA racing games all those years back. This is a terrific game with numerous different racing styles, glorious graphics, amazing audio and such an addictive speed about it. The racing varieties available mean that every racer should be covered and with a different feel to each different racing variety you never get bored or feel like you understand the full dynamics of the game. I truly love the replays and once you have raced hard and come first you have the joys of the replay showing it and how accurate your driving style is with the numerous movements of the front wheels but the part that now makes this game even more amazing is that you build points as you gain results which adds such a new slant on this game style that it is likely to open this...
