Advantages: Great Game. Different types of Races.
Disadvantages: Races can get Really tough

...Midtown Madness 3 was the very 1st game I played on my x-box, and it still is my favourite. In this game there is a huge variety of races to complete. You can work undercover, you can take part in single races and you can play with friends on Multiplayer. You can chose from Mini Coopers to Garbage Trucks to race with. And in each of the game types you can chose where you want to race. There is a huge selection of races in both Washington and Paris. Working Undercover. In this section you get assignments to different jobs. In each job you get three races. Once you complete all of the three races you unlock a new job and a bonus race of the same job. Jobs vary from Pizza deliverer to Limousine driver to a Paramedic. Single Racing. In Single Racing you can choose to Cruise, Blitz or Checkpoint. Cruise is what it says, you cruise... Read review

Advantages: Great multiplayer, nice one player
Disadvantages: can get tedious in the one player

...I borrowed this off a mate in 1998, and he hasn't had it back yet! This involves some of the characters from the Nintendo games throughout Nintendo's life - Diddy, Yoshi, and Mario to name but a few! Cuteness aside, this is a great little race em up! The one player game is an adventure where you race to win balloons, which let you into different races. There are also trophy races where you race all four races in a Zone, and win a trophy for winning all the races. This game comes into its' own in the multiplayer. You can race upto three of your mates in the races in the adventure. You can have weapons to sabotage your friends, and win the race. My personal favourite are the 'Last Man Standing' Games, where you have to destroy each other. The graphics are good. The sounds are cute. I would recommend buying this, especially since...

...This course gives a very interesting spin on concepts of race and ethnicity. It teaches the history of colonialism and imperialism, ethnicity and globalization, and theories of race and ethnicity. By taking this course, which is an MA, it has enabled me to see how the idea of race has been embedded in our society even though the concept of biological race does not exsist. The course is thouroughly enjoyable and opens up lively debate, as race permeates into many aspects of society. The advantages of this course is the ability to look at things analytically instead of taking things at face value. It makes you realise that how something fictional and socially constructed can permeate society at every level.... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant depth and playability
Disadvantages: None a perfect game

...Gran Turismo 2 is the best and most realistic game around today and boy is it good! you start the game of with £10,000 to buy a car with to start racing, there are then a couple of tracks to race your new car round. But to race in the championships and big races you need to pass your driving test well infact there are 4 to pass with each pass comes a load of extra races for you to race in. The races normally have 6 cars in and can last 2 or 3 laps, then there are rallys to compete in and also in GT tradition endurance races which can last up to a couple of hours. When you win a race you are credited with some money and sometimes you win a new car. When you race the differant cars you will notice that they respond and feel differant. To be more competitive in a race you can upgrade your car in various differant ways from the brake... Read review

Advantages: over 30 licensed cars, good voice acting, different racing types
Disadvantages: Brake assist, no car damage, story mode is over too quickly

...With so much competition in the racing game genre R Racing doesnt stand out. The car physics look arcade and the story mode is good, you race many different cars as you progress through the game. There are so many well done arcade racing games on sale and the developers of R: Racing Evolution know it. They have made a good effort to make this game different from other racing games, however despite the innovation, it is the basics of racing the game fails to deliver. Aside from the story mode there are several other modes including : Time Attack, Event Challenge, Vs. mode, and an Arcade mode. In story mode you play the role of Reena an ambulance driver and racecar driver. This mode contains 14 chapters in total and has a great storyline. The story is told through still pictures and full motion scenes. One problem with the Racing Life... Read review

Advantages: Great fun to watch, you will never have seen anything like it.
Disadvantages: Can take a while to clear up after a race (especially after a caravan race).

...A sport that is not talked about much is 'banger racing' This is normaly the last journey a car goes on (unless they are fortunate to be used for more than one race meeting). Depending on the prize money on offer, sometimes some wonderfully prepared cars turn up. The best cars are the old Jaguars, the old 3 litre granadas and some of the old big japanese cars. Depending on the race though sometimes they have under 2 litre or under 1300cc classes. Banger racers are carefully prepared cars which the drivers can spend hours working on before the race. Banger racing has to be one of the best forms of motorsport to watch live, allthough it is a bit sad when you see an old Rolls or classic car being banger raced, allthough last year at my local track (ringwood raceway) they had a great hearse and limo banger race. If you have never seen... Read review

Advantages: graphics. tracks, cars
Disadvantages: none

...Toca two offers Hi-res graphics, remodelled tracks, easy controls and real visual damage. The game is fantastic as there are a variety of tracks and cars to chose from. Also there is a two player option with is excellent. Included in the games is superb sound like explosions and the smashing of glass. Also there are multiple difficulty levels in the game.

Advantages: Lots of Horse Racing most days
Disadvantages: Twenty Pounds per Month or £200 per year.

...If your a fan of horse racing and youve got digital, then the big question is do you fork out £20 per month for The Racing Channel or watch almost the same amount of racing for free on attheraces. You see, each of the two channels has the right to show the racing from different courses around Britain and atheraces also show most of the racing from Ireland and some from America too. At first glance £20 a month may seem a lot, especially when some of the Racing Channel races can also (especially on a saturday) be seen on channel four for free also. However I would still recommend the Racing Channel to you. That is because some of the bigger courses with the best racing can only be seen on that channel and although you may be able to see the big races on channel four the Racing Channel shows all the meeting with regular repeats of each...

Advantages: Very Realistic, Good Graphics, Very Hard
Disadvantages: Very Hard

...F1 Racing Simulation is a very good game, however it is difficult to master (it is a simulation not an arcade game). The graphics are excellent and the sense of speed is very good. All of the circuits are just like the real tracks and it takes a lot of practice to master just one track, I find it is best to first spend a lot of time in practice modes just trying to get a good time, when you manage good times practicing then you are ready to try a real race. As in real racing where a tiny mistakes cost a lot of time, the same applies in this simulation, therefore high concentration levels are required. I definately recommend the use of a steering wheel with this game. Anybody that is very serious about F1 racing should have this game.... Read review
