Excite Trucks Wii'ly good racing

Advantages: Great Tracks, changeable music, great moves and use of Wii Remote
Disadvantages: A Little too short

...through trees without hitting any, particularly good when you have a 'POW' Powerup, which means you can go through anything apart from walls without crashing. Truck Smash (and Super Truck Smash) - Batter the hell out of your competitors trucks to earn stars! Excite Race Compete against 5 CPU Racers to try and come first. It may take a little while to get use to the movement of the trucks because they tend to slide of course alot and it can cause difficulty in sudden movements. Aim to achieve a 'C' grade or higher to begin with and then later after you have progressed through the cups you will be asked to go back and complete them to a higher grade. A variety of terrains including very, hot dry terrain compared to rivers and snow slopes. However there are only a limited amount of tracks to complete. Challenge Try to complete challenges...

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...

Review of Wader Basics Tow Truck

*No truck with this .

Advantages: A good read.
Disadvantages: No longer with us.

.... Here lies the body of a good read, TRUCK Magazine was one of the stalwarts of the mags we all seemed to like, it was published for thirty years. and the last ever copy was printed in September 2004. Ciao have listed this as not having been reviewed, so I feel I must take the opportunity of putting in a word or two. A good old fashioned magazine, made by drivers, for drivers. The layout is pretty much the old tried & tested style, which is what we come to expect. The number of pages did vary, but all the regular articles were there every month. All information seemed to be factual, not hyped up, and was written by people who know what they are on about. All pictures were of good quality, and apart from very old ones, were in full colour. Speaking of old photo's, this mag contained some of the best old motors I have ever seen...

Review of Truck Magazine

What bad luck for the Duck in the truck.

Advantages: Lovely easy reading book with, good size text and great illustrations.
Disadvantages: It's part of a series so expect to be asked to buy the other stories :-)

...DUCK in the TRUCK is a lovely children's story book hugely enjoyed by daughter we often share this book together at bedtimes. It takes about 3-4 minutes to read at a slow pace with your child with the adult reading. I have the book in paper back the cover is bright and colourful and it's glossy. ******* The Story ******* Duck sets of on a journey in his red truck, along his journey he gets stuck in the muck. Duck can't move the truck on his own so the story is about the different animals that see him stuck and then each try to help. As the story goes on the number or animals, helping to push the truck, gets bigger and in the end it takes the duck, a frog, a sheep and a goat all to push to get Ducks truck unstuck!. Duck's truck is out of the muck off he drives leaving all the animals stuck! ******Its appeal...

Review of Duck in the Truck - Jez Alborough

Let your toddler loose with this truck

Advantages: Well made and reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Bricks are not that good as building blocks

...At the age of 9 months my little boy was starting to pull himself up on anything he could reach although he was not yet starting to take steps. Eager to encourage him to learn to walk, I looked around for some kind of toddle truck for him. At about the same time he had begun to take a real interest in three plastic cubes that came with a different toy so when I found out the Early Learning Centre Toddle Truck had bricks inside it I went out and bought it. Product Description The handle for the Toddle Truck is about 45cm from the ground so is the perfect height for little people. The truck contains 28 bricks which are plain and patterned in four different colours - green, blue, orange and red. The bricks you get in the truck are as follows: 10 squares 4 triangles 8 small rectangles 2 large rectangles 2 arches (the...

Review of Racing Stripes (DVD)

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. After a few races in every...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PS3)

Keep on trucking!

Advantages: Friendly, independent bands, well-organised
Disadvantages: In the middle of nowhere

...TheTruck festival has been running for several years in the small village of Steventon, somewhere south of Oxford. It got its name because the first festival was held on an improvised stage made from the deck of two flat-bed trucks! This year's festival was the first Truck Festival I have been to, and it compared favourably with overpriced venues like Glastonbury and Reading; at only £25 for the weekend you can hardly complain. Tickets for this year's festival are now on sale from truck records website. the price has gone up to all of £35. The site says it is because of increased security costs and they didn't put the price up willingly. I still think that this is a complete bargain. What other weekend festival can you go to for that price? The downside, or upside, depending on your point of view, of the low ticket price was...
