Snooz'n USA

Advantages: Spotting landmarks, controls do the job
Disadvantages: Poor collisions physics, cornering troubles, infinite continues

...The N64 limitations meant Midway were never going to come close to producing a perfect port of the arcade checkpoint racer, Cruis'n USA, but to rub asphalt into the wounds, the title would be censored by Nintendo (at the least animals were removed), whilst bloody fighting games Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Killer Instinct Gold avoided being butchered... Speaking of which, the frame rate gets rather choppy when driving through detailed surroundings, such as downtown San Francisco - this is also the section where the external views can be blocked, albeit partially and briefly, by cars behind. There are direction signs in Cruis'n USA but nothing to tell how tight an upcoming turn is - there is a radar for CPU presence, but no map present so you never know until too late, and traffic is sure to come blind as well. The analog stick works well...

Review of Cruis'n USA (N64)

TEAM USA

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...It may suprise some people, but America have actually got a pretty good record in World Cup. The USA were involved in some of the very first World Cups in the 1930s, some twenty years before England or any other home nation did so themselves. They cannot kid themselves that they invented the game though, and the truth now is they are really not very good. A spectacularly bad performance in France ’98 where they lost all their games and worse still losing to Iran is hopefully for them not on the cards again. I would not bet against it though. Some bright person decided that it would be a good idea to host the 1994 World Cup, a festival for the very best teams in the world in America. It would be a kick start to give the game a new popularity. Sadly it never happened, they would rather play some stupid rounders that they copied...

Review of USA (National Team 2002)

Rehashed in the USA

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Some awful tracks, probably too diverse for all tracks to appeal to one person, many of the songs are slow

...workmanship on behalf of the album’s producers. Because I find track-by-track reviews are often rather dull (certainly when I write them!), I decided to review this one by artiste – so here goes… DOLLAR Dollar was a very successful duo in the 1980s. With pretty blonde Thereze Bazaar and, erm, pretty blonde David Van Day, they were perfect poster fodder for teenagers. With hits like Mirror Mirror and Oh L’Amour, they epitomised the big hair and cheesy grins of 1980s pop. David Van Day resurfaced a few years ago, desperately trying to claw back some fame and money. After a strange time of trying to be part of Bucks Fizz, he famously ended up selling from a van on a cold British seafront. Some of us were rather pleased to see the arrogance knocked out of him, but Reborn in the USA was another chance of success...

Review of Reborn In The USA (17 Unforgettable Songs As Performed On The Hit ITV1 Show) - Original TV Soundtrack

Lonely planet - USA

Advantages: gives lots of rich detailed information and loads of maps included
Disadvantages: there is alot of info and the book is rather heavy for travelling around with

...Im going on a around the world trip next year and my first stop is America. I have never travelled out of europe before and never been to such a huge country so thought i had better get clued up with lots of information about the place. I bought this book from Amazon for around £8 which is half its original price. The amazon website was really good as you could preview the contents page of this book to know whats included. The very first page has useful information such as exchange rates, temperature, conversions and emergency telephone numbers for the USA. Another really good thing about this book is that it inlcudes a colour map of the USA as a whole labelling the major cities and then throughout the book it has 140 maps of individual places which are much more detailed, highlighting where the sights and activities are...

Review of Motown Hitsville USA - Boyz II Men

miss united states

Advantages: sandra is great
Disadvantages: weak storyline

...torture to get the look that she needs to make her pass as Miss United States. Her Colleague played by Benjamin Bratt who is the head of the FBI team is shocked by the transformation as Gracie actually looks so different to her normal FBI Agent attire. Through out the film the attraction between them grows. Michael Caine after the transformation needs to teach Gracie to walk elegantly, to have a talent to show in the contest, to eat like a lady and also to perfect a speech to give at the pageant, which as all speeches ends in world peace, whilst living a healthy life style, which I think is one of the best parts of the film as she tries to smuggle donuts in her dress. Does the pageant goes smoothly you will have to wait and see. This film has a star cast with William Shatner who plays Stan Fields a judge in the beauty pageant. This...

Review of Miss Congeniality (DVD)

She's Beauty and She's Grace...She's Miss United States...

Advantages: Extremely entertaining
Disadvantages: None

...unrefined FBI agent who feels a lot more at ease with her male friends than with a circle of girls. However, the tables turn on her, though, when she has to go undercover as a beauty queen in order to uncover a dangerous conspiracy. The slight hitch, though, is that Gracie is everything but a beauty queen. Will she be able to let go of her unrefined habits long enough to transform into a clichéd Miss United States contestant? Like I mentioned above, I was simply in awe in front of Sandra Bullock?s dualistic role. She had to play both the tough FBI agent and a Miss United States contestant and she rose to both parts perfectly. I just loved the way that she managed to make herself as masculine as possible; especially when you consider the fact that Sandra is a female movie star who is used to being pampered and graceful. She mastered...

Review of Miss Congeniality (DVD)

fans 'United'

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...What can I say that hasn't already been said about England's most prolific football club. Most people know everything from the Munich air disaster to the treble season of 1998/99, two hugely differing events in the history of an absolutely fantastic football team. I personally have been priveleged to support such a great side ever since my birth in 1986, and having gone on to see them roughly 500 times in various areas of the country (and the world). Manchester United PLC. Chairman - Sir Roy Gardner Chief Executive - David Gill Manchester United FC Manager - Sir Alex Ferguson Assistant Manager - Carlos Queiroz President - Martin Edwards Formed - 1878 (formerly Newton Heath but name changed to Manchester United in 1902) The club also gave me the greatest day of my life - even though ive seen them play so many times...

Review of Manchester United

The Damned United Film Review

Advantages: Story, Characters
Disadvantages: The depiction of Billy Bremner

...It'd be interesting to see who comes out as the winner in a most hated poll between controversial ex-football manager Brian Clough and fallen giants Leeds United, considering that critics and opposing fans have expressed their hatred for both down the years. And whereas The Damned United -- a film which depicts Clough's 44-day employment at the club -- will hardly drastically alter people's opinions on either of the subjects, it is still an incredibly involving [British] drama that warrants the attention of anyone interested in football. The same can be said of the book by David Peace, from which the film's story is based upon. Despite friends and family reacting angrily to the author's depiction of Clough's erratic train of thought, it really is a fascinating, semi-fictionalised account of one of the sport's most popular figures. Tom...
