Video Games

Not until the release of the Game Boy Advance has a portable console had the raw horsepower to create a convincing 3-D racer. Unfortunately, the developers behind Top Gear GT Championship seem to be blissfully unaware of this fact, and their creation really fails to impress.

Top Gear GT Championship is a simulation of the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, and as such contains all the official cars and drivers–which are totally unknown to anyone outside of Nippon. This is the least of the game’s problems, though, because quite frankly it looks and controls like a rather sickly donkey. Although the graphics look good in static screenshots the road effect doesn’t have the whizzy “mode 7″ 3-D effect that titles such as Konami Krazy Racers and GT Advance use. Instead the road just sort of scrolls towards you out of the ether, very much in the style of old 80s coin-ops.

There are a useful number of ways to customise your vehicle before the race and there are some reasonably impressive weather effects, but unfortunately it’s not enough to save things. In short you’d be much better off getting GT Advance, which is much, much, better than this. –David Jenkins

Customer Review: top gear gt racing
well i am a fan of the GBA and think that the game TOP GEAR GT RACING is a terrific and thrilling racing game. Trust me this game is really fun ,and is a one to have. My friend has it and i have tried it and found it great and i have decided to buy it as it is such a great game !
Customer Review: Probably the worst racing game ever
I’ve been playing racing games since “Pit Stop 2″ on the Commodore 64 up to “GT3″ on the PS2, and this is one of the worst racing games I have ever had the misfortune to play. The cars handle like bricks - they’re either going straight, or they’re jerking to the side. You don’t get a sense of actually steering the car, like you do with most modern race games. If you wanted something to compare it to, I’d say it’s slightly worse than Sega’s old “Super Hang-On”. Thank heavens it was a present. If I’d paid money for this, I’d kick myself. If YOU’RE unfortunate enough to receive this - do not unwrap it! Demand the receipt and take it back to the shop! I quite literally cannot believe any software house would have the cheek to inflict such an awful game upon an innocent public.

In a nutshell:
Few kids films can be as well suited to video game immortalisation as Cars and just for once a movie license-in hasn’t just been used for a cheap cash-in. Think Ridge Racer, Jr. and there’s plenty to enjoy here for both adults and children.

The lowdown:
When you’ve got a movie populated solely by talking cars it at least means there’s no need to turn the game into yet another third person platformer. Instead you take the role of stock car Lightning McQueen in what is actually a sequel to the movie’s plot, as he works his way up the racing leagues. Whether there’s someone driving Lightning or not he still handles like any other arcade racer, complete with a handy powerslide. The artificial intelligence of the other cars can seem a bit too willing to let you win in the early stages but there are separate kids and adults modes to ensure all ages get a decent challenge.

Most exciting moment:
Although it’s not quite Grand Theft Auto the game features a surprisingly large game world for you to explore, with wide open canyons and towns filled with tons of side quests and mini-games to ignore or enjoy as you please.

Since you ask:
Almost the entire voicecast of the movie reprise their roles, recording original dialogue just for the game. This includes Owen Wilson and, in his first ever role in a video game, the legendary Paul Newman.

The bottom line:
One of the best movie tie-ins for a while and a decent little racer.

Customer Review: Good game but too short!
The game is quite good gameplay and has very good graphics for a gameboy advance game…the arrows telling you where to go aren’t that annoying and its quite good fun BUT… there’s only a about 20 levels which really isn’t that many considering there mainly races against the clock. There are only 4 different cars which is a bit annoying but you can change their colour but again would be nice to see a bit more. It would also be nice to see a multiplayer mode but sadly there isn’t. Overall I would say its a quite good game but don’t complete it too quickly! Because I completed it in a day!
Customer Review: CARS - too slow!
My son, Jake, found this game was a bit too easy (he’s 10yrs old). The graphics were good but only featured races which got a bit boring, although there were different maps/levels. The races were either time trials or against other cars. He was disappointed that there are only 4 cars that he could choose to be. Overall he says it’s OK for younger children but too easy and boring for his age group.

Customer Review: Logitech USB Headset
Bought this headset for my son. He loves it. The sound is good and the fit is perfect. The headset is adjustable to fit the individual. The microphone is not too big and not too small. It comes around far enough to pick up sound, but not too far to be in the way. This is a great product.

Customer Review: GOOD, BUT TOO SHORT?
this game is really good fun, but it is quite easy to complete, its also only got 16 levels. I am a teenager and a fan of shrek and i love this game, i’d say its worth a buy, but could get boring.
Customer Review: Great fun!
This game uses all functions of the DS well. The gameplay takes place on the bottom screen with the top screen being an extension of the scene (also the help tips appear here). You can play as multiple different characters. You use the directional control pad (or the ABXY buttons for LH gamers!) to move each character (although the game is set in a 3D world, the actual gameplay is only 2D so you can only move side to side or up and down). You will need to use your stylus all the time to enable each character to perform their own unique ‘moves’ to enable progression through the game. The clever part of this game is the ability to switch between playing as different characters (e.g. Shrek, Puss and Artie at the beginning of the game), individually, in pairs and as a team, making them work together to get to the end of each level. Each character has different individual skills, and you will need to use them separately to access different parts of each level to allow the other characters to continue through to the end of the level. E.g., Puss is the only one who can jump to ledges and ‘roll attack’ through small gaps; Artie is the only one who can cross water by floating on his shield and activate some magic auras by throwing his shield at a glowing object above; Shrek can break weak floors or crash through walls. If you want to progress to the next level, you will need to have moved all 3 characters through to the end of the level so that they are standing in front of the Mystic Exit together, otherwise it won’t activate! Once you have selected the mode of play and the save slot, you will be taken through the story thus far. You need to turn the DS around by 90 degrees to view it as a 2-page book. The left page has stained-glass style artwork (as per the opening of the films), and the right page has the text of the story. The great thing about this is that Donkey actually narrates the story, embellishing the standard written text as only he can! This is great fun for all, but particularly good for young children who cannot read the story-book text very fast. After Donkey has finished his story telling, you are off to the Apprentice Hall where you find yourself playing as Shrek (on his own). After successfully progressing through the Apprentice Hall playing as all the 3 characters (separately and together) you start the game ‘proper’. There are 4 ‘worlds’ - Bogey Byway, Raiders Bay, Maze of Spades, Castlehoff. In each of these 4 worlds there are 4 levels to complete (3 levels and a final level). In each level you will need to collect a number of golden fairies and coins. You cannot proceed to the next world without first completing the previous world. It is a great game that uses all the functions of the DS well. It’s certainly not a difficult game, and perhaps aimed at the younger market, however I think adults will enjoy this game and not become too bored as you need to think on an additional ‘logical’ level to complete each level using mutliple characters. GAMEPLAY INFORMATION:- 2 MODES OF PLAY - a) single play, and (b) multiplay (where you can host a game or join a game using the NDS wireless capabilities); 3 separate SAVE SLOTS to save 3 separate games - enabling multi independent users; Great SOUND EFFECTS throughout the whole game - Donkey narrates the initial story and all the ‘help’ icons, plus each character will frequently make character-specific noises (Shrek farts and burps!); MAGIC allows you to do such things as help defeat enemies and access ledges for those characters that can’t jump - if you hold the L or R shoulder button, a purple haze will cover the screen, and you can use your magic on the objects you can see flashing through the haze; COLLECT 26 GOLDEN FAIRIES to break the spell and COLLECT 84 COINS to unlock bonuses and secrets; Collect MERLIN’S HOLOGRAM BOXES throughout gameplay to see what has recently happened in Far Far Away.

Customer Review: NO POINT
Firstly, i dont own the product, heres why, i have played 8hrs straight without any fan. and my ps3 is as healthy as ever. so why? manufacturers seem too have us confused with a certain xbox 360 “red ring of death” problem. think you need a fan? take it from me you don’t. look at the other guy, the manufacterur prmises “peace of mind” yet it melts his ps3. noboody dhould consider this. get yourself a game instead.
Customer Review: Has the world gone crazy?
Hold on a minute here, I don’t get this, why are people buying cooling fans for their PS3’s? Does the PS3 have any heat issues? Listen, you are all voiding your warranties by adding these cooling fans to your PS3’s and xBox 360’s! Whats even worse is that most of them don’t help cool your consoles at all, if anything there have been reports where consoles have over heated and even melted as a result of using these cooling fans. I will not talk about the xBox 360 as most people already know about its heating issues, but the PS3 is very well made and has a really good cooling system! You’ll notice that your PS3 releases a lot of heat, most people get worried by this but this is a good thing. This is an indication that the PS3’s fans and other internal cooling systems are doing their job. Imagine if it didn’t and all that heat was retained inside the PS3 even for 10 minutes? The PS3 would shut off automatically and if it didn’t then it would melt! So its bloody good that it does release a lot oh heat. If it didn’t then I’d be worried if I were you! I’ve not yet heard of one complaint from anyone about the PS3 having heating issues and I would never use these cooling fans as they are made by third party companies and are not Sony approved. If PS3’s had a heating issue then its up to Sony to fix this. When you fork out something between ?300-430 for a gaming console, you should not have to buy cooling fans to keep the bloody thing cool! Anyway enough rumbling. The main thing here is that you will void your warranty if your system gets damaged as a result of using these cooling fans. Just MAKE SURE you keep the PS3 in a well ventilated area away from heaters etc. DONT place your PS3 inside TV cabinets etc, where there’s more likely to be less ventilation. And you shall not have any issues with the PS3. *** The new 40GB PS3 now has a 65nm cell processor instead of the 90nm cell processor used in the 60GB PS3’s. This means that the 40GB PS3 will require less energy to run which means less heat, which in turn means less noise. I’ve got a 60GB PS3 and my friend has the newer 40GB one, and his is super quiet and doesn’t seem to release much heat at all, unlike mine which is a bit more noisier than his and releases about twice the heat I’d say. Sony say that the 40GB PS3 is about 30% more efficient than the 60GB PS3. At the end of the day, its better technology, latest technology and that’s the way forward and so I shall follow. No backwards compatibility with PS2 games do I hear you say? Did you not have a PS2 before you bought the PS3 I reply! PS2 games will be extinct not so long from now!***
