The bike and the ride
In late summer of 2005 I purchased a Bianchi Via Nirone 7 from Evans online at the website (http://www.evanscycles.com/) and was impressed with the delivery within 3 days. The parcel was well protected and all I had to do was open one end of the box, wheel the bike out, adjust the handlebar orientation and basically it was good to go riding. I changed the saddle for a Bontrager Race X Lite saddle as an upgrade - saddle selection is a very personal choice for comfort on the long rides. After inflating the tyres to a high pressure (I use 100psi to allow for the humps and bumps on the Great British roads). The handling of this bike with carbon fibre forks, stem...

Advantages: Single player gameplay, videos among the game, game graphics . Disadvantages: Sterring with Wii reomote is a little bit messy .
...Electronic Arts is primarily known to everyone through their Need For Speed series. In year 2006 they completed Need For Speed: Carbon. If we compare this series to other series, It's really different and many things have changed very much. But gameplay is very similar, especially to Need For Speed: Underground 2.

Advantages: customization is great Disadvantages: too short
...i'm a big fan of the nfs series but i wasn't too impressed by carbon which could have been great. Ive given it a three star rating becuase a couple of reasons.
number one- it is too short- it doesn't compare to the other nfs game. i completed it in less than 2 weeks playing occasionally.
number 2- The graphics are quite good but don't look like they have changed from need for speed underground. The gameplay has improved and driving the cars is much more realistic with better handling. The highlight of the game is probably the awsome autoscuplt where you can modify you cars looks and performance. You can can change the size, shape and height of the extras before buying them.
If you're loking for a cheap decent driving game then this is perfect for you but nfs fans may be let down....
