Great Racing Game
1 of 1 found this helpful This is probably the best XBox racing game ever made. I love a good racing game, but most of them have arcade like physics and end up not being boring. Forza isn't an acrade game. It's a racing simulator like the Gran Turismo series. It doesn't have as much cars as GT, but the selection of cars isn't that bad either. There's stock cars that you can buy off the showroom right now (like the Mustang GT, Pontiac GTO, Ford Focus SVT, Dodge SRT-4, etc), muscle cars (Dodge Challenger, Pontiac GTO, etc), exotics (Ferraris), and everything in-between (Toyotas, Mercedes, VWs, Audis, Hondas, etc.). There's so many upgrades and parts you can buy from aesthetics to performance. It's amazing how much stuff is available!
I love being able to tune the cars and buy parts. Sometimes I'll spend an hour upgrading, tuning, and testing a car until it's perfect! Then I'll race. It's fun because each car will handle differently and you have to adapt to the differences. And it's not all about power either. You've got to tweak the suspension, brakes, and tires too so the car won't spin out of control. For example I was racing with an older Mercedes gullwing and for me it handles perfectly and it had the right balance of power and handling. On the other hand, my friend drove the exact same car and he thought it handled like a brick on Jello. I've noticed that he likes cars to understeer a bit while I like cars that oversteer more. The great thing is that we can tune the cars differently and use the ones we feel comfortable with. It's so much fun when we're racing against each other in multiplayer mode! Too bad the multiplayer mode is only for two people.
Using most of the default settings, it was kind of easy to beat most of the races in career mode. I do like the damage. It realistically effects what happens to the car. I'm happy they didn't go overboard with it so that one head-on hit and your car is dead. The damage includes cosmetic damage, limited damage, and simulation damage. The names are pretty self explanitory. Some of the options you can turn off for bonus credits for the races. You can turn off the stability control, traction control, and anti-lock brakes for about 30% bonus credits. I recommend turning off the stability and traction, but leaving ABS on. There's a lot of things to play with so it should appeal to most people.
This game is totally worth the money. I'd recommend this game for anyone that enjoys a good racing game or simulation. It has great physics, a decent selection of cars to fit just about anyone, lots of options and parts to play with, and it looks beautiful!

Excellent story-telling
1 of 1 found this helpful This is my recent favorite movie. The movie tells the story of different sets of characters. The story-telling is like Pulp Fiction or Vantage Point where it revolves around the same time and place, but the story is told from different characters' point of views. I love the music in the movie. It is very whimsical and sets the mood that the events happening are very weird. But the best part of the movie is how the viewer is given the strange ending first without much detail and then the details are revealed as the movie progresses. I'm just a sucker for movies like this.
The movie starts at around 11:14 and ends at 11:14. It starts with a guy driving into a town talking on a cell phone. The story takes a strange and bizarre turn of events and ends leaving the viewer wondering what just happened! The film then "rewinds" to five minutes before the previous story and the viewer is now greeted with a new set of characters with a different story. This repeats about five times and each story and character interacts with the previous story/character from a different viewpoint. Once the film gets to the last character/story, the film has come to a complete circle and the viewer sees the big picture about what happened at 11:14.

Good Basic Camera
5 of 7 found this helpful Pros:
AA Batteries
Durable
Picture Quality (in close-up mode)
Accepts MMD/SD card (not included)
Cons:
Features
Navigation
This is a VERY basic digital camera. It doesn't have optical zoom nor a lot of manual settings. It has 2X DIGITAL zoom which doesn't even compare to optical zoom. The navigation button is a pain in the neck. The OK/Select button is integrated with the arrow buttons so it is easy to screw up settings if you're not careful. There's not many adjustable features. You can turn the flash on and off, play with the exposure comp, close-up mode, image size/quality, and set the self timer. That's about all the manual settings you can play with. The other standard camera features such as screen on/off, date/time stamp, etc. probably don't even count as special features. The screen is rather dim in direct sunlight, but it's great in dim light.
It comes with a wriststrap, lense cap, and a couple of AA batteries. I recommend buying some NiMH or Lithium batteries because this thing will go through regular alkalines like nothing! The lense cap just clips onto the lense when you're done. It has a small strap that ties onto the wriststrap which is very nice.
I really like the close-up mode. It really captures the object and produces a sharp and crisp picture. The colors are also very good in this mode. The regular mode leaves much to be desired. I take my pictures on the lowest quality setting so that might be a contributing factor. The pictures in regular mode have decent color, but the objects and people's faces sometimes get a little blurred if they are a distance away (maybe more than 40 feet?).
I like the fact that it has an internal memory (16MB) and is able to accept an external card. It uses MMD/SD cards which are sold at a pretty decent price for the MB you're getting. At the lowest resolution (1024 X 768), I can store about 200 pictures on a 64 MB card.
Despite the drawbacks, I found this camera to be surpisingly durable for it's class. I've dropped it a few times and maybe even abused it a little, but it still keeps on ticking! The case has nicks and scratches and the screen is lightly scratched, but it still works! But even durability alone doesn't help it to be a great camera. In my opinion, save up your money and get a better camera with more features. If you just take pictures once in a while and just want a basic brand name camera with a screen then this is a good bargain (if you can get over the stupid navigation button). Otherwise you'll beat yourself up thinking about why you didn't buy a different camera with more features.
