Painful weapons!
While lacking in the charm department, VR Karts captures the fun and chaos of kart-racing really well in virtual reality.

Yet another fabulous story. With the kidnapping of Jacqueline before her ceremony and Fane and the other wolves racing to save her, you experience this tales from two completely different angles and areas.
The heart warming connection that comes with their bonding and the resulting revolution of Jen's heritage creates a brilliant end before their journey to Romania.

I love this game. It is a relaxing game that doesn't require too much brain power. As a gamer that isn't into shooting games or racing games this game is brilliant. The music is calming. All the dialogue is written in prose. And I'm a massive fan of the watercolouresque of the graphics.

Easy to set up
A game of blackmail and tickery
The really Nasy horse racing game sounds as though its name could be deceiving but actually that's exactly what it is, a nasty horse racing game.
Quite simply it's 6 races that you place bets on, the person with the most money at the end wins.
The twist come with the really nasty cards that each player gets issued.. if used tacticlly you can fall horses, object and issue a setwards inquiry to push your horse into 1st or simply call a false start.
All in all its a great game for all the family and I would highly recommend it. Just be warned this could be horse racings answer to monopoly.

Gareth von Kallenbach (971 KP) rated Planes: Fire And Rescue (2014) in Movies
Aug 6, 2019
In “Planes: Fire & Rescue,” Dusty Crophopper (Dane Cook), the former dust cropper turned racing plane, has become one of the top racing competitors. Unfortunately, his racing days are over when he damages his gearbox, a discontinued model that cannot be replaced, rendering him unable to push himself to top speeds.
In attempt to keep Propwash Junction, the beloved airport that Dusty calls home, from being shut down due to a lack of fire trucks and planes, Dusty volunteers to train to become a fire fighter. Dusty travels to Piston Peak National Forest to learn how to fight fires from Blade Ranger (Ed Harris) and his brigade of firefighters.
The sequel to Disneytoons Studio, “Planes” movie is far superior than its predecessor. I must admit I was very disappointed in the first installment due to its lack of connection to the characters and an unengaging storyline. It’s easier to connect with these heroes. In this film, we get a glimpse of the life of firefighters and how they risk their lives every day putting out fires to save people, wildlife, and nature. There are several perilous firefighting rescue scenes which keeps you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed every second.

David McK (3233 KP) rated Fast & Furious (2009) in Movies

The original 'The Fast and the furious' film was mainly set around illegal street racing, with Paul Walker's Brian O'Connor infiltrating a gang of street-racers led by Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto, who also use their racing expertise to pull of audacious high-stakes crimes.
This was followed by the forgettable 2 Fast 2 Furious, which jettisoned Vin Deisel and most of his crew in order to focus instead on an out-of-favour Brian O'Connor.
This, itself, was then followed by Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift which, yes, was set in Tokyo and pretty much did away with all the characters from the earlier films.
Which brings us to entry number 4, confusingly just called 'Fast and Furious' and which acts as a 'reboot', of sorts, for the series, with the starting sequence (at least, if nothing else) actually taking place before Tokyo Drift.
This one brings back Vin Diesel, Jordanna Brewster and Paul Walker in therir respective roles from the first film, and also sets the template for what is to come: namely, a complete disregard for the laws of physics, familial drama and lots of cars racing through the streets.
It's also largely forgettable (like the majority of these films) ...

One thing I can respect about Tokyo Drift is its commitment to being about street racing, doubling down just before the franchise starts going ham.
The Tokyo setting is a nice change of scenery, and Justin Lin gives us a few solid race scenes in his first F&F effort but this one just didn't do it for me otherwise.
The lead character is a complete wet flannel, and all of the surrounding characters are just sort of there. It makes the corny dialogue even harder to stomach than before. Its a far cry from Paul Walker and co.
The copious amounts of high school drama on display is jarring as well.
Its not as tight as the first film, and not as silly as the second, and the end result is a rather forgettable if (sometimes) enjoyable racing film, nothing more.

Heart-racing tale of six young children, who while innocently playing in the woods, witness something they should not see. Now they, and everyone around them is in danger. Fantastic storyline, great characters and one heck of a ride! Quick read as you're sucked in from page one and simply don't want to out it down... Will surely be checking out more books by this author!

it’s hard to level any complaints at F1 2017. It’s one of the best simulation racing games around, with the one caveat being that you probably have to be a fan of F1 to enjoy it.

Doug (2 KP) rated Thunder Alley in Tabletop Games
Jun 21, 2019
My new favorite racing game
You play as a race team owner that controls up to 6 cars (actual number depends on the # of players) the goal is to have the most points at the end of the race. You move using cards that in most cases move you and others so the game goes pretty quick. Does a good job simulating an actual race and a game I could not recommend more.
