It's a convenient and portable package, even if you might feel silly checking your shopping list on the portable system while in the supermarket. You might feel even sillier saying "next" and "previous" to cycle through steps while cooking at home, though it's a nice way to avoid touching the screen while using it in a less-than-ideal environment.To be sure, there's still a timed game mode that tests how well you use the DS touchscreen to chop or stir virtual ingredients, but there's a noticeable lack of polish: Grated lemon zest looks the same as grated kiwi (wrong in more ways than one), and mixing items from one bowl to another invariably triggers the sound of falling liquid, whether it's something wet or not.
For the really adventurous, there's a freestyle version of the game mode that allows for playing around with ingredients while recording the amounts used and techniques applied to create your own recipe on the fly. This kind of interactive freethinking is a boon to visual learners.There's plenty of Jamie himself throughout the game, from his telling you that the "spicy sweet potato soup with goat cheese crostini" is "a light lunch with a tasty twist" to images of him and his befuddled smile that appear after each completed task. Awkward, but not without its charms.
Following the worldwide launch last week and subsequent sales success of Atari and Simbin’s RACE Pro, some players are experiencing problems when playing online.* There are 3 steps in any online race in Race Pro:How to set up a Player Match session in Race Pro Xbox 360:
-Open Practice session – where you wait for new drivers to join
-Qualification session – to determine the position on the starting grid
-Race – to race against other drivers
* The Qualification step is optional. You can bypass it by selecting “No” for Qualification in the Host Setting screen.
* It is important to note that the host leads and “times” everything. It can sometimes take time for him to start a session or go from one step to another, so please bear this in mind and be patient.
1- Go to Xbox Live
2- Select Player Match, then Create Match
3- Choose the race settings such as track, car class, length, player slots…(we advise setting fewer player slots, selecting “Yes” to AI opponents and selecting “No” to Qualification).
4- Choose your car
5- Choose your car settings (default settings are normally adequate)
6- Press A button to pass to the loading screen
7- Press A button when loading is completed
8- Select Drive and you’re now in the Open Practice session where you wait for other drivers to join in.
9- Once enough drivers have joined, press Start and choose Next Session (when you see the warning message displayed, select ‘yes’)
10- On the Player/Timing screen, press A button
11- Select Next Session
12- Once the loading is complete, select Race, and you’ll then be on the starting grid.
13- Once the race is finished, on the Player/Timing screen press A button. Then you can select Done and then choose a new track to race with the same people and settings.
-Either as Host or as Client, it’s better choose 6 to 8 opponent slots / games to optimize the gaming experience.
-As Host, it is important not to wait too long for new players in the Open Practice session. It may discourage players who want to race quickly.
-It is strongly recommended that you join games via the Custom Match option (instead of Quick Match one). You’ll then be able to choose for yourself the game you want to play in.
-Using Private Sessions is also a good way to optimize the network and game performance.
-When you’re not the host, please wait for the host to start the qualifying session or the race. Wait on the driver/timings screen or on the Replay/Monitor/Quit screen (but don’t quit). Loading will start quickly, leading you to the next step.
-Use the Custom modes and check the created sessions. Choose the sessions marked as “Waiting for Players” or “Qualifying”.
