Connections Edited from Le Mans User reviews 7 Review. Top review. Star-struck, but interesting nonetheless. Steve McQueen was a movie star with a serious interest in motor racing.
He aimed to bring his career and hobby together when he made the film 'Le Mans'. This documentary, about the making of that movie, tries hard to paint McQueen as a man with a vision, ultimately stimied by the system.
But it also opens the way to another view: that like many of the rich and famous, McQueen simply expected to get his own way, a form of "integrity" that few of us can afford and which is barely indistinguishable from being spoiled. In places it seems the film wants us to join the crowd of admirers who consider McQueen cool for crashing his sports car driving recklessly in the rain, or for sleeping with a dozen women a week while married.
Strip away the star-worship, and you do get a sense of his deep love for the sport, and of the risks taken by the drivers who participated in it in a time when few of the safety measures we are now used to were in place.

Acclaimed motor sports photographer and author Michael Keyser's A French Kiss With Death is part celebrity biography, part motor sports history and part behind-the-scenes filmmaking account. Keyser's observant and engaging storytelling weaves together screen legend Steve McQueen's rugged, individualistic life, his love affairs with motorcycles, cars, racing, partying and women, along with a story of exceptional filmmaking, including the breakthrough, Oscar-winning cinematographic techniques used to capture the visceral essence of racing's most famous event for the silver screen.
Keyser's longtime friend and ex-racer Jonathan Williams also contributed to the book. Steve McQueen remains the embodiment of cool some three decades after his death. Whether on the silver screen, racing a Triumph motorcycle across a California desert, dueling with other racers at Le Mans, or simply hanging with his pals, McQueen exuded an effortless style that belied his rough and tumble past.

If you choose to adjust things yourself, you can start with the quantity of fuel in your tank.
If you decide to put more fuel in your tank, it will make your car slower on the track. You can also adjust the down force of the car which can make the car faster with the sacrifice to its handling. If you want, you can choose whether you want to make the car an automatic or manual.
If you choose to change tires, keep in mind that if you take tires that make your car faster they will drastically affect its handling. Finally, you may adjust the gear ratio for better performance and the engine for the type of track you're on. If you want to have a better chance at winning the championship, you should do your best at becoming familiar with all the settings.
Once you have mastered all the courses in single player mode you'll be ready to test your skills against a friend. Keep in mind that you'll be able to use all the courses and cars if you decided to take time to unlock them all. The only cars that won't be available to you both are the cars from the Le Mans mode. I truly suggest that you take the time to play against a couple of your friends and show off some of your tremendous driving skills.
I must say that the effects were simply spectacular. Each car looks like what you would expect if you were standing right next to it. The detail was so extensive that I could actually read the decals off the car hood. With craftsmanship like that, it is no wonder the game is so much fun to play. Also, while racing around the track, I found that the sun gives a glare in the window -- a nice touch to an already superb setup. One of the graphical aspects really helped me in the game -- the cars would leave skid marks in the pavement that I would use later to gauge when I should brake for turns.
The interaction with the scenery and the weather makes the gameplay even more fun. If they were meticulous in the detail that was put into the graphical design then the audio performance only serves to compliment it. The roar of the engine and the screeching of the tires will make you feel like are really in the race.
On top of that, the announcer is energetic and full of sarcasm, making you love to hate him. I was pleased that they put racing theme music into the game. As I have said in the past, theme music can definitely add to the enjoyment of any game. So what type of game do we have here? We've got fast cars and challenging circuits. We can look forward to terrific graphics and amazing sound performance. As an added bonus there are more courses and even more advanced cars to unlock throughout the game.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm sold! Don't take my word for it, you should go get a copy of your very own and experience it for yourself. Browse games Game Portals. Le Mans 24 Hours.
