Classic game
1 of 2 found this helpful If you like car racing and shooting games, and have a bent towards the macabre, this game is for you. In terms of how the game is played, after choosing a character, you drive around and fight in several large arena areas (an inner city, a suburban neighborhood, linked skyscraper rooftops, etc). Your objective is to destroy the competing vehicles using items that you pick up while driving, or special attacks that depend on the character you choose. There are also two bosses (large vehicles) that you have to defeat throughout the game. In addition to being a fun action game, TM:B has a very dark setting. Each character has a personal story that unfolds as you play, and some of them are quite twisted indeed. In addition to the story, the design of the vehicles and locations, and the fact that you can end up demolishing towns through the course of your battles lends to the dark atmosphere. Only downside is it's a little tough to do multiplayer unless you have a big TV, as the splitscreen image is smaller (true with any splitscreen multiplayer).

Terrible E&M book, but nothing better at the Grad level
1 of 1 found this helpful Any textbook that leaves proof of its key concepts as exercises to be worked out by the student is a poor textbook in my opinion, and that's exactly what Jackson does. It seems like an entire other textbook could be written to explain the proofs Jackson leaves out, and that would be the more useful book. The problems don't enhance my understanding of E&M concepts, but rather seem like egregiously difficult math problems with little physical relevance whatsoever. Most of my other friends taking graduate level Electricity and Magnetism agree with all of my above statements. The problem (and the reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1) is that there is no other one book at the graduate level that covers all of the E&M concepts discussed (albeit poorly) in Jackson. Until Griffiths decides to step up to the plate and write a Grad level book, or Shankar turns his mighty gaze toward E&M, we're stuck with Jackson, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
