racing and flying

Ugh. I was hoping this game would be like GT3, unfortunatly it's not. It shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.

PRO's
Lot of tracks
Can upgrade your helmet, suit, & motorcycle
Lots of Bikes

CON's
Third person view only!! Whats the use in buying upgrades & bikes when you can't see them while racing. You only see them when you crash.
Boring track designs
OK graphics
Brakes don't brake. It's the same as releasing the gas. No quick stops??
No redeeming value whats so ever. It doesn't keep your attention at all.

I suggesy getting speed kings. It's much more fun. If you really like bikes get this game used. I got mine for 20.00

This is the best PS2 bike game available. It isn't perfect, the soundtrack is lacking and the graphics are nothing special. I do however enjoy the physics modelling and gameplay. If you brake while leaned over in a curve the bike will tend to stand up/run wide (very much like my own road going sport bike). The arcade modes are probably too hard for most but the career mode (Riding Spirit) is tonnes of fun. Now if they could spruce up the graphics, add some online play, and improve the soundtrack...

this is one of the worst bike racing games i have played.
remeber RoadRash for the genesis i would rather play that. i road race my R6 and i play the heck out of my ps2. this game doesnt do credit to either one. i played RS for all of 4 hours and took it back. i hope this review will save you 50 bucks
