There's not many road bike games out there,so this one will have to do. The graphics are very good for a PS2 game, and the handling of the bike is OK. The engine sounds are somewhat cheesy, though. One thing that I really dislike (in ANY game) is how the computer makes your bike handle worse and worse, depending on how far ahead of the pack you are. You'll find yourself missing corners that the lap before were easy, and almost have to bring the bike to a stop to keep from overshooting. I wouldn't mind if the AI bikes got faster the further ahead I am, but slowing me down is just plain irritating and ridiculous programming. Except for the AI the game is OK, and worth the low price.
basically graphics / course detail (actually looking like isle of mann) are decent, however bike control is poor. the actual feel is more like driving just another car game than a bike. a comparable feel that i've played would be kinda like the road rash games from PS1. didnt spend alot of time playing due to the control issues but does look like in later stages the availability of upgrades to bikes and equipment look pretty cool. As in the title though - pass on this one and get tourist trophy - more options, more of a true BIKE feel ... can high side, slide, etc etc ... and of course nice multi courses.
I BOUGHT THIS GAME FOR MY 3 YEAR OLD AS A REPLACEMENT FOR AN EXACT SAME GAME HE BROKE. HE LOVES IT BECAUSE IT'S SO EASY FOR HIM TO PLAY. I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT KEEPS HIM BUSY WHILE I GET THINGS DONE AROUND THE HOUSE. IT HAS COOL FEATURES LIKE DIFFERENT BIKES TO RIDE AND IT IS VERY EASY FOR HIM TO SET UP.HE DOES IT ALL BY HIM SELF. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GAME. ESPECIALLY AT THE PRICE WE GOT IT FOR. MY HUSBAND PAID THREE TIMES AS MUCH FOR THE FIRST ONE HE GOT. IT'S DEFINITELY A MUST HAVE.
Great graphics and very compelling to keep one interested!

This by far is the closest you'll come to the real tt. The graphics aren't the best(it's 2005 ps2) but the accuracy in which you have to navigate the course "with a controller" has got to be as complex as actually doing it on a superbike. Minus the physical abuse. The weight distribution through body position on the bike is critical in achieving the seemly impossible acts of heroics! Keeping that front end down as you're banging through the gears through the twisty bits while not clipping the masonry is the ultimate. It took me months to learn the entire length of the tt course to the point to where I didn't crash once in one lap and post a time of under 20 minutes. Talk about stressful! Then keep going for another 3 laps! Holy crap! It's truly the tt fan's ultimate experience. I just wish some day it will be new and improved with updated graphics to join motogp and f1 on the top shelf of simulation racing.Read full review
