People do this for real, you know. Briefly.

Swedish developers UDS are pedalling a new gospel. But is it a cyclelogical gimmick or a brave new way to celebrate the bicycle-tennial? No, the bell-ennium. No, wait. Forget it. Just forget it.

Mountain biking, eh?
Don't scowl. Mountain biking's the most happening thing since, um, those lamps with that lava stuff. Hell's teeth, it's about time someone fashioned a bike game. The PlayStation's suffered loads of daffy snowboard games (none of them one 1080th as good as 1080 on the N64, let it be said), so why not a bike-'em-up?

Yes. What about ESPN Extreme Games?
Aha. We knew that. Yes, ESPN included mountain bike racing. And skateboards and luges and rollerblades. It was splendid fun, too, but you won't find it on the shelves now.

Right. So. No Fear?
It's a make of sporting clobber. You certainly need to have 'no fear' in downhill mountain biking. (Also 'little sense,' but that's another story.) The cyclists hurtle along at dangerously silly speeds down rocky trails. With minimal brake dabbage. No Fear includes all the elements of this exciting sport, except crashing and dying.

We are, then, talking bikes and hills?
Yes.

More details, please.
Okay, there are 24 tracks, set in 11 different locations around the world. You race on tarmac, mud, grass, dry river beds, rock, snow and even through caves. One course is set in the village of Haworth in Yorkshire, the birthplace of legendary wrestling trio the Brontë Sisters. The developers UDS have done their homework, because a lot of the tracks are loosely based on those from the real downhill season.
