Dreamcast

Racing seasons?
Not as such. You start off as a rookie rider and the ultimate goal is to work your way up through the ranks until you get to join the Suzuki Alstare team. And it shouldn't take you too long to do that because the other riders aren't exactly the best in the world.

It's easy then?
It's certainly easier than most racing games these days. As you progress through the races - the game breaks down into events of three or four races per event - you start to accumulate points. Finish an event at the top of the table and you can unlock a spunkier bike on which to compete in the next event

So, unrealistic gameplay and simple opponents...
That's about the size of it, and though that might not appeal to some, it should certainly appeal to bike racing fans who simply want to blast around some twisty tracks and not worry too much about setting up handling conditions and stuff like that. Heck, you don't even want to be touching the brakes too much.

Do say...
Yeehar! Burn rubber on me, baby!

Don't say...
Four centimetres of lateral tracking can make all the difference.

  • Arcade-style racing
  • Great-looking too
  • Work your way up to the Suzuki Alstare team
  • No fiddly bike set-ups to play with
  • Could all be over sooner rather than later
