This game proved to be a pleasant surprise when I first played. The more and more I raced, the more I got hooked. This game is the outright best grand prix motorcycle racer to date. The graphics are excelletn and the framerate is no problem at all. There are plenty of bikes and tons of racers from around the world to choose from. The gameplay is excellent and varied, therefore making it great to replay. Another excellent feature is the custom soundtrack. The controls are designed interestingly, but when you get used to them they are easy to manage. Personally, I enjoy the independent front and back brakes.
A few negatives to mention include the wimpy crashes. When you wipe-out, it isn't nearly as dramatic as it should be. One word to describe these is MEDIOCRE. Also, the computer isn't nearly challenging enough, as I was able to win a race in only my second chance. However, multiplayer takes care of this issue, plus you can increase the AI in the game
