Product Description
Platform: PlayStation2
Manufacturer's Description
Screaming out of the final curve, three racers are neck and neck with you on the final straight to the finish line. Deafening engines, inches from your ears, roar unbridled power to the tires as you wrench open the throttle and are instantly launched forward at a heartstoppingly brutal burst of speed. Surroundings blur and the rest of the world loses focus as your full concentration goes into stealing each and every possible centimetre of lead over your opponents. Your body is inches from the ground, the tarmac now passing under you at an incredible rate, your rivals within touching distance and you make the gear change and gun the engine again into the redline. Taking the lead in the final metre you grab the Win by a split second and the World Championship by a tyres width. SBK is the Official game of the Superbike World Championship. All the real elements are in the game, and you can go into as much detail as you want in the way you make your gameplay. Nothing has ever come closer to the real experience.

Fun:
Have been into car racing games for many years now with the occasional dip into biking but always jumping back out again due to the lack of anything good. Rented SBK from a local store, set it straight to simulation mode (as I always do) - this is my experience:
Gameplay (5/5): very, very difficult to handle (which so many games fail to achieve), so to finally start laying down some respectable times after a few hours felt extremely worthwhile. I always use in-car or hemlet cam views for realism - certainly achieves this in this game. The back wheel snakes around both on cornering AND braking (again, something most racing game developers don't manage to realistically achieve) with the option for mutual breaking or separate front and back. All in all, a thrilling experience.
Graphics(3/5): could be better I feel (MotoGP 4 looks much better). That said, revert to Gameplay above and you won't notice much. Wet weather graphics look much better than dry. BIGGEST GRIPE: why does it take 40 seconds to load a track and another 40s to load the menu afterwards? This becomes extremely tedious..had it not been for this fault, I would have purchased the game? GT4 has an 11 mile track which takes about 10s to load!!
Sound (5/5): simply excellent, high whines through to deep and dirty roars.
AI (3/5): can be annoying when someone hits you and only you fly off your bike. Same goes for if you hit someone and again you seem to be the only one in the gravel.
General: good number of tracks (22, don't know if more become available) incl. Brands Hatch, Magny Cours, Silverstone Int'l (not GP), Brno and Valencia.
As said, excellent and thrilling game hugely let down by tedious loading times.

I was looking forward to this game to come out for months and i wasnt disapointed. The gameplay is quite difficult to get used to but is very addictive like the old computer game. The graphics are better than what i was expecting but could still be improved. The sounds of the bikes are amazingly realistic, there are good varieties of bikes and tracks including the best track brands hatch. It is a good game and is worth getting if you are a biking fan but maybe not such a good idea if you just like racing games.

Fun:
this game is very good, not as good looking as motogp4 but is very very good. rookie level is probably too easy however it's good to start at this level to learn the game. it seems very easy to slide off with one button for one brake and another for rear brake, but with practice you can master this. lots of settings to change and various types of game, ( challange, race weekend and championship to name a few). only down point in my opinion is that i can not do championship as toseland until i have unlocked him. however i would recommend this game to anyone who is into superbike, could be bikes version of gtr....
