Fun:
Bought and played this over the weekend and have to say I am rather imrpessed by the game.
I have previously owned moto GP 06 and moto GP 07 and have bought this to fill the time for moto gp 08.
To start with the game is very easy to pick and play but there also many options for the more daring. There is options like quick race and race weekend along with a full championship, time trials and challenges
Graphically the game is very convincing the riders react in a life-like manner and the bikes look very detailed. The AI is superior to Moto GP, and handling is a lot kinder (you can touch the grass without falling off).
To compare it to a moto gp game:
Pro's - better tuning options/more technical detail, realistic AI, easier to handle
Con's - more basic (if more populated) online experience, less tracks, no custom character.

My first impressions of this game coming straight from playing SBK 07 on the PS2 was that the handling was a bit tame in comparison. But after playing this now and getting used to it and tweaking and testing all the settings I've found its much better than I previously thought.
My only real critisism of this; and many games have the same problem is that there aren't enough difficulty levels in racing games, and the ones they have usually jump up too far in difficulty, Amateur is too easy, I won it with about 250 points to spare over my closest rival, and Professional level too difficult for me to win a season with, I don't even get close, so you can see the huge gap there is in the levels, it would have been great if they had smaller margins between difficulties and more of them, then when a player improves they can step up to just the right amount, this problem won't be so for everyone, but if you do find yourself in the same position it can spoil it somewhat.
Graphics are nice, bike dashs are great, handling and ai are good, and its great fun to play online, and there's a demo on Xbox live marketplace if you want to check it out.
Incidentally the same makers of this game are releasing Moto GP 08 next month under the 'Capcom' publishing name , so expect that to be very similar, but of course with all the tracks and riders of the Moto GP season.

I've found this to be a better game than either of the 360 versions of Moto GP. Okay, graphically, Moto GP 07 is a lot better, but to be honest the lack of track detail doesn't detract from the racing. The most annoying thing about Moto GP was the god-awful AI that would knock you off at every corner. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be an issue with SBK. Overall this is a decent motorbike racer with some realistic sim options for the fanatic. If you enjoyed Moto GP this is worth a go!

Great sim... completely ruined by its controls
Great simulation, great physics, a great game inside out if not for the controls. I really, really don't understand how in the world do people control this game. Read more

Better than Moto GP 08
There is a lot to love about SBK 08. For a start it doesn't have the suicidal AI of the Moto GP series and that alone makes this a better purchase. Read more

OK, but not ground-breaking
It's a good fun game, but seems to lack some depth and playability.
