Have any of you guys played TT Superbikes (http://www.jesterinteractive.com/ttsuperbikes/) at all? If not then I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes their bike racing sims, as it is probably a fair bit closer to the real thing than Tourist Trophy. It also features the entire Isle of Man TT course which tbh makes for a worthwhile purchase on its own.
"The most incredible motorcycle computer game is finally ready - after three years in development. TT Superbikes is a console game like no other, not only because of its incredibly accurate bike simulation, but also because every inch of the Isle of Man TT circuit has been faithfully recreated. And we mean every inch. Where there's overbanding, manhole covers or pot holes on the Island, it's in the game. The Manx Tourist Board helped behind the scenes, as did the likes of Valmoto's Jack Valentine, Taz Suzuki, John McGuinness, Peter Duke and the late David Jefferies, which ensures that the game's 37.73 mile course is as challenging and intense as the real deal. Game modes include Mad Sunday, replete with traffic, split-screen two player races and tutorials to learn every corner. If you ever plan a visit to the TT, play this first." BIKE Magazine
"The first console game to get even close to replicating how a real bike reacts, this stunning game takes you round the TT course on virtually any machine you fancy, including sidecars. The graphics and gameplay are fantastic." Motorcycle Racer
ALL ABOUT THE GAME...
The most anticipated motorcycle game for Playstation 2! TT Superbikes is the definitive game in terms of playability, graphical elements, fun, and realism. At the same time engrossing the users in gameplay brimming with rewards and replay value.
The game features over 50 bikes from all the major bike manufacturers, which can be raced over the world famous 37.73-mile course. The course has been mapped accurately using data supplied by the Isle of Man government and data captured by the development team.
As well as traditional racing, the game also features a mad Sunday mode. Mad Sunday is an exciting event with riders of all abilities coming from all corners of the world to have the chance of riding at high speeds over the Mountain circuit during TT race week. The player will not only have other bikers to worry about but will have to avoid high-speed traffic, thus creating even more excitement than the norm.
TT Superbikes also has several multiplayer options including 2 player split screen and a sidecar mode of play.
Key Features
* The most extreme road race in the world since 1907.
* 37.73 miles of dangerous, intense racing.
* On Mad Sunday take to the road against on-coming traffic!
* Game modes allow exciting full-grid challenges with ten bikes fighting for the finish line.
* Two players can compete in a split screen race,
* Tutorials take the player through every corner of the course.
* Silky smooth 60fps.
* Riders and Superbikes respond precisely to controls with fully dynamic physics model.
* Race at different times of day with dynamic weather systems depicted with next-generation particle systems.
* Circuits have been surveyed using the latest surveying equipment allowing us to recreate the track to near perfection!
For purchases outside of the UK, please check that your PS2 and TV are PAL compliant.
The last sentence is a bit of a concern, I don't know if that's just because I took that text from a UK site or because they haven't released an NTSC version. Hopefully the former. :?
Anyway it's well worth a look, even though it's not quite as good looking as TT the game itself's a good 'un. :)
(Not to be confused with 'Suzuki TT Superbikes' which by all accounts is just crap)
