Super Bike World Championships SBK for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

On my quest to find a motorcycle racing games that portrays the speed and real essence of the sport. This is one of the first ones that I have played in a while and although an older title I was hoping for something that represented those things. What I got was the typically mushy controls that seem to come with super bike type games. I feel like the speed of the sport is poorly represented. Although I imagine racing in real life requires a ton of smoothness I feel like it takes away from the potential feel of speed the game might have provided. Have to be honest I spent less than an hour with the game but that was enough to know that I did not want to spend much more time than that. I can't think of a better way to improve the controls as a hand held controller simply can't deliver the feel of a bike.

Bottom line is that I am hoping for something with the quality of Gran Turismo 5 and I have yet to find it and doubt it exist in the realm of motor cycle racing games. To be honest I think I would rather spend my time with GT5 or a more arcade style bike game.

Oh yeah, the audio of the bikes were terrible and the soundtrack was even worse.

I would say that you can leave this behind and maybe try one of the newer Moto GP games although I have played a few demos of those and was not super impressed either.

The game had major potential but it was so sucked and drained out like a hoover vacuum. How games like Uncharted 1 & 2 can run seamlessly with no download data makes it inexcusable when it happens to other games. The save function was on a wonk overdrive and the game was constant load happy.

I have little patience today as I have been gaming for 35 years and stuff like this irritates me. As for the racing I thoroughly enjoyed it when I finally made it there. I gave this a 6
