SBK 09 - Superbike World Championship - Review
Wow! SBK 09 is a truely great Motorbike Racing Game, up there with the best Bike Racing Games ever released.
SBK 09 offers Basic, Arcade, Advanced, Simulation, Extreme and Custom Realism settings allowing the novice racer to get to grips with the motorcycle physics and handling whilst the professional can experience the realistic simulation modes (be warned these are very realistic, and an inexperienced racer will soon find themselves bouncing across the track).
The difficulty level settings provide rookie, amateur, profesional and real settings allowing you to compete against riders that match your abilities, as you improve you can work your way up through the levels.
As this is a Bike Racing Game it does take a little bit of getting used to at first, and you will almost certainly find yourself falling off quite a bit to begin with, but with a little patience and practice you will soon find yourself mastering the corners and winning a few races.
All of the riders and manufacturers bikes from the World Superbike Championship 2009 season are available with all of the tracks perfectly modelled to match the real race tracks including the pits and even the 'umberalla girls'.
The Sound and Music are very good and the Graphics are superb with great attention to detail making the whole experience so realistic, you actually feel yourself leaning into the corners at times!
In addition the 8 player online racing is just the icing on the cake, making this an extremely competitive, thrilling and entertaining racing experience.
