Harley Davidson Motorcycles: Race Across America is a game whose title says it all--players select a bike and then try to beat other riders in a highway race. This is a perfect choice for racing fans with fast reflexes and nerves of steel.

The fundamentals of driving are easy enough to learn in this game, but handling your Harley and maintaining a winning speed can be tricky. It is very easy to hit the ditch, oncoming traffic, or even your race competitors. Fortunately, there are no ramifications if you lose control and crash into a semi. Unlike the real world, all that is lost in a collision is precious time. Players must also budget crucial seconds to filling their fuel tanks--gas runs out fast and often.

Like many racing simulators, Race Across America offers real world course options, from Wisconsin--where the Harley Davidson company is based--to California, Utah, and Arizona. The scenery in these courses is rendered fuzzily, but that is unimportant. The terrain goes by quickly, and if you want to stay in the race, there's no time to admire the view.

Race Across America offers on- and offline play, quick races, and a tournament mode, where players spend race winnings to customize their hogs. After a few preliminary rounds, there is a final race in Sturgis, with a chance to win a classic 1956 KHK motorcycle. Are you up to the challenge? --Alyx Dellamonica

I got this game with a value pack. It wasn't better than Railroad Tycoon 2, but definitely better than Aiport Tycoon.
Pros: graphics and scenerio are beautiful
easy to control the bikes esspecially someone that is not into racing type games
Cons:The races in the game in too short, so there is no save button
You can't damage your bike or anything like that
After playing through the race you are instantly bored with the game
You get about 5 bikes which that...
Only one scenerio make it to Sturgis Bike Rally which is too easy you just have to ride through three cities and you don't get disqualified even if you dead last

This game could have been a great game for men and women to enjoy, if they would have just add more to it.

Really super way of touring America. However it is best to CHEAT a little! When driving Arizona, turn right just after the 'water bags' sign, roaring off road through the desert and it's pillars. Turn right again to get back on the roadway, at the red 'Therma Shave' signs, and you should be in first place to find the 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', with a fuel efficient fast bike. I won the Gold Trophy and a purse of cash. Some programmers would have blown my tires off for this, but WizardWorks has some good guys and gals doing the programming, so I am a winner! Please let me know if you find the 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', that I discovered. They are ruling the Middle East today, as they did a thousand years ago.
