It is not a very nice game as once you hit the walls,you will fall.It takes a long time to get back on the bike.Thus,slowing you down.The good thing is that it is very challenging as the tracks get harder all the time.So if you are a racing maniac,you should get it.

I've played many racing games in my time, and this one rises above the pack, particularly in the arcade category.First, there are the graphics. Nice. Fast, clean, crisp, and bright. And there's lots of neat stuff going on in the background, like birds flying by overhead or windmills turning. Granted, today most games feature graphics that make old PSX games look pathetic, but style in graphics is forever, and the graphics in this game will always look great. They look just like a Daytona USA or Ridge Racer arcade game.

Then, there is the control. I must say, this is the only racing game I ever played where I actually WANTED to use one analog for steering and the other for braking. It just feels PERFECT. Control is also made more interesting by the turbo wheelies (the boost) which speed you up, but make it almost impossible to turn. Strategy in the controls? You bet.

The music and sound are VERY arcade-like. If you dig that sort of thing, you'll be very pleased. If you DON'T, well, it's pretty good for arcade-style.

Where this game really shines is replay value. Long after you've played through a season on the excellent and varied street and off-road tracks, you'll be coming back for more. You see, all of the tracks are awesome. You've got a snow track, a jungle track, a desert track, a beach track (you get the idea, every kind of eye-candy dressing you could imagine), and every track is very unique. There isn't one track that feels just like the other. And you can unlock mirrored and reversed modes for each track (and select them both for mirrored and reversed at the same time). And there is the code that makes every track at night, essentially doubling the replay value once again (thanks to GREAT lighting effects). And let's not forget the pocket bikes that look ridiculous and go so fast you'll be flying off your bike left and right.

All in all, I would call this game a somewhat under-appreciated classic. It's one of the best arcade-style games to be found for a console system, and even the sequels could never quite match the simple genius of the original. If you love racing games, this one is must-have.

i like the game but it is kind of arcadeish. the bikes are neat and the sounds are neat.the game is fast even in easy but it dosen't take long before your lap times drop and the game gets more fun. its great in replay to see the bike your riding perform, you can relax and watch as your to busy while your playing to enjoy how the bikes look in action. and there is to few motor cycle racing games to play so enjoy.

This game came out in 1997 by Electronic Arts.It has eight tracks I beat them all in less than an hour.It is a fun game but really simple.If you like a challenge it might be hard for you but not for me well buy it if you want a fantastic great game OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
