3.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great, July 1, 2004

This review is from: Speed Kings (Video Game)

I was and am a huge fan of the road rash series, as well as the Moto GP series (the Xbox one, not the lesser, completely different PS2 game), and so this game felt like a natural fit. I was both happy and disapointed with this game, since I feel that it could have been all that and a bag of chips, yet remains an average arcadey racer.

GRAPHICS: Mediocre AT BEST. I can't believe that people are reviewing this game saying that it has great graphics. There is much, much better on the Xbox (in terms of racing games, check out Moto GP, Burnout 2, Project Gotham 1&2). The background are pretty nice, but the riders and their bikes are like first-gen PS1 graphics.

SOUND: Average. Can't really say that I noticed the sound, good or bad. It's inobtrusive and generally conveys the action pretty well.

CONTROL: Good. It's solid and gives you an arcadey sense of speed, and the tricks are pretty easily pulled. There is a certain "floatiness" to the controls, though, and it doesn't feel nearly as tight or precise as other games.

OVERALL: Decent depth (different modes) adds some replay value, but this is in many ways just a decent, average game. Fun for a while.

4.0 out of 5 stars Road Rash style returns (just not from EA), June 17, 2003

I bought the game because I was a big fan of Road Rash. This game brings back the same feel of high speed, knocking opponents off (no weapons though) and adds a few cool moves like a powerslide to go under obstacles. It also has tricks you can do but they aren't really going to help you in a race, they are put in to help you unlock new bikes and skins. Road Rash and racing game fans should get this game. You will like it. Anyone else, if you are unsure, try a rental first. The game does not support soundtracks, replay saves, or XBOX Live. Lets hope these features are added to Speed Kings 2.
