Sadly SBKX makes crashes only a momentary distraction and you're back on the undamaged bike within seconds. The solid scalable simulation mode is the key draw here, as you can tailor the propensity for your rider to fall off, along with braking and turning abilities to your own skill level.Īs with superbike's less manly cousin, F1, you're likely to witness some sickening crashes to see if riders' internal organs remain in their rightful place. Arcade allows you to hop on and ride almost unhindered on a full range of officially licensed bikes and tracks and the console fun continues with the boost key, which drains the screen of colour as the speed ramps up.

The game starts promising enough, and mirrors SBK 09s range of modes. So it's strange that SBK X seems so anodyne. Just you, some leather and a Freudian metaphor between your legs, and all for the insanity of riding at mad speeds just one mistake from total carnage. I Have Always considered superbikes the pinnacle of 'grr' manliness. Even in the heat of a race, play feels slow and calm, like you’re going for a casual ride. Perhaps the biggest complaint about this game is that although you are riding motorbikes often referred to as “Crotch rockets” for a reason, there’s no real sense of speed. The game is almost entirely full of presets that can’t be changed.Īlthough this is fairly expected in motorcycle games, the ability to customize bikes or your own track would have added a lot of depth to the game. While SBK X: Superbike World Championship allows you to customize outfits and helmets in the game, it doesn’t allow much customization anywhere else. The realistic sim holds nothing back, and there’s no tutorial to help ease the learning curve.

Try to ride a race when the weather is wet and you’ll truly realize how complex the simulator can be.

The arcade mode allows you to pick-up-and-play with no previous experience in motorcycle games, while the simulator mode requires a deep understanding of motorcycle mechanics. The races happen in a variety of different settings. Work your way up from Superstock to Supersport, and finally Superbike to come out on top and be the champion of them all. The game features an enormous number of races divided into three different classes.
