Many people are giving bad reviews, stating that the game has poor graphics and is unplayable. This is not true, but, you have to work at it to get the best from it. The game is very hard at first and the learning curve is steep. Sure, you will fall off at first for no apparent reason, but, if you keep practicing you will get better and the game then comes into its own. I've been playing for around two weeks and am starting to get a feel for the bikes. Forget the big 1000cc bikes to start with, they are simply too fast at first. Use one of the lesser powered 600cc bikes and learn the track on that. The power is more manageable and it makes life a lot easier. You can have some really good racing in the 600cc class. Once you've mastered the control of the bike the game is really good fun and you can throw the bike around and the game becomes so much easier to master. If you want a game where you can just pick up the controller and go in 5 minutes it's not the game for you. But if you are prepared to take some time to learn the bikes and the tracks and master the controls, it's very rewarding to play. As for the graphics being terrible, well I find them quite good, maybe not the best, but plenty good enough. If like me you got the game on sale (£8) in the PlayStation store, then it really is a bargain!! Don't listen to the negative comments and give it a try, if you're like me, you'll be pleasantly surprised!!
