as a chick I saw this advertised and thought it looked brill!

[castrolcraig]

got it this afternoon, half way through championship mode on real and leading by 12 points...

[RemaL]

only spent about 10 mins on it. first impressions are its crap, hope it gets better

[Digby]

Tourist Trophy on the PS2 is probably still my fave bike racing game.Same people who did Gran Turismo.I like it for the fact you can pick it up, jump on a busa/gsxr/numerous other road bikes and go blast around the ring etc and not even bother to play the 'proper' game.If you get the USA version, and you have a component lead for your PS2, you can also enable a 1080i mode which sharpens up the looks.

I spent ages on it using the photo mode too when it first came out (sad I know).Some of the snaps can be made to look superb when printed out though

Loads of vids on youtube of it..

we had the makers of tt08 in yesterday, they asked the lads to put the tt bikes on the dyno so would get the exact sound right.

TT ont he PS2 was amazing. hope they do it for the PS3

OK, so what's best on the XBox 360 - SBK08 or MotoGP 07?

[RemaL]

I should not really cooment as I have not played superbike much but both are crap so far. my mind might changed when I try and get into superbike

[amare32]

Got SBK08 for the PSP, graphics are a bit iffy...the game plays ok in arcade mode but quite hard once you switch the driver aids off in simulation mode. A bit difficult judging the braking with buttons as opposed to your feet in real life. Will probably take a bit of time to really get into it.

The xbox version certainly looks nice. Don't have an xbox, tempted to get one but not sure if I could justify buying one just so I can play the game.

I'd say that Tourist Trophy on the PS2 is still the best bike game I've played so far - rather strange it didn't feature the IOM course though.

Have you got MotoGP? How does it compare? Moto is truly epic, you really have to work at it, so rewarding!

Seen the ad for this on tv when I've been watching the superbikes, looks nice. I'll get the demo down and give it a try. The previous games by these guys were decent so hope it's good.
