Out tomorrow IIRC, anybody know where I can find a review of it? Supposed to be very realistic from what I've read.

How's about a review then Pwig? Saw this on the shelves over the weekend, and was sorely tempted...

seems like fun, certainly graphically down on the likes of gt4. the brakes seem pretty touchy, and the display makes the road feel narrow (maybe it is!) but that makes it very hard to get any good at it.
I guess it wil come with time, but since im the third learning lesson, and strugging - its going to be a long game, or gathering dust very soon..

Last night, I won a couple of 1000cc races in Arcade mode and finally unlocked the TT course, all 37.73 miles of it. I've done two laps so far (43 minutes!). It's very, very realistic, and GPL hard to grasp. That said, it's rewarding, and the on-bike views give a cracking impression of speed. The graphics are ok at best, and appalling compared to something like GT4, but who cares? It's gameplay that matters, and this has it in spades. It's one of only two games I can think of (GPL being the other one) where it's just as much fun to do a free run on an empty track as it is to race other people

The only problem when playing this game is time seems to fly by, one min its 6pm, you look at your clock again and it is 11pm
