Pros: Plays like Gran Turismo on two wheels. The aerodynamics of high-speed racing have been factored in to give you a realistic riding experience on a range of real bikes and race courses. The graphics aren't bad and the racing presents you with some novel challenges.
Cons: The settings and a good deal of the scenery has been pillaged from sister title Gran Turismo 4, so the look is familiar. However, there is less customisation of bikes allowed than there is with cars in Gran Turismo.
Verdict: Biking simulators are hard to pull off outside arcades but this is the best to come to the console yet.
Censor's classification: G
Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding Simulator (PS2)
