Super Bike 2k?

Anybody got anything good or bad to say about Super Bike 2000? Thanks Vamp

Great looking, pretty damn difficult, absolutely awful online play, and mine's developed a new bad habit - I just can't stop wheelieing in races...I'm certain it never used to do it, but it does now. Same setup in practice, qualifying, etc, everything runs just fine, but in race, can't keep the front end down. Guess I've set something wrong...

Well, I can't load saved replays on it, which is a bit irritating, but it's a terrific looking game. I don't think it quite matches GP500 except in special effects (which GP500 has very little of) and spectacular camera angles. It's also very hard, as are all bike games. Well worth owning though, because the tracks look amazing.

It is a great Bike Sim... Maybe not quite as good as GP500. but certainly not far off. It's a pity the network code is terrible :-( But DEFINATELY worth a look into if you like bike sims.... James Pickard Vamp <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You can toggle the rider position from upright to ducked behind the fairing. If the rider is sitting upright, the bike will tend to wheelie. To stop this, toggle the rider to the ducked position. When slowing for corners, toggle the rider back to the upright position to act as an "air brake" Just like the real riders do :) Colin Harris wrote:

Very good Graphics, good controller interface (much better than RC2K), particularly good sound, the only problem: manuel shifting doesn't function which is a problem, because you have to accelerate in 1st gear out of the most corners and this ends bad often. (excuse my bad english)
