Let me count the lies on the Redline Racer box: - ten tracks - no, there are three. I've won all three races and the ***ing thing still won't let me access other tracks or bikes (and none of the cheats posted on the net work). - 8 bikes - no, three actually (again, the others are locked up) - "real world physics" - GMAFB - option to edit your own bikes - an outright lie - option to edit your own tracks - an outright lie Don't believe anything you read on an Ubisoft box!

It has all the tracks the box promises. :) You can also access all of them without winning even one race.

There is obviously a way to enable the extra tracks and bikes (either via cheat code or some winning scheme). Does it not mention anything in the manual? If there's no mention of it they why not call UBISofts support line and ask them?

Don't know what the problem is, but within a couple of hours I have opened all the tracks and seen most of the bikes. All I had to do was win some races. After that you also get the option to choice from three different skill levels and the option of running the tracks reversed. I agree with the "real world physics" being a joke though. Unless they are talking about the law of gravity and inertia, not the actual bike physics. Mike
