Super Bike game from EA

I'm dowloading it from www.digitalsports.com Here's the scoop for those who are wondering what's the difference between this demo and the previous one (besides the size): "Superbike World Championship Demo (47.3MB) EA Sports has released a demo of a title that *** Interactive was working on prior to their buyout, and we have it for you right here at Digital Sportspage. Mind you, it's a very big download (almost 50MB), and it will take a long time to transfer (2 hours at v90 speeds). This playable demo provides a taste of the full game, allowing you to race a three lap ACTION race at Monza on Carl Fogarty's Ducati 916, against 7 computer controlled riders. You can also view the setup options and telemetry monitor available in the Simulation mode of the full game. The graphics options and control setup can be tuned to best suit your computer's performance and your own controller preferences. See our digital press kit for more information." I will download the demo and let you know what I think (if you're interested!) Philster
I just finished trying out the new demo. The main reason why it's so big is because Ea decided to include a video intro (which is quite beautiful but probably pretty big). The demo is version 2.0 and there's a difference with the old version. No, you still can't race in simulation mode, but the biggest concern was address: the controls. They are a lot less sluggish than in the other demo. Now, you can easily do the left-right combo when driving through the chicanes. My only problem was that my wheel (a TM Grand prix 1) had to be turned all the way to the right or left in order to be able to make it through turns (something I never do with other sims). But I really like the fact that the responsiveness of the controls is improved. This game is gonna be great! When you hit another cyclist, he makes angry gestures! (at least I think that's what I saw before he was catapulted of his motocycle!). Philster

True... but what type of controller do you suggest? a joypad (like the one you use to play Playstation games) or a joystick? Until they make a controller that works specially for bike sims, I think a wheel is the best controller. How else can you control the gas and brake? Philster
