Negative Positive
Title: Nice try, but too buggy
Review: EA Sports has made a number of changes to the great sim, Superbike. While they have some nice graphics and physics going for them, it's just not well tested and sorted. One of the most frustrating aspects of the game is the inconsistent difficulty levels of the tracks. If you play at a challenging level on one track, you'll be way faster than the field on the next. Other than that, the game just isn't up to modern standards. The menus are clunky and slow. The "announcer" is annoying and often gets it wrong. The sound files don't sound anything like race bikes. In the original game you could restart a race if you crashed. In SB 2000 the documentation claims you can still restart in single race mode, but that feature is not actually available. It's interesting that several other "reviewers" claim that you can still restart. Makes you wonder if they're gamers or marketers.
Is the review positive or negative?
