In 1999 the game had gorgeous graffix (max rez is 800x600 no matter what your video card is).The replays are great with multiple views from any riders viewpoint.When riding,it even has an onboard view that swings the bike underneath you while keeping your head straight..a very realistic effect (i feel like i'm there) but hard to race in.The game has simulation (manly) & arcade (kiddy) modes and more options under those.Simulation has settings for tire compounds,rebound,compression,tranny ratios,F/R sprocket teeth,rake/trail, and telemetry etc.The physics are very good..you can wheelie & endo etc. I race it in the PRO setting with all the realism settings at max (if you have no heart,turn on the braking/acceleration aids... the bike will ride itself).I can run midpack or better in round one (i don't know other tracks well enough yet).
I read the first review below..that guy just needs to practice(i fell on corners alot at first).The sound could be better,and the throttle is like a dimmer switch...i would like the powerband to 'hit' somewhere.There's also a couple glitches here and there..i bet theres a patch (i havn't looked cause they're so minor).You can ride wheelies if you master the throttle (200ft prob my record).I've played the motoracer series,GP500 etc and superbike world championship holds it's own.I just raced it tonight.I was midpack but washed out the front.I dropped from 14th (of 40) to last.I personally like this game & LOVE it's replays.Multiplayer was glitchy as i remember,no more than four can join solidly(i think it supports 8).
(i'm also a grand prix legends driver...people hated it for it's dificulty as well)
The harder the game,the more sense of pride you feel when you win!!!
I recommend this game.heck,it's probably $10 now.
