Once you get the bike to where you want it, it is essential to ride it and get a feel for it. Sometimes though it is just the rider that needs work. It shocked me how a simple tune this or that way can change the way the bike handles completely. Raise the suspension on the back and lower the front, lower the tension on the chain, or lower the gear ratio. For example if the bike skids and slides a bit when you come out of a turn you can do a couple things. All can be tweaked to provide an overall change in the bike or just a specific change. Gear ratios, suspension tunings, chain tension, even the kind of tires you put on can be changed.
There are alot of options and it can get confusing but a tips button helps out. If you want the bike more attuned to yourself though, you will learn to tune it yourself. Tell him where it hurts and he will try and fix it. You have your engineer to rely on when you do not know how to tune your bike. Alot of straight lines? more on top speed and less reactive. If the track is more curvy, then the bike needs to be tuned to be more reactive and more toward the acceleration side. In story mode a few rounds of practice are given before the actual race, this is where you get used to the track and tune the bike accordingly. What you get to choose is a extensive mode of options that tweak your bike to the way you want to ride it and what is best for the track. All of that is chosen when you pick your team. You don’t get to pick the make, model, or colors of your bikes. Any real racer knows that it isn’t what’s on the outside of the car or bike but its what is under the hood and how the car or bike is personalized to the driver. In story mode you pick a team to ride with and take on the SBK curcuit. It is the only way you can play story mode. Simulation mode is main course of the game. Arcade mode is really easy to pick up and play. Using the X button to “Boost” on Straight-a-ways involving alot of screen blurring. This is the mode to choose if you have friends over that want to get stuck into some arcade action without the difficulty of a racing sim. It has two modes that change the gameplay. This is the heart and soul of racing games. Most if not all simulation racers do not have a story so lets move on to what counts, the gameplay. Its touch of realism is nice and refreshing compared to the other well known Motorcycle game, Moto GT. Have you noticed that game has little to no Speed cycles or Superbikes in it? That is where SBK X comes in. If you are into simulation racing, you are most likley playing that other game that came out recently with 1000 cars in it. I find it totally odd that SBK X came out in europe on June 7th yet, the US release date is six months later. Release Date: June 7th 2010 (EU), Dec 7th 2010 (US) Game Name: SBK X SuperBike World Championship
