Castrol Honda Superbike It isn't
a horrible game, but other than offering a strong simulation aspect, there's
not much there. Electronic Arts has proven with the Moto Racer series that it
knows what a good motorcycle racing game is. That's why it is so disappointing
to see that Castrol Honda Superbike is so noticeably inferior. It isn't a
horrible game, but other than offering a strong simulation aspect, there's not
much there.
Castrol Honda Superbike, as the
name implies, is a racing game that exclusively features real Honda RC45 racing
bikes that you can race on 14 real tracks from around the world. The game has
several different settings that let you customize your bike. Most notable are
the different sprocket settings that let you change your bike's gear-ratio
settings. Each gear can be adjusted so that you can tailor and maximize your
motorcycle's performance for each track.
The control of the bikes is
actually quite good, especially when using the Dual Shock controller - one
stick steers the bike while the other adjusts your speed. The bike reacts as it
would in real life, which means that when you're going around a tight turn you
must take it at a reasonable speed so your bike doesn't go slamming into a
wall. If this is a problem for you, the game does offer six different
difficulty settings, some of which have options that help steer your bike for
you while you turn, as well as reduce your bike's speed so that you can make the
turn. The AI of the track's seven computer-controlled bikers isn't anything
special. The bikers just race along the course in a standard staggered style so
that at just about any point in the race you have someone to directly compete
against. If you do decide to race this other player, the game features a
two-player head-to-head split-screen mode.
Visually, the game isn't that
impressive, especially when compared with Moto Racer 2, Electronic Arts'
Motorcycle racer that was released last year. The riders look a little too
polygonal, and their motions aren't all that realistic. Take for instance the
animation of your rider falling off the bike when you crash into a wall or when
he's laying the bike down on it's side when going too quickly into a turn. The rider
comes off the bike as if the hand of God reached down and plucked him off the
bike without letting him move a muscle. Most of the rider's basic animations
look more than a little awkward as well. The tracks themselves look decent, and
the game doesn't suffer from too much pop-up. In the audio department, the game
is nondescript, especially since there isn't any music during the races. The
effects and engine sounds are fairly authentic but don't really keep you
company during the races.
The only players this game would
really appeal to are bike-racing fanatics, who are really into the sport.
Players who aren't won't appreciate the extremely real-world bike physics that
make you take corners at very low speeds. The rest of us, who just think
motorcycle-racing games are fairly neat to play from time to time, should just
stick with Moto Racer 2.
