Default Re: Best Console Motorcycle Racing Game?

For racing: SBK08 is pretty good. On simulation difficulty it's impossible, you'll either go wide on every bend or lowside it, guaranteed. Basic/Arcade settings and it's a lot more fun. Haven't played MotoGP08 but the general consensus from gamers is that it's not a patch on 07.

For roads: Test Drive Unlimited has a pretty good selection of bikes (two Ninjas, Daytona, Speed Triple, Agusta, and two Dukes) and combine that with the multiplayer and the entire island of Oahu and you have a virtual rideout! It has finally beaten the previous 'rideout' game which was Road Rash 3D (really)

Burnout Paradise has bikes which are fun but the game isn't up to much when using them - there's hardly anything to do with them compared to the cars, and you have to register with EA to play online (spits)

Midnight Club LA only has three bikes but one of them is the Ninja ZX-14 and it completely dominates everything else in the game once you get it. I really enjoyed Midnight Club, though again the emphasis will be on cars and you have to play for a bit to unlock everything.

Oh, and there's always GTAIV... make sure you put the 'Spawn NRG900' cheat in your phone as they're hard things to find if you wipe out and it explodes/you die/you get arrested.
