Best Console Motorcycle Racing Game?

We having a day at the Uni where I work to promote motorcycling.

One thing we are going to do to attract people is have a lap time shootout on a bike racing game, with the person with the fastest lap winning a prize.

Just canvassing opinion on what everyone thinks would be the best game to use.

Personally the only game i've got is Tourist Trophy on the PS2.

I think the organisers want to go with a PS3 or Xbox 360 on the day as they are a bit more upto date consoles.

Does anyone know if PS2 games work on a PS3?

At the mo i'm leaning towards TT, but there are a few new ones like SBK-08 and motoGP 08 but i've never played them.

Any suggestions for games to use would be appreciated, or any that are ****e to avoid.

Cheers
Mike

MotoGP 2008 (by capcom) is really good, i like the handling on it. The Namco ones are very arcadey and crap.

The early Moto GP games on PS2 really were poop. However the original one on PC, that they first bought out on Xbox was real good.

However for me, TT was the very best.

I've got SBK-08 for PS3 I've on played it a few times, but it was pretty good to play. Steering is slightly oversensitve on it though, but you soon get used to it.

Its definately better to play than the Moto GP games on PS2 were.

Tourist Trophy is the daddy.

Some interesting handling defects and obvious favoritism but absoulute quality and detail that you expect from the Gran Turismo mob. Got to say I'm a GT junkie so am slightly biased.

I would be out for a PS3 the tomorrow if TT2 came out. Hey we can dream!?

Yup deffo, if you lean too far over the front under hard braking you sort of stoppie and step it out into a corner. Love it.

I miss my ps2 simply for tourist trophy. Its so realistic, and a huge shame they never made a newer version for the ps3. I would probably buy a ps3 just for that game.

I believe PS2 games can only be played on the 60GB version of the PS3.

Only some of them, others will play but jog constantly and some will just crash.

Moto GP 08 is the first bike game i ever played and although i like it, compared to most car racing games out atm it seems rubbish, but then i find it very hard on simulation and have become addicted already!

Not a racing game as such, and hardly realistic, but Burnout Paradise on the PS3 (and PC) is pretty decent. The bike pack was added a few months ago as free DLC.
