I've been looking forward to the release of this game since I first saw it advertised months before it came out. Maybe that anticipation built up my expectations too much. I was really looking forward to a motorcycle version of my favorite game Gran Turismo 3. This game is for better or worse the closest thing out there right now. MotoGP is a great game with good looking graphics and challenging game play but is limited to GP bikes and race tracks. With Riding Spirits you get your choice of real world motorcycles and street courses. I haven't played too deep into the game yet but have started to get a feel for it. Some pluses are - A fast build up to good bikes. It doesn't take too much time or money before you can purchase a GSX-750R or YZF-R6. There are a lot of aftermarket accessories too. I was pleased to see I could equip my rider with my own Arai and Shoei helmets, and I'm looking forward to trying out my own FZ1 and V-Max. Tracks are well designed and allow for a lot of high speeds. The physics are decent but not perfect. You have to remember to treat handling different than that of a car racing game. Once you have that down it's a lot of fun. The minuses would be - Poor graphics. The bikes are big and blocky. Colors and shading don't transistion well giving the game a slightly cartoonish look. Frustrating handling. If you run wide on any curve and touch grass you loose tremendous distance with the rider in front of you. I would expect slow down in sand but it's bad everywhere. All in all it's a fun enough game but I'm still waiting for Sony to include motorcycles in Gran Turismo 4 or better yet an all motorcycle version.
