SBK 07 Superbike World Championship Preview - PSP

We like a good racing game on our handhelds, and the new version of Superbike looks like it may finally open up the field from the usual car based fare, to finally give two wheeled racing a mainstream success. SNK 07, or Superbike 2007 if you prefer, features official bikes and riders as well as well-known circuits, but it’s the gameplay and other riders’ AI that bring this game to life. This looks like being the first PSP game to capture the feeling of racing on a motorbike.

SBK 07 Superbike World Championship Preview - PSP
Motorbike racers have always operated in a quiet niche, with only Yu Suzuki’s Hang On series and maybe Polyphony Digital’s Tourist Trophy breaking out into the mainstream consciousness like the big car driving titles. Developer Milestone is obviously hoping to open things up with its detailed and enthusiastic take on the world of superbike racing.
Boasting an official license from the titular SBK series, the game boasts all of the bikes and riders from the latest season as well as ten of the well-known circuits and, for that extra touch of environmental realism, a range of four different weather conditions. In the PSP version we’ll see 14 riders taking to the Tarmac, each with competitive AI, all jostling for space on the knife-edge racing line. Importantly, Milestone – a seasoned bike sim specialist – has gone for ultra realistic physics, capturing the unique feel of motorcycle racing through the movement of the machine and the rider. You’re not in a car any more.
