Anybody got anything good or bad to say about Super Bike 2000?

Thanks

It is a great Bike Sim...

Maybe not quite as good as GP500. but certainly not far off.

It's a pity the network code is terrible :-(

But DEFINATELY worth a look into if you like bike sims....

Great looking, pretty damn difficult, absolutely awful online play, and
mine's developed a new bad habit - I just can't stop wheelieing in
races...I'm certain it never used to do it, but it does now. Same setup in
practice, qualifying, etc, everything runs just fine, but in race, can't
keep the front end down. Guess I've set something wrong...

Nice game.

Well, I can't load saved replays on it, which is a bit irritating, but it's
a terrific looking game. I don't think it quite matches GP500 except in
special effects (which GP500 has very little of) and spectacular camera
angles. It's also very hard, as are all bike games. Well worth owning
though, because the tracks look amazing.

You can toggle the rider position from upright to ducked behind the fairing.
If the rider is sitting upright, the bike will tend to wheelie. To stop this,
toggle
the rider to the ducked position. When slowing for corners, toggle the rider
back
to the upright position to act as an "air brake" Just like the real riders do
:)

Very good Graphics, good controller interface (much better
than RC2K), particularly good sound,
the only problem: manuel shifting doesn't function
which is a problem, because you have to accelerate in 1st gear
out of the most corners and this ends bad often.
(excuse my bad english)
