Let me count the lies on the Redline Racer box:

- ten tracks - no, there are three.  I've won all three races and the
***ing thing still won't let me access other tracks or bikes (and
none of the cheats posted on the net work).
- 8 bikes - no, three actually (again, the others are locked up)
- "real world physics" - GMAFB
- option to edit your own bikes - an outright lie
- option to edit your own tracks - an outright lie

Don't believe anything you read on an Ubisoft box!

You should have bought that Ubisoft F1RS instead then!
It has all the tracks the box promises. :) You can also access all of
them without winning even one race.

There is obviously a way to enable the extra tracks and bikes (either
via cheat code or some winning scheme).

Does it not mention anything in the manual?  If there's no mention of
it they why not call UBISofts support line and ask them?

Don't know what the problem is, but within a couple of hours I have opened
all the tracks and seen most of the bikes. All I had to do was win some
races. After that you also get the option to choice from three different
skill levels and the option of running the tracks reversed. I agree with the
"real world physics" being a joke though. Unless they are talking about the
law of gravity and inertia, not the actual bike physics.

You're probably right, but I'm so disappointed in Redline I just can't
see spending another 70 bucks on another Ubiisoft game.
