This game is very annoying. Only three tracks (it won't let me access
any of the others, and there are no working cheats I can find),
horrible control (the demo was better), no options (not even basics
like controlling the number of racers or laps) and HORRENDOUS AI (bike
ramming you from behind and such). A real disappointment. Will Ubisoft
ever make a decent arcade racer? I'm starting to doubt it.

I'm assuming that you have to win the races of the playable tracks in
the highest level of difficulty. to be able to access the other
tracks.

My main problem with this arcade racer (as you stated) was the
controls.  It's horrible.  The steering is not sensitive enough, and
give you a huge amount of dead-zone.  When riding, my TM wheel is
always going to the extreme right or left, while everything in-between
does nothing for bike control.  I have no idea how they could have
left this problem in the release.

You're using a steering wheel... on a motorcycle game? OK. Try that in Moto
Racer and your hands will fall.

A steering wheel is closer to a Motorcycles' Handles than a keyboard,
joystick, or gamepad.  I've tried it in MotoRacer also, and I find it
better than any other controller.

I did, but on those dirt bike tracks, no way. I have no problems with a
Gravis Gamepad Pro.
