Rating: - Kids Game
My 7 yo rented this game from the movie gallery once, so that is what prompted me to buy it. Imo, this game is perfect for a child. The crashes are pretty cool for a kid, but the bodies are not mangled or bloody, they just get back on that bike. This was the first game my son played in which he had to learn to use more of the controller for stunts. I think it was a good one to start off with.
Rating: - SAVES JUST FINE!
This game saves just fine for me, I don't know what those other folks are talking about! On the other hand, however, the game is really just so-so and it gets repetitive real fast. So, if you're a really big fan of superbikes and really liked Burnout, give it a try, but otherwise, well, it's just OK.
Rating: - GAME DOES NOT SAVE
I really wish I had read these reviews before I purchased this game. Lesson learned the hard way. This game WILL NOT SAVE. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Rating: - Do u like Superbikes and Extreme Street Racing?
**NOTE: Game has a major save error issue meaning some people can not and will not be able to save games. Just type in the player name ".meet6" without the quotes and you will unlock everything in the game.**
Shame that it has this bug on the PS2 meaning winning the game without the cheat is not possible for most.Bah.
If you ever watched the videos of Ghost Rider the infamous Euro biker who does 300KM speeds through town, then you may want to play something close to that, in which case SK is what you need. To be honest you are much better off playing MOTO GP on the PC or GP3 on the PS2 for a real bike sim, but for off road arcade then SK is really enjoyable... if you like bikes.
The graphics are little better than Nintendo 64 quality, but the crash physics are up there with Burnout 2, but not Burnout 3. The whole point to the game though is traffic weaving and if that is what you want then SK scores in aces. You can also do ramps, skids, stunts on the bike, boost and even surf your bike under a lorry. You play up against 5 other bikers over 14 big circuits and the rush of superbiking through the streets is all there. If that is what you want then SK is what you need. If you are not into bikes that much then drop it for a car game with better graphics but to be honest if you want to ride then do it on a superbike.
The next generation game producers who can make a game like the Ghost Rider videos should really win the bucks from the consumer if they can make something like that. Please do if you can.
Rating: - Save Error Issue
After you complete a couple of levels you may come across a saving error. When you save onto your memory card and shut your PS2 system down the game may not have saved. The next time you play the game you may start off where you started the last time you started playing the game.
