Gameplay

The player controls a motorcyclist (default names are A.Slight and C.Edwards) in races on various international race tracks. Game modes are "Single Race" (practice a single course), "Championship" (race the whole season), "2 Player Race" (splitscreen against human player on a single course) and "2 Player Championship" (splitscreen against human player of the whole season). The field consists of 24 riders including human participants, however, because of the limitations of PlayStation hardware, a maximum of seven AI riders are viewed simultaneously. Game options include "Difficulty" (Novice, Amateur, Professional), "Length of race" (3, 5, 10 laps or "full race" of 100 km). Under "Skill Tests" (Amateur, Professional), steering assistance, braking assistance and damage can be activated. In the bike setup, gearbox (automatic or manual), gear ratios and tyres can be modified. The game features some graphical special effects like sun lens flares, earth trails when driving on grass and metallic glare effects on the bikes in replay mode.
