Plot

Cyberbykes is a futuristic motorcycle racing game with car combat elements. It takes place in a dystopian future wherein a group called the World Treaty Organization (WTO) has gained power throughout the world, stockpiling weapons in the process. The player combats the WTO with an armed "cyberbyke" vehicle. [2]

Reception

In PC Gamer US , Steve Poole offered Cyberbykes a negative review, writing, "The single-player game is a bust, and there are plenty of games with network support that are more fun than this." [1] Computer Game Review was similarly negative: the game has "not one shred of originality in game play, design or plot," the reviewers said. [2] Writing for Computer Gaming World , Peter Olafson compared the game unfavorably to other racing titles on the market, and called it "rather woeful and dated". [4] PC Zone 's Charlton Brooker was harsher still, giving the game a "Pants" award and calling it "horrid". [3]
