GameSpot writes: "SBK is an unfriendly game. It assumes that you come to it with a high level of familiarity and comfort with realistic motorcycle racing, and if you don't, it punishes you again and again until you start to learn. It's a shame that it isn't more welcoming to new players, because if you've got the patience to learn how to handle these bikes on the track, you might find yourself having fun. There are certainly less sadistic motorcycle racing games available that make their complexities more accessible. But if you're a serious gearhead who doesn't mind learning things the hard way, you may find that getting comfortable with this game's deep tuning options and realistic racing physics is worth all the scrapes and bruises you'll pick up along the way".

Scorched Angel Writes: As far as racing simulation games go, the gaming genre has come a long way. With standout car racing sims such as Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport ruling the roost on one side, while other games such as MotoGP and SBK taking the other half, being Motorbike racing. Milestone and Deep Silver have just released their new entry into the series: SBK X: Superbike World Championship, and are trying to appeal to audiences new and old by continually expanding on their old simulation formula, while complementing it with another mode to expand into the casual fans, who just want to have a good time. The game they put together is a well crafted, fun experience, which really gives you the feeling of racing around a track and the wind hitting your face, but unfortunately has some drawbacks that keep it from taking the checkered flag.
