Remember the Playstation 2 you bought for the kids? Well, if you’re a motorcycle
racing enthusiast—whether actively or from the sidelines—you may need to make a
deal with them to indulge in a little game time of your own. Sony Computer
Entertainment’s new Tourist Trophy is a motorcycle racing game of unprecedented
authenticity that is also quite the guilty pleasure. (Click image to enlarge)
The critically acclaimed
development team at Polyphony Digital—developers of the best-selling auto racing
simulator series, Gran Turismo, with more than 45 million units sold—culls their
acumen for life-like graphics into Tourist Trophy. Players can choose from over
100 current model motorcycles and more than 35 prominent international racing
venues to compete on. The circuits are reproduced in accurate scale right down
to elevation changes, signage, and track markings. (Click image to enlarge)
Tourist Trophy offers one-
or two-players games, with a choice of two difficulty levels—Arcade Mode (for a
single race) or Challenge Mode (where players compete in a career of full racing
series). Players can personalize their rider with a choice of helmets and
leathers, and the customization extends to riding style and body positioning,
which affects the handling and response of the motorcycle in game play.
Buy
Tourist Trophy for the kids, then see if you can beat them.
