Surprised this game is getting so little discussion. It's another sleeper hit from Kylotonn, just like WRC 7 last year.

Insane sense of speed. Unbelievable challenge. An ideal blend of sim and arcade.

No lie - there is an extremely addictive aura to this game that makes it so hard to put down, once you pick it up.

It's the most enjoyable motorcycle racing game I've played since MotoGP and MotoGP 2 on the original Xbox in 2002 and 2003. And I've played many of them since, on asphalt and dirt.

Seriously.

I’ve been to busy playing this game...sense of speed, tracks, and controls is fantastic.

I also bought it on a whim after briefly watching a vid and reading about it on another forum that mainly focuses on motorsport.

Glad you're digging it, Sausage!

Man, this game is such a rare gem. It's one of the few racing titles in which I shake my head at least once every time I play it and mutter, "What a game, what a game."

They really nailed the sense of speed and I just enjoy time trialing each available track. Even my brother a very casual gamer bought it.

Spent far too long playing Isle of Man TT this afternoon -- no guilt, though! Game is too much fun.

Finally drilled down on the assists package I like the most. Low assists for all except for wheelie control on medium. Racing line and combined brakes on, manual shifting. Feels like the best combination of help and road feel for me.

I was locked into the Honda Supersport until I tried the Triumph. Hmm. That bike has more speed, acceleration and torque than the Honda, but it's not as nimble. Planted exiting corners, but pretty sluggish in quick transitions. Decisions, decisions.

Tried the Yamaha Supersport. Man, that bike is twitchy-quick to change directions. But it lacks top end and is hairy as eff under braking.

Good Lord, IOM TT will be my Game of the Year, easily, at this rate. I've sunk a TON of blissful hours into it so far in the last two weeks. What an effing game.

So far I haven’t adjusted any default assists, they have been just right for me. My times have per lap are a bit on the slower end, because my goal has been to make each lap without dropping off the bike (very successful so far).

What is your best time around the mountain so far, I haven’t tackled it yet, but will this week (I’m off for 5 days!!)

*Fun tip
In the offline multiplayer option, you can easily practice riding up to 8 different bikes, since it’s a pass the controller type game mode.

Fun way to learn tracks and bikes.

Heads up; after the first race, the following races don’t have sounds (possible sound glitch).

Glaring omission, sadly: Suzuki. The manufacturer probably wanted too large of a licensing fee.

Can't wait for sidecars to be added in May as free DLC. I'd love to see electric bikes (TT Zero) and Lightweights added, too. Hell, I would gladly pay for them!
