The best motor bike racing game I've ever played was Moto Racer. It was a very popular Playstation and PC game last year. So you can imagine how excited I was to hear they were coming out with a sequel to this awesome game. Moto Racer 2 is here. Its basically the same game with different levels and a new track editor feature which allows one to create your very own racing environment. But what levels they are. Moto racer 2 has a ton of tracks. I was ectatic when i saw this. Plus with the track editor, the hours of play possibilities are endless. Moto 2 also added new weather conditions such as rain, snow, sunrise to sunset. When the sun goes down that's when some of the best graphics come out to shine. Moto Racer 2 still features multiple views such as the first person perspective. Which is a real rush to play. If you've ever been on a bike of any kind, you'll enjoy this tremendously. Moto Racer 2 features both dirt bikes and super bikes each they're very own tracks. That's one of the things that makes Moto Racer 1 & 2 one the best bike racers ever. Moto Racer is also known for its speed. When I play a racing game I don't want to leave my faith in the speedometer to tell me I'm going 103mph. I want to FEEL like I'm doing over a hundred. A racing game has got to be fast. I hate a slow racing game. Its my pet peeve. My other pet peeve in video games is the sound FX and music. I can't stand it when a game puts top notch graphics into a game and totally annoying or boring music. That's not the case with Moto Racer 2. It features some truly cool tunes, okay I have heard better, but at least I'm hearing something. I truly madly deeply love this game. I will play it long after its prime. Which shows its a great game. If you haven't ever played Moto Racer yet, I recommend trying Moto Racer 1 which is now available in the Greatest Hits collection. So as low as $19.95 you can enjoy the original classic.
