What's the sense?

Yep, me too. That straight, then the left hand sweeper into the right hand hairpin, makes for a wild braking experience. The bike gets very squirrelly there if you brake in that slight left curve.

This game is awesome.

The old lady isn't going to be very happy with me when I get home this evening.

So does the half mile after that. That hard left into the tunnel is what usually trips up most folks.

Can't wait to get home now!

Is it really that much better than Moto GP? How much has everyone been paying for their copy and where from?

Hammer · 04-06-2006, 9:07 PM

Got finished playing a minute ago, It is definately better that Moto GP.

Hard as hell but realistic handling.

You can do a stoppie.

Retail is $39.99 or that is what everyone is selling it for. Got mine at target.

10% done!!

Silent_Assassin · 04-06-2006, 11:24 PM

I've been playing TT for 2 days now and absolutely love it. Finally someone got a motorcycle game right!

phobiaphobe · 04-06-2006, 11:45 PM

Cool game. I like how you can tweak the riding style. I was trying to win the GSXR750 and it was so friggin unstable turning on the brakes... took me like 10 tries to win it. Then I watched the replay and realized I was still in motard riding style (from testing out me DRZSM) It looked friggin hilarious.

MetallicCarrot · 04-07-2006, 12:00 AM

Go to http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat86700050003&DCM P=rdr0000244

Enter to win a Ducati 999R, from Best Buy / Ducati for their Tourist Trophy Sweepstakes.

I'm in!

I HATE YOU GUYS. I just bought a ps2 and this game. DAMNIT CRAP DAMNIT.

So yeah. already have some beautiful bikes. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. great game though, love the rider position options. has anyone found an easy way to get the bikes up on 1 for the photomode?

MetallicCarrot · 04-07-2006, 12:31 AM

Haven't tried it, but I suppose you set the controls to "Pro Mode", then pull back on the LEFT analog stick (the one you normally use for turning) and it should happen on a powerfull bike.

Using the left analog in Pro Mode allows you to tuck, sit up, etc. Try it and let me know...

Otherwise, I'll check it this weekend.

Welcome to the dark side, my friend.

See you suckers in a couple of days.

You'll have to be conscious of that when you go to Grattan. Don't forget to change your riding style from "simulated" to "real".

WetShrub · 04-07-2006, 10:59 AM

Anyone else find that the engine noises aren't super accurate? The 2-smokers sound a little whinier but not nearly true to life. The V-twins don't sound super bassy either. I think that might be my only complaint of the game.

I made the whole motard riding style on a race spec GSXR1000 mistake also. It's hilarious! Worth doing just to see the playback! It makes you almost embarassed for the guy.

I think the hand positions on the bikes are cool, when it shows you using the clutch and blipping the throttle! I really like the head shake too when you go over a hill crest hard on the gas. Also, they run the same Infineon Raceway configuration that the AFM uses. I was on a CB750F and got within 2 seconds of my actual race time. I'm sure I will easily surpass that soon but it was still fun to compare. They don't use the AMA turn 1 for Infineon.

So far I have all the licenses but only a couple bikes. My thumb hurts!

Looks like there are 92 bikes available in the "challenge" mode so I guess you get the rest of them by winning races?

Actually I was thinking about that. In the game if you're running wide you can tighten your line by jamming the rear brake.... Don't think I'll be doing too much of that in real life.

Oh why not? The front tire is handling most of the load; what could happen if you stomp on the rear brake in the middle of a turn?

*Mo Noyz* · 04-07-2006, 3:52 PM

Don't encourage him.

*Mo Noyz* · 04-07-2006, 3:54 PM

Only got to spend a little over an hour with the game last night.

It's GT4 with bikes instead of cars.

Me likey.

schnogg · 04-07-2006, 3:56 PM

YEAH WTF! Now I have to buy a PS2 and this damn game. I always knew I'd get sucked into buying one of these things sooner or later.
Oh well... there goes my life to an addicting video game

mojo1094 · 04-07-2006, 4:03 PM

Yesh, for wheelies and stoppies, switch to pro mode. also, for drifting around corners, switch to pro mode. damn, whole new riding experience.

hehe. I set the gear ratio to like 2.3xx so my top end in the 954 would be like 200+ mph, and hit nurimburg. well, i only needed first and second gear for most of the course, except for the straightaway. the headshake when i hit that crest tossed the rider like half the course! hilarious.

Also, yeah, 93 bikes in challenge mode, but you win a bike after every gold race. SEW, i just started winning races. i have like, 2 MV Agusta F4's now, and that's also how you get the 02 954rr, plus some other old bikes that are pretty slick.

play around with that gearing though. I was able to stomp a 1000rr with my 600rr.

And yes, i did the motard thing too. does look funny. hehe.
