Thought I'd update my review after a further few hours of game-play. First of all, on my ageing rig (i5-2500k & GTX970) I can play this at 1440p maxed out at 60fps and I think the graphics look fine. Nothing groundbreaking but I wasn't expecting it to be.

The game-play is smooth but as a novice, I don't see a great deal of benefit in shifting weight over leaving it as it is when going over some of the jumps. The starts are somewhat random where despite qualifying first I either get the holeshot or the AI have super starts and I'm 15th. I am playing on Realistic in third person mode with semi-pro bike difficulties.
The sound is OK with the expected hard rock soundtrack and the bikes themselves seem fine, at least in line with watching the sport itself. There is a lack of crowd and crowd noises are sparse.
Overall I still give the game an 8, but I can see myself possibly getting bored of this within a few weeks.… Expand
