  1. SBK '07 is a good mix of simulation and arcade-style racing, and it's a welcome change of pace from the Moto GP series of racing games.
  2. Overall Can't ride a bike? This is the next best thing. Can ride a bike? Guess what, it still is.
  3. SBK '07 succeeds at being accessible to casual Superbike fans while also catering for the hardcore market.

    It's good to see someone taking bike racing seriously, but make sure you can do without stabilisers - this is no easy ride. [May 2007, p.84]
  5. The presentation is flawed and even though SBK 07 looks rough in parts, we can't recall actually enjoying a bike game on PlayStation 2 this much since, well, since PlayStation 2 began.
  6. The mix of modes, coupled with the strong simulation settings, create a challenging yet rewarding experience that fans of the sport will enjoy over the summer months.

    A technically tight simulator, but lacks the spark needed to offer broad appeal. [June 2007, p.83]

    The lack of content lets down an otherwise competent racer.

    SBK ends up being a far more accessible and ultimately more enjoyable experience -- even if that experience isn't terribly compelling at the end of the day.

    The experience certainly isn’t awful, but nor is it in any way exceptional – and up against the accomplished competition, that simply won’t be good enough. [June 2007, p.93]

    Fine for fans, but no-one else should touch it with a greasy finger. [July 2007, p.114]

    I think I rate most PS2 games from 8 down because I got to know the PS2 in 2011 when PS2 was no longer in demand. This SBK sucks! It'sI think I rate most PS2 games from 8 down because I got to know the PS2 in 2011 when PS2 was no longer in demand. This SBK sucks! It's practically moto GP 8 with horrible engine audio. It's only worth 5 because the multiplayer still lets you pass the time Full Review »
