    Polished online interface + incredible sense of speed (i.e. bikes out of hell!) + perfect arcade handling (wheelies anyone?) + plethora of modes to tinker with + no "GT3: A-Spec"-type customization or realistic physics = the best PS2 arcade racing ever made.

    Online racing thrills like you’ve never seen before. Combine this with a race editor that allows you to reconfigure checkpoints for your own customized races, and what we have here is a game with replay value that flies over a ramp and off the charts.
  3. IGN

    An excellent online game that offers an ostensibly limitless amount of replay value, given the range of courses and numerous race alterations and variations.

    It strays from greatness thanks to completely frustrating AI that ends up cheating so badly, it’s not even worth playing.

    It's exaggerated in its look and feel, but the balance between physical realism and fantasy-tuned fun is so engaging that you begin to forget that a racing game could be fashioned any other way. [May 2003, p.68]

    The difficulty level is pretty high, but it's not so much annoying as it is challenging.
  7. GameNow

    One thing about the game will really piss you off, though, and that's the difficulty. In plain English, the A.I. is freaking brutal, and if you make one mistake in most courses, you may as well restart the race. [June 2003, p.52]

I remember getting it and playing it for like 10 Hours straight. It starts easy but can get really difficult to finish. It has a great soundtrack, fairly good graphics for the time and the cars feel really good. Not particular realistic but fun!
