    Milestone has achieved what many didn't believe: to exceed the previous title in the franchise and moreover focus the game to be approachable by any kind of player (from simulation to arcade) and enhance some lacking aspects of the last game (graphics and tuning options).

    Milestone's love for SBK means 09 is authentic, enthusiastic and entertaining. [Aug 2009, p.68]

    SBK09 is simulation with good handling and all of the popular drivers and tracks from the actual season. An interesting game for racing fans.

    Excellent simulation once again from Milestone and a better game compared with SBK08 (which was already a fantastic game), played in Excellent simulation once again from Milestone and a better game compared with SBK08 (which was already a fantastic game), played in simulation settings you get one of the best simulations on the market today. The graphics are much better now, they are crisp and very detailed, the circuits and the races in general feel more alive this time. The game is hard when played with the helps off (simulation) but it is very customisable and you can make it suit your style of racing. Menus are better this time but still kind of slow and clumsy and save/load times are on the long side. Amazing game never the less.… Full Review »

    Certes, quelques détails ont changé je suppose mais il faudrait les comparer nez à nez pour en avoir le coeur net. Quoi qu'il en soit, ce SBK n'en reste pas moins (si seulement ils avaient -au moins- changé les menus si peu pratiques !..) il n'en reste pas moins disais-je une valeur on-ne-peut-plus sûre dans le domaine de la simulation de bécanes vavavoum.

    Surtout en Superbike, des engins plus proches de la série et sensiblement plus lourds qu'en Moto GP et là encore Milestone brille par sa capacité à nous restituer l'inertie et les réactions de ces grosses bécanes si généreuses donneuses d'organes.

    Difficile à maîtriser, la simulation sait aussi se laisser apprivoiser via les multiples degrés d'assistance et se laisse toujours apprécier pour sa maniabilité sans faille.

    Graphiquement très correct et sans ralentissement majeur à signaler, bruitages de bon aloi, SBK 09 (ou 08.1 !) est un produit un poil paresseux mais très solide.    … Full Review »
