Even then, it was all too easy to over steer in one direction, and then completely over adjust in the opposite direction. I'm not a big racing game fan (except for Mario Kart DS), but thought I'd give this one a shot(especially for only $[.].). Maybe I just wasn't meant to ride a motorcycle. No way I was going to actually WIN a race to advance through any storyline. I couldn't believe how sensitive the left/right turning controls were for the bike. I finally figured out that you really had to use the control pad one tap at a time to gradually adjust direction.
I've played this game nearly every day since I got it and enjoy it thoroughly each time. There are three tracks to master within each location and several different race variations so there's enough here to keep you interested. I think this game really takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS platform. It's a lot of fun and the learning curve is just right in that it takes practice but you do get better with each race.
Even better, once you get into the higher levels and begin using jumps or upgrading equipment, the pace picks up and it becomes challenging. I ride and know motorcycles and Ducatis, and had a lot of fun sliding the Hypermotard and 1098's. Ducati Moto was not highly technical but a great game and suited me fine - especially for this price. This game is so fun. I'm not a big racing gamer but these controls were easy enough for me to pick up.
Very easy to just pick up and enjoy. It's a little on the easy side, but it's still very enjoyable. I was pleased with this game, overall. The championship mode is nice and thorough without being ridiculously complicated. Good solid, harmless fun for all. The controls are quite simple, just basically gas, brake, and steer with a skid option thrown in. The controls are clean and don't feel sluggish or sloppy.
