A decent racing game, but its high difficulty level will prove too frustrating for many.

Don’t get us wrong, we did have some fun but you’re going to need a lot of time, patience and a healthy penchant for summer colours if you really want to be a winner here.

Only for the most hard-core of cycling enthusiasts; it’s got some major problems and looks atrocious. However underneath it all is a solid game.

Not to be recommended as an accurate depiction of the sport; it's too shallow and one-dimensional for that. But it does deserve praise for delivering a well implemented dynamic and a fun, although ultimately short lived spot of gaming.

Tour de France may be the most gruelling, fascinating, competitive and exciting bike race in the world but sadly this virtual version just doesn’t do it justice with a game lacking in scope and depth.

Steven V. gave it a9:
I come from belgium were cycling is one of the topsports and we're very good at it (e.a. Boonen won in AMERICA the troffee of the worldst best cyclist and he is a belgian)This game is very good if you try to see the concept of it. Off course its on a very low level for the most racing fans but with a little bit of work it can be one of the most racing games. Why always a racing game with motors when the physical, the nature can do his work too ? If I could, and I try it with sending emails to konami, I'll improve te game te make it a little more realistic with the real tactics and concept of the sport Cycling. I understand also there is not so many demand for a game with bycicles but the races are really good (try the race "peak1") Its very difficult and that makes it interesting, all the other games are made of level that anyone can reach the highest level or is it only me that's very good with games ? DONT THINK SO !!! If someone from Koami (or how it calls) reads this, it will be nice to contact me because I have really some good ideas to improve this very good game and there is a marcket for it, trust me !!!! I'm addicted right now to it and it will be like that until I win "Le Tour" which is very difficilt. Reactions and tactics are very welcome and plz, I'll improve this game anb buy or test it, its one of the futures to see games on a different way !!!

Martin W. gave it an 8:
