Critic Reviews

80 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
It may be for hardcore fans and sadists only, but this is still a rewarding race. [GamesMaster]
80 Cheat Code Central
While I can honestly say that I'm not a big racing fan, Suzuki TT Superbikes was able to appeal to the competitor in me by providing a very accessible game for novices with enough depth to keep veterans challenged for many, many races.
79 Pelit (Finland)
Technically almost flawless, but extremely difficult to master. It is too hard for casual gamers, but fans are gonna love it. [Aug. 05]
75 PSM Magazine
Graphics are average, and the physics are impressive, though load times are excruciatingly long. [Dec 2005, p.108]
69 GameSpot
Though patient motorcycle-simulation fans will see past Suzuki TT Superbikes' quirks and appreciate its authenticity, many will shy away from the game's single-track format, twitchy handling, and claustrophobic environment.
61 IGN
If you're a fan who desperately wants to see the race from a first-person perspective this will scratch that itch, but there are many other titles such as the upcoming MotoGP 4 that explore the territory much further.
60 AceGamez
If you are a complete bike racing fanatic I've got no doubt in my mind that the sheer excitement of racing around the track will be reason enough to warrant the price tag of TT Superbikes. For everybody else, this just isn't good enough to keep you interested.
