Gameplay

There is an Exhibition mode that can support two players and the Season mode. It is possible to choose between six bikes, and six different engineers whose skills match the player's racing style. While there are a variety of bikes with slightly different engines, suspensions and frames, there is no real difference between the engineers, but they will still influence the improvement or deterioration of the bike performance.

To be a successful racer, the player must invest in the best equipment and fine-tune their bike so that it runs at an optimal level. To do this, the player will have to race against 15 opponents on 13 tracks (following the same order of the real-life 1992 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season) in order to win money. The game features real tracks from all over the world. However, even though the display on the menu is correct for the tracks, some turns are wrong or non-existent during the actual gameplay.

Reception

GamePro gave the game a rating of 4 out of 5. German video gaming magazine Total! gave the game a rating of 3.25 out of 6.
