Riding Spirits on the way

Motorcycle sim haunts release charts

PlayStation 2 motorbike racing game Riding Spirits should be arriving in Europe later this month, courtesy of BAM! With two hundred bikes to ride, including as-yet unreleased models from the likes of Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki, it should prove a hit with motorbike nuts if nothing else. Even your riding suits and bike parts are fully licensed, with the credits you earn in tournament races used to customise your vehicle with new engines, mufflers, tyres, mirrors, headlights and other bits and bobs. Reviews from the US (where the game is already available) have been somewhat mixed, but hopefully we'll have a clearer idea of how it shapes up soon. In the meantime, we have four brand new (if rather low resolution) screenshots of the game for you to squint at. Related Feature - Riding Spirits screenshots
