A totally amazing sequel to Micromega's good-at-the-time bike race, Deathchase. Here author Mervyn Estcourt takes us out of the woods and onto the road, Pole Position-style, for a selection of bike-meets from San Marino to Silverstone. With a field of 40 other competitors on hand the competition has never been fiercer. Initially, the graphics might seem a little bland, but the animation of the bikes and perspective FX are quite brilliant. Just lean that sucker over and see for yourself! Being no stranger to the world of two wheels I can vouch for the authenticity of the movement.

There's a couple of nice extras for hesitant rebels, like a learners' practice mode (vital if you wanna make an impression on the rest of the field) and a variety of tough 'n easy tarmacs to test. We were also due to have gear changes but Micromega thought that unworkable. A lucky escape, methinks. It's also accident-free! Collisions merely result in a harmless (but annoying) speed penalty. Safety first, eh? Be advised, though, that a taut 'stick is needed for prolonged rides. The keyboard layout is quite unmanageable.
