![]() ![]() Thankfully, you get back on the seat of your motorcycle much quicker in the US version than you did when the game was called Redline Racer. Considering the difficulty controlling your bike in the hairpins, it is unreasonable that the tracks cause you to fly off your cycle so often. ![]() Your motorcycle will drive up the side of a mountain before spilling you far off in the distance (Road Rash style). If you don't subscribe to this method, good luck navigating the track - and the curb. While the game doesn't feel nearly as twitchy as most motorcycle racing games, the analog control is almost too unresponsive to be of any use on some tracks - the analog action might feel great on some of the wide-open tracks but feels too sluggish for the more serpentine courses, unless, of course, you're willing to crawl around the tracks with the brakes on half the time. However, the ambitious layout of some tracks may prove too much for less-accomplished gamers. The tracks themselves vary from cavernous valleys (remarkably similar to Manx TT's opening track) to desert settings and snow-covered courses. It's similar to Sega Rally in that you slowly access additional tracks by beating sets of races, three at a time, with the goal of having the most points by the end of the third race. The game structure will be familiar to anyone who has played Sega Rally. Instead of picking a nondescript racer and slapping him on a nondescript motorcycle, now you can take control of a few of the most dominant motorcycles to hit Laguna Seca over the last few years: the Suzuki GSX-R750 and the GSX-R600. This should come as great news for those who didn't quite dig Redline Racing so much, due to its "extreme" blandness. The game was originally released in Japan as Redline Racer, but Criterion (makers of Acclaim's Trickstyle) and Ubi Soft, have given the game a graphic upgrade and have added an official Suzuki license. If you dig all the racing games already released for the Dreamcast, but you really jones for a two-wheeled rice-rocket racer, then fortunately for you, Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing has hit the pavement and is ready for some serious knee-draggin'. ![]()
