Multiplayer games can take place via a split screen, LAN or Internet connections. New to the game is the Training option. Essentially this gives the player and empty to track to practice on. In this mode pausing the game places a circuit map on the screen, clicking on a particular corner will demonstrate the correct way to take it and commentary is provided by BBC commentator Leigh Diffey. Racing bikes is unfamiliar to most people and so the game sets out to teach the principles of the sport and aid the player in various stages.
Complete newbies can opt for braking and acceleration help.
The computer will also handle rider movement. One of the best aspects of the game is the small onscreen icons that aid the player while on the track. A small wheel symbol shows that the bike is currently experiencing wheelspin, a raised hand shows that the player is should apply the brakes. Even with all the rider aids switched off these symbols are helpful when learning a track. An even more detailed speed display can be called up at the bottom of the screen.
