Smoke and fog effects look great, as well as the lens flare effects as you drive towards the sun. During dusk race times, headlights shine out from the front of your bike. Sound effects are very well done, and the music is excellent. Redline Racer challenges you to test your skill on a number of different tracks and bikes. You choose your team colors, sex, transmission and difficulty level for your race.
Available bikes have different settings for top speed, handling, braking, etc.
You cannot configure your own bike, but you can select the one balanced best for your personal driving style or road conditions on a particular track - high top speed for dry pavement, better handling for the more winding tracks. One feature that does not exist is the ability to select or choose the number of your opponents when competing. You're locked into whatever the game decides. The game's tracks are laid out across a number of terrain types, under different weather conditions. Multiple camera angles allow you to race using the one most comfortable to you, including a bumper-cam that is fun to watch but difficult to control.
