We don"t tend to bother with motorcycle racing games here on TG for two very good reasons. Firstly, bike games have all been a bit rubbish recently and we don"t like to waste your precious time. Secondly, motorcycles have two too few wheels, so we are deeply suspicious of them. Alright, just the one good reason then. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is impossible to ignore, though. That"s because it recreates the legendary Snaefell Mountain Course in all its sinuous, 37 mile glory and in exceptional detail. Make no mistake, this single circuit, which takes just under 20 minutes to lap on a racing bike, is absolutely the reason to buy this game. After years of scything around glass-smooth circuits in MotoGP games, it"s the undulations that are the biggest surprise. The bikes feel positively alive as they skip across the road surface and you"ll have to concentrate on managing your suspension loads as you launch over a crest, lest you and your bike decide on different trajectories. This is a game where your motorcycle will regularly take to the air at triple-digit speeds and it"s your job to make sure the place it"s going to land is back on the tarmac and not in somebody"s front garden.
