The game is generally well-optimized, allowing it to run smoothly on lower-end PCs, with high-quality textures and good motion blur. However, some users noted occasional stuttering and expressed disappointment with the physics not reflecting the performance of production bikes. Additionally, there are suggestions for enhancing the experience with more detailed commentary on rider performance.
“The textures and bike models are flawless, the sky and track details are good, the motion blur is good and not annoying. The game is also well optimized, so you will be able to run it on lower-end PCs.”
“Milestone couldn't be bothered to change the physics to feel like production bikes with performance parts.”
“This seems to be the main issue I am having, apart from the occasional stuttering.”
“Why not add announcers to detail your riders' performance and career, comparing them to other riders in the lineup, such as who is faster in which sectors and better on which tire?”
