Jour object is to drive a stage of the cource in a certian time. You got obsticles on the side of the road that you can drive in to. The feeling of the motorcycle isn't "real" i.e. it douesnt behave exactly as an real motorcycle. It is quite fun, but i got bored after playing it 6-8 times. In RVF honde you enter a road racing series. You start in a low serie and works your way up.The behavior of the motorcycle is close to the real thing. A computer magazine here in Sweden had two guys who compete in roadracing test it and they thought that it was almost as the real thing. And they recognized the courses from when they had competed there. This one is i.m.h.o far superior to Hang on. This is a game that i still put into my diskslot from time to time.
