Why you can trust GamesRadar+
Originally a PlayStation game, the Moto Racer series has been revived on DS with Stylus Precision Handling%26trade;. We%26rsquo;re naturally wary of trademarked gimmicks but %26lsquo;SPH%26rsquo; is actually very good, giving you a much greater degree of control over your bike than the twitchy buttons. This is a real all-rounder, with GP races, traffic challenges, and Super Cross and Freestyle modes on bump-tastic indoor courses. There%26rsquo;s also a good tally of bikes and courses to unlock, with three difficulty settings and multiplayer options for up to eight people.
Despite the mostly decent graphics there are a few moments when collisions end up with you inside a car rather than plastered across its bonnet. And the invisible walls on the indoor tracks remove the need for any steering skills. It%26rsquo;s also pretty tricky, so Sunday riders should be prepared for multiple retries. All that aside, this is some solid two-wheeled action.
