This is a very good game if you like racing games. The legends bikes and riders are awesome. Try taking the 750 cc Kawasaki vs the others and it's a true challenge. Overall there are a few things that could be done better such as the rumble feedback could be much better and please let us save replays in the next game!! Try the 3rd on-board view for a challenge.

SBK X for Xbox 360I originally gave SBK X a 5 star rating in June 2011, but I have to revise my review after giving MotoGP 08, MotoGP 09/10 and SBK X a fair shake down over a course of nearly a year of gameplay.
SBK X's graphics are on-par with MotoGP 08. The tracks have very basic weather/environment effects and very basic textures. Forza 3 looks a lot crisper in a High-Def kind of way, while MotoGP 09/10 is similar to Shift 2 Unleashed.
The sound of the engines in SBK X is more true to life than MotoGP 08 and 09/10, and you can hear a difference between the Ducati L-Twin and the inline-4 engines of BMW, Honda, and Kawasaki. In MotoGP, all of the motorcycles essentially sounded the same.
In SBK X, the motorcycles handle weird, almost the same way as MotoGP 08. I see a lot of reviewers claim that MotoGP 08 and SBK X are more realistic in how they portray the handling and physics of motorcycles. At first, I felt the same way. But after putting nearly a solid 12 months playing MotoGP 09/10, I have to do a 180 turn and say that MotoGP 09/10 has a more realistic physics engine. Sure, in SBK X and MotoGP 08 it is easier to get the rear end of the motorcycle sliding and swinging when power is applied, but the motorcycles in MotoGP 09/10 lean faster and is more responsive to the controller inputs.
There are multiple play modes, which offers excellent replay potential. Different levels of customization for the simulation mode allows new players to immerse themselves very quickly. It took me quite awhile to get used to MotoGP, although to be honest riding a motorcycle takes some time as well even after taking the MSF BRC.
Tuning the bike is an easy experience. You can opt to take recommended qualifying or race settings by talking to your chief engineer, or you can go ahead and start tweaking away. Suspension adjustments are similar to that of real world adjustments, by the number of clicks, etc... This is a far more intuitive approach than MotoGP's bland settings.
The achievements in SBK X aren't very interesting, you get points for talking to the engineer, saving a setting, buying the game, watching the credits, watching the replay, etc... The developers tried to give SBK X a feel similar to DiRT/DiRT 2 with the menu system but I've never been a fan of that.
Overall: 3/5 stars, probably one of the best motorcycle racing games around and there aren't many of them available. What I'd like to see improved: the track textures, environment effects, and motorcycle physics. I gave SBK X a 5 star rating in June 2011, but I dropped it 2 stars because after giving MotoGP 09/10 more shakedown time, I felt SBK X is way behind MotoGP. Of course, if you follow World Superbike and not MotoGP, you may be more biased towards SBK X. I would still recommend SBK X just so you can learn some of the different tracks while virtually riding a motorcycle.
