"As a chef and radio food show host, I have tried many different foods. The great thing about the Wild Alaska Smoked Salmon I tried was how moist and flavorful it was without having that excess smokey flavor. Nice steak-like salmon consistency with so little effort. I would recommend to anyone who likes fish to try these products" -Chef Bob Older Click here to check out our customer feedback! Your Satisfaction

Gran Turismo 4 on 2 WheelsApr 12, 2010
Tourist Trophy is almost an exact copy of Gran Turismo 4 with the exception of a few different tracks and a few extra menu options and rider gear/apparel. And of course you are on 2 wheels instead of 4. They physics are kind of weird but as anyone can imagine, it is tough to nail all the nuances of motorcycle racing on a game console. 2-player racing is fun. 4 of 5 stars, rent it first just to be sure it's your style of game.

Graphic are beyond believe, the motorcycles handle as close to real life as I have ever seen. The changes that you do ie. engine mods,supension mods and tire selection relate to the handling. This is real fun and a learning experiance, the best and most relistic game out there, not for the faint of heart and a challenge.
The enthusiasts choice.Sep 24, 2008
At the recommendation of the excellent British motorcycle publication Bike, I picked up a copy of this game. Which also required the acquisition of a playstation 2. One $50 ebay auction later, and I was playing. Let me preface this review by saying that I haven't had a video game system since the original Nintendo when I was a kid. Man, have video games come a long way since Super Mario Brothers!
All I can say about Tourist Trophy is that it is spectacular! This game was developed by the same folks who put out the Gran Turismo series, and the considerable amount of time they've clearly spent developing this game really shows through.
First, the game is unlike Moto racing games of the past. This game includes dozens of real street bikes - from the most current race replicas, to historically significant models from the past. The bikes are reproduced in intricate detail, they look EXACTLY like the real street bikes. Whatever your favorite sportbike, it's in here. Hayabusas, Gixxer 6,750,1000's, CBR's, Ninja's, Ducati's, MV Agusta's, there's even BMW's for those weird BMW people. There's also equipment, Dainese racing suits, Arai helmets, Sidi boots!
They've got well known international tracks, Suzuka, Laguna Seca, Indianapolis, etc., tons of races, skills practicing, instant replays (so cool), and you can even print out a picture!
The controls take a little getting used to, but I've only put in about 4 hours on the game, and I've already won all the 600 bikes from the big 4, and the Gix 750. If you ride, you'll pick up the feedback and handling properties very quickly - they're about as accurate as you're likely to find on a motorcycle simulator anywhere.
All non-riders should be aware that this game has been designed for maximum reality and the bikes in it will behave as they would on the street or track, not as might be expected from a video game. If you blow your line, and come in to a turn with too much speed, you'll end up in the grass - just like in real life.
This game is perfect for the sportbike fanatic. Even non video game playing bikers will love it. Perfect for the colder months of the off season, and for those who are on a first name basis with the traffic court clerk.

A few nitpicks of course but a GREAT game overall !!!!Sep 06, 2008
Like a lot of people, I first heard that this game had a steep learning curve that led to many a crash until you got the hang of it and for the first day or two I was kinda frustrated with it until I "unlearned" some bad habits from other racing games. With most of the MotoGP games (which I did really like) you can just hustle in a corner on full throttle, bang the bike down on it's side with both brakes at full lock and out brake everybody. While it's fun and all try that on a real bike and prepare to eat gravel. TT requires you to actually think about corner entry speed and lean angle in addition to the track layout, much like a real bike. I love this game!! Even though it's a couple of years old now I still pop it in to get my virtual racing fix :)
Good:
- Bike details are great (look, sounds, feel, etc.)
- Good replay value in Arcade or TT modes
- Forces you to think and not just mash buttons
Bad:
- Could be more/better choices of bikes. This is really hard to claim as a fault because you could ask 100 people what bikes "should" be in the game and get 100 totally diferent lists. The choices they do have are good and varied but like anyone else there are some I wish were there.
- Some physics are kinda curious such as this: When braking to a corner if you shift ANY weight forward prepare to be launched over the handlebars in a wicked endo. Loading the front with a weight shift is one of the keys to good stopping power and it sucks to be penalized for trying to utilize it. Also, you should never be able to give a 100+ hp bike full throttle at max lean and just glide away. Those must be the stickiest tires ever made!....lol. These are minor gripes from someone that actually rides but they don't take any fun away from the game in my opinion.
Overall this game is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone. It's not a arcade game that will let you get away with murder but it's not so tedious that it takes the fun away. I was hoping that there would be a TT2 but it seems not to be at the latest Grand Tourismo game is supposed to have bikes. That really blows since I was hoping for a full sequel but we'll see.
nice bike simulatorAug 08, 2008
I'm a big fan of gran turismo so i expected great stuff from this game. And i did the controls were realistic, the tracks look real, and there were many bikes to choose from.
