ThereвЂ™s a decentВ amount of content with longevity to it, and all at the low price of ВЈ11.Driveclub Bikes is available to download on the PS4 right now. Like DriveClubвЂ™s cars, bikes is an arcade experience with a little more depth than most titles in the genre, and given the transformation from launch of the online service, this is definitely not something you should ignore if youвЂ™re feeling the need for speed.

Not to mention absolutely terrifying in heavy rain at night.ДЄllВ of the standard features from the main game apply to DriveClub Bikes, and there are evenВ a couple of new ones that have been added in the latest patch, withВ placeholders setupВ for the bikes DLC too (we can expect the first one towards the end of November which will apparently be free). Combining the elements, the noise and the speed really builds an atmosphere that makes you feel euphoric when it all goes your way, and that itвЂ™s purely your fault when it goes wrong. Evolution havenвЂ™t been stingy with the weather effects in this tour either, with most events having some form of rain to obscure your vision or make the bike slide out from underneath you. A Ducati snarls and grumbles as you manhandle it around tight, twisty sections, whilst theВ Ninja screams when it hits the top end of its revs and both will try and throw you off backwards if you donвЂ™t compensate for the torque off the start line. Whilst each might not be drastically different visually, especially if youвЂ™ve applied your club paint job, the performance and the sound are. Starting at the back of the grid and never catching up doesnвЂ™t force you to quit and go to something else, the short tracks promote a quick restart along with learning the braking and accelerating zones so you can beat your opponents.ДЄdding a total of 12 vehicles into the roster, DriveClub Bikes has focussed only on superbikes, and predominantly from Japan and Italy. I found them to be just the right balance between frustrating and simple. YouвЂ™ll get friendlyВ that competition too, mainly because they are just as good as you, especially in the early stages, and theyвЂ™re not afraid of a bit of jostling either. There are a couple of corners that donвЂ™t seem to fit with their severity indicators вЂ“ a green that feels like a red, or a yellow that you can take flat out, but the layouts work for you and your AI competitors very well. Considering they were all designed for super and hyper cars, bikes adapt nicely to them. Once the physics of having half the number of wheels youвЂ™re used to is under control, and youвЂ™ve mastered the art of not hitting the barriers at speed, the beauty of the tracks comes into play. The game handles bailing by blanking to a white screen and resetting you to track which means you donвЂ™t lose much time, and that DriveClub keeps its PEGI 3 rating.

Racing on 2В wheels is a very different prospect from charging around on 4 вЂ“ acceleration is faster, braking sharper, but cornering a lot slower, and of course itвЂ™s very messy when you hit a wall. I donвЂ™t ride a bike in real life or have a lot of experience with this type of vehicle outside Trials Fusion, which becameВ apparent inВ the first race when I reached a tight-ishВ corner, failed to brake and turn properly, crashed out and then spent the rest of the time languishing at the back of the pack. What DriveClub Bikes has to deliver though is a great racing experience. This is after all, an expansion of vehicles rather than adding vastly different things to do. Multiplayer and Single Event modes offer the same setup as the cars counterpart, which youвЂ™d expect. Each block of events leads to a championship challenge in a specific country to round off the section and unlock new and faster rides. Races and Time Trials are the same as before, and the drifting events and been changed to suit a motorbikeвЂ™s unique capabilities вЂ“ wheelies, stoppies and going stupidly fast. Focussing on Tour mode, challenges are set for each event that earn you stars and unlock more to do.

Structurally the game is the same as weвЂ™re used to with the cars, pick from Tour, Single Event or Multiplayer and select what you want to do. Is it worth donning your leathers and polishing your helmet for, or will it just give you road rash? Once the season pass was up we were all fairly sure thereвЂ™d be something to fill the void of the monthly releases, yet werenвЂ™t really expecting what was announced and released in the span of a couple of days: DriveClub Bikes. DriveClub surprised after its very rocky start by being a deceptively deep and entertaining racing game, which Evolution Studios then followed up with over 6 months of decent length DLC in the form of tracks, cars and new championships.
