Default PS2 Ideas for an Oppressive Winter?

Question's open to anyone, but for those with tough winters, you'll know what I'm talking about. I'll ride when it's 5 degress out, but cold, wet roads and/or ice tend to keep the bike in the garage. I get restless. So, even though I don't play the Playstation as much these days, will anyone recommend some good biking game options for me? I figure if I have to be stuck inside, I might as well get some two-wheeled enjoyment out of it.

What's good for realism? What are ones to avoid?

T.I.A.

Same goes for me man. I too have a PS2, but I rarely play it.

I was planning on riding my bike much deeper into the winter, but Cleveland seems to get snow every other day and the roads are never really clear enough to make a ride worthwhile.

Any worthy bike games out there we should look into?

If you're into video games and motorcycles, I couldn't recommend the XBOX version of MotoGP 2 or 3 higher. I own the PS2 version and it seriously sucks.

At 1st, I only owned a PS2 and when I visited a friend, I got to play the Xbox MotoGP2 and thought it was great. So I went and bought MotoGP3 for PS2 and I was sooo disappointed. So I went and bought Xbox. And I never even thought of buying an Xbox until about maybe 6 months ago when I played MotoGP at my bud's house.

Maybe we can create the official H-T game then. MarmaladeBoy can be the cover model, MSchu and Luke can be the seasoned veterans who give advice, the stunters on here can be the authority-rebelling outlaws, and the rest of us can be generic opponents

Winter might be over by the time it comes out, but the makers of the Gran Turismo series have a game coming out in early 06. It's called Tourist Trophy.

There are not many good motorcycle games on the PS2. Socom 3 kicks *** though.

i'm gonna agree. I played motogp something or other for xbox, and called hollywood video to reserve my copy of it. I went down, turns out it was a PS2 copy, but i didn't even realize that till i got home. I put it in my friend's PS2 and my god does it suck. I had to switch the controls so that the right thumbstick was throttle and brake and the left was steering, that was the only way i could keep from blowing the rear tire out in corners.

I rented Motogp3 for xbox and it was wayyyy more playable and fun.

Cover model? You don't want to sell any of them, huh?

Sure. H-T needs more enterprises, I think. We should take this m-f'er to the next level.

faclongsr dragging knee on a ninja 250 is the only acceptable choice for the cover.

And of course the front and back of the case should be plastered with msf logos to coincide with msf dick riders in this forum

Snowboarding. It's the one thing I love more than bikes.

best motorcycle game on ps2 by far. i almost like it more than motogp3 on xbox because it feels so much more realistic, though the graphics are crap. you have tons of incredible bikes at your disposal, a good amount of tuning/adjusting, real TT racers, etc. if you're at all into the isle of man stuff, it's a must have. oh, and did i mention there's sidecars in there?
