WELCOME TO SBK SUPERBIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Live the atmosphere of the Superbike World Championship on your console! In SBK all aspects of the world championships are faithfully recreated in every phase of the game. The menu graphics, television style filming, and carefully recreated backgrounds like the pits, starting grid, and amazing "umbrella girls" all contribute to a realistic game experience.
SBK draws you into the fantastic world of Superbikes. From the reality of physics (which is like riding a real Superbike) to the lifelike behavior of your opponents on the track, the game simulates all aspects of this world. It's a chance to tackle all the actual curves of the official tracks with all the riders and teams from the 2008 season.
As well as the classic "Championship" mode, SBK includes "Instant Action", "Quick Race", "Challenges" and "Race Weekend", all of which push the game experience to the limit.

Tutorial
Tutorial
The SBK Tutorial aims to teach you the "basic" game controls. The first time you attempt to enter a race session (Instant Action, Quick Race, Weekend, Championship, Challenges) the game will ask you if you want to start with the Tutorial first.
By selecting "YES", you will be taken to the Tutorial screen. If you select "NO", the game will start normally.
Instant Action
This mode allows you to enter a race without all the formalities: track, team, rider and atmospheric conditions are all decided for you.
Quick Race
Quick Race mode has been designed to let you take part in races quickly and easily. You can customise your race by choosing track, bike, rider, number of laps, position in the starting grid and weather conditions.
Time Attack
Time Attack is the game mode that lets you race against yourself on any of the tracks. It's a great way to constantly improve your lap time as you can race against a Ghost Rider, who will be riding your fastest lap time.
Race Weekend
This mode gives you a whole weekend of racing, made up of:
•
Free practice 1 - Lasting 60 minutes, at the end of which the checkered flag appears when you will be given the chance to complete the current lap.
•
Qualifying practice 1 - Lasting 60 minutes.
•
Qualifying practice 2 - It can only be entered after having completed at least one lap in the first qualifying session; it's almost identical to the first session but there is an improved reference lap (generated by the previous session).
•
Free practice 2
•
Superpole - There are only two laps available, the Warm Up lap and the Timed lap.
•
Warm Up - For heating up the tires.
•
Race - after the Warm Up lap the riders line up again on the grid, ready to start Race 1. At the end of Race 1 you move up to the second level and then, after a new Warm Up lap, you will find yourself lining up on the grid again.
Championship
In Championship mode you can experience the excitement of an entire championship. Like in Weekend, you challenge the 21 opponents during Free Practices, Timed Sessions, Superpole and obviously, actual Races. All this on any one of the real-life Superbike Championship tracks.
Challenges
This mode is made up of a series of challenges that test your riding capabilities in specific situations and the aim is not merely to finish first. By overcoming each challenge, you move up to the next one, which gets progressively more complex.
Multiplayer
Once you have connected to Xbox LIVE you will be able to race against friends throughout the world in ranked or open matches.
•
Ranked Contests - The Ranked Contests mode enables the player to accumulate points and break records to be listed on the online leaderboard. A global leaderboard allows players to establish who is the king of the world!
•
Free Ride - The Free Ride is an online game session that does not influence the leaderboard.
Both of these modes give you the opportunity to take part in "Quick Races" and "Customized Races". The first ones allow you to race in any online race that is open, the second ones let you apply search filters in order to find a game with specific conditions. It is also possible to create your own customized race, specifying all your preferred aspects and options.
