SBK 08 Is Coming to North American 360s!

By | August 6, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

Already a top-selling game in Europe, SBK: Superbike World Championship is coming to our 360′s here across the pond. Due out in October, this game aims to gives us North Americans a taste of two-wheeled fun that mostly happens in Europe. This is the fully licensed game of the HANNspree Superbike World Championship, meaning that we’ll get access to all of the teams, riders and tracks that race in real life.  This game was originally developed by Black Bean for the European Market but is now being published by Conspiracy Entertainment.  Since Europe is where motorsports originated, it only seemed fair to release it there earlier, on July 29th, 2008 precisely; however oddly enough, this game was released in Australia even before that: on June 26th, 2008.  Conspiracy Entertainment claims is intended for “motorsports simulation veterans, hardcore gamers and arcade-racing fans.” This announcement is like a direct answer to my question on Twitter about a week ago.

Along with the announcement we were also sent some screenshots that show how realistic this game looks.

    Wow that looks so realistic. If it came out early in Australia does that mean it's out in New Zealand too?

    If this thing is as hard as MotoGP, I'll probably never beat it! lol

    Probably…as far as I know, in terms of gaming releases Australia and NZ are considered the same "territory"… Similar to how the US and Canada are…for MOST releases…some we too get after the US…

    If I'm to judge by the achievements… then it isn't that hard. http://www.achieve360points.com/game/superbikewc0…And there arer some pretty awesome ones too… :D See: "SBK ™ makes me dizzy." and "The wrong way to victory."

    What I didn't like about MotoGP 07 from 06 is that the achievements were the same…meaning equally as hard…

    Umm…Can you tell I'm really excited for this game? :P

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/knight0fkh29471 knight0fkh29471

    Yeah, that's probably why I never picked up MotoGP '07, lol….because I never got done with '06 :P

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/djdatz djdatz

    Exactly the same here. Although, from the Moto GP 07 demo, I liked it more than 06…but it just didn't warrant another purchase.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/knight0fkh29471 knight0fkh29471

    Yeah, I may end up getting it when it drops in price a bit. But really, I have no need to get another one if I can't complete the 06, lol.

    Might end up getting SBK 08 or Moto GP 07?
