TT Superbikes Real Road Racing Championship, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling TT Superbikes game, is here!

The new generation of the Sony PlayStation 2 game was officially released on Friday, July 4th 2008.

The new generation is the result of years of development by Jester Interactive Publishing. Once again Duke Marketing, the world-leader in powersport entertainment, has been appointed the sole UK & Ireland distributor by Jester.

Featuring more circuits, more riders, more teams and more machines, this is the ultimate in motorcycle racing games. It faithfully recreates the incredible challenge of road racing - blasting along public roads at up to 200mph with houses, hedges and walls just inches away.

TT Superbikes Real Road Racing Championship takes the original game to a whole new level, offering gamers an even greater experience. Unparalleled bike physics deliver ultra-realistic handling for the ultimate adrenalin-fuelled racing experience. Jester Interactive, based in St. Asaph, Wales, has utilized its proprietary technology to deliver the most thrilling gameplay, truly capturing the excitement of the sport.

TT Superbikes Real Road Racing Championship features seven of the most challenging circuits on Earth. Added to the world-famous Isle of Man TT course and Southern 100 circuit featured in the first game are the North West 200, Ulster Grand Prix, Macau, Oliver's Mount and Aberdare Park.

Players can choose from a list of top riders and teams to race in third and first-person perspective, and can select one of 80 unique championship machines in six different classes to compete on.

Dynamic motorcycle set-up options give complete control, while marshals, flags and changeable weather conditions help keep the experience ultra realistic.

Burnouts, wheelies, stoppies and jumps can be performed throughout the racing, and the behavior of the bikes changes according to tire and bike wear and tear, along with fuel use.

There's also a two-player option and five different game modes:

- Race Now, simply hop on and go head-to-head and have a blast
- Challenge, where the player unlocks circuits, bike classes and models along with other rewards
- Championship, which allows players to race over all circuits on one bike class and score points
- Weekend, where the player races different classes of bikes at one circuit to score points on each
- Race School, which teaches bike control and circuit sections through a series of challenges and set pieces, again unlocking rewards, including the class championship and circuits.
It all adds up to a very exciting proposition.

Eight-times Isle of Man TT winner Ian Lougher said:
`I can't wait for its release. I think the attention to detail on the game is fantastic - the effort that has gone in to ensure the realism of the tracks is astounding. The game offers a real challenge to hard core gamers, whilst also giving race competitors and fans a perfect opportunity to learn the circuits.'

TT Superbikes Real Road Racing Championship was released on July 4th, 2008, on PlayStation 2, priced £24.99RRP. The game will be available from all leading outlets or direct from Duke by calling 01624 640000 or visiting www.dukevideo.com.
