While nothing can ever compare to the thrill of riding a motorcycle, Test Drive Cycles succeeds in its simplicity and genuinely fun gameplay. Using the Test Drive license, well known for in-depth racing games, Cycles is no slouch. With a total of 24 tracks to race on and nine exotic bikes to choose from and customize, there is plenty of game to play through.

From the outset of the game, you are given a low-end Harley Davidson, which you can use in any of the game's modes: single race, championship tournament, two-player head-to-head, and cop chase, which is possibly the best mode of all. The single-race mode is exactly as the name implies, a quick and easy race to the finish. Championship mode is where the meat of the game lies. Winning each race earns you cash and upgrades for your bike, and after saving up for several races, you can buy new bikes for your collection. You can purchase new rides from BMW, Moto Guzzi, and Bimota. The two-player mode is a single race against an opponent, using the link cable. In cop chase you get a badge - but it's still a race, only now you can hit the siren and pull the other bikers over.
