Description

The smell of oil floods the pits, a few more adjustments and the bike will be ready. People surround you giving you the latest instructions; through the speakers comes the voice of the race director and you head to your bike. It's shiny and ready, it looks like the mechanics have done a good job. You put on your helmet and greet the spectators who applaud you. You arrive at the starting grid, next to you are the best runners in the world. You raise your hand and wave at Wayne Rainey. Sito Pons is also located on your right. Eddie Lawson has just arrived and stands behind you. Sorry Eddi but my time in practice was better than yours. You accelerate into neutral and the roar of the engine deafens you through the hull. They are going to give the exit. If you win the race you can be the next world champion. The commissioner lowers the flag … there you go.

Angel Nieto Pole 500 is a fantastic simulator of the 500cc motorcycle world championship. Advised by the former Spanish champion Angel Nieto, this game will allow you to choose from a huge number of options, the most suitable for us to beat our competitors. As soon as we finish loading we can choose between four options; The first of them will allow us to configure the type of game with which we are going to compete: one or two players, change the characteristics of the change of our motorcycle or load and save the game in progress. The second option shows us the statistics of the rest of the runners, that is, the times they have achieved in training and on which their placement on the starting grid will depend. The third will allow us to do a few laps of training to get to know the circuit and also improve our time to try to get as far forward as we can when the signal is given to start the test. The last possibility brings us directly into the circuit prepared for the competition.

The program incorporates 16 circuits that together make up the world championship of this modality. We can choose to compete in any one to train, but if what we want is to run to try to get the title, we will have to demonstrate our skills in each and every one of them. Another feature of this game is the possibility for two players to participate at the same time, in any of the modalities: training or competition. If you choose this option, the screen of your computer will be divided into two parts, in which you will see a runner at the bottom and the other at the top.

Since running all the circuits can be an arduous task that, in all likelihood, we cannot complete in a single day, the program includes an option that will allow us to record the current World Cup in order to continue any other day in which we find ourselves more. fit.

We will also be able to choose the exchange rate that our motorcycle will have. The possibilities are going to be two: a long change for fast circuits and a short one for slower ones. Only practice will allow us to distinguish between one and the other, so the best thing you can do to know the different characteristics of the sixteen routes is to practice in each of them. A last possibility to complete the equipment of the motorcycle will be the choice of the type of tires appropriate to the circuit in which we will compete.

The markers that will appear in this game are the classic ones in programs of this type. Thus we will have on the screen the indication of the speed at which we are going, the laps we have taken to the circuit including the time taken in the fastest, the revolutions per minute in our engine and the seconds elapsed at each moment from the beginning of the race .

Opera Soft has done a good job. This simulator has all the features that we can ask of a game of this class. It's fast, not as fast as it should be in the two player option, but fast enough to still be hugely addictive. The graphics are large and correctly defined. In all the circuits we are going to meet other characters such as race stewards or public in the stands that we will cross that will give the program a great similarity to the real atmosphere of a motorcycle race. All the graphics of these characters are also perfectly done. On the sides of the road, the typical posters and various objects that mark the different circuits in real life pass before us.

There are also signs to warn us of dangerous curves and when we get off the asphalt or hit an object on the side, a commissioner will come out and give us the exit notice again with his flag. It should be noted that the blows that we will undoubtedly give ourselves, at least until we come to dominate the game, are different depending on the speed at which we go or the type of object against which we have collided.

In short, a great game in which the competition option between two players is especially fun. This game has everything and everything very good: addition, graphics, speed and some arcade besides the simulation.

Cheats

  • Use the brake in the most pronounced curves. It will help you not get off the road.
  • Watch the engine RPM because if you change gears when they are low you will lose almost all the power of your machine.
  • Be careful with the runners, a crash against them will make you lose valuable time. Although it will be more dangerous if you hit an object.
  • On the slopes try to reduce gear if you go in a very high, so you will have more power to climb.
  • Train on the circuit and look at the plan of it. Learning the situation of the curves, even if it is only above, will avoid you disappointment.
  • At the exit of the curves there is almost always a cant that makes you get off the track if you go too fast.
  • When you are in the air, release the fire button, it will not do you any good and you will waste fuel.
  • Try not to wear the first one until you know the circuit. It is best to follow a computer controlled biker. Remember that he does know where the curves are.
