[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

First things first, if you have no interest in cycling, chances are that you will not be impressed by this game. However, if you are remotely interested, this is a great game. Of course it is a niche game, but for what it is and what it wants to be I think it delivers. You have your tutorial (something people seem to value), you have different career modes, you can race multiple races and have nearly all the official names (there is an editor as well). The gameplay itself is quite straight forward. You either go all in and blow up fairly quickly or you take a more strategic approach. If you are not interested in playing a complete stage you can fast forward to any given spot on the stage profile. Something negative though, there is no real atmosphere coming up. They could have added more drama and especially a different commentator. The voice is awful. People taking the mickey here, don't bother then. It is a cycling game just like FIFA is a football (or soccer) game. No one would think of criticising FIFA for what it is because they don't like football themselves. But there we are :)

While it’s not a terrible game it just doesn’t live up to the excitement of the actual sport it’s based on. Throwing lots of content at it means there’s more to it obviously, but if the gameplay is as much fun as riding a bike with square wheels then there’s no reason to explore said content.
