- FIM Grand Prix 500... Taking Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing to the Edge!
-
-
- You'll need something between your ears... to handle what's between your
- legs! In this game, winners become heroes. Losers become speed bumps.
- Every track, every rider, and every team on the Grand Prix circuit is here,
- and waiting for your challenge. You'll be wrestling with your 500cc racing
- machine on every curve against 23 other riders in waves of competition.
- GP500 combines frighteningly realistic models with authentic rider AI. So
- you better grab your helmet because one mistake could turn you into
- hamburger.
-
- The GP500 demo lets you race on the Muguello track. The Practice time is 6
- minutes for the 3 laps, and the Qualify time is 12 minutes for the 5 laps.
- You can choose from any of the six main race team bikes. You can save your
- single race or replay. The maximum number of computer-controlled riders is
- eight. In multiplayer, the maximum number of human players is four (and the
