Motorcycle racing simulator, RiMS Racing, releases today for the Nintendo Switch. As those who’ve already picked it up on other platforms likely already know, RiMS Racing sets out to offer its player a very realistic, very immersive motorbike racing experience, something it actually often succeeds at.
CCG writes - "I have reviewed and enjoyed several motorcycle games in the past, though I admit I do prefer car racing games (because crashing isn't quite so easy). Realism is nice, but as I play more and more of these, I have come to realize that if things are too realistic, there is more than I prefer or care about. RiMS Racing is perhaps the most realistic motorcycle racing sim on the market – and certainly the most realistic one I've played. But for me, it crosses that line of being so realistic that it's not fun for me anymore."
RiMS Racing is one hell of a realistic bike racing sim, but does that make it a fun game for everyone else or a niche experience?
Neil writes: "More bike mechanic than bike racer, RIMS Racing is going to appeal to a very niche player base. If you're looking for a reason to grab the leathers and show the world your finest bike handling skills, there are better options out there. But if all you're bothered about is fettling your parts and learning more about what makes those bikes tick, RIMS will gladly open up the complex avenues you need. Just don't expect it to provide much in the way of fun."
