Midnight Club II: Motorcycle Help

[meagher72]

About 50% through MC2 so I thought it would be a good idea to master the motorcycles now and be a true gamer that leaves no challange unanswered.

Anyone have any tips on how to handle these things?

Riding them is a royal biatch.

I do not know if the game developers were trying to simulate the feel of leaning on a bike to turn or perhaps somthing else, but the bikes actually turn and handle worse than the cars do and the changing camera perspective while leaning into turns and straightaways is a death bringer.

I am sure it must be somthing I am doing wrong... surley the bikes are not some cruel joke dreamt up by those cur dogs at Rockstar.

Maybe I am leaning to much, not leaning enough, not paying attention to my speeds, not using the brakes properly, somthing.

I do not know just exactly what I am doing wrong, and crashing the damn things every 1/2 mile does not help in trying to master them.

After about three races of <i>*vrooommm* *SPLAT!* *vroooommmm* *SPLAT!*</i> you are ready to quit for the night.

Any tips or advice from some MC2 veterans out there would be great!

Thanks in advance. :)

I'm actually in rehab from MC2 now (LoL) so i think i can shed some light on ur dismal situation. What i've found works best is to lean forward ONLY when u have long straight-a-ways or b4 a jump (if safe 2 do so) to catch more air. U have much more control w/o "tucking" so that u can avoid a vast majority of those all-2-common SPLATS!! The biggest thing is 2 practice, practice, practice.....and if u finish that u might wanna try practicing a little. Once u get the hang of it u'll really enjoy the bike since they actually DO handle better than 98% of the cars. I know it doesn't seem like it now but it's not that they don't handle it's just that they handle very different and it's something that u've gotta get used 2. If u can ride the rice rocket w/ skill (trust me) there is virtually NO car that can best u.

Personally, i think motorcycles are way better than cars. You just have to go to freeride, then just go around the place turning and stuff. If you want to take a tight turn, do a stoppie (forward and brake) and try turning while doing that. Once you get used to it, you'll have great fun during races. And like Exotic said, "Practice, practice, practice."
