TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge

A middling racer in a dreary package that contains one of the finest achievements in the racing genre in years.

Containing an impressive adaptation of the Isle of Man's Snaefell Mountain Course, TT Isle of Man Racing: Ride on the Edge will be attractive to motorcycle nuts looking for a new experience. But its high asking price, repetitive career mode, and lack of any online community means that everyone else can simply pass this by.

As a specific and finite experience, TT Isle of Man is superbike and supersport racing at its most intense and exhilarating. There's few tracks in the world of motorsport that are as challenging and downright frustrating as Snaefell Mountain, and even the most experienced of virtual riders will find their mettle tested. However, with a meagre career mode, few additional tracks and several issues with performance, this is a racing highlight surrounded by janky filler.

The first installment of TT Isle of Man from KT Racing is more of a technical demo that lays a solid foundation for a potentially successful series in the future. We’ll see how the next installment improves in terms of quality, but the first game reviewed here falls into the “above-average” category due to its mediocre graphics and a driving model that sometimes behaves oddly. However, I certainly wouldn’t write off this series just yet; I’d wait and see how the next installment improves in quality.

If you’ve been waiting for a racing game that will truly test your abilities on the Switch, this is it.

Fans of TT will find many things to love about this but will they all get around the gameplay? Fans of racing simulators will also love the gameplay but will there be enough content here to keep them playing? Those were the main questions I had coming out of this… but the team behind this set out to perfectly recreate this massive racing event and they definitely succeeded in doing that.

Kylotonn should be commended on what is a great game, but certainly a niche one at that.

This biking game is really for the hardcore fans not being something that any player could jump into.

TT Isle of Man: Ridge on the Edge deserves praise for its fairly meticulous recreation of the famous event. The sense of speed, high quality audio, and the impressive visuals, amount to a visceral driving experience.

Overall, TT Isle of Man is merely good, rather than great; the complexity of the handling and the accuracy of the track are very well realised. The hope is that it can scoop up a cult following and we can have some multiplayer fun, otherwise, the replayability just isn't there. Great job by Kylotonn and Bigben Interactive for putting it together.
