Harley-Davidson: Race Across America - PC Games

The fundamentals of driving are easy enough to learn in this game, but handling your Harley and maintaining a winning speed can be tricky. It is very easy to hit the ditch, oncoming traffic, or even your race competitors. Fortunately, there are no ramifications if you lose control and crash into a semi. Unlike the real world, all that is lost in a collision is precious time. Players must also budget crucial seconds to filling their fuel tanks--gas runs out fast and often.

Like many racing simulators, Race Across America offers real world course options, from Wisconsin--where the Harley Davidson company is based--to California, Utah, and Arizona. The scenery in these courses is rendered fuzzily, but that is unimportant. The terrain goes by quickly, and if you want to stay in the race, there's no time to admire the view.

Race Across America offers on- and offline play, quick races, and a tournament mode, where players spend race winnings to customize their hogs. After a few preliminary rounds, there is a final race in Sturgis, with a chance to win a classic 1956 KHK motorcycle. Are you up to the challenge? --Alyx Dellamonica
