TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge Reviews
A middling racer in a dreary package that contains one of the finest achievements in the racing genre in years.
This game has amazing graphics, but it has been created for a very specific kind of public. It lacks content and the physics of TT Isle of Man are not good enough for the ones that we see nowadays.

It is a pity that the alarming lack of content tarnishes the great gameplay and graphics of the new Kylotonn game.

While TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge accurately captures the sense of speed as you barrel down the country lanes of the iconic circuit, its twitchy handling undoes the experience entirely.
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge could have been the chance of a lifetime for all the motorbike fans. The Snaefell Mountain Course is glorious, the lights are great and wind blows like in an epic tale, but game itself is quite a wasted opportunity. The simcade racing gameplay is harsh and unforgiving, and sometimes you just don't feel the motorbike. A part from the handling issues, the game lacks of contents beside the Snaefell, and the career mode is flat and emotionless.

What we have is a game that is based on one core experience — an exceptionally good one — which comes at the cost of a solid gaming experience and ultimately feels like a title of missed opportunities.
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.
TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge is a definitive race around a legendary and lethal track, one that captures the thrill and joy of two-wheeled power unleashed with a satisfying and strapping sense of speed. A pity then, that the rest of the supporting architecture doesn't measure up.
If you were to boil TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge down to its essence, it does a fantastic job of recreating the storied event in fantastic detail.
TT Isle of Man is a good motorcycle racing game, realistic and very demanding. As long as you are completely in love with the legendary Isle of Man, it can even become a must.

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is here to revitalize Supersport and Superbike racing, with a simulator where motorcycling fans can experience the adrenaline rush of the world's most reckless circuit. However, its complex control can drive away those who are looking for a more direct experience.

Kylotonn should be commended on what is a great game, but certainly a niche one at that.
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.
Eventually, the good ideas offered are not enough to promote this racing game. However they are enough to let us say that TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge is not a bad game, not at all. It is rather a wasted opportunity, for the value and the resonance of the license to which it's bounded as well as for the strong, and felt, need to have a valid and complete motorcycle racing game in the videogame panorama.

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.
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.
If you’ve been waiting for a racing game that will truly test your abilities on the Switch, this is it.
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is a good motorbike game for easy access for those who wish to jump in and begin driving without having such a steep learning curve. While mastering each of the bikes and learning their unique quirks takes more time, they are quite fun to figure out and sometimes frustrating, as well. AI riders prove quite the challenge, thanks in part to the inconsistent crash-physics that seem to prevent them from ever falling off their bikes, while Career mode provides a great reason to progress further into the game and rise throughthe ranks to be the best rider on the Isle of Man, but outside of this mode, there is really nothing else to do except to go online or invite a bunch of friends over in order to watch each other attempt the same track over again to see who can get the best time.
