At a time when most racing games were predominantly focused on cars, Redline Racer emerged in the late 90s as one of the best in its genre, showcasing the thrill of motorbike racing. Redline Racer is an arcade motorcycle racing game featuring ten different tracks in six different locations (desert roads, beach, castle...), several teams and eight different bikes. However, you do not have access to all of this right at the start of the game, the classic method of unlocking new content in the form of a reward for winning races works here. Up to eight players can play in multiplayer via LAN or the Internet. The quality of motorbikes is derived from four characteristics (maximum speed, acceleration, controllability and brake power). There is also the possibility to customize your bikes and teams. The game features a robust editor that allows players to customize motorcycles and teams. This level of personalization not only enhances the gameplay experience but also adds a layer of strategy, as players can tailor their bikes and teams to suit their racing style and preferences.
