The Street Hawk TV spin-off has a good premise, slick smooth graphics, and all the elements to make a great game.
Jumping and leaning the bike to turn all feels good in the vertically scrolling levels. The representation of speed, though, is a bit of a let-down. The alleged 285mph moves barely quicker than 50mph. And strangely, 285mph scrolls along at 20mph if you use turbo from a stand-still. This mis-match of expected, reported and portrayed speeds leaves me feeling a bit detached, from what is otherwise close to being serious fun. You reach your destination on bike, to foil robberies, in very simple first person shooting-gallery levels.
It is presented nicely, and fun to play for a short while, but this is too simple, flawed and repetitive to hold much lasting appeal.

This was a bit of a letdown. At first glance it's alright and plays alright, but the hooks are all missing, and the game gets boring rapidly. Street Hawk isn't a bad game, it's simple not very compelling or addictive.
