GameStar
SBK08 comes with a full license and offers the original tracks, teams and drivers of this year's Superbike season. Handling and tuning possibilities are very well done, but the career mode, single races and challenges could be more fun if it wasn't for the mediocre presentation. It's still worth playing for experienced players though. Beginners may find it too difficult.

Total PC Gaming
For high-octane, two-wheeled racing, SBK 08 performs well, but the Championship mode is lacking. [Issue#10, p.62]
67
PC Zone UK
A decent, if unforgiving motorcycle sim. [Oct 2008, p.70]

PC Gamer UK
SBK 08 races a thin line, then. Get it right and you feel like a superstar, though it's ultimately hollow. [Sept 2008, p.94]
62
PC Format
Riding motorbikes is cool and dangerous. Fact. This may simulate everything else about bike racing, but misses those two aspects. [Sept 2008, p.113]

LEVEL (Czech Republic)
SBK-08 is the choice of professionals – it contains outstanding driving physics, tutorials and motivating missions, real circuits and drivers, advanced AI and stable multiplayer mode. Poor details, too complex qualifiers brings down the final score but still SBK-08 is a good choice for all fans of single-track vehicles. [Aug 2008]
