OVERVIEW:
=========================
Help Joe escape from an evil corporation’s underground HQ, in a high-octane chase through enemy territory. The action ramps up as the investigation turns from a peaceful investigation into a full-on pursuit, while adding twists and turns that expose the game's branching storyline.
This action game features auto racing and side-scrolling gameplay, with stealth and tactics elements. You can race on one of three different bikes against the clock, and you can do it either in single player or in online multiplayer.
At any time during the action, you can sneak past or fight off the hostile guards and drive as far as you can. Then, while you're driving, you can switch to driving mode and slow down or speed up. It's a game-changer of a mechanic that adds an element of choice and uncertainty to every moment of the game.
The action ramps up throughout, as the enemies get hotter and the stakes get higher. But you're only as good as the results of your own actions. Every race starts with a set number of things to do, and you have to achieve the best result possible, while you keep dodging bullets and avoiding death.
You can compete in-game with other real players or with AI opponents, and you can use the "Mute" button to control all of that gameplay as you play.
You can choose your online or offline play race, and you can choose your characters from the game's six-race roster.

The Cyclist: Tactics is a dynamic and strategic racing sim based on the 1984-1994 bike racing racer by Matt Sorum, The Cyclist.
The Cyclist is a bike racer sim in the style of the Pro-Am/breakaway races of the 1980s. The game features full career simulation, thousands of bikes, vehicle upgrades, and a functioning racing simulation. The Cyclist is a first person racin' game where each of the five tracks on offer have their own unique flavor.
The cyclist was the winner of three awards at the 2012 Indie-Games-Awards: Best Racing Game, Best Graphics and Best Sound. The Cyclist is currently in public beta development at Robot Entertainment.
If you're getting the impression that this is a well-designed game, that would be correct. That said, I don't really see the differences between LT's reviews and this video. I just don't get it. It seems like he likes The Cyclist better than this, while the video description just says it's on for the music. Can anyone explain the difference?
Turning off the sound is pointless, unless you're using it to turn the sound ON.
Why on earth would you want to hear your own cool tracks being drowned out by an ambient soundtrack, which by itself wasn't bad...much. I mean, isn't that the whole premise of the game, that you're the lead bike? I think our LT would agree.
Enjoy your cool tracks, and I'd love to hear yours.
The new game, with new music, is simply called The Cyclist: Tactics.

LT made a much more comprehensive review of the original version. It's part of the criteria whether he sees any purpose in this game, and I don't. The fact that your game is free doesn't help it, because it's still not good enough for a fully paid game, and it's not a free game because it's unfinished.
The soundtrack, in fact, is another good reason not to buy the game, because it's a collection of already very good music, with a bunch of new and one of the best tracks I've heard in a while, and a poor remix job in the majority of the tracks.
So, is there any purpose

"We began our work with the gameplay of The Cyclist: Tactics.”, says composer Michael Trott. "One of the goals that we had set ourselves was to adapt the music to the gameplay and vice versa, to follow the game dynamics. So we attempted to build tracks that could be switched on and off based on the game state."The game is played from a first-person perspective, and music driven cycles are the gameplay genre that we chose to represent.
Our first approach was to use built-in IDEAS like Driver Software's Kontakt Player along with the modular Katana sound set. From there, we started tweaking the engine's settings and further developed the existing sounds. These were then brought into Multiuser.
The original sound designer, Pasi Kärkkäinen, has been involved from the beginning, providing a wide variety of ideas and inputs for us to use. He has been producing the sound design from the beginning, so we knew that we would receive good quality sound tracks on our first releases.
The vocals were provided by Giovanni De La Rocha of the band The Bastard. Both band and composer share a history with the game that goes back over a decade, hence our connection with him.
We finished the tracks and we are very happy with the result. The sound of the game itself is great. The game is really well crafted and we are proud to be part of its success.
"The full length album is a first and a great achievement for us,” says composer Michael Trott. "All the music is being recorded in a studio, with musicians who are also gamers, so it feels like this is coming from the heart of the game. We have great energy in the studio, and even better feedback from the clients. We’re working with game developers, and they are able to notice details in the sound and music that we miss. It is a real pleasure to work with them and be part of their teams."
"The Cyclist: Tactics is a game that we are very excited about,” says Pasi Kärkkäinen. "We get a lot of good feedback about the game, and all the while, it kept me interested in the game's music too. The game is actually much more about the narrative and the characters. I had to think a lot about how and when to make the music interesting. It is also great to be able to use my music to soundtrack such a well-present
