Development
As a follow-up to Top Gear Overdrive, Top Gear Hyper-Bike was developed by Snowblind Studios and runs on an enhanced version of its engine.[2] To make the motorcycle handling and animations more realistic, the game's polygonal racers were segmented into six independent parts.[3] The sound effects of the motorcycle engines were recorded from real bikes in a dealership.[4] The game was presented at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 1999.[5]
