What's updates?

This version has got some superb graphics — the gore is now in high-def, which means that the bikes are no longer pixellated blobs flying down the screen

Details?

Earn money by completing races, assassinations, robberies, and other challenges in your path. As you collect loot, you'll upgrade your character, your bike, and your weapons. A deep motorcycle fighting system with grabs, kicks, counters, critical strikes, and more.

I'm signing up. This version will boast a story mode as well. As the newest recruit in the most dangerous outlaw motorcycle gang in town, you'll need to race, fight and hustle your way through the ranks to survive and prosper.

Do we still have the weapon wielding competition?

Absolutely. The essential bit about pulling up alongside another motorcycle and giving them hell for leather with a pipe, chain, baseball-bat is still there. Not to mention being taken out by a rogue truck if you haven't been paying attention.
