The Tour de France is one of the world?s greatest sporting events. A mix of individual heroics and edge-pushing grit, stamina and determination combined with intricate team strategy and complex logistical management.
Le Tour De France 2011 brings all this to the gaming screen as the gamer focuses in on a single rider through the mammoth competition and feat of endurance that is the Tour de France.
The teams competing this year include: Omega Pharma-Lotto (Belgium), Quickstep Cycling Team (Belgium), Saxo Bank Sungard (Denmark), Euskaltel-Euskadi (Spain), Movistar Team (Spain), AG2R La Mondiale (France), Sky Procycling (Great Britain), Lampre-ISD (Italy), Liquigas-Cannondale (Italy), Pro Team Astana (Kazakhstan), Leopard Trek (Luxembourg), Rabobank Cycling Team (Netherlands), Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team (Netherlands), Katusha Team (Russia), BMC Racing Team (USA), HTC-Highroad (USA), Team Garmin-Cervelo (USA), Team Radioshack (USA), Cofidis, Le Credit En Ligne (France), FDJ (France), Saur-Sojasun (France), Team Europcar (France).
Players will get to race shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest riders in the sport during some seriously intense stages with twists and turns that will push you to your limit. manage the efforts of your rider to get the most out of him over the 21 gruelling stages, riding honourably if you want to gain the respect of the pack. This is important, as your loyalty and actions over the course of the race will affect your reputation, which in turn will affect the strategies and alliances you form in order to win through.
The game outline is not unlike a 'Gran Turismo for bicycles'. An arcade mode, a 2-player battle mode, time trials and practice mode, and of course the most important; the Tour de France mode. The game is all about how to use your skills, energy etc as effective as possible throughout races. You must use 'smart racing' techniques, i.e., knowing when to spare energy, where to accelerate, stay out of the wind where you can etc. Racing 'full-power' from the start won't get you far. This requires you to get yourself familiar with how to manage those things first, and this is where the practice mode comes in. There is no 'racing licence' that you get by completing those practice tests, but I strongly recommend to do them anyway (even though some of them maybe very frustrating).
Arcade mode is straightforward racing on a selected circuit, time trial is what you expect it to be, and 2-player mode is also pretty straightforward (although the winner is not necessarily the one who finishes first; you get points if you are in front during the race and win intermediate sprints as well, so a 'hiding behind and sprinting at the end' approach doesn't necessarily work).
