the best MotoGP game to date?
Reviewed for PC, which unfortunately is not availble on GB's list of game versions.
I have one major complaint only about this game: the anti-wheelie effect is far too strong. There's no effective way to dampen it inside the game. Minor complaints? If you create a female driver the commentator will still refer to her as a "he" or "him", so that's a big miss by Milestone. Likewise, looking at the body-design you can't really tell your character is female, there's no visual difference.
Apart from this, its a great MotoGP game for me; physics with different levels of challenge, a huge selection of riders and bikes, three series to compete in, runs 100% smoothly on my PC, the AI acts professionally, it plays well with the controller. It doesn't do much wrong. So if you are new to MotoGP gaming this is a great entry point.
For experienced gamers like myself, it's a solid revision-title. If you enjoyed #15-17 in the series you'll enjoy this one too. It's not a huge jump but there's enough changes to warrant the purchase price.
