Earlier today Gamespot met with Capcom to check out a number of upcoming games behind closed doors at the Games Convention. Among them was MotoGP 08 which, they are pleased to report, had a much stronger showing at this event than it did at the E3 Media and Business Summit two months ago.
Again, Capcom was eager to show off how much more accessible MotoGP 08 is going to be than previous games in the series, so the entire demo was spent in Arcade rather than Simulation mode.

But was this enough to bring the game to the masses and revolutionize the genre?"
Too many game sites criticize this series, while it's one of the best motorcycle racing series out there.
