GameZone: MotoGP 08 Preview

The MotoGP series has long been a staple in the racing genre, offering realistic handling and a Grand Prix experience on motorcycles. After years of changing publisher hands, the MotoGP series falls into the hands of Capcom, who are prepping MotoGP 08 for launch on the Xbox 360 this October. GameZone was recently given a crack at early preview code for the game, and the result is what you've come to expect from the series, namely realistic racing mechanics geared for hardcore MotoGP fans.

If you've played a previous MotoGP title, then you should know what you'll find in MotoGP 08. The game allows you to enter the world of professional motorcycle racing, creating a player in the career mode and choosing from several different bikes as you get started. At first, you'll only be able to select from three different motorcycles, but as you progress through the career, you'll be able to unlock more bikes, as well as helmets for your racer. Advanced users will also be able to tweak their bike to their own specific racing style.

Koku Gamer: MotoGP 08 Review

Koku Gamer writes: "The racing genre is one just as varied as the vehicles it features – and no more specific is the motorbike racing scene. Unlike the more popular disciplines such as NASCAR, Formula 1 and the countless arcade and simulation titles, when it comes to motorbike racers, it hits a niche to be frank. More often than not, a game of such a style will appeal to people with a genuine interest in the motorsport, and due to its uniqueness, will deter casual gamers. MotoGP 08 however was set to change that, Capcom stating that its multi-tiered riding models would appeal, suit and attract both casual and serious racers alike. 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.
