1UP: Moto GP '08 Hands-On Preview

The game has three difficulty modes: Arcade, Advanced, and Simulation. Arcade is basically the transition point for racing fans more familiar with car sims, as the game alters the physics to make races simple accelerate/brake affairs. You don't have to worry about falling off your bike because you're leaning too far forward and overtorqued the rear tire. If you understood the last part of that sentence, then you might want to try Advanced or Simulation mode, which amp up the difficulty and punish throttle-heavy racers with wrecks and wipeouts. As in real life, a 500cc sportsbike requires a precision touch: You need to lean into turns before you take them, apply the front and rear brakes appropriately, and remember to gradually apply the throttle as you come out of a turn.

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.
