Review of MotoGP 08

I've played both the Capcom (Moto GP 2,3) and Climax Moto GP (Moto GP 06) games and I prefer the Capcom games. The configurable controls, simulation level and difficulty make the easy for the casual gamer to pick up and enjoy while providing enough depth and realism to satisfy sim-heads.

Graphically, the game won't knock you out. The tracks aren't overflowing with detail but the bike models look pretty good and it maintains a high frame rate, so the sense of speed is there.

The game shines in the playability category.It's got the usual career mode, time trials and Championships but I really like the Challenges.There are 50 and they range from you'll complete it on the first try to throw the controller out the window difficult.

Online works well enough, but the modes are sparse offering only ranked and unranked races.It would have nice have a tournament mode.

Overall, it's a good game and my favorite bike race game to date (I own Moto GP 2, 3, 06, 08, Tourist Trophy and TT Superbikes)

B+
