Kunkurrenzlose motorcycle simulation

Moto GP is and remains for me the only viable play, when it comes to motorcycle racing ... The competitor Codemasters has obviously passed his SBK series after the first, was still really good parts more and more towards "Unrealismus".

Motorcycle simulations but includes certainly not just to some easily attained games ... The driving model of perverse souped "GP mopeds" to simulate, I already imagine very difficult before ... Especially if you yourself ever driven motorcycle ! ;-)

And I must say that this is excellent in MotoGP 08 succeeded, at least in comparison to the competition.

For handling:

I for one want to get conveys the awesome power of the cars in a motorcycle racing game ... This includes unwanted departures & with too much train at the throttle just with a like a swaying of the motorcycle with improper driving in curves! If I'm doing NEN departure for any reason, I know that I do not have the machine properly under control ... And I want to, I need to practice holding more! I do not need Need for Speed ​​on two wheels! For Midnight Club there! -D
Therefore is with me really only the (very demanding) mode "Simulation" using ... In this mode, an almost perfectly round Mileage is a far greater reward than any race in the Arcade mode won !!!

So therefore more long-term motivation is included as in most other racing games in this game. Until you can drive a distance error-free without driver aids, it takes a long time ... This makes for me the beauty of this game and it is all the more proud of yourself when you win the first race after many falls!

What drivability concerns therefore is something for everyone and the difficulty of each mode facilitates a beginner just getting started as the "Simulatitionsgeilen" Profi brings a challenge!

The routes:

They are graphically unfortunately quite unkind and sterile. Apart from that, they are, as far as the track layout, implemented more than successful! As for the braking points: There are hardly any places where you may be guided, so you have to really study intensively the routes to not constantly ending up in the gravel trap!

For graphics:

Well, for a next-gen game rather mediocre! But the bikes and riders look really good, especially the "Virtual Cockpit" is a feast for the eyes and it turns doing a pretty authentic racing feel a. The routes are as I said graphically not exactly overwhelming, but acceptable.

For sound:

Simply miserable !!! That's all there to actually to say. Especially the engine sound (125cc class) is partially correct annoying !!!

For AI:

It is a bit better than in previous titles, but still quite in need of improvement ... Mostly "insist" that rivals literally on your racing line, which inevitably leads to the departure. Where you will be even more frequently that of the departing, while the Sture for accidents continue driving cheerful ...

About the production:

The trappings rather lean, award ceremonies or as you look for in vain ... Are But in my opinion, not a must.

Conclusion:

A pretty successful motorcycle simulation has to offer more at intense debate than you initially might think! Revulutionäre changes will be sought but in vain, graphically as technically ... Unfortunately, there are also here still very many criticisms which the AI ​​and the sound concerns. Nevertheless, for motorcycle enthusiasts a clear recommendation!
