The official game of the 2008 season, MotoGP 08 features all the riders, bikes and tracks providing the definitive 2 wheeled racing experience.
The development team’s overriding aim is to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access points for gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide a challenge to meet each player’s abilities. MotoGP 08 puts the player at the centre of the MotoGP experience by letting them join a team and compete alongside their sporting heroes in all three race classes – 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Good results in qualifying and racing earn points that can then be exchanged for bike upgrades to improve attributes such as straight line speed, braking and cornering. MotoGP 08 will mark the debut of the series on both the PlayStation 3 and Wii plus see the inclusion of the all new Indianapolis track plus the spectacle of night racing at the Qatar circuit. The game will also offer online play for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC owners. • Three different handling models - arcade, intermediate and simulation - provide varied racing experiences and accessibility for all • Ride as yourself and compete against riders from the world’s premier motorcycling championship • Select from 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP bike classes with each offering a different race experience • First time MotoGP series will appear on PlayStation 3 and Wii • Set competitor AI to match skill level • Pit your riding skills against players from across the globe in a number of online modes • Includes new 2008 season additions of night racing and Indianapolis circuit 
-------------------- Jerry Burgess: "Valentino moved through the field in Barcelona and everyone that he passed got a riding lesson."
"I think that if Casey had raced in the '80s and '90s with Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey and Mick Doohan, he'd have seen that every weekend," the Australian told the official MotoGP website. "It was probably something that he wasn't particularly expecting; [he] probably expected to win the race easily like he'd dominated in the practices." "Pedrosa put up so little a fight it would have embarrassed a Frenchman" |

Nice link CURVE! I'm always up for some girl fights, but you could have posted some hair pulling, nail scratching, or cloths being ripped off type fighting.

Cant wait but it would be fun if you could do some stunts, like one hand stoppies and stand up wheelies just like in GPR4, and add some nice camera angles

But a nice stunt feature would be cool especially for the victory lap or to cross the finish.

But a nice stunt feature would be cool especially for the victory lap or to cross the finish. The old games were a disaster, PGR4 has real street bikes, GSXR1000\600, 999, MV, R6, CBR600, ZXR14, Busa, Cafe Racers, theres a bunch on there. Some great tracks too Macau, short to full lenght of the Nurburgring, the full lenght Michelin test ciruit is pretty cool Its a good game but nowhere near as good as Motogp, the gameplay is very different took me a while to get used to it. If they sorted out the game play it might have been better than Motogp There is alot about PGR4 that the Motogp creators should take on board and add to their game, I'm looking forward to see what the game play is like on Motogp 08, visually in the trailer it looks very similar in to the old versions |
