    The controls are difficult to master at first - with the option of both front and rear brakes - but persistence is rewarded and within hours you will be hugging the fringe of a curve and finding the right racing line.

    Despite advances in the game’s graphics, and a few extra tracks, we feel a little underwhelmed – it’s just too similar to its predecessor. Don’t get us wrong, MotoGP 2 is a fine racer, but it could have been so much more of a dream machine.

    Does a bang-up job of communicating the unique, topsy-turvy physics at play in keeping a 180-mph GP bike on the straight and narrow. [Sept 2003, p.80]

    There are a few more tracks, unlockable highlights videos, improved graphics, and better crash visuals, but Moto GP 2 is in most respects the very same game as "Moto GP."

    If the developer had spent more time refining the control scheme and graphics to make better use of PC hardware and had added more functionality to the game's menus and multiplayer options, the PC version of MotoGP 2 could have been as good as the Xbox version.

    This is the game and by that I mean THE GAME, every other playing software should not be even legally able to be registered as a game whenThis is the game and by that I mean THE GAME, every other playing software should not be even legally able to be registered as a game when this masterpiece exists. Easily the greatest game ever to be developed, the racing genre never was able to met the driving simulation and immersion of actually feeling like you are on a moving vehicle and physically at the stunning locations that the tracks are located. The graphics are out of this world, giving you a sense of speed that compared to real life is only missing the wind going through your face like a knife spreading butter around a freshly baked brown bread. The soundtrack was purposely made for this game and it clearly shows, complementing the game perfectly. This audible masterpiece was conceived with such care and love that it you could easily imagine it being played by an orchestra in a Roman colosseum, a Boom festival or just as elevator ambient music in a 4 story residential building. The sense of progress when unlocking new tracks and characters is very satisfying and gives you long term goals on top of each race event.

    Impressive how the sequels fell off so massively, specially since they were made by the same enterprise. As an avid Motogp games connoisseur, I can say with ease that the reason for this historical phenomenon is the capitalistic ideology in full force, where companies are trying to maximize the amount of games they can sell and having consecutive perfect games would remove any biological need for the consumers to ever buy another crappy playing software. If you never heard or touched this game, that would be why. Can very highly recommend this game to anyone that is willing to live life to the fullest (will need a fan to achieve this).    … Full Review »
