    Decidedly average. Not much of an improvement on MGP2, just slight refinements here and there. If you own MGP2, don't buy this. Oh, and despite what Dave N says, the replays are no more TV-like than they ever were. This guy also thinks that "in the helmet" and "cockpit" are different views...ho hum.

    Looking back at the comparison between this and the last version, motogp2, I'm seeing only a few improvements. It's pretty much a reskin of the last game. Some new animation and options are there and some extra tracks but for the most part it's a retool. In my opinion I'd rather own this game over the last because the bikes pretty much behave identically but it is also apparent this gameLooking back at the comparison between this and the last version, motogp2, I'm seeing only a few improvements.

  1. Sadly, your competitors behave like drones, slaves to the racing line. When a rider glances over at you, your presence has not really been registered.

    Plays just like Namco's previous two games, with deceptively difficult turns and a great sense of speed. [Apr 2003, p.116]

    For serious motorcycle-simulation fans only. If you’re not interested in the minutiae of the sport, go dust off "Road Rash" and read no further.
