  1. Despite the somewhat low-res graphics, you never lose that sense of speed that's so crucial to racing games.

    Take the great career mode, the interesting challenges, and solid online play, and you've got one excellent bike racer on your hands, even despite a few speed bumps here and there. [Sept 2006, p.76]
  3. The latest and best bike title on the PS2 and probably any console to date.

    The realism is uncanny and I've grown to love the realistic gameplay, graphics and sound. However, the game could have done with a mode to suit causal players too - a mode that allows you to define the exact number of laps and the exact number of racers, amongst other things.

    Not so with Moto GP 4. The improved physics and the addition of 125cc and 250cc bikes go to make Moto GP 4 a worthy update option for all fans of powered two-wheelers, only the lack of online play spoils an otherwise worthy challenger to the Xbox title crown.

    Plays basically just like the previous games. The simulation mode is the heart of the game, although it is very difficult to master. Best of the series so far. [July 05]

    The final package is a motorcycle racing game that is certainly good, but far from the best on the market. If your weapon of choice is the PlayStation 2, however, and you lack for next-gen options, then consider MotoGP 4 all the ammunition you'll need.

    The fastest, prettiest and bestest motorbike racing money can buy. [Jan 2007, p.106]
  9. If you're a gearhead, you'll enjoy this. The rest of you? Well, it's a good racing game marred only by a lack of options and features. Still, makes a change from cars. [PSM2]
  10. MotoGP 4 is a late entry into a very crowded field of racing games for the PlayStation 2. The core gameplay is still as fun and flexible as ever, and the addition of online play is a welcome, if very tardy, one. Despite being slightly out-of-date, MotoGP 4 is still a good way to get your racing fix.

The games have become more and more evolved as they have come out and it seems the franchise is trying to give you a reason to keep buying the latest version. Upon starting the disc there is An obvious push in the intro to make sure you are aware of what's new. I would say this is probably the best version of moto gp on the ps2 as it's moving more and more away from arcade to sim, yet still retains a good enough arcade feel. In saying that though the gameplay is still pretty much the same. No damage and it seems scripted where you can slide out. It seems all play engines are based on these scripted areas and not so much the true physics of the vehicles. At some points in tight corners I did notice some weird slowdown that did not exist in the previous versions but that probably goes to show that what you get on this disc is about the maximum the generation can handle. It's a fun decent game with a lot of options. You now collect points for upgrades and have a chance to play around a bit with other customizations. Full Review »
