MotoGP 14

Fans of the sport and franchise have a lot great modes to look forward to, with not only single player races but multiplayer also. Newcomers, as long as you know what you’re getting yourself into and are willing to invest the time, you’ll be racing like the pros with ease.

Newcomers will find MotoGP 14 a difficult experience to jump into and the graphics aren't as appealing as they should be. All things considered, though, this is a very decent racing experience, one that fans of the sport cannot afford to miss.

MotoGP is a very convincing, good game. Racing feels awesome, the game is super detailed and very challenging. It might be too challenging though, plus the fact that motor racing is not for every gamer. Props for the licensing, because it is great to race with the actual racers instead of John Does.

An entertaining handling model coupled with copious amounts of content make this a must-own option for motorsport aficionados, while the ability to tune the experience to your own personal skill level means that those in need of training wheels will enjoy their time in the saddle, too.

MotoGP 14 nails authenticity and the thrill of racing with the speed and handling of MotoGP bikes, but glitches and underwhelming track visuals keep it from greatness.

Brand new engine and a good balance between simulation and arcade. It might not sport great looks, but as a motorbike simulation MotoGP 14 has what it takes to involve fans.

Whilst Moto GP 14 is the closest many of us will get get to living out our dreams of taking a bike around iconic tracks such as Silverstone, it’s not quite a true simulation even on the highest physics settings.

A fine racer and more than welcome during the racing drought on new consoles.

MotoGP 14 is a major step forward for Milestone. This is undoubtedly one of their most successful works, a mass of content held together by a deep, detailed and difficult-to-master gameplay.

A very enjoyable motorbike sim experience with tons of game modes and content, tight controls and all the bells and whistles you might expect from an official Moto GP title.

Add the graphical overhaul, refined handling and experimental modes together and you end up with a racer that feels much more competitive that its immediate predecessors.

MotoGP 14 is a real lifeline for all fans of the main motorcycle racing championship. To learn all the hardships just switch physics to Pro mode, turn on the tire wear and disable all sorts of helping options like Ideal Trajectory. [September 2014, p. 70]

Early frustration at finding and holding the best racing line quickly turns to satisfaction as you become more accomplished at doing so. MotoGP 14 is an impressive package with a lot of depth and challenge but is hampered by the lack of a proper FFB controller unique to this type of racing.

Sets a respectable pace for two-wheeled racing on the new gen. That said, the graphical horsepower of the PS4 is still underutilised. [September 2014, p78]

MotoGP 14 isn't bad at all. It will offer sport's fans many hours of fun, but at the same time, a hard time learning how to drive the vehicles in the most realistic modes. However, visual display weighs down what could have been a superb experience.

While not as polished as other racing simulators, MotoGP 14 does a good job recreating the exciting sport.

The PS4 finally has a strong racing simulation debut to set the new gen pace. [Aug 2014, p.94]

At first MotoGP 14 on Playstation 4 doesn’t look like a noteworthy improvement over MotoGP 13 on Playstation 3. But after a while the improved graphics and physics are very notable and enhance the experience, even though there is still room for improvement. A great start for the series on the new generation.

Upgrades and changes make it a worthy upgrade over last year's, but while it might be an easy race for Milestone to win it still needs to put a little extra work in the garage to turn the series into a must-buy. [Issue#150, p.126]

Being fairly new to racing on two wheels, I wasn’t sure how I would take to MotoGP, but found that it quite quickly grew on me as I became more familiar with the handling and physics of the incredibly powerful bikes, by way of the career mode and the wide selection of bikes and classes to work through. However, it’s let down by certain graphical limitations and a general lack of polish to the presentation.

While it’s obscenely detailed up-close and the bike control is wonderful, there’s a distinct feeling of sterility compared to other racers. Still, a good start for the series on PS4.

MotoGP 14 is the official game that fans could hope for. And nothing more. The new gen version (PS4-PC) looks very similar to the old gen versions (PS3-360). The little team made the game well but it had to work hard to get a realistic simulation and powerful online modes.

At a full asking price of $60, this is a tough sell to anyone who is not a hardcore MotoGP/AMA fan.

Online is buggy, but amusingly so. It’s hard to recommend MotoGP 14 to anybody but fans of the series curious to see how it shapes up on newer hardware.

MotoGP deserves a better treatment and more respect. There are problems too serious for a studio with two decades of existence.

The same old story. Even though the story, in this case the game's driving model, is still pretty enjoyable. [Issue#244]
