Online or off, MotoGP is a very slick racing experience, and its deceptively simplistic gameplay hides a very effective control system and devastatingly addictive racing.

PSM3 Magazine UKIf you're looking for a challenge and have the patience, this is well getting on your bike for. [Dec 2006, p.96]
-
Technically a good game, but what prevents it from being a great one is its lack of legs. The sense of accomplishment one gets from conquering season after season loses a bit of its shine when confronted with the same eight tracks and the same stiff AI, creating a lack of real replay value if there isn’t a stable of friends to multi with.

Play UKYou may find the whole thing a little too tough, especially if you're out and about. [Issue#146, p.93]
-
MotoGP is a good technical racing game, but the small selection of tracks and rigid artificial intelligence take some of the variety and excitement out of it.
-
It would be nice to see a season mode as robust as the most recent PS2 version of MotoGP, but as portable games go, what's offered here is sufficient for decent racing action on the go.
-
The Season mode is as basic as it gets, and there isn't much besides that. The riding mechanics are fantastic, however, and that's what makes the game a nice pickup for motorcycle racing fans.
-
A game that plays extremely well but is missing the modes to go along with it.
-
AceGamezAll in all it's a fun and technically competent title but lacking in creativity and substance.
-
A real no frills game for the PSP, but it offers a solid racing experience and is different to the majority of racing games available for the system. It's technically impressive and offers plenty of stats to track and bonuses to unlock, and multiplayer is there if you can find anyone to play with.
-
Moto GP is rather desirable for anyone that loves their simulated bike racers and the PSP once again proves that it's a decent handheld for racing fans.
-
Slippery controls, lackluster multiplayer and just "ok" content make this a game that only the most dedicated will be interested in.
-
Moto GP is a good racer for anyone who wants motorcylces on the go and is willing to work past the controls.
-
Like most PSP games, Moto GP is pretty much the same as the Playstation 2 version, just smaller. While the translation is very well done, there’s nothing interesting and worthwhile unless you really need it in a portable format.
-
While it has a few things going for it like its pretty look and the fact that it's the only cycle game available for the system, its overall difficulty level and its lack of variety in circuits and gameplay modes drag it down.
-
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKIt's definitely functional, but MotoGP is far more suited to lazing on a sofa than it is to gaming on the go. [Dec 2006, p.98]
-
A very precise, slick, and technically impressive game. It just lacks a crucial spark.
-
A bitter disappointment. It's a soulless, miserable outing that manages to make zooming around on crotch-rockets dull and frustrating.

BennyT.Dec 26, 2006Only 8 of the tracks from the Moto GP season is a real cop-out. Especially when some of the best tracks were left out.
