    Moto GP 2006 gets a squeaky clean bill of health...and then some. The Xbox 360's first 2-wheeled racer is a godsend. [July 2006, p.69]

    Maybe it's unfair to compare Moto GP '06 and "Tourist Trophy" because they are on different systems(Xbox 360 and PS2, respectively), but whereas the latter comes off as clinical, Moto GP '06 gets the blood pumping. [July 2006, p.107]

    While we would have like to see more personality of the GP circuit and a few more gamemodes than what we say in the previous installment of the franchise, MotoGP 06 remains a very impressive title on the Xbox 360.

    Moto GP 06 on Xbox 360 is no cheap date, but rest assured that you get what you pay for. This baby puts out like nobody's business.

    If you own the very similar Moto GP 3 you may resent coughing up cash for an incremental improvement (keep in mind the game retail for 60 bucks), but serious sim-racing fans that can overlook the minor technical issues will find a highly rewarding racing game with depth, a lot of options, and plenty of potential competition.

    A superb game. Well done, complex, and challenging, it presents an experience that is worth the play. It suffers only in difficulty and specialization. If you’re into simulation racing games, you’ll like this game.

    "Tourist Trophy" remains my pick for digital motorcycle racing, but if you own an Xbox 360 and have been craving some cycling action, MotoGP is where it's at.

    Very nice motorcycle racing game with great graphics, textures, lighting and models. Only downside is that the decal maker is completely Very nice motorcycle racing game with great graphics, textures, lighting and models. Only downside is that the decal maker is completely useless since you can only see the sides of the bike, but not the top and the decals look very low res and jagged compared to everything else in the game. And putting them on is very painfull since moving the stick one direction makes the decal go in a completely different direction, such as pushing up makes it go right. Obviously, these things handle different from cars so some people will think it's too hard and stay away, hurting the sales as with every other Mtoto GP game ever. But it's definately worth putting the time into and most will agree once they take a corner perfectly for the first time, and it's one of the best looking games on the 360 up to this point if that helps the rest of the jaded 360 crowd figure out whether to get it or not.… Expand

    Développé par Climax qui ne fait pas dans la finesse, Moto GP 06 est un gros jeu d'arcade sans nuance mais pas trop désagréable pour autant :Développé par Climax qui ne fait pas dans la finesse, Moto GP 06 est un gros jeu d'arcade sans nuance mais pas trop désagréable pour autant : on peut par exemple utiliser le frein arrière comme un gros porc en plein virage pour raccourcir le rayon de braquage sans aucune conséquence ! en dehors du championnat GP, on a un tas de courses sur des circuits imaginaires avec de grosses bécanes surpuissantes : ça va tellement vite qu'on se croirait dans Wipeout... On tombe rarement, il faut vraiment y aller comme un bourrin dans l'herbe ou le gravier.

    Néanmoins les collisions sont un gros souci dans le jeu en raison de l'IA de type "Gran Turismo" : ils font comme si vous n'existiez pas, vous coupent la trajectoire et vous font tomber à tous les coups. Techniquement parlant, c'est assez vilain surtout sous la pluie avec une soupe visuelle peu ragoûtante ; à cela on doit ajouter les nombreux ralentissements qui pourrissent l'expérience déjà pas folichonne.

    Relativement amusant un certain temps, Moto GP 06 s'avère un peu trop mal foutu pour qu'on s'y attarde outre-mesure.    … Expand
