    Best-looking and best-playing motorcycle racer yet. Enough said.

    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 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

    This game is great, if you like racing and want to be challenged... loosing the other two wheels is the best thing you can do for the speed demon in you. The learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of it.

    Game that had potential ruined by a twitchy handling system and being completely unforgiving.4-player split screen is the only good thing about MotoGP 06,which is unfortunate.

    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 bécanesDéveloppé 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

    MotoGP may only bring a handful of new bikes and tracks, but it’s still a handsome package. [July 2006, p.82]

    A staggeringly high poly count and sumptuous dynamic lighting mean haring down a straight at 230 mph on a 1200cc superbike is a genuinely electrifying experience. [July 2006, p.76]

    It seems all those evenings spent in containers sampling engine revs were time well spent, then - indulgence is a glorious thing when it's put to such good use.
