    MotoGP 08 is meat-and-potatoes racing with enough challenge to keep two-wheeled gearheads busy for a long time.

    Serious fans of motorcycle racing will no doubt appreciate the realism found in MotoGP 08’s Simulation mode. That said, most gamers, who wouldn’t know Hiroshi Aoyama from Thomas Lüthi, will find everything but Arcade mode too difficult to bother with.

    A good racer, if you’re a super bikes fan, otherwise it is pretty average.

    An uneven effort, MotoGP '08 is a decent game that should please most newbies and occasional riders but proves that Milestone has a ways to go before it fully grasps the handlebars.

    Overall Capcom has done a great job with MotoGP 08 and while some diehards of the series may grumble a bit at the changing of the guard from Climax and THQ to Capcom.

    MotoGP 08’s physics and handling engine does give us hope for the future, however, but it’s clear that Capcom and company have some work to do to in order for the Xbox version of this series to reach its, um, climax.

    An inauspicious beginning for Capcom's new motorbike series that has little to offer even committed fans.

    While 08 offers greater accessibility to novices, we can’t help but feel it’s had a troubled development and ends up making little improvement.

    MotoGP '08 is a game that is unabashedly lacking in features, and if it weren't for the visuals, it could easily be mistaken for a racing game out of the '90s, as it does nothing to keep up with what other titles are doing in the genre today.
  11. Game Revolution

    Despite some bafflingly arbitrary concessions to the casual crowd, MotoGP 08 still caters overwhelmingly to diehard racing sim fans.
  12. Cheat Code Central

    Moto GP 08 lacks an identity. In an effort to be all things to all people, it ends up being not much to anyone.
  13. IGN

    Die-hard fans of the real-life motorcycle racing championships will no doubt be interested in this game just for the personalities, prototype bikes and tracks. They’re all here, but that’s where the fun ends. Overall, this is a functional but unexciting trip to the races.

Moins pointu et un peu moins réaliste que le SBK 08 de Milestone également, Moto GP 08 n'en demeure pas moins une valeur très sûre, une valeur refuge, un étalon à l'aune duquel sont jugés tous les autres bourrins.

    Ainsi, même le mode arcade reste plus sérieux que les moutures de Climax (06 et 07) ou Monumental Games (09/10) et c'est sans compter le mode avancé ou simulation qui pardonne bien peu d'erreurs. Le poids des brèles, leur inertie, leur motricité sont rendues avec précision et comme dans SBK 08, les collisions entraînent souvent des chutes bêtes et brutales. Un bémol tout de même (pour revenir sur l'aspect technique) à propos de la fluidité imparfaite de temps en temps mais rien d'alarmant.    … Full Review »
