MotoGP 10/11

An accomplished racer aimed squarely at fans of the sport. Despite the high speeds and death-defying leans into the corners, MotoGP 10/11 is a game that's about precision and technique first, thrills and excitement second. If you've got the patience to master it, there's a deep, satisfying experience to be had.

Successful racing game is designed for the true racing enthusiasts. Devs managed to correct the mistakes from last year but there is still lot to improve. [Issue#203]

The game as a whole is an entertaining race into the world of Moto GP, however marginal updates to the core gameplay may not warrant a purchase unless you're a hardcore MotoGP fan who wants another ride around the track and mop up some achievements along the way.

MotoGP 10/11 has a few problems such as touchy controls and a lack of multiplayer options, but the challenging races and deep career mode will leave motorcycle racing fans happy.

Monumental Games has added just the amount of changes that the MotoGp series needed, and the result is wonderfully entertaining. Now, if only we could get better graphics next year.

It's one of the most exciting series in motorsport, and this year it's got a game to do it justice.

In the end a faithful MotoGP sim will probably have limited appeal to those not already interested in the sport, but those who do give it a try should find plenty here to keep them entertained.

It has greatly improved in comparison with the previous installment, mostly because we can configure the game to be a simulation or an arcade experience.

MotoGP 10/11 marks the series' evolution into a simulation with depth. It's a game with a steep learning curve and there are no shortcuts to mastery – much like motorbikes themselves – but with patience and perseverance the rewards for dedication are great.

In short, Monumental Games has done all the hard work – MotoGP 10/11 is genuinely deserving of a place alongside the cream of motorsport simulators; now all the series needs to do is pop open a magnum of Champagne and celebrate the sport just as confidently as it simulates it.

MotoGP 10/11 is a good way to get your racing fix. It's an enjoyable game that manages to capture the feel of charging about a track on a bike without being inaccessible to newcomers to the series.

MotoGP 10/11 successfully builds upon the last game in the series with improved visuals, overhauled handling and physics and new modes that make this the most comprehensive in the series yet. However, it still feels like MotoGP has a way to go before it really comes into its own. MotoGP 10/11 is good, but still a few laps away from achieving greatness.

There's a lot of improvement in this chapter, where handling, phisics and AI deliver a lot more than last year. It's still a shame for the overall big lack of polish, something that still keeps the saga away from higher scores.

New year, new MotoGP. Monumental Games has been able to increase the realism this year, by adjusting the behaviour of the motorbike and tweaking the physics engine (in fact, it's a new one). Still not at the level of best simulation racing games, but approaching. The same game modes from last year, give enough variety to enjoy alone or online. Also, this year you can count a new member in your team, in career mode and split screen, which is an excellent idea.

MotoGP 10/11 turned out to be fairly decent if not altogether impressive. The career mode alone should keep even the most seasoned of players occupied for a considerable amount of time, not to mention the online portion of the game.

MotoGP 10/11 is a solid enough racer once you get to grips with the somewhat iffy handling. There are plenty of options to play with, a career mode that will keep you going and although the online racing aspect is likely to disappoint due to lack of opponents, it's decent enough when you find a lobby to your liking. The real drawback here is that things are identical to MotoGP 09/10, which again is identical to MotoGP 08. If you already have the previous title, it's debatable as to whether there's enough content here to warrant a full-price purchase, especially given the free 2010 season update for the last game. It's one to wait till the bargain bin beckons.

Monumental Games tried to create a game that would surpass the problematic 09/10 edition, and what they managed to do was to offer a slightly enhanced version, but with many issues, like dated graphics and poor AI. Still, the rich campaign mode and the promise of the future donwloadable 2011 season make MotoGP 10/11 an interesting addition to the genre.

Despite the subtle and underwhelming changes the game has undergone, MotoGP 10/11 is a better and more realistic race-game than its predecessor. There remains room for improvement, but the developer seems to be on the right track.

It's a thoroughly decent representation of the sport with a good range of modes and some fairly neat ideas, particularly in the career. That said, it's dangerously close to being the same package that last year's game was and, until the free 2011 season update arrives as DLC, it's hard to find a reason why gamers should pick this one up over a discounted copy of MotoGP 09/10.

MotoGP 10/11 is a decent game, nothing more than that. It has to be said that the new co-op mode is really great, but that's the only really cool addition to this newest game in the MotoGP franchise.

Absolutely standard seasonal update. [Apr 2011, p.95]

All the flaws combined don't sink the game as much as they simply make it frustrating to play and for purists the physics will certainly cause eyebrows to raise. Moto GP10/11 is best suited for racing fans who simply want to hop on a bike and go while leaving believability at the door.

MotoGP 10/11 will disappoint anyone who enjoyed last year's game. In short, the 'all-new handling' the game uses as a selling point makes for a game lodged between two conflicting race genres.

It's great that MotoGP 10/11 adopts a more realistic simulation approach to the game, but I found the handling of the bike frustrating in certain situations.

If you have any of the recent versions, there's no reason for you to upgrade here. [Issue#71, p.86]

A game with too many flaws and few qualities. We liked the new split-screen career co-op, but shoddy graphics, bad crashes management and poor enemy AI keep it from being a real alternative for bike racing enthusiasts.

Other than updating the teams and riders, MotoGP 10/11 seems to have stalled on the line. [May 2011, p.96]

The new physics engine and split screen gameplay are nice additions, but only the real fans will apprecitate the other new features. If you have an older version then it ought to suit you fine for now.

Flawed motorcycle physics and lackluster graphics hold back the potential of this official MotoGP racer.
