MotoGP 20's deep career modes and improvements in gameplay make for an even higher quality racer than last year. Yes Milestone can take the franchise even further after a strong MotoGP 19.

Yes Milestone can take the franchise even further after a strong MotoGP 19. The proof is definitely apparent in my time with the game. While the MotoGP season has been delayed. The cancellation of the Qatar GP has meant that this game has been released before the riders have even turned a wheel. You can choose to start your motorcycle career in either MotoGP, Moto2 or Moto3. This will allow those already familiar with the game to jump in at the top level and less experienced players to begin at a lower level. I would encourage all players to start at the very bottom and rise to the top, as the challenge and reward feels most excellent in doing so. I would get preoccupied with little details for hours and time just flew as the experience of Milestones latest creation drew me in. The customization options for your rider are basic but solid and choosing which riding style you wish to use is a welcome feature as well. As the team manager, you dictate which direction the team heads in terms of research and development along the season. Your agent will also recommend new staff as you progress through the lengthy career mode. Like a manager, you need to balance the quality that’s at your disposal with the cost of having better staff on the payroll. This adds another layer to what is becoming one of the best career modes in its genre. Team Management is one of the largest fresh inclusions for this year’s game and even at Moto3's entry level, its' crucial for how your team evolves. As expected in the official MotoGP game, the full calendar and testing are included in Career Mode, despite the interruptions to the actual sports season. Neural A.I. was a big improvement for MotoGP 19 and 2.0 has been introduced for this year’s game. Extreme realism has been implemented as well, with more accurate depictions of tires and fuel consumption. You can now see the specific wear for both shoulders and the tread, as well as temperatures. On the graphics front, the bikes look, sound and feel as good as ever. The menus are easy on the eye and readily navigable. I found myself playing with the photo mode for quite some time and was able to create some amazing images on the Xbox One. I would like to see maybe some of the filters of the photo option made available for use during gameplay by Milestone in a future title. The Historical mode has huge potential, as MotoGP fans will be looking to re-live their favorite moments from the series’ history. There’s plenty of scenarios to have a go at and racing them is genuinely fun, just like career mode races are. You get a description of the background for the race but it’s a very bare bones event without archive footage, cutscenes, etc so it feels exactly like a career mode race but with old bikes. Historical content does affect other areas of the game, though. With each completed challenge, you gain points which can be spent purchasing old riders, teams and bikes to be used in time trial and quick races. The harder the difficulty you opt for, the more you can attain. More content will need to be added in the future to keep this mode moving in the right direction and provide it improved replay-ablity. Milestone have maintained the core virtues of the MotoGP series on the Xbox One, but still have a long journey ahead with a new generation of gaming in the Xbox Series X releasing holiday 2020. 2021 could very well be a huge year for the Italian developer with so much horsepower under the console’s hood.… Expand
