MotoGP (PS2)

Title: Moto GP Format: PS2 Publisher: Namco There’s something about Motorbikes that attracts millions of people to them. It’s quite probably the speed, more than likely something to do with the freedom and no doubt the desire to ride around with your lights on all day may come in to it somewhere. Well, perhaps not that last bit but one thing is for certain – they can be fast. Motorbike gaming titles are actually fairly common too although nowhere near as frequent or varied as their four-wheeled counterparts. For me there are three titles that stand out from the crowd.

Forget 4 wheels try 2 instead,as Namco has released Moto GP on PS2.Done by the same team who brought you Ridge Racer 5 this game unlike its Ridge Racer cousin is actually very good. Namco hasn't just converted their Arcade machine they have put some effort into making this a great game,it has an official F.I.M license so all the real riders and 5 of the courses are present(Suzuka,Castle Donnington etc)but its also more than your average arcade racer,imagine Gran Turismo on 2 wheels and you get a rough idea. Not only do you get the usual Arcade(finish the course move onto the next),Time Trial and 2 player(which is very disappointing)option their is a ...  Read the complete review

Do you want the thrills and spills of high octane motor racing? Well, why not take a look at Moto GP for the Playstation 2! This is one of those average games where it tries to be different especially as it makes it's first outing on the new PS2 but sadly it's neither here or there.

The next nice little touch is the option to choose your riders helmet from a choice of 16. All the colours are there and the same with patterns. Then you move onto the main screen presenting ...  Read the complete review

Do you really want 4 wheels? Why not change them for 2 and give the best PS2 racer to date a run for your money? This game includes lots of options with lots of different mode to play, there is a season mode to play where you pick your team but you can only pick from 3 teams at the start then ride for that team in a season.
