 Not like GT5P October 30, 2009
Claycrete (Los Angeles, CA)
Preface: For the first half-hour I hated the mechanics of MotoGP08, so what comes next assumes you can get past that first 30 minutes of learning how to get the bike to obey.
It's also not like GRID or Motorstorm or Burnout or DIRT.
So what is it like then?
Tomb Raider...
Like in Tomb Raider, and unlike in Motorstorm, I cared if I fell, because the
controlls and physics ARE tough, but learnable(unlike SBK's), and dare I say loveable? Where N4S Shift will steer and brake for you, and SBK will actively destabalize you into a wall>:( MotoGP will listen to just your inputs.
And now for some SBK bashing...
Oh SBK why do I so despise thee? is it your 60 second load times between every
screen, is it your painfully awful "music", is it how your bikes feel like they're
racing on a two foot wide track covered in ice?
Closing notes:
-No chicks in this game:(
-Has rain:>
-20 second load times:)
-SBK, aweful
-MotoGP, awesome.
-2 stars for fun? Burnout was "fun", Motorstorm was "fun",
MotoGP08 is intense, is demanding, will make your palms
sweat and knees tremble, I can't call that "fun".
Fantastic game ! August 20, 2009

I have MotoGP for the first Xbox and loved it for years.
When I got my PS3 this was the first game I looked for because I wanted to see the improved graphics. I am not disappointed.
I was surprised when I saw these reviews but as always I checked amazon.co.uk for more input.
There are more people who reviewed this game there and their attention span seem to be a bit longer.
Of course you can not drive this game perfect the first two times you try, that would make this game last 20 minutes before you got bored. The handling is great and actually more difficult than the Xbox version.
Even on easy level you can now fall off quick if you're not careful, that makes it more fun than if the bike acted like a pinball machine.
When you get more skilled it is very fun to accelerate out of a corner and at the same time look back so you can see the rubber getting stuck to the ground.
Because I've played it on the Xbox it is almost impossible NOT to win a race at the easy level for me, and when you get more skill and get to the advanced level this game will not let you win without driving almost perfect. As it should be.
I believe that this game will give me many hours of fun for years to come.

If you're like me - love motorcycle racing, actually know what MotoGP is (not motogR, like another reviewer said), and don't come expecting this to be the two wheel version of GT5 - you will have fun with this game. Granted, graphics aren't groundbreaking, and sounds are pretty generic (so $60 price tag must be mostly to cover the use of MotoGP trademark), but as of now this is the only way I know of to "ride" the tracks of MotoGP circuit in your living room. As much as I was positively wowed by the racing games like Grid, I still have more fun with MotoGP08, simply because it is motorcycle racing.

Thankfully, Capcom provided a demo of this game on the PS Store to warn us about this game. If I had paid retail for this game, I would have had to write complaint letters. My first two races, the pack was impossibly fast and out ahead of me. Sometimes you can rub people during a race like you're a car. Other times, the slightest interaction with them produces a dramatic crash.
The engine sounds are absolutely the worst I have ever heard in any game for any system. Seriously, Road Rash for Sega Genesis puts this to absolute shame.
DO.NOT.BUY.THIS.GAME. Whether you like racing or not, I can be pretty sure you don't like shoddy, buggy, boring racing games put together in 20 minutes. I am usually pretty tolerant of developers, but this game is inexcusably bad. It wouldn't be ready for release with another year of full time development.

I enjoy racing games. After playing my fair share ranging from Gran Turismo on the PS1 all the way to Burnout Paradise on the PS3, I had figured the worst racing games I have ever played were behind me.
Well I rented this game needing a little change of pace and I was floored.......really floored.......by how BAD this game is. The graphics in the game were pretty much on par for a mediocre PS2 game (Gran Turismo 3 comes to mind). The courses are bland. The bikes look decent, but still nothing to write home about. Frankly, coming from a company like Capcom, I was hoping for more....... Auto Modellista was a better game than this with better graphics.....and that game was just around average for the PS2.
The controls are pretty much what you would expect from a sim only far less forgiving. I spent the first three or four times racing simply getting a grasp for them. I am sure there are some of you out there that thrive on realism, and in that case I suppose you wouldn't mind it, but I detest playing a game that makes me feel like I am going to crash if I so much as look at screen funny or miss a turn if I yawn (and I did yawn ALOT playing this game).
Overall there isn't much to be said about this games saving graces. Saying this game is sub par is being generous. As much as I wanted to find something good, I couldn't. Avoid this game like the plague, because frankly, I spent four bucks renting this game and I still felt gypped.
