Beat Rossi at his own Game!
Moto GP on the psp is a very good racing game for all of those petrol heads who enjoy 2 or 4 wheels.

On this game you can ride on bikes from the 2005 or 2006 Moto GP Championship. Despite this being a little dated now, most of your favourite riders are there, Rossi, Hayden, Edwards and Stoner appear as do the teams from these years including favourites, Team Yamaha, Repsol Honda, Ducati etc. The 'Championship' consists of an shortened 8 race series with most European circuits captured very realistically. The bikes are very well animated and are well detailed with all sponsors logos you'd expect, and are better graphically than the most recent Moto GP games on PS2 or Xbox.

You can race as one of the Moto GP superstars or create yourself and pit yourself against Rossi and co on whichever bike you chose. Bikes all handle with noticable differences and riding for a lesser team immiediatelly increaeses the level of challenge the game has to offer as you are often slower and will find brakes and handling tough. You can even notice the difference between Repsol Honda/ Team Yamaha/Ducati 05 when compared to the 06 bikes, which I was impressed by.

Gameplay is good and intuative, being able to follow a racing line is often the key and being careful not to go sliding out of a corner as this can really lose you momentum. Many characterisitics of Moto GP are captured well such as constant overtaking amongst the whole field. Many races will go down to the final few corners, particularly at the tight and twisting last few bends at Donington Park.

Not a definative game for racers, but certainly as good as the PSP has to offer for motorsport fans. It never really loses its appeal, I still have a quick blast even now, and I've owned the game for a year or two. The most exciting racing series has often delivered less than exciting games on all formats, and who'd of thought it would be on the psp that they finally got it right.

Great but gets boring after a while
When you play this game you are impressed with the detail of the bikes. You look forward to unlocking all of the rewards and can't wait to win the world championship. Unfortunately once you've won the championship theres not much left to do. The rewards are alright though with riders, bikes, picturess (which can be saved to the memory stick) and videos. This game is ok as a multiplayer however it lacks the option of racing your mate and the computer. Like I rate it its great for something just to fill some time with a great race. Depending on how your going to play this game I can't reccomend it to those who play on a game and finish it in a day but those who play just when thwey want to its awesome and I'm pleased to say I reccomend it to YOU lucky people!
