Customer Reviews

True Ultimate Racing!
What can I say.....undoubtedly the most realistic racing game on any platform! I had purchased Moto GP 1 first time round and was blown away back then. There are a few improvements on MGP2 from the first version. Firstly the training options are better and are spread throughout the game which is much better. There are more options in the bikes as well as changing the bike's set up to gain those extra mph required to burn through 200mph. A few extra tracks. First time gamers should just get MGP2 as its is the more polished version with the online capabilities as well. All in all its the most challenging racing game ever, I never seem to stop learning the limits of the bike and am always pursuing the racing line to eek out every advantage. Basically its like the real thing, jostling for pole position is constant.

The playback mode is excellent for checking out all the wipeouts and reliving your best wheelies.

I have basically stuck to the Career mode and find the stunt mode a bit lame (although looking to touch someone-elses back tyre at a 100mph bend does earn you some amusing points when they wipe out into the tyre wall)

Fantastic.

Excellent Game
This game is simply STUNNING in all aspects. I cannot begin to tell you just how detailed the graphics in Moto GP URT 2. You have at least 8 different views when racing so you should find a suitable view. The detail of the bikes is amazing so much so you can even see the tred of the tires on the bikes. Even in championship you can change your bike from a Honda to a Yamaha, you can change the details of your leathers you are wearing including the colors and design of patterns which appear on your leathers. The same goes for the details of your bikes. It is these small touches which make this game for me. I get easily bored with racing games where you get on a bike or a car and race round a track where you cannot change anything or a few things. The developers of this game have put the small little details into this game. The thing that makes this game for me is that you can copy your favourite pieces of music from a CD and have them playing as your racing around Donnington on your Honda. I really like this game and I highly recommend it, even if you rent it. If you like racing games you'll probably really enjoy this game. 50 out of 10 for overall.

Who says sequels are worse!!!
This has got to be one of the best xbox games to date. There are way too many XBOX car racers on the market but the Moto GP series has added a whole new dimension to this genre. They may be upto Moto GP 3 on the PS2 but I have seen that game and it is not a patch on this version of the game. I was a huge fan of the first Moto GP and thought that there was little for the sequel to improve upon. I was prepared for the type of minor upgrades that we see from the FIFA series each year.
In this game the controls are much the same as the original (why change a winning formula) but this is where the similarity ends. This version brings new tracks and improvements on the tracks in which it was previously possible to cheat on, this makes for much more accuracy when competing with other Live gamers around the globe. The customisation and career options are also greatly improved giving the game a longer life span than the original. There is the option to customise your bike not by just changing its colours but also by altering its shape, I have already come across some weird and wonderful creations which make for much more amusing gameplay.
The XBOX live options are also greatly enhanced over the original with it being an integral part of the games design rather than just an afterthought as looked likely with the first version. Overall this is the best racer I have played on the XBOX as the detail and graphics add to the superb gameplay evident in the first game and I wasn't even a huge fan of motorbikes until I picked up this game series.
