This review is from: MotoGP 09/10 (Video Game) MotoGP 09/10 for XboxHaving playing MotoGP 05 on the PC, I found it somewhat easier to play MotoGP on the Xbox because of the controller. Replicating a motorcycle control interface for a PC or game system is difficult, as turning requires leaning the motorcycle first. The player's head bobs and weaves every which way possible, except for looking where you want to go in the helmet display mode. In racing sims like GTR 2 or GTR Evo, you can adjust a setting that allows your head to follow the apex of a turn which simulates the rider/driver looking at where they want to go. In MotoGP 09/10, the player's head doesn't tilt upright while leaning and doesn't follow the apex of the turn, making it very disorienting to control the bike. I ended up just using the external view. The graphics are fairly decent, much better than SBK X and MotoGP 08, although they don't come close to Forza 3, Gran Turismo 5, or other Xbox racing games. The engine sounds aren't that...Read more 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: MotoGP 09/10 (Video Game) First off, I gotta say that I truly like this game. Its the best moto GP game that I've played so far and I started playing the serier with Moto GP 1 and stopped after the third installment. Graphics: The graphics are sharp and look great for this year and there is nothing new other than a refinement for the graphics. Sounds: Again, the sounds are on par with the sounds of a racing game, all the bikes have unique sounds and each bike sounds different. Gameplay: This is the highlight of this year, the creators took a risk at making the game a little more realistic but I like realistic games. This year the creators allow you to take control of your racing destiny as the racer as well as the manager for your team. You are able to hire staff (press agent and engineers) as well as use different bike manufacturers to implement a better bike to your team, amoung other things. you start out in the 125 series and make your way up the...Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: MotoGP 09/10 (Video Game) I had given up hope that there were going to be any good motorcycle games on the 360. They are all pretty bad. I finally picked this one up because it was so cheap. I am disappointed that I didn't buck up and buy it sooner, because it's great! Graphics are bright and cartoony, but very pleasing to look at. The all-important frame-rate is solid. This is NOT a sim, but more of an arcade-type control, which is fine with me. With that in mind, it controls well. It's easy to race and stay on the road, but difficult to run a perfect racing-line, even with lots of practice. The game is not perfect, though. There are difficulty-balancing issues, some very odd neglections in the menus which make setting-up for a race tedious and slow, and a general lack of fan-fare and bells-and-whistles (short of a very enthusiastic sounding voice-over guy). The game actually deserves a 3 star, but since it's the only decent motorcycle game I've played in 15 years, I bumped it up to 4. I haven't tried the new...Read more |
