    Simulation racing fans beware; this racer will test your patience more than your riding skills.

    The gimmick of tilting the Wii Remote like handlebars is as engaging as this game gets. [Apr 2009, p.87]

    I've been waiting for this game to come out for a while. After reading the reveiws I was reluctant to purchase. Decided to take the plunge and was very surprised with the game. I thought the controls would be frustrating but found after a short time that they work well. Being abel to customise your set up for different tracks and conditions was fun. Have only been racing in the 125 class at this stage but have struggled to put the game away. Every one is bagging the graphics although not the best they are far from bad. I think the harsh ratings must be from serious gamers as for someone that just has a WII this is a very enjoyable game and keeps me entertained for hours. I hope other people aren't put off by the negative ratings and don't buy this game as i would have been dissappointed if i found out months later what a good game this is. Sure they could have done a few things better but what game is perfect. Looking forward to the next version of Moto gp. good luck al and enjoy your games.… Expand

    I'm into bikes and so bought the game despite the poor reviews. I found the default control very difficult without the Mariokart Steering Wheel, but with the "wheel" the bike's response was progressive and resposive. The GUI always expects the controller to be vertical which doesn't match the default in-game control scheme. As I'm a novice, when it comes to racing games, I haven't tried the advanced control schemes that add manual gear changing using the wiimote vertically with the knunchuk. The graphics are what I expected for the wii version (as compared to the PC) not good, but not so terrible they spoil the gameplay. Sound is ok but there's no background music when racing. It's no mario kart but I'm enjoying this game very much in arcade mode and don't regret buying it.… Expand

    I can genuinely say that I hate this game. I should have known when Capcom got the rights and handed it over to the team that cranked out the Namco versions, that I shouldn't expect much. Little did I realize that I would get so much less. The only great versions were made by Climax. Its too bad they will never again work on the MotoGP series.… Expand
