A must for racing fans

I give this game (Moto GP) 5 stars due to it is the best racing game I have played. But if it is racing in general you are looking for then I don't think this game could compete with some of the others.
Well looking at the game the bikes that you can use are very realistic. You can also use well known tracks. But one of the things is that the graphics could have been just a bit better and then it might just have been able to compete with other racing games
If you are a motor biking fan then this is the game for you, also it is a must for you.

Awesome Game

Before this game was released, I really wanted it. When it was finally released, I raced to EB and tried the demo. I hated it! How could I hate the game I was waiting for so long? So now a few months have passed and I and I got Xbox Live. I tried the demo once and bikes were bouncing all over the place. That made me hate it even more.

One day I decided to really try and take a look at this game. I created my own race using the demo and had 16 people enter the game. First off, the Lobby is the best of all the Xbox games I've played. That includes NFL Fever 2003, Mech Assault and Unreal Championship. So I started the game and wow, this game just blew me away. I don't know what I was smoking when I played it the first two times. Handling the motocycles are no easy task. Just think Gran Turismo when it comes to handling, especially when taking corners. It will take lots of practice to take those corners at high speeds.

On XBL, the game is sweet. I experienced no lag and the races were intense. One good thing is that not everyone is on the same skill level, so if you are a new to the game you won't feel left out. The first corner of every race is always the most dangerous. Some are lucky to make it around the corner without being caught in the major wipeout caused by one or two people crashing. lol. Since I've played it that one time, I haven't stopped playing it. This game is basically at the top of my most favorite games list. And that list does include games like Halo and Splinter Cell.

I'm not deep into the whole motocycle racing thing, but this game is fun, especially when you see a lot of people in one area moving at high speed. Did I mention that the xbox communicator works great? Well it does. The games I've been in have very talkative people and that just makes the experience better. But be warned, one slip up on the track can cause someone to fly right by you. Its nerve wrenching when you have a high position in the game. You don't want to make any mistakes that will cost you your position.

Tight!

THis is the most fun racing game ever made! The controls are great and the graphics are amazing. You can not go onlie with this game though. You have to get Xbox live and the online version comes on the setup disk. You use the real game to unlock special things in the online version. So they work together. If you have both, you're made!

This game is AWESOME!

I simply cannot get enough of this one. Playing the game in off-line mode is an absolutely compelling experience and provides you with immense replay value. As if that wasn't enough, you find out that when you get XBOX Live everything that you've unlocked in the full version of Moto GP is available to you in the on-line version of the game that comes with the LIVE starter kit! This past Christmas, I had approximately 7 family members get an XBOX and/or the LIVE starter kit. After seeing what I'm able to do with this game they immediatly went out a purchased it. This is an absolute must have in your gaming library.

Adrenaline pumping

Wow! The graphics and physics in this game are great fun! Really gets your heart pounding zipping around corners while a bunch of riders are right on you tail. Get this one for sure!

The good news is that since Xbox live comes with a demo version of this game, there will be a huge base of players on the Internet. That means there are plenty of games to pick-up and lots of friends to meet. Unfortunately, most of these gamers on Xbox Live are NOT there for this game. So it is difficult to find a good game where 75% of the people aren't just on to test out their connection and communicator. That means a lot of people crashing a few driving backwards. For those who are playing it only as a demo on Live, the game is not that easy to pick up. The physics are real, which means you are going to work to keep your bike on the track and off of the grass. For those who are racing fans, you will be pleased with the game. (Check the other reviews, which go into more of the details.) I hope, though, that the on-line play matures a bit.

Fun racing game

This is a great racing game, it's a little more difficult than the normal games but that is what makes it fun, a little more of a challenge.

My husband loves it!

I really didn't know whether to give this a 5 or a 1 since my husband loves it so much he plays it several times each week! <> Fortunately, it's a game I can watch with him (very little violence and no gore).

Moto GP is tough to learn at first (picture motorcycles at full lean and 160+ mph careening into the grass/dirt and wiping out). Frankly, I wasn't a big racing game fan (I prefer FPS). However, after you learn the ins-and-outs of breaking, accelerating, downshifting, and leaning, the game is great fun. Add to that the competition of playing on Xbox Live against 15 others who are learning the game at the same time as you, and you have a formula that will keep you from getting a full nights sleep for months. For example, I've reached an 800 ranking out of about 10,000 players and I have a (very) full time job. Great game. In a word "addicting".

Outstanding!!!

I played a demo version of this game in a store on XBOX and thought it was great. At the time I didn't have an XBOX so I picked up Moto GP 2 for PS2 thinking it would be the same just better graphics on XBOX....Boy was I wrong. This game is excellent. The PS2 version doesn't even come close. I've only had it for a week and I've already logged more hours on it than I have with the PS2 version and I've had it for over 3 months. BUY IT! You'll love it! If you don't believe me and you're lucky enough to have a PS2 and an XBOX, rent it for each system and judge them yourself.
