Holy Cow, This is Awful. December 25, 2008

Thankfully, Capcom provided a demo of this game on the PS Store to warn us about this game. If I had paid retail for this game, I would have had to write complaint letters. My first two races, the pack was impossibly fast and out ahead of me. Sometimes you can rub people during a race like you're a car. Other times, the slightest interaction with them produces a dramatic crash.
The engine sounds are absolutely the worst I have ever heard in any game for any system. Seriously, Road Rash for Sega Genesis puts this to absolute shame.
DO.NOT.BUY.THIS.GAME. Whether you like racing or not, I can be pretty sure you don't like shoddy, buggy, boring racing games put together in 20 minutes. I am usually pretty tolerant of developers, but this game is inexcusably bad. It wouldn't be ready for release with another year of full time development.

I enjoy racing games. After playing my fair share ranging from Gran Turismo on the PS1 all the way to Burnout Paradise on the PS3, I had figured the worst racing games I have ever played were behind me.
Well I rented this game needing a little change of pace and I was floored.......really floored.......by how BAD this game is. The graphics in the game were pretty much on par for a mediocre PS2 game (Gran Turismo 3 comes to mind). The courses are bland. The bikes look decent, but still nothing to write home about. Frankly, coming from a company like Capcom, I was hoping for more....... Auto Modellista was a better game than this with better graphics.....and that game was just around average for the PS2.
The controls are pretty much what you would expect from a sim only far less forgiving. I spent the first three or four times racing simply getting a grasp for them. I am sure there are some of you out there that thrive on realism, and in that case I suppose you wouldn't mind it, but I detest playing a game that makes me feel like I am going to crash if I so much as look at screen funny or miss a turn if I yawn (and I did yawn ALOT playing this game).
Overall there isn't much to be said about this games saving graces. Saying this game is sub par is being generous. As much as I wanted to find something good, I couldn't. Avoid this game like the plague, because frankly, I spent four bucks renting this game and I still felt gypped.

What a big disappontment. I pre ordered MotoGR08 for PS3 and was really looking forward to it.I recieved it today and the game does not support the Sixaxis motion controller you have to use the joystick. That is enough right there to throw it in the trash. Don't waste your money unless you like using joystick to control the game it makes it to fake to play for me.
