Curious Reviews: MotoGP 10/11


Xbox 360, also PS3
In as sharp a contrast to Motorstorm Apocalypse’s rough and tumble bike action as you could get, MotoGP 10/11 is a racing game for those preferring two wheels to four, and a huge dose of realism.

Essentially Forza Motorsport with bikes, MotoGP is a purists dream, pushing simulation, statistics and the racing line over casual laughs. Super Hang On this aint.

Accurately modelling racing physics and bike control, it strives to deliver a definitive experience for fans of the sport. The career mode takes things further too, giving you a calender of events, staff to hire and sponsors to chase, introducing an edge of management rarely seen in the racing genre.

While bike tuning may be limited in comparison to the likes of Forza, the real focus is on the track, in which MotoGP delivers a compelling experience.

Here, the world of motorbike racing is recreated in fine detail, with an emphasis on speed and subtlety delivering a singular vision where the racing line is all that matters.

It’s this dedication to the forms and functions of the motorbike that make MotoGP a divisive racer â€" the realistic handling model is unforgiving, but then so is the real thing.
