With the inclusion of the new 2006 bikes, riders and tracks,
for the first time ever MotoGP fans will be able to
recreate the brand new season as it unfolds. The game not
only features the new 2006 season bikes, riders and tracks,
but the full 2005 season as well. There are 17 GP tracks,
including the new Shanghai, Laguna Seca, and Istanbul circuits,
and in Extreme Mode there are 17 street tracks, including
new Monterey Costal Highway. So what are you waiting for?
Get into your leathers and get racing...
MotoGP
'06 takes all of the traditional elements that have seen
the series garner critical acclaim for its three Xbox predecessors
and launches the franchise onto the next generation console
with a blaze of glory. New tracks, new bike models, refined
handling and comprehensive Live functionality make this a
truly fresh and aspirational title, even for hardened fans
of the series. For the first time a MotoGP title also
launches with the current season's data, giving unprecedented
accuracy to the real sport and providing another reason why
MotoGP '06 pushes the highly regarded franchise another
step closer to racing perfection.
If
bike racing is your thing, then you're going to have to go
a long way to beat the thrills and spills you'll experience
in MotoGP '06. You can customise everything including
your bike, helmet and leathers and the 2005 season is programmed
in too so, should you so want to, you can race against your
heroes who all perform as they did in the real races from
that season. Anyone who has played the previous game in this
series (MotoGP
Ultimate Racing Technology 3
for the Xbox) will feel right at home. While the gameplay
will be very familiar, the graphics have taken a very noticeable
leap forward.
This
is not a game where you can go speeding into corners or plough
through the competition to get ahead of the pack - it's much
more sophisticated than that. Touch the verge and you'll quickly
slow to a crawl, tap another player's bike with your tyres
and you'll end up landing on your backside on the track. If
you want to play this game properly you'll have to invest
plenty of hours in getting to know each and every turn in
every course. Only then can you hope to play this game like
a real bike racer.
But
it's the online racing that really gets the adrenaline pumping.
You can race against 16 players that are a match for your
biking skills. This helps to add a depth of realism to the
game, as the AI riders do have a habit of just driving around
and ploughing into you as though you weren't really there.
Any
serious bike racing fan will lap this up. It is by far and
away the best game in its class that we've ever played. Yet
another instant classic in the MotoGP series.
