#MOTO GP 08 REVIEWS MANUAL#
You have your usual automatic or manual transmission, but you’ve got three styles of the ‘Riding Model’ these are the basic styles of racing. With all these modes, there’s more options when it comes down to the actually handling of the bike. Along with this, it’s possible (as you’d expect) to take MotoGP 08 online and race with people around the world, both for fun (Quick Race) or serious (Ranked). There’s a lot of variety in the Challenges, and it makes a change if you get bored of the racing.

There are 50 challenges raging from ‘reach the checkpoints to complete a lap’ to ‘beat an opponent who’s in front to the finish line’ there’s also challenges in which your brake discs are nearly worn and you have limited break life and you have to complete a lap. Other modes include your usual Quick Race and Time Attacks, and there’s the Challenges mode.

Depending on what difficulty it’s set to, it might not matter at all.Īlong with the Career mode, there’s the option to just do the specific championship, so you can jump straight onto the power-bikes if you wish albeit there’s no upgrades, just a straight up full racing season.
#MOTO GP 08 REVIEWS UPGRADE#
When you’re playing through the Career mode you’ll unlock new helmets (whoopee), but more importantly you’ll earn between 1 and 2 points per race, allowing to upgrade your bike in four specific areas: speed, acceleration, braking and traction. I’ve worked my way up and joined the Kawasaki team, a team I know. With 25 points for first place, and if you accomplish this on the 18 Grand Prix’s, that’s a total of 450 points, enough to join the ‘lower class’ teams in the MotoGP class. The way the Career mode is set up is very easy to understand. I took the route of qualifying as you get to know the track in a few laps and then going on to race, winning every single one I competed in. You can go straight into a race, practice or qualify, it’s totally up to you. The way the Career system works is totally up to you. Starting at 125cc (which you have to) it’s your opportunity to make it to the MotoGP class, and this can be done without racing the 250cc class, but I‘ll talk about that in a few sentences time. The core of MotoGP 08 is in the Career mode, which allows you to race in the 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP class. However, as soon as I changed my settings on my bike from simulation to arcade, I was in heaven. I was there for 20 minutes, straight into a race and I was crashing into other riders which resulted in me been thrown into the gravel pit while my bike was still flipping, taking corners too wide and genuinely being a terrible rider. Those of you who haven’t played a MotoGP game might get angered by how hard it is to stay on the circuit and avoid other riders, as I did within the first 20 minutes of playing it. MotoGP 08 offers the full racing experience across 18 circuits in 15 countries. I’ve been hooked on MotoGP 08 as much as I was hooked on Project Gotham Racing 2 when released on the original Xbox. Having changed hands previously before this I was expecting MotoGP 08 to be a somewhat dull experience, considering the change of both developer and publisher. MotoGP 08 has changed hands again and is in the publishing hands of Capcom, for now and for the next five years. The last motorbike game I played was Road Rash on the SEGA Mega Drive and now over a decade down the line, I’m going back to two wheels with MotoGP 08. But even I have never really watched MotoGP, sure I’ve heard a few names such as Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden and saw a few races on BBC2, but MotoGP isn’t as big as F1 for example. However, when it comes to MotoGP, the world champion is always 6-8 pages from the back page with all the details on one page. Seeing him on the back pages of the papers the following day, it was historic as he became the youngest world champion in Formula. Undoubtedly the talk of the racing world is Lewis Hamilton winning the F1 Championship just over a week ago.
