Game Description:
The official game of the 2008 season, MotoGP 08 features all the riders, bikes and tracks providing the definitive 2 wheeled racing experience.

The development team's overriding aim is to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access points for gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide a challenge to meet each player's abilities.

MotoGP 08 puts the player at the centre of the MotoGP experience by letting them join a team and compete alongside their sporting heroes in all three race classes – 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Good results in racing earn points that will then unlock bike upgrades to improve attributes such as straight line speed, braking and cornering.

MotoGP 08 will mark the debut of the series on both the PlayStation 3 and Wii plus see the inclusion of the all new Indianopolis track plus the spectacle of night racing at the Qatar circuit. The game will also offer online play for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC owners.

* Three different handling models - arcade, intermediate and simulation - provide varied racing experiences and accessibility for all
* Ride as yourself and compete against riders from the world's premier motorcycling championship
* Select from 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP bike classes with each offering a different race experience
* First time MotoGP series will appear on PlayStation 3 and Wii
* Set competitor AI to match skill level
* Pit your riding skills against players from across the globe in a number of online modes

Character and bike models/textures look better (faces!). Everything else looks about the same as 06. =[

Now if only they had realistic damage for crashes...not necessary, but it might make me want to watch my wipe outs instead of furiously backtracking to restart in the pause menu. =P

Doesn't look bad from the screenshots but MotoGP '07 was terrific IMO (much better than the shoddy '06 version anyway) plus with Climax Brighton no longer involved with the game I fear that it'll take a downturn in quality. I remember Namco's MotoGP series on the PS2 being vastly inferior to the THQ MotoGP games on the Xbox for example.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see but at least the graphics look fine.
