Contents

Features

The game features all the official riders, tracks, teams and bikes of the 2007 MotoGP season, including the Ilmor Ilmor SRT. The game allows the player to race in 5 game modes: Quick Race, Time Attack, Championship, Challenges and Multiplayer in a variety of difficulties and weather conditions.

According to the publisher the game offers challenging weather effects, accurate physics models based on real data and sound effects recorded from real MotoGP bikes.

Xbox 360 and PC version

In 2007 Capcom purchased the "PlayStation format rights" for MotoGP previously owned by Namco through 2012. The Xbox 360 and PC format rights belong to THQ. Though the PS2 and the Xbox 360/PC games have the same title and are based on the 2007 MotoGP season the games are not related.

In 2013, Milestone returned to making the MotoGP game in their own right, a pattern which continues to this day.

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [1] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of three sevens and one eight for a total of 29 out of 40. [2]

There is no mention of what season it represents on the box but by the inclusion of the Muz 500 bike and the Paul Ricard track it can be deduced that at least contains some of the 1999 season - albeit with a much reduced bike/team/rider/track list. Later games in the series went on to fill out the gaps and became more of a true representation of the season/s they covered. This first installment is also notable for the inclusion of Klonoa, the titular character of another Namco series, who appears as a playable guest character.
