I'd LOVE to see a game with the motorcycle dynamics in this game used
for a street racing or Isle of Man title.
It's much the same as the first MotoGP though, isn't it?
Online racing is alot of fun too.
I like it too, it does look similar to MotoGP (but then you could say the
excellent Papyrus Nascar games change little in terms of functionality).
The only quibble i have is the way the replay tends to rewrite history, For
example, in the aftermath of a crash the grinding bike and ragdoll rider
have different placements - try looking a few times and using different
angles, sometimes you're in the gravel, sometimes skimming across the track.
On one occasion two ai riders crashed and after viewing subsequent replays,
sometimes only one rider crashes.
It's been a mixed few months for sims, everyone seems underwhelmed by the
Codemasters games, but MotoGP 2 is genuinely exhilarating and, let's be
honest about it, the eye-candy is lovely.

Oh yea... someone mentioned tweaking the realism settings. I saw the
settings box in the demo, but can't find a way to access it. Maybe you
can't change it in the demo? No matter, I'm springing for the full
game today! Can't remember the last time I was so pleasantly taken by
surprise by a game.
Like GP2, I guess MGP2 doesn't record full AI data during replay, so you are
viewing a "virtual race" instead of a real replay.

I still feel the game's bike turns and leans into turns way too slowly.
My road bike certainly doesn't handle so sluggishly.
Some very strange camera views, what the heck is the dark tinted view
suppose to represent, the actual riders view? If so, his head is a foot
off the ground, odd.

The blue tint is to represent the effect of an on-board camera. As well as
this view, there are two***pit views - one of these is, i think, supposed
to represent a rider's eye view.

Turn off AA and screen effects or whatever it's called(it's on by
default) and the responsiveness goes up by a fair amount. Otherwise
there's half a second of controller lag... No joke!
That's all there is. Some glitz and over cooked textures.
