Tried it....pretty good, similar to GP500, yet different as well.

Need to play around with it a bit more......not sure which I prefer yet.

Six of one......half a dozen of the other.

There are a multitude of problems with this game.
It looks like a direct port of a console game. No matter how high you set the rez.
It has major problems with Audigy sound cards, and probably others.
It seems impossible to fall no matter how badly I ride.
The lens flare is ridiculous. You can't see where the f*** you are supposed to be going
sometimes.
etc etc etc...

Basically, it's a shabby port of the X-Box version.

i would add :

- the motion blur at high speed that kill the feeling of speed
- he grip that is the same on tarmac and other surfaces ( damn if i
could take those angles with my sportbike on grass ;o) )
- theres lot of lag in the control.

IMHO gp500 stil lthe best sportbike "simulator". Especially playing
with the MS FF joy + Pedal's set for the rear brake ;o)

Yeah Motogp is a bit arcadey to say the least.
Seems to be far to simple, no losing the front end, but its got truly
gorgeous graphics.
GP500 is the better simulation, to show of your system use Motogp...i run in
2xAA as the motion blur is a bit OTT.

don't you think the demo is probably arcade-mode only?

did anyone get a LWFFGP to work with this one?  throttle/braking is
screwed up here, both in single and dual axis.  feels a bit like I'm
getting both throttle and braking on the throttle-pedal.
