MotoGP '07 (Xbox 360, 2007)

some people on ebay review the games only to get the score up so when they try to sell the game the reviews are all good. so typically you see an average score about 1 to 2 points higher than it really should be.
this game is going to be one of the most difficult racing game to master. the steering is responsive but because you are racing a bike it takes time to lean into the corner. also the more and longer you lean into the corner the better grip you'll get. it is very difficult to get used to. but it is so rewarding when you are earning gold medals and winning races.
the game is basically similar to the original back on the first xbox. the handling feels the same. the challenges however dont require you as much patience as previous games have. i did not play moto gp 06 however. i have read that this one is only slightly better. but not having played 06 i can only say i truly like 07.
the biggest beef i have with the game is the tail wagging you get in some of the corners. your bike's rear end will wabble like crazy sometimes but it doesnt actually effect gameplay at all. only looks stupid. almost like lag when you play online.
that brings me to the strong point. online play. no racing game is less forgiving online. it is so easy to run over others and then you have to follow it with a degrading "im sorry dude". other than making enemies, you can also make a lot of friends if you are a good sport. if someone runs you over and they apologize and you are actually cool with it, people will remember you. i have raced with people who have actually said they have heard of me in the game without ever actually racing with me before. that is a cool feeling.
the game requires major precision online. the closing rate can be so fast it is rediculous. when you out brake someone in the corner and end up running them over you are generally the one at fault. in many cases they go down and you dont. which can be worse. if they are seeded better than you then they might likely catch you and come back and kill you if you dont apologize to them.
overall a great game to racing fans with patience. best of all this game is proven to make you better on road courses in almost any type of vehicle in real life. because its emphasis is on precision. remember this game will take some commitment.
