MotoGP has been a niche sim racing game for some time now, however MotoGP 06 this time was made by Climax instead of Namco which continues to make mediocre MotoGP games. It is important to remember this is the first MotoGP game Climax has made. All previous MotoGP games have been made by Namco specifically, so if you are basing your decision on whether or not to get this one on Namco’s past MotoGP flops - DO NOT. MotoGP 06 features a robust career mode including both the professional racing sceen and the extreme racing scene. As well as that the online multiplayer is robust as well and does not have the problems PGR3 does with the typical live “ahole” punting you into the dirt. The customization in the game also stands out quite well - vehicle part customization, leather customization, helmet customization, and pretty much every other thing you would want to customize to your preference is available to you. As well as that the customizations transfer to the online mode which adds another level of ‘coolness’ to the online modes. Bottom line is that if you are looking for a motorcycle sim racing game this is definitely for you.
