Default X360 and Moto GP '08!!!

On a cold day like today, it's cool to have some motorcycling to enjoy.

I just picked me up another X Box 360 and got Moto GP 08.

Awesome game.

Whereas the past Moto GP's have been too arcadish this one has some elements of a sim.

Plus you can bang handlebars with other riders and not instantly go skidding on your butt down
the tarmac.

Great great game.

And of you have an HDMI hookup, the graphics are unbelievable!

Recommended...highly.

I always stare at it in the locked gaming case at walmart... but the price tag of $59.74 turns me off... be waiting to hear some reviews if its worth buying...

Maybe a couple old games have good prices. All the good ones are around $5 off. Way what a save. Also cool old games. I found "I love Katamori" and they wanted $35 ****ing dollas a PS2 game thats over 3 years old.

Hastings has some good deals on used games. They have a whole wall of used games.

Well at least the pc version is $10 cheaper, and theyve got a ps2 version of it out for even cheaper than that.. I can't believe theyre still making new games for that system.

You want a review?

I'm not a pro, but in this case with a game review and being objective that's probably a good thing.

Graphics: This thing looks awesome. At times it looks more real than the real thing, if that makes
any sense. The bikes and track itself being especially well drawn. If you hook it up to your PC
VGA monitor...it's incredible!

9.0

Gameplay: Where as past Moto GP's played like some kind of arcade machine, with easy
braking, no dependence on hitting your braking markers, etc., this version does not go that route.

You actually have to think and ride ahead on this version, especially on the simulation setting.
The bike even squiggles and dances beneath you under heavy braking.

Just like a real bike!!!

9.0

Sound: Each bike comes with it's own authentic sounds. Again awesome. Even the sound of your
knee pucks dragging the pavement is here.

9.0

Overall: This is hands down the best simulation, (YES SIM-U-LATION) I have ever played in the
two wheel world.

9.0
