What's It About?
MOTOGP 09/10 is a simulation of the MotoGP World Championship, which is a global motorcycle racing series. Players can control a number of racers from all over the world and compete to win the championship. A Career mode allows players to create their own driver and team to guide toward victory during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. As players advance, they can unlock additional drivers, bikes, and other equipment. For something more casual, players can also participate in Arcade races and Time Trial mode. The game also includes a healthy online multiplayer component.
Is It Any Good?
Once players are able to master riding a motorcycle, the game is quite entertaining. The racing is intense. The game also packs plenty of options to keep players interested, such as a pretty deep Career mode and Championship mode. However, prepare to pratice racing motorcycles a bit before getting the hang of it. It's much trickier than driving a car. Turning requires much more finesse, and the bikes include two brakes players manage. It's not so difficult to make it unplayable, but players should exercise patience. But once you've learned the nuances of bike-riding, MotoGP 09/10 is a thrilling racing game.
Online interaction: The game supports multiplayer online racing as well as open chat.
