Gamespot: GC 2008: MotoGP 08 Impressions

Earlier today Gamespot met with Capcom to check out a number of upcoming games behind closed doors at the Games Convention. Among them was MotoGP 08 which, they are pleased to report, had a much stronger showing at this event than it did at the E3 Media and Business Summit two months ago.

Again, Capcom was eager to show off how much more accessible MotoGP 08 is going to be than previous games in the series, so the entire demo was spent in Arcade rather than Simulation mode. All 18 of the circuits being used in the 2008 MotoGP season will be recreated faithfully in the game, and on this occasion we got to see both Spain’s Jerez and Qatar’s Losail circuits–the latter of which is relatively undeveloped and located in the middle of a desert.
