I remember arguing with my neighborhood friend at the age of five that I could beat him in a race between his Schwinn and my Big Wheel from his house to mine. Despite my superior decals and streamers, I was severely humbled to find him sitting down to tea (well, juice and crackers) with my mother as I finally rolled into the driveway several minutes after him. When I did finally get on a real bike I fell. A lot. This is pretty much how I have experienced racing video games most of my life as well: either timidly bringing up the rear or swerving violently off of the track and crashing into walls, spectators, and small woodland creatures. So it was not without hesitation that I loaded up Capcom's preview build of MotoGP 08.
It's not that I'm embarrassed by my virtual driving skills, so much as that I am EXTREMELY embarrassed by them. It was a great relief to me, then, that Capcom seems to have realized that not all racing gamers are uber-simulation die-hards and made sure that MotoGP 08 is the most accessible version of the game to date, with a learning curve easy enough for first timers to grasp while still maintaining an excellent level of realism in the more advanced simulation modes."

Unlike the more popular disciplines such as NASCAR, Formula 1 and the countless arcade and simulation titles, when it comes to motorbike racers, it hits a niche to be frank. More often than not, a game of such a style will appeal to people with a genuine interest in the motorsport, and due to its uniqueness, will deter casual gamers. MotoGP 08 however was set to change that, Capcom stating that its multi-tiered riding models would appeal, suit and attract both casual and serious racers alike. But was this enough to bring the game to the masses and revolutionize the genre?"
Too many game sites criticize this series, while it's one of the best motorcycle racing series out there.
