WTMG's Leo Faria: "MotoGP 21 is a pretty good racing simulator, but once again: it is catered towards a very specific niche, it’s not terribly newcomer-friendly (despite being a LOT more tolerable than the Ride series), and it’s not very different from last year’s iteration. However, it does feature a few quality of life improvements, as well as an improved performance courtesy of the PlayStation 5’s hardware. If you’re a fan of the sport, then you’ve probably preordered and couldn’t care less about its critiques. If you’re a racing enthusiast, then this version is only truly recommended if you haven’t got any other MotoGP game released over the past few years, or if you want another pseudo next gen game for your PS5."
CCG writes - "MotoGP 21 takes you through the 2021 motorcycle racing calendar, called, curiously enough, the MotoGP. The MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3 classes are all included, along with some minor ones like Moto Rookies. Each actual real-life racer from each class for the 2021 season are included, along with their simulated real-world bikes, which ends up being more than 120 total. There are also 20 tracks, which is again the same as the official MotoGP season. These are located all around the world – from the USA to Europe to South America to Australia, and much in between. Only Sub-Saharan Africa (and of course Antarctica) are not represented. Most major racing bike companies (presumably all used by actual racers) are also present."
Getting solid scores across the board on this one. Looks fun! Been a while since I have played a good Moto game.
All of the improvements to the franchise in MotoGP 21, make the title one of the best motorsport simulation games currently available. While not perfect, the enhancements Milestone have added to the title help elevate it above the competition, making the game an easy choice when offering recommendations to simulation enthusiasts. The new additions together with the sublime visuals, work together to offer gamers a package that truly brings the franchise into the next generation.
Paul writes: "The latest in the MotoGP series of games is probably the greatest too. MotoGP 21 looks great, sounds right, and when the gameplay and tactics click and you finally start to make progress through the ranks, it’s a great feeling."
