PSX Extreme writes: "Driving enthusiasts will get their Holy Grail next year when Gran Turismo 5 blows us all away with its unbelievable level of authenticity and realism. But despite the fact that series creator Kazunori Yamauchi hasn't ruled out the possibility of adding motorcycles into the game, it does seem unlikely for the time being. And besides, MotoGP fans deserve a game all to themselves, which is why they'll be picking up MotoGP 09/10 in March, perhaps instead of GT5. If you're wondering about the title, this new motorcycle installment from Capcom and Monumental Games will span both the 2009 and upcoming 2010 seasons. You will have access to the 2009 stats and equipment when you purchase the game, and the 2010 upgrades will become available via download not long after it's released. In this way, you can expand the 2009 season into the 2010 season, which is – in our opinion – something other sports franchises might want to try."
As promised prior to release, the first 2010 MotoGP season update will be available to download absolutely free of charge for Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network users across Europe and Australia this week. The new season downloadable content (DLC) will arrive on Xbox LIVE Marketplace tomorrow, Tuesday, 6th July 2010, and PlayStation Network on Wednesday, 7th July.
Capcom is pleased to announce today the release of the first downloadable content for MotoGP 09/10 on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

While fighting blood-thirsty dragons and exploring the vast emptiness of space certainly fits that mold, so does driving at speeds of over 200 miles per hour with only two wheels separating me from the unrecognizable blur of pavement below. Capcom's MotoGP 09/10 provides just such an experience, featuring enough real-life tracks, riders, and bikes to attract any diehard motorcycle-racing fan. However, for everyone else, the slew of problems affecting the actual racing will make the game much harder to enjoy."
