While looking like a generic racer, it's wily sense of speed and tunable realism will giv both simmers and arcaders fun.
Lies...
Truth be told, I didn't want to buy it, either. But I lost a bet with my friend and he gave me a list of bad games. So I just bought this little racer. I played MotoGP 3 WAY back then, and while it does not run now, I miss it, quite a bit. 07' is the forza of motorcycles. You can choose the extent it follows physics (100% for me), the difficulty to easy as pie to hard as nails and also there is a way that is different from forza to customize bikes, though it is a little stiff. Many people suffer from "shakey" controls. What they don't know is that motorbikes are not cars. They need to lean to make the turns. They need to balance the forces of momentum.
Graphiwise, riders and bike look spectacular, but borrowing from the official review, the other models DO look like Halo 1's space marines. The ugliness, however is compensated by perfect tracks. While loading screens are just helicopter pictures with a map and statistics, they are beautifuly modeled. Le Mans will reflect light and riders in rain. Laguna Seca has bike as well as car skid marks (A reference to forza?).
There are two on bike views, one that tilts with the bike, another that stays level with the initial rider helmet positon. The other are "Wheelcam" and chase views; standard stuff. But, uh, the worst thing is the learning curve. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A STEEPER LEARNING CURVE! Allegiance, you could master allegiance in the time it take to beat the hard setting. This is on sim mode, no less so don't come to me saying "Revon, it's easy" "Revon, you just suck" this review was made by sim gamers for sim gamers!
In conclusion, MotoGP 07' is an misunderstood gem that stands with splashdown (another game, but you race jetskis). It's no pulse racer, its not any of those crappy games. If you see it, and have a hundred or so bucks you found, spend a good 60 dollars and don't get angry if you fall.
P.S. Thanks to armake21 for inspiring me to do text reviews. If you've heard of him, good for you. If not, type in "games that suck" on youtube and click on a video by armake21. Funniest guy ever.
