MotoGP 2 nominated for BAFTA Awards

Following yesterday's news that Capcom's Viewtiful Joe has received three nominations for this year's inaugural BAFTA Games Awards, Climax has today announced that MotoGP 2: Ultimate Racing Technology has been nominated in both the Best Racing Game and Best Multiplayer Game categories. The winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony in February 2004.

"To have MotoGP 2: Ultimate Racing Technology nominated for two BAFTA Interactive Awards is a fantastic honor and a huge pat on the back for our development team," said Tony Beckwith, studio head of Climax in Brighton. "We always knew we had a winner on our hands, but the response to the game from such illustrious magazines and institutions as Edge and BAFTA has really taken us aback. It's a credit to the talent we have here that MotoGP 2 has achieved such recognition and widespread critical acclaim."
