MotoGP 07 is the worst game I have ever played! if you already own it; I feel your pain, if you haven't bought it; don't
When I first played i went straight into training mode, which turned out to be harder than the actual racing. there is no way for a beginner to learn how to race except fall off, lose, throw a huge tantrum, pull the controller out of the wreckage of the TV and try again, this process is actually very frustrating despite what THQ might think. This game, despite its detailed graphics, has a distinct lack of any feeling of speed, and in the only tolerable view mode there is no speedometer, so i can't tell how fast I'm going, everything feels like it is happening at about 10 miles per hour, and so every time I go around a corner, and fly off my bike, don't brake in time, or lose the back end and highside or spin out it seems to defy the laws of physics.
As another annoyance, whenever I forget to turn my own music on I am serenaded by what sounds like a deaf, mentally disabled castrati singing through a kazoo, this has the peculiar effect of making my ears feel like they are being grated onto some cannibalistic plate of spaghetti. The "instruction manual" reads as if it were written by the very same person who sings the songs, it was no help whatsoever and mostly just reinstates what I already know, it details the menu systems, controls and game modes, but with very little in the way of detail or helpful... well, anything. For example, when qualifying small pictures of motorbike helmets of different colours pop up, I have no idea what they mean, and there is nothing in the "instruction manual" to tell me. Another time the "manual" was useless was when I wanted to see my position and lap number during a race, but obviously this is considered a crime amongst THQ's game developers, I went into the options menu and the HUD visibility was set to 100%, but there was no HUD, only a mini map of the track, then i looked in the manual and found, again, nothing explaining how to view my lap and position during the race.
