You have to have experiencie racing a bike to play top levelJun 04, 2007 The game is great sim, the feeling of racing a bike is outstanding.
Moto GP reviewMay 13, 2007 This game is pretty fun, although it is extremely difficult. The graphics are nice, and there is a large variety of courses and racers. Being one of the few 4 player racing games currently out for the xbox 360 makes this a great game for playing with friends. I definitely recommend this game, especially if you're a racing fan.
Best racing game on the 360 so far.Mar 30, 2007 You don't have to be a motorcycle enthusiest to pick this game up and have fun. In fact, you pretty much just need to know that motorcycles have 2 wheels and can drive really, really fast. A lot of people have been complaining that this game is too tough, but I haven't figured out why. I don't have any difficulty keeping the bike on course (only took me one full lap at race speed to figure each track out) and the AI is generally slow even on champion level. I haven't unlocked legend yet, but I'm hoping it gives me some competition considering I won each and every race I've run so far.
Although, for the casual gamer the experience may be frustrating. If you've never played a racing sim before you may have some difficulty training your brain to tell your fingers to slow the bike down way before you want to in order to make corners correctly.
The tracks look amazing, the crowds are lifelike, and the graphics are just stunning. The music sucks though so I reccomend turning on your dashboard's playlist.
As much as I love this game, I only gave it 4 stars because of the fact that my copy seems to crash my 360 quite a bit. I've emailed THQ and they haven't given me any kind of good advice yet. However, I won't let that stop me from playing the game because overall it's the best out on the 360 so far.

! wonder when it's going to get fun...Jan 03, 2007 I don't how these other people can give this game a good review. I've been trying to get some enjoyment out of this but I'm giving up.
If you're used to the Moto GP versions on regular xbox and Playstaion 2 or Tourist Trophy on Playstaion 2, then you'll be very frustrated with this version for the Xbox 360. It seems they must have rushed this game out. I've been playing Tourist Trophy (since it's release), which is an amazing motorcycle game, and it's miles beyond this game. I'm a huge racing fan and i thought i might just have to keep playing to get used to the dynamics of the controls, but so far I have not been able to get any satisfaction out of this game.
All the previous Moto GP versions for regular Xbox blows this away. I was excited to get this game thinking it would be the next level since it was for the 360, but it is a step down!!!
As far as graphics; this version looks more like a cartoon than a realistic racer.
Conclusion:
-i'm gald i bought this used ($24.99 @ Electronics Boutique), because I'd be pissed if I paid $59.99 for this.
-try to rent this game first before you buy it.
