Its like entering a well-choreographed parade formation. Its this inability to correct your mistakes on the fly that seriously reduces the games realism and fun factor. Simulation mode requires that you perform perfectly. Any mistakes you make will be immediately processed into bad karma, read: Crash. Arcade mode is easy enough to pick-up-and-play, while the Advanced mode is less forgiving. Basically, the difficulties do just that, they increase the difficulty. The Advanced mode combines elements of sim and arcade, which you would think would be the best of both worlds, but the only thing it will get the best of is you. The three difficulty levels, or difficulty modes, are Arcade, Advanced, and Simulation. This is not what good racing is all about in my opinion. It seems that once it starts, there is no way to correct it. Once you begin to wobble, its game over. Just taking a corner can cause you to wobble a little, which ultimately sounds your death knell. One of the main elements should have been handling, since its far too easy to lose control of your machine in the Advanced and Sim mode. Its not easy to earn these upgrades in the more difficult modes, and they are limited to four main features: braking, traction, acceleration, and top speed. Points earned from winning events can be used to upgrade skills and your bike. In the Career mode you can create your own rider and put him or her up against any of the officially licensed riders included here. Classic and new racing circuits such night drags in Qatar and racing at Indianapolis have been added to the series. Bikes are included from the 125cc, 250cc, and GP classes. Its as official as you can get in terms of riders, tracks, and events from the 08 season. Moto GP 08 doesnt lack ambition, it lacks execution. I expect more from Capcom and Im not going to be happy until I get it. Theres nothing unique about this game at all, and most of that can be blamed on Capcom, which took the franchise over. The gameplay and the presentation lack personality. The fault lies in the generic approach to racing, both arcade and sim.
But theres one thing that Im sure most of us can agree on, and that is Moto GP 08 is just not much fun at all, regardless of what style of racing appeals to you.
It only goes to show that fun is subjective.
On the other hand, some find that sim racing is too time-consuming and difficult to master. There are those that feel an arcade racer is too simple and therefore not challenging enough to pursue. Attempting to bridge the gap between arcade and sim motorcycle racing, Moto GP 08 loses something.
