Moto GP4 Reviews
Finally, you will do the actual race itself. A Challenge Mode includes 125 different Challenges. One particularly enjoyable aspect of the game is getting to race against some of the sport's stars, especially facing the current "young guns" like Dani Pedrosa, Randy de Puniet, and Casey Stoner, while they were still in the 250cc class. The better the team you choose, the better the result they expect from you. This directly affects how fast they can go on each track. This game is so good, I bought MotoGP 2 and MotoGP 3 used from 3rd party sellers to get a feel for the earlier seasons, including the transition year between 500cc and 990cc eras.
The three classes of racing are quite distinctly different in feeling and racing style, and each bike is different from the others in the same class, as well. The season can be set up to have races of 2 laps, 5 laps or full (about 21-28 laps, depending on the length of the track and the class you're racing). You can also unlock a Legends racing class, but I have yet to do that and can only imagine it goes back to the 500cc 2-stroke era. Next, you can turn on or off Sim mode and, if not in Sim mode, can turn on Automatic Braking, which means all you have to do is hold down the gas and steer, which is great for younger children. The various trials include racing a section of track within a specific time, following a difficult pylon course on various tracks, and a "survival" mode where you run a continuous race of 1 lap each against increasingly good opposition riders and bikes. Racing in the rain is a particular challenge in that you lose all your normal braking markers and must really know the track to be successful. You can "purchase" new tracks (such as Suzuka '02), all the riders in each class for play in Arcade mode, and various videos and still images from both the game and real MotoGP.
Regardless of length, you get a full grid of opponents to race against (18+ for MotoGP, more for the smaller classes). After you're comfortable with the track and your settings, you will run through Qualifying Practice. There are 16 races in the season and each race has a basic routine. The MotoGP points allow you to purchase various things from the store. To get these you must complete a very difficult challenge, such as getting your bike above a certain speed by the time it crosses a line, or stopping within a coned area after racing down a long straight, but without any preparation. During the season you will get the opportunity to test new parts for your bike, such as a new engine, better brakes, new fairing, etc.
The heart of the game is the Season mode, where you can join the MotoGP circuit as a rookie on any of the various teams in the 125cc class. Also unlike TT, there is a range of difficulty levels and the ability to race in wet conditions. In addition to Season play, there is an Arcade mode for one-off racing and both online and local multiplayer modes. Having thoroughly enjoyed Toursist Trophy, I looked for something with a bit more structure and have been very satisfied with MotoGP 4. These are generally unlocked and made available for purchase by completing Challenges.
Some tracks such as Mugello, will need higher speeds, while tracks with shorter straights will be better with lower top speeds and higher acceleration. Part of this will be due to your riding style and once you find something that works, it won't need much adjustment for other tracks, except to adjust top speed vs acceleration. Finally, after 2 seasons you may get a chance to enter the premier class - MotoGP. The Time Trial mode allows you to use a ghost replay and also shows the racing line of the ghost image, allowing you to visually see what you did the previous time through, no matter where the ghost image may actually be. The Challenges range from winning a championship in season mode to specific one-off riding trials and can be very difficult.
The focus of this game is MotoGP racing and includes all the bikes, riders, teams and tracks from the 2004 season in all three classes (125cc, 250cc, and MotoGP). Depending on your results in your first season, you may get offered a chance to ride in the 250cc class, again picking the team you want to ride for. There is less flash than in Tourist Trophy, but you get to race against a full grid of opponents on a wide range of bikes, instead of against just 2-5 opponents, sometimes all on the same model, as in TT. You can choose between Easy, Normal and Hard for the opponent ability in races. MotoGP is a great sport and this game is a great presentation of the sport and a a lot of fun with literally hundreds of hours of gamplay. First you engage in Free Practice, which allows you to learn the track and adjust your bike's settings for best performance on that particular track. Highly recommended for any Racing Game fan, and especially to fans of motorcycle racing. As for the graphics, I don't know what others are complaining about.
This gives you three laps to get the best possible time and will determine your position at the start of the race. You can set the weather conditions of indivudal races in Arcade mode and can choose to race the season in all Dry, all Wet, or Randomly selected weather. Completing a Challenge awards MotoGP Points and unlocks things you can "buy" with those points. There is plenty of detail, especially where it is needed in the track and the braking identifiers.
Enjoy. This is a dream game come true for motorcycle fans. Too many bikes and so little time. Different bikes equal different challenges. All 3 FIM Motogp Motorcycle classes are available.
I just recently bought this game and put it in my PS2. Overall, I wish I had saved my money. You can not even turn around on a track during a race.The graphics make MotoGP4 look like it belongs on the PS One. The only somewhat positive part of this game is the AI in that you race against more racers at a time than in TT. The graphics do not even compare with Tourist Trophy and the gameplay and controls are a horrible attempt at a simulation. Two thumbs down. WOW.what a disappointment.
It was becuase of my curiosity I bought this game and I ended up disappointed .It wasn't really what I expected and its not simulated and its not realistic.The graphics is poor poor poor even in the replays.I am a die hard fan of gran turismo and I couldn't believe I selected to purchase this instead of tourist trophy.Well I learned my lesson and I am going to get tourist trophy now and I am sure I wont be disappointed because even in these reviews you mostly hear the words.realistic,simulation which is what I want.The only good tings I appreciate from the game is the official famous motogp riders being used in the game and their bikes.But other than that it ain't fun atold.
ok so i rented this game because i herd it was pretty cool.well i played it while i had it and omg its horable the gameplay is the worst nothing near realistic and im a fan of grand tourismo so yea.the graphics are pretty nice though i have to say.overall the game is ok i guess
