During rain storms you will hear rumbles of thunder that really add to the realism of the rain effect. The bikes rolling in the distance or the other side of the track as you race down a straightaway are echoing and sound great. Other than that, all the sounds fit perfectly in the game. Now I am not well versed in motorbikes red lining and the sound it should make, so this may in fact be the actual sound but it really does sound odd. You know the sound I am talking about and when you hear it the first time, it'll be the first and only thing you will think of.
When you engine is red lining you'll hear it make almost a Pod Racer style of noise. As a matter of fact, it's a sound straight out of the Star Wars sage. The first time I hit top speed on my 125cc I noticed an all to familiar sound that didn't fit into this game at all.
#MOTO GP 08 REVIEWS SERIES#
The sounds seem to be pretty much what has become the norm for the game although the 125cc series has some peculiar sounds to say the least. And a few of the chase camera angles are extremely well detailed, but I really didn't enjoy the angle as you are basically staring at the rider's rear end and nothing else. At least the sky look great whether its sunny or stormy. I honestly think that the downgrade in track graphics is really what detracts from the quality of the video.
#MOTO GP 08 REVIEWS TV#
I would expect a TV quality broadcast of the replay, but alas that just isn't the case. While again, it looks good, it just isn't to the quality that it had been previously. The only other graphical aspect that I saw a bit of a decline was in the replays. The menu systems are crisp and clean and well done, so its easy to navigate to the things you want to do. At times it makes it almost difficult to see turns due to the rolling drips and drop splatters on the camera lens that distorts and disguises the track. The spray of rain hits the camera as it did in last years game but with a bit more intensity and it actually looks even better. Probably the most standout graphical accomplishment in the game is the rainy races. The bike models are solid, and the attention to detail on the riders as well as the textured leathers is quite appealing. Don't get me wrong, they look good, but they just aren't where they were with last year's title and one's before that. I think the track environments have some what regressed graphically. There are some great things in the game and some not so flashy things. So lets start off with the graphical nature of the game. Many things are similar and will be familiar but thats only due to the common ground of the sports itself.
#MOTO GP 08 REVIEWS LICENSE#
Capcom was the sole licensee for the Sony machines and now holds the sole license for the entire MotoGP series allowing it to bring its own rendition of the sport to the 360. One thing to keep in mind is that the new MotoGP games on the Xbox Platform do not have anything in common with Climax's previous iterations other than licensing rights. Many of the things that Climax incorporated into the game are present, but in all honestly, while MotoGP 08 is a great motorcycle racing game it does seem to have a regressed feeling in the series but it does show promise and signs of greatness. Climax and THQ are no longer at the helm of this elite flagship series and Capcom has now taken the rights completely of MotoGP. The graphics were ahead of their time with bike models and the track landscapes as well. It had the perfect balance of arcade and simulation style racing that one could just pick up and play.
The game was released and many folks were immediate fans of the series. Many hours and hours were spent playing the game even though it was a demo at the time. Back in 2002 all the beta testers were treated to the first MotoGP title in their Beta Testing Kits and I think just about every tester fell in love with the game. The MotoGP series of games has been a staple game during the existence of Xbox Live.
