The official game of the 2008 season, MotoGP 08 features all the official riders, bikes and tracks from this year's event providing the definitive 2 wheeled racing experience. The development team's overriding aim is to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access points for gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide a challenge to meet each player's abilities. ALL 3 MOTOGP CLASSES MotoGP 08 puts the player at the centre of the MotoGP experience by letting them join a team and compete alongside their sporting heroes in all three race classes - 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Recent MotoGP titles had excluded these titles at a cost and Capcom are keen to ensure that all the riders are faithfully represented, which also enables complete progression through the ranks as well as giving the gamer a different racing experience per class.With scaled and competitive AI which adjusts within limits to give a more enjoyable race experience on the lower levels but the higher levels show no mercy. You have the ability to set up a custom match search, create your own match setting up to 12 players in total. All 3 weather settings can be set up with collisions also being able to be turned off if required. Accessible to all but hard to master. - Quick matches TUTORIAL MODE Also new for this year is a tutorial mode should you require it. This allows you to decide what motorcycle and racing style suits you best. But rather than the tutorial mode taking you 'out of the main game', this mode takes you immediately into an arcade race and offers you hints and tips from the beginning. By pressing START you can pause the game also allowing you to test out and alter the racing model (from 'Arcade' to 'Advanced' or 'Simulation', change your transmission options or leave the tutorial mode entirely. You can also choose to automatically see live tips whilst playing, where the game will judge your riding style and offer help and advice where needed. MAIN MODES Career mode's new for this year is the ability for you to create your own rider (in previous MotoGP titles you've only been able to select an existing rider of the MotoGP event) and develop your skills for up to 5 racing seasons with the aim of becoming the ultimate MotoGP champion.
