MotoGP is a racing video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2. The game is based on Namco's 1998 arcade game 500GP and the company's first MotoGP game.

Quick Facts Developer(s), Publisher(s) ...

MotoGP is based on the 1999 season, although only four of the tracks from that season (and Suzuka Circuit, which was removed from that season's calendar) are featured. Later games in the series went on to fill out the gaps and became more of a true representation of the seasons they covered. The first installment is also notable for the inclusion of Klonoa, the titular character of another Namco series, who appears as a playable guest character,[1] as well as Gun Koma, a character from Bari Bari Densetsu manga.[2] A sequel named MotoGP 2 was released in 2001.

Reception

The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 35 out of 40.[8]

David Chen of NextGen said: "It's fast and in-depth enough to satisfy the armchair 500cc-class racer, but it certainly doesn't fit the bill of 'fun for the whole gang.'"[14] Lamchop of GamePro called it "a strong bike sim with great graphics and fast gameplay, and is well worth a weekend rental at the very least."[16][b]
