MotoGP Hands-on Preview
We haven’t heard much from this game since E3 but friendly developers Namco have given IGN a sneak preview of their upcoming PSP title MotoGP. The PS2 racer shows its worth on the PSP, with stunning graphics and a great physics engine with the ability to mimic what you would have played on the PS2 version shows just how much effort has been put into the game, cramming as much as they can on a single UMD to make this live up to the rest of the games in the MotoGP series.
The racing field is filled with other racers, creating an always-hectic race environment, tracks spiral off into the horizon and everything in front of you is still visible despite the somewhat limited power of the PSP compared to it’s bigger brother. Of course, due to the way the PSP is laid out the only thing that can go wrong is trying to get the controls to work properly. With only one small analog stick, you cannot accelerate or brake with it but the turning motion is good.
The game will include 50 different challenges, each with its own set of rewards. One challenge might have you beat a single rider at an event, while another may have you navigate a tricky portion of a track at blazing speeds – which we’re sure you’ll enjoy. For each challenge you complete, you’ll earn new bikes, gear, suits or some other goodies to customize your game. The game is due to ship to the US sometime next month.
