    • “Gameplay is so much fun, the career is long and immersive, and the graphics are just stunning.”
    • “The graphics are out of date even for 2013; the sound of the motorcycles is terrible and the physics are awful.”

  • gameplay
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, some users noted issues such as aggressive AI, minor visual bugs, and a lack of polish that detracts from the overall experience. While the game is considered fun and immersive, especially in career mode, comparisons to newer versions highlight its limitations in graphics and gameplay refinement.

    • “Any of the last 3 MotoGP games are better in pretty much every aspect including the last one that Milestone themselves made back in '08... yes, the game made by the same company 5 years ago had better visuals, audio, gameplay, simulation... it even had better controller feedback.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with users reporting frequent freezes during startup and loading screens, particularly when connecting to servers or watching videos. While some players have noted that it runs well on lower settings and on the Steam Deck, graphical glitches and occasional gameplay bugs detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, many still find the game enjoyable and worth the price.

    • “Well worth the price and also runs great on Steam Deck despite the bronze rating.”
    • “It runs great at low settings.”
    • “Tried on 2 different PCs, both NVIDIA + Intel, with the latest Windows updates and drivers, still freezes.”

    • “Freezes on the main menu and doesn't unfreeze.”
  • optimization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization on PC is stable with good visual scaling, but it shows its age in texture quality and lighting. While players can achieve 1080p at 60 fps with max details, inconsistent frame rates and stuttering issues persist, particularly when using certain graphical settings like FSAA and Vsync. Customization options for bike performance are a positive aspect, but the optimization could be improved, especially for newer hardware.

    • “There's a lot of customization on the bike (performance-wise) which lets you experiment with the game.”
    • “Good game and well optimized.”
    • “On PC, performance is stable, and the visuals scale well across systems, but the game’s age shows in its texture quality and lighting detail.”
    • “Now it can run at 1920x1080 at 60 fps with max details and with the game recorder running, but the frame rate is a little inconsistent and there's a bit of stuttering.”
    • “Performance cap at 30 fps when Vsync is on, unable to override it using the NVIDIA control panel.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the soundtrack while others find it generic and unremarkable. Many users prefer to play without music, focusing instead on the sound of the bikes, which is generally considered decent. Overall, while the music may not enhance the experience significantly, it does not detract from the gameplay.

    • “I like this one better than MotoGP 14, except for the graphics; the controls and physics are okay, kind of heavy while cornering, but it's okay, and hey, it has a good soundtrack!”
    • “There are some good music tracks, and the sound of the bikes doesn't sound bad.”
    • “The sound is good because I usually keep my music on while I play games.”
    • “Zero race music, rubber band AI, and a pretty generic game.”
    • “The sound of engines is okay, but the music is generally lame and worthless. It doesn't seriously damage the game experience, but I thought it was worth mentioning.”
    • “I never play with music, just silence, headphones on, fully focused on the ride.”

    • “Best part is the crash scenes; I have some good laughing sessions with the replay.”
    • “My only main critique of this game is truly the bugs; they can be bothersome (or funny sometimes). On many occasions, the game would simply assume I was cutting a corner even when I was going straight.”
