As a package MotoGP 09/10 is a game that splits me straight down the middle. As a biker I'm disappointed that a racing game built around MotoGP doesn't do more to replicate how a motorbike feels, but as a gamer I can appreciate what it offers in terms of an enjoyable gameplay experience. If you give it a chance, and wait for the fast style to sink in, then you'll be blasting around Donnington and Assen at breakneck speeds, braking far later than you'd ever do in reality. The jump up from 250cc to 800cc also makes a massive difference as you'll have far less time to think about what you're doing - and rightly so. Plus with Capcom promising free DLC that'll include the 2010 season livery data, the new 600cc Moto2 class and both the new Silverstone Arena and Balatonring, the scope for getting your knee down with new riders, tracks and bikes is very appealing. So, if you're looking for the ultimate simulation experience then hold out to see whether Milestone does any better with SBK X. But if accurate racing physics isn't your thing - and you want an accessible racer that isn't one hundred per cent arcade - then 09/10 offers a solid and compelling MotoGP experience. Just be sure to turn the commentary off.

As a rider, huge Moto GP enthusiast and fan of the game until a few years ago, I have to say this series has steadily declined year after year since 06. I couldn't put it down back then. I bought last years and couldn't pick it up!

First off the sound is horrible. If you have ever ridden a sport bike, or been to a Moto GP race, you realize how bad and off the sound really is. Its way too low pitched and weak sounding.

The handling? Well the Moto GP bikes feel way too sluggish, heavy, and unresponsive in the demo. I came out of a turn full throttle and the bike never got loose in the back one time. Having to use a button to tuck is a nuisance.

I don't know, I may buy since it is $50 and I like the play the season as it unfolds idea, but I still think it has a long way to go to get back as good as it used to be.

It's unfortunate that the extreme mode remains scrapped as well.
