![]() ![]() Oh, did I mention the awesome replay mode? It's hands down the best I've seen since I first laid eyes on Gran Turismo. Namco has yet again brought out a topnotch racer that will immediately establish itself as one of the best in the first generation of PS2 software (which is growing more impressive by the minute). As I played it a crowd would gather to watch, which is a rarity around here (or maybe I'm just that good). In fact, the graphics are the strongest point of this game. Little graphic extras like the sparks from a peg meeting the ground in a turn to the flowing locks of some of the riders as they scream down the straights really bring the package together nicely. ![]() Whether you have Sim turned on or off, you'll have to let off the throttle and allow your rider to pop-up before each turn, then ease on the gas (thanks to excellent use of the analog buttons on the DS2) and lean hard into the turn. Though the learning curve is a little steep, once you get the hang of the bikes in MotoGP you'll have a hard time going back to anything else. There have been some good arcade versions, but nothing sim fanatics could really sink their teeth into. True superbike racing has never been represented all that well on a home console.
