MotoGP '07
Nov 10, 2007 19 years ago
MotoGP '07 features complete rider and team data, new 800cc MotoGP bikes and all 18 circuit of the 2007 MotoGP season. The title also features interactive track-side crowds, on-line tournament features, on-line "pink slip" racing, and a revamped Extreme mode. The revamped Extreme mode allows for over one million possible bike customizations. In addition, minor gameplay changes have been made to the handling and braking to allow for easier player accessibility. Changes to acceleration and deceleration have been made to add to the realism which will make turns easier to navigate through. Slight fishtailing with hard braking has been put in to give a better feel for the handling of the bike and to let the player know how effective their braking is.
What it’s like
MotoGP '07 delivers a visceral, high-fidelity motorcycle racing experience that prioritizes mechanical authenticity over arcade flair. The core appeal lies in its robust simulation layer: players manage independent front and rear braking, navigate realistic acceleration curves, and feel the physical feedback of bike handling through subtle fishtailing and weight transfer. Visually, the game captures the intensity of the 2007 season with accurate rider data, authentic 800cc machinery, and immersive track-side crowds that enhance the sense of speed. The audio design is particularly striking, translating engine roar and tire squeal into a tense, atmospheric soundscape that defines the mood. While exploration is limited to the official Grand Prix circuits, the depth comes from customization; the Extreme mode offers over a million tuning possibilities, allowing players to fine-tune performance for specific tracks. Multiplayer options, including online tournaments and competitive 'pink slip' races, extend longevity, though the steep learning curve means this title rewards patience and technical mastery rather than casual play.
