Game Description:
The development team’s overriding aimis to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access pointsfor gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide achallenge to meet each player’s abilities.

ALL 3 MOTOGP CLASSES
MotoGPfor Wii puts the player at the centre of the world’s premiermotorcycling championship by letting them join a team and competealongside their sporting heroes in all three race classes – 125cc,250cc and MotoGP. Recent MotoGP titles had excluded 125cc and 250cc ata cost and Capcom is keen to ensure that all the riders are faithfullyrepresented, which also enables complete progression through the ranksas well as giving the gamer a different racing experience per class.The game features a scaled and competitive AI which adjusts withinlimits to give a more enjoyable race experience on the lower levels butshows no mercy in the higher levels.

TUTORIAL MODE
Thisallows the player to decide what motorcycle and racing style suits thembest. But rather than the tutorial mode taking players ‘out of the maingame’, this mode will transport them immediately into an arcade raceand offers hints and tips from the beginning. By pressing START playerscan pause the game, allowing them to test out and alter the racingmodel (from ‘Arcade’ to ‘Advanced’ or ‘Simulation’), changetransmission options or leave the tutorial mode entirely. Players canalso choose the option to automatically see live tips whilst playing,where the game will judge riding style and offer help and advice whereneeded.

MAIN MODES
Career mode – Players getto create their own rider (in previous MotoGP titles you’ve only beenable to select an existing rider of the MotoGP event) and develop theirracing skills for up to 5 seasons with the aim of becoming the ultimateMotoGP champion. Choosing a team and bike class at the beginning ofeach season, riders can make customisations through a selection of bikehelmet designs that unlock as players progress. As races are won,stronger teams will be looking to recruit for the following season,enabling players to race better performing bikes. As progress is madeplayers will also be able to access certain bike upgrades which improvethe rider’s performance across a range of parameters such as straightline speed, acceleration, braking and cornering.

Quick race –Players can choose their favourite track, rider, difficulty level, bikeclass, riding model, transmission type, number of laps and weatherconditions and go race.

Time Attack – set the best time at eachcircuit, competing against yourself to shave vital seconds off yourpersonal record. Select the circuit and rider and off you go. Playersdecide whether they want a ghost rider to compete against, improvingwhere they can to beat their previous lap times.

Championship –Select any class, rider and team and compete in and re-create an entireseason. Practice and qualifying modes are optional whilst the weatherconditions, difficulty setting, number of laps and handling model canalso be decided, allowing players to shape their own season. Beforeeach race players can tweak the set-up of their bike, includingchanging tyres, suspension settings and gear ratios. During thechampionship rider standings can be checked to see where players rankand view individual performance statistics for the real aficionados. Ifplayers are still not happy with their own performance the practiceracing circuit can be tried out alone (solo) in free practice mode.
