MotoGP '06 on Xbox 360

I have lots of Xbox 360 game... well "lots" is a strong word, but I do have about a dozen games. I have some of the best games on the system including Oblivion, Lost Planet, Crackdown (ok I got that one for the Halo 3 beta), Dead Rising, Gears of War, Ghost Recon AW, Test Drive... well you get the picture.

The game I keep coming back to though... over and over again... is MotoGP '06. I guess that makes me a motorcycle nut, so what else is new? The thing is... even with its flaws (like dropping framerate in the middle of the race) this is a DAMN good racing game. I also love it when I talk to people and they tell me how they've tried to play it but it's too hard and they keep crashing. This makes me feel good inside. The reason for this is not that I don't want to play this game (on the contrary I want more people to play it) but because it proves how good the game is. A bit like riding a real bike... it requires feeling. This means that if you don't pay attention to the way the bike is responding to the way you are taking corners... well your going to end up on your arse. Thats just the way it is in motorcycle racing, one mistake and you crash. This is part of what makes it so exciting to watch.

Well time to get back to racing! Tongue
