Features
editThe game features all the official riders, tracks, teams and bikes of the 2007 MotoGP season, including the Ilmor Ilmor SRT. The game allows the player to race in 5 game modes: Quick Race, Time Attack, Championship, Challenges and Multiplayer in a variety of difficulties and weather conditions.
According to the publisher the game offers challenging weather effects, accurate physics models based on real data and sound effects recorded from real MotoGP bikes.
In 2007 Capcom purchased the "PlayStation format rights" for MotoGP previously owned by Namco through 2012. The Xbox 360 and PC format rights belong to THQ. Though the PS2 and the Xbox 360/PC games have the same title and are based on the 2007 MotoGP season the games are not related.
In 2013, Milestone returned to making the MotoGP game in their own right, a pattern which continues to this day.
