Brand new engine and a good balance between simulation and arcade. It might not sport great looks, but as a motorbike simulation MotoGP 14 has what it takes to involve fans.

MotoGP is a very convincing, good game. Racing feels awesome, the game is super detailed and very challenging. It might be too challenging though, plus the fact that motor racing is not for every gamer. Props for the licensing, because it is great to race with the actual racers instead of John Does.

MotoGP 14 delivers exciting, challenging and surprisingly deep motorcycle racing action. It's audio-visuals feel disappointingly last-generation, however.

Sets a respectable pace for two-wheeled racing on the new gen. That said, the graphical horsepower of the PS4 is still underutilised. [September 2014, p78]

Being fairly new to racing on two wheels, I wasn’t sure how I would take to MotoGP, but found that it quite quickly grew on me as I became more familiar with the handling and physics of the incredibly powerful bikes, by way of the career mode and the wide selection of bikes and classes to work through. However, it’s let down by certain graphical limitations and a general lack of polish to the presentation.

Playing MotoGP 14 in a nextgen console only emphasizes the feeling of playing an outdated game with low detailed textures and confusing physics.
