I love this game... owned every version since the original plus the demo that came with XBL way back when.... I'm disappointed that I can't customize my bike paint job more... maybe the starter bikes don't let ya  huh.gif

I had a pretty sweet one in motogp 3.... Love the offline almost more than the online... just feels weird to race with The Doc (Rossi) and see him in yellow after racing with him on a Repsol for so long... heck the GO!!!!!! bike threw me in motogp 3....

regretfully I believe so... couldn't really sit and look for it but did notice a bit... also noticed that on a track I set to have rain I had weird lines at the top of the screen ... that went between lap/position and lap/time kinda weird... didn't notice it on a sunny map... I'll try to get a picture if anyone wants...


btw... some of the extreme courses are amazing... I wrecked numerous times the first go round just staring in the distance...  blink.gif

just wish the GP bikes were as stable as the extreme bikes in a powerslide  mad.gif

even if this tore to hell I would still love it

the only time I noticed it in the demo when i wasnt racing very seriously, so I doubt it will bother me

cant wait till I get off work

The screen tearing isnt a be all end all but it is noticable. Can anyone give me some breaking/cornering tips?

using a manual greatly helps you in the corners and try different combinations of front and rear break. rear breaking will turn you fast but make you unstable and slide out, front breaking is what most drivers actually use.

Well in real life I'll tend to use the front hard before a curve which helps in 2 ways.. one slows you down, two preloads your front forks ... if needed I'll use slight rear brakes in a curve as trailing brakes... not much or you'll lowside ... now I haven't been able to do this since motogp 2 because for some reason the be all brake (default X button) makes your rider lean more (in essence get off the bike more, always better for you to lean more than the bike.. if a peg would catch you'd be in trouble.. often a big mistake in young riders) so with motogp 3 and now 06 I've used the X button more and more... also mastering the powerslide can be a big advantage it helps to shoot your outta the turns...  

please note most of this is from real life riding... in reality if you ever hit a track day they will teach you to corner with out touching the brake... just by your gearing... so that's why manuals tend to have an advantage... but they do take practice...

let me know on the best buy, i was going to hit that on my way home from work

I personally use the joystick for acc/braking then click them in for gear shifting, ever since I gave that a shot I havent been able to do it any other way. If you havent tried it I suggest you give it a shot. As far as live goes the manual racers generally always beat an automatic if they have any idea what they are doing.

I really want this game but I think I want a DS Lite more. Can't afford bot this month. Too many bills and I pissed a lot of money up the wall.  sad.gif
