Capcom just announced that MotoGP ’08 for the Wii ships next Tuesday, March 24. According to the little blurb we received with the release information, you can look forward to controlling the motorcycles in the game with the Wii remote -- just like ExciteTrucks, except without trucks and the make-believe physics.
Way back in the day, I’m guessing around 2002, I played the hell out of MotoGP because a demo of the game came packaged with the first Xbox Live Starter Kit. Whenever I started losing a race (never took long) I would turn my bike around and begin driving backwards on the track. The collisions with the winning racers were awesome to behold, but the best part was hearing the racers’ screams of fury because I just tossed their chance of placing well.
I guess, in a small way, I shaped the landscape of grieving on Xbox Live. Thanks, MotoGP. I’ll never forget you.
Anyway, in addition to crazy controls, you can look forward to all the staples of MotoGP including a variety of bike classes to choose from, a deep campaign mode, and tarmac based on real tarmac. (Indianapolis was added this year. Go Indiana!)

Also its so clear thats a MotoGP for 360 but put through photoshop. You guys that gullible? Sheesh.
I'm sure that the picture is 100% authentic.
Now, excuse me while I wipe the sarcasm off my keyboard.

Hamza wins again (as usual.)
This also has nothing to do with the rather crappy MotoGP games currently out for PC and other current-gen consoles. Those are developed by Milestone.
This game also has no relation to the earlier PS2 MotoGP games (up to MotoGP 4) which were developed by Namco.
It probably has relation to the last PS2 MotoGP game which was developed by Capcom like this one.
Yeah it's a mess anda all the games are named MotoGP-something. MotoGP fans have it bad...
