First Impression Review

So I have a couple of hours under my belt in this new instalment and figured it's time to give you guys some feedback. I will update this later after a couple of full seasons.

Is this game fun? Yeah I would say so. If you like Motogp then it does what it needs to (just).

Is it much of an upgrade to Motogp 14? Nope, not really. Cosmetics and small tweaks only (so far).

Should the die-hard Motogp fans buy it? Absolutely, it has a nice feel to it and obviously it is updated with this seasons riders and such. It is still very much lacking in features that other driving sims have, hell even other sport games. But for the motogp series, it is slowly getting better...very slowly though.

Should casual players buy it? That depends on if they have any previous instalments of the game. If they have 2014 I would say no, wait for next year. It is another of those games that only get small adjustments each year so just buy every other one or grab it on a 50% sale later in the year. I do not honestly think It is worth shelling out all that cash each year for a casual player on a game that always seems much like it could just be a DLC to the previous year.

Pro's

The bikes seem to be a little bit more responsive this year in cornering(motogp at least), it is fun to leave some black lines out of corners and pull wheelies on the moto3 bikes. Nothing you would really notice unless you have played motogp 14 within the last couple of days but it is there.

Slight wind wobble on the camera at high speeds, that seems to have been updated for this year and gives it a more realistic feel.

Custom bikes in career mode. It's not all singing and all dancing but it's about time we got this feature.

Seeing dry lines appear towards the end of a drying out qualifying session is nice. Yeah it may be 2015 and this should not be a surprise in this day and age but it still gave me a little lip curl.

Con's

The AI seem to fall off very easily if you bump them. I have noticed this while giving the game a try on medium AI so I will update this a little more when I try out the pro settings a little later.

It really isn't the best racing sim out there, it's more aimed at giving the motogp gearheads their fix for the year and making milestone some money. The same company also make Ride and the MXGP games and they are all pretty poor bike sims so dont get your hopes up for an amazing game.

My rider looks way too shiny in the wet. Graphics wise this game is still pretty poor, I don't see much of a difference on last years edition and some tracks look pretty empty.

Some strange sound effects... like crashing for instance, it just doesnt sound like it should.

All in all, Milestone need a good kick in the butt. Motogp still doesn't have a brilliant game like it should. If you like Motogp you will enjoy playing this game. It is not total crap like some would say but it is not much of an improvement on last year, just as last year was not much better than 2013. For me, it feeds my need for bike racing and as I said before, if you are a casual player, just buy it on a sale or every other year.

For what this game is, i would say 8/10 this year. Milestone need to try harder next year though.
Judged against other racing sims, pfft 6/10

I will recommend for now
