reigned supreme in this year's unbelievable season, as up-and-comers Loranzo and Bautusta were crowned champions of their classes for the first time. This review brings you the full story, with haw-dropping coverage of each fully-loaded round.In the 250cc class, 19-year old Fortuna Aprilia rider Jorge Lorenzo became the second youngest World Champion ever. Winning a massive eight-times on his way to the title, the final race saw Jorge display some inspirational race-craft, getting into a decent position, maintaining speed and controlling his advantage in the points table right until the chequered flag. Italian Andrea Dovizioso, his main challenger, fought hard to threaten the Majorcan's bid to secure the championship, and although he remained in his slipstream, the point gap held by Jorge was simply too wide for Team Honda to bridge.You won't want to miss a moment from the 125cc, featuring a showcase of racers with the potential to become the next Rossi! Find yourself cornering in your armchair as Alvaro Bautista underlines his status as 125cc World Champion with a dominant performance at Estoril, Portugal. The 21-year old took the lead on lap two and simply rode away from the rest of the field. The advantage of the MVA Aspar Aprilia rider was so strong, that he was able to back off considerably late in the race and still win for the eighth time this year by a huge margin of 10.098 seconds. This victory will see him and runner up Mika Kallio step up a class and enter the 250cc in 2007.Corner after corner, track-side and on-bike cameras will keep you at the heart of the action and on the edge of your seat. So go ahead and immerse yourself in those inevitable spills as the pressure heats up on the circuits and 'the new breed' steal the show.
Advantages: Easy `arcady' controls Disadvantages: Handling feels disonnected from track, bike sounds are rubbish
the bike back under control. In this version the bike feels quite floaty and detached from the track, not as involving to ride. However, it is more arcadey and easier for anyone new to the MotoGP franchise to pick up. It might drag more people into the franchise.
You still have the usual Career, Championship and Time Attack modes. The Career mode is now more involving alowing you to move up through the classes.
The graphics is not all that great. The bikes and riders look good but the actual tracks and scenery are nothing special. I have noticed that there doesn't seem to be the `screen tearing' (or whatever it's called) when the framerate can't keep up with the speed of the game. The frame rate seems good this time.
There is the introduction of the 3 different racing classes... 125cc, 250cc & MotoGP. And you can earn sponsorships ...

Advantages: Sounds, Season Mode Disadvantages: Time to get use to it
MotoGP '06 is a motorcycle racing game exclusively for the Xbox 360, and probably just as well they didn't release it for any other console. This game really is hit and miss, depending on whether you have the patience to become good at it. Its extremely hard to get the hang of at first and can be quite frustrating.
The game on the other hand does have some pretty good graphics and there are also more tracks than the previous versions in this series. This game also incorporates a new Season mode. As well as this there are more bikes, more riders, and even more tracks to fly around.
This game does boast up to 20 player online racing which is great if you do like and get the hang of the game.
