GAME OF THE MONTH
MotoGP 22
It’s rare that TGventures into the confusing world of trying to prevent a 250 horsepower motorcycle from shooting out between your legs. With MotoGP22we thought it was worth the effort because of the game’s answer to a knotty problem: if you’re trying to flog MotoGPgames, what do you do when the most popular motorcycle racer in history retires? MotoGP22’s solution is just to include an additional season. One that Valentino Rossi competed in. Playable documentary ‘Nine’ allows you to relive pivotal moments from a four-way battle for the 2009 title. With 50 minutes of footage it’s remarkably involving, although with events replayed from multiple perspectives it can drag a little. This is especially true if you keep crashing. MotoGP22is a proper hairy chested simulation and with the ‘joint brake’ option removed your finger and thumb will be performing a miniature version of Riverdance just to slow the bike down. Fun, but not for the faint of heart.
