anyways.. I hear that you can actually move the rider independent of the of the bike in MotoGP3. You can also use the rear brakes! My wife is picking it up for me today.... I can't wait until I get home! :D

wife got me a copy yesterday. It's pretty good. Has all the riders from last year. The fourstrokes sound pretty ruthless. It's freaking loud compared to the 500s. Some of the challenges are pretty cool. The rear brake really does help control some of the slides and you can prevent yourself from highsiding to the moon by applying the rear brakes. The cockpit view is almost impossible. I tried it for a while then got frustrated so I switched back to the default view.

I'm in Columbia, MO.  Checked Circuit City and Toys-R-Us at lunch and it wasn't in.  I'll check Electronics Boutique after work (as much as I despise the mall, eww....).

I bought a copy last night, it was shipped yesterday.

The multiplayer mode is fun, as 4 players can link up and enter the same race and race against each other and the computer components.

The best part about this game is you can switch to 16:9 aspect ratio, so it plays great on our wide screen projection tv  ;D

I don't quite like the controls, where you have to choose a brake/throttle combination, none of which I liked. I always set the brake and throttle to different hands in other games, and it kinda sucks that I can't do the same here.

Wish it was as complex as WSB game for the PC, you know, with settings and qualifying and stuff.  but this was an arcade game, and it is to be more fun than simulation. Overall I am really happy with it, I think I will have hours of fun by myself, or with a few friends. But the wait for a real racing sim still continues...

R6_Philly... MotoGP2 had the 16:9 option as well. It does indeed look good on my widescreen  ;D

I suppose you're right. Ever tried talking to some of these cutoms guys? It's an exercise in futility my furry friend. Besides, you can never get passed Mauricio who answers the phone anyway. :)

Don't rub it in.  I had to take two showers when I got home to get rid of the smell of plastic commerce.   :P
