MotoGP to debut on PSP

By Paul Loughrey Published 12 May, 2006

Don't forget your helmet.

Namco's virtual alternative to the high speed thrills of professional motor racing is heading to the PSP, with Sony confirming the release of a new MotoGP game specifically designed for the handheld.

It's currently being developed by the same team which brought MotoGP to the PS2 and Ridge Racer to the PSP, but Sony has yet to confirm an official release date for the game.

Fans of the sport should recognise the names of Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau - just two of the pros you can test your skills against in the new one-on-one racing mode. There are real life tracks, too, although Sony hasn't said which one yet. You can also expect a full championship season to get your teeth into and assorted wi-fi multiplayer modes for up to eight players. Hooray for m0t0rb1kes!

    >>It'll be interesting to see what Namco can do with a PS3 and the MotoGp licence.

    As for Namco Making a decent motogp game you guys are joking right!.
    If any you guys played motogp games on the PS2 you would know Climax's MotoGP game is way better.

    Would be cool to have decent motogp game on PsP but dont think it gonna happen.
    unless some one brings out a xbox emulator for it lol.
    PsP got just about everything else on emulator.
    All you Peps out there with 1.5s will be playing super hang on lol until this comes out lol.

    I prefer the Xbox game too, not least because Namco usually use out of date season data on the PS2 - is this gonna be the case in the psp version to?
