Easter GP

Handheld motorcyclists rejoice

THQ's oft-confused MotoGP is due to launch on GameBoy Advance in time for Easter. Described as "the ultimate evolution of motorcycle racing" by THQ, it has some promising features, and from what we've seen of the game in action some decent Road Rage-style gameplay. The game will feature 16 real circuits and a bonus hidden track, each populated with aggressive AI-controlled racers. Each race will be quite different thanks to the real-time weather effects and other as-yet unconfirmed features according to THQ. Of course, the MotoGP license from DORNA will mean all the real riders, circuits and motorcycle visuals, although we wonder how detailed you can get on a 240x160 screen… Related Feature - MotoGP screenshots
