MotoGP 09/10 delivers the most definitive game of the MotoGP series yet. For the first time in console racing history, players will be able to compete against 20 players across the globe in an online racing experience.
The robust online mode will give gamers the chance to vote for the circuit, bike class, and number of laps before they take to the track and compete in an online Arcade race or Career mode championship. Once the race comes to an end it's over to the online leaderboards to see where you rank against the rest of the world. Not only will you find competitors' lap times but the option to upload and download racing ghosts and riding lines, which will help you compete against the very best or for those new to the series learn the skills they need to race to the top of the leaderboards.
MotoGP 09/10 will be released in North America on March 16. The official Moto GP 09/10 demo will be released before launch on PSN and XBLA.
MotoGP 09/10 takes the series in an exciting new direction rewarding players for their racing style and skill on the track. Gamers will get all the riders, tracks and teams from the official 2009 MotoGP season AND free downloadable content from the 2010 season as it unfolds. The free update means gamers will be able to play the most up to date MotoGP season content earlier than ever before.
MotoGP 09/10 will feature an all new 'Arcade' mode where players must complete different race challenges before the time runs out.
