MotoGP17: No victory lap for this one

A rehashed version of its 2015 edition, it comes with poor graphics and a disappointing gameplay

MotoGP events are a treat to watch, be it on TV or from the stands. It’s exhilarating, fast-paced, and a visual and aural treat. And the videogame version of the sport aims to invoke the same feeling. 

Much like most sports-based videogames, the Milestone-developed MotoGP series is an annual affair and I had the opportunity to test out its latest, the MotoGP 17.

The game can be seen as a sequel to its 2015 edition, as the one released in 2016, Valentino Rossi: The Game, focussed more on Rossi’s career than the sporting event. The game garnered a substantial amount of popularity.
