MotoGP 20

The curves come at you fast, but if you get into a rhythm you can unlock a rewarding racing experience.

MotoGP 20 is unquestionably a good, solid racing game made by a passionate team. When you're weaving through a track at breakneck speeds, slowly mastering the tough but engaging handling, it can be great fun. The problem is an unapproachable first few hours; little to no guidance will easily put some new players off. However, if you can get past that initial bump in the road, there's a robust and challenging racer waiting to be conquered.

The MotoGP series has been a bit of a mixed bag over the years, but with MotoGP 20 Milestone is finally beginning to realise its vision for a full-bodied racing simulation. The considerable Career mode offers a deep management experience, while the introduction of Historic Mode adds a fun way to earn rewards for daily challenges. But it's the changes to on-track performance and the deeper bike mechanics that make this a truly realistic, if not particularly penetrable, experience.

Admittedly, I am starting to suffer Milestone motorbike game fatigue. It has affected some of the initial excitement I had for MotoGP 20, but I cannot deny that my time spent was mighty fine.

MotoGP 20 adds an underlying layer of improvement to what made last year's title so impressive.

MotoGP 20 is a fine title to play on the Nintendo Switch for those who are itching to jump into a digital bike racer. However, MotoGP 20 suffers from the same old troubles that this may only appeal to the hardcore fans who watch the sport religiously as it is. However for those who haven't dabbled in MotoGP 20 up until this point, it's unlikely that this year's iteration is going to move the dial or sway opinions. But for those who do decide to jump into this title, there is a steep learning curve - but once it's overcome, this title can provide plenty of hours of fun, despite some of the visual hurdles and lack of local competitive racing or online modes.

The strength of the annual MotoGP version is the renewed Career mode. Compared to previous editions, this year it is reinvented and improved, giving you the opportunity to create your own customized team from scratch, to be able to work alongside an official team.

A hit or miss racing sim. Great at what it needs to be, but takes a few hits in some areas. Deal breakers for some but not others.

MotoGP 20 is a great racing game with solid physics and nice selection of game modes. Unfortunately its carrier mode feels bland and sounds of the motorcycles are questionable. On the other hand, most of the game's flaws are small and can be easily overlooked if you are a fan of this type of racing.

We cannot expect major progress and evolution in titles that release annually. However, I have two suggestions for those who seek to buy this game. Firstly, if you have the previous title, MotoGP 19, this game has nothing new to offer you and you do not need to purchase it. Secondly, MotoGP20 is a professional simulator game, and is not recommended to those who lack motorcycling knowledge
