MotoGP 22 Reviews
MotoGP 22 might just look like another yearly (albeit competent) outing in Milestone’s long-running motorbike racing series, but the addition of the Nine Season 2009 mode, a jaw-dropping retelling and recreation of what’s considered the best season in bike racing history, makes it not only stand out from its peers and predecessors, but also turn it into an actual must-have for racing game enthusiasts.
MotoGP 22 accomplishes an incredible simulation in terms of playability, and only a few games will be able to replicate the authentic sense that we had when playing the game. However, several key things are lacking to make us thrilled with this year's edition. There's hardly any doubt that the series has reached a decent level; however, this year's improvements over the previous versions are still insufficient to consider this release a landmark.
MotoGP 22 is one of the best motorcycle simulators on the market, a game that we recommend for motorcycling enthusiasts.

MotoGP 22 is a passable step forward for MotoGP fans, with ‘Nine: Season 2009’ being the absolute highlight of the package and almost reason enough to pick it up. Most longstanding fans of the series will undoubtedly fork out for this one, but I am not sure I can recommend it to anyone that already dabbled in the brilliant MotoGP 21.
A documentary format worth expanding and repeating, more assists, and the same rough but rewarding racing.
After a lazy episode last year, MotoGP 22 is back in great shape.

Despite improving in some key aspects, MotoGP 22 still needs a better IA and could be more pleasing to the eye with its graphics. The Nine Seasons mode is a compelling one, still, and the game is recommended for all MotoGP fans.

Although Milestone has cobbled together three similar games in a short period of time, there's no doubt that MotoGP 22 is the unchallenged number one. The game shines both on and off the track, especially the deep career mode and the successful story part based on the 2009 MotoGP season. Hesitant computer opponents, some lack of variety and dreary soundstage lower the experience a bit, but in the end the glorious driving feel wins.

MotoGP 22 is a good game, but it lacks new stuff, and the visuals are starting to feel quite old. The only highligh is the Nine mode that letf you play the 09 season in a narrative way, kind of like an interactive Netflix series.

MotoGP 22 is better than several of its predecessors, but leaves most of its potential wasted.
There is not much new content, but you will enjoy it. Because of the NINE modes, every penny spent on this game is an excellent investment. It's hard to find a better motorcycle game.

But for us more experienced players or motorcycle enthusiasts MotoGP 22 sadly plays it too safe, with sterile, flat textured race tracks and very little variation between the different motorcycles, there just isn’t a lot to offer for those who aren’t massive fans of MotoGP as a sport that other motorcycle simulators already do, and in most cases better.
It will not come as a surprise that I was left feeling disappointed by MotoGP 22 and I expect the same will be said by many players who have decided to give the world of Mot GP an attempt.
MotoGP 22 is a faithful and challenging entry in the two-wheeler series, though it may not convert those put off by its gruelling difficulty spike.
While I understand that motorcycle racing in many areas of the world is still considered a niche sport, instead of sitting idly by and accepting that, Milestone is looking to change that by offering an excellent tutorial system to make the sport a bit more accessible through its licensed game. MotoGP 22 offers so much to the racing fan in terms of a deep career mode, the ability to relive some of the sport's history, a solid online suite of options, and the ability to create some fantastic logos and graphics with a powerful customization creator. MotoGP 22 is a title that should be in every racing fan's rotation of games, and it is finally a great year to make the leap for those who have been reluctant due to a lack of knowledge of the sport.
MotoGP 22 has everything and more to be the best game in the motorcycle world championship. It is continuous with its previous version, but since this one was already very good, it has been able to improve and polish the gameplay, giving a much better experience when we are in command of a 250 hp motorcycle. It has some sections to polish, such as the graphics of the circuits or the online mode, but nothing that can't be improved without patches to give the game a 10 that it deserves to be. Even so, it is 100% recommended for fans of 2 wheels and for fans of racing in general.
