Yes, MotoGP 2018 is only an update with some editing of its previous edition. But the job is well done on the important points that matters ; driving sensations, adjustable realism at all levels, and comprehensive content regarding the real MotoGP and its virtual transposition. This is as much at the level of the circuits as of the machines and the pilots. We can regret the lack of competition that has probably confined a bit to Milestone laziness. There is still a lot of room for improvements. But if you like the MotoGP, you will not be disappointed by this game that does the job correctly.

We must say that this year, MotoGP 18 loved it. It's true, maybe we are not in front of a perfect title, maybe something is still missing to reach that goal, yet it has all the credentials to be considered satisfactory. The driving model has definitely improved, works well, respects the laws of physics and gives us fantastic gameplay. The contents are really good, wide and varied and personalization is at the top. Of course, you can still do a lot, you can improve an AI that turns out to be little care, you can refine the facial models, expressions and similarities and you can still dare to the level of graphics. But in general we are there, a title that you can not miss if you are a fan of the World Championship!

MotoGP 2018 is merely an update of last year's game, rather than the groundbreaking renewal of the franchise Milestone claims it is. While the job is well done on the important points of the game, it's not enough to really feel like a different game, but fans will not be disappointed.

After some years in the shadows, the official MotoGP game is back in pole position.

MotoGP 18 is a great racing game, powered by Unreal Engine 4, with all the bikes, teams and tracks of the official Championship. Milestone delivers an incredible racing experience.

MotoGP 18 is impressive, as all of Milestone's games are, but that doesn't always translate to fun for general audiences. This title is a must have for serious Grand Prix fans, but lay people like me it comes off as overwhelming with a tedious learning curve.

Milestone delivers great bike simulation, but it doesn´t show much improvement from previous entries, even with a new graphic engine. Despite of the official licenses (pilots, teams, bikes and tracks) we still miss some details and new game modes.

MotoGP 18 is a clear step forward from its predecessor with the previously used proprietary engine already looking dated.

Whilst MotoGP 18 represents a step in the right direction for Milestone and this series there's still work to be done for things to reach the next level.

One step forward, two steps back. The MotoGP license have been developed with the Unreal Engine 4 for the first time with few notable improvements, but with the absence of previous modalities for a fairly limited offer.

MotoGP 18 is the official game of the sport yet despite an extensive career mode and an overhauled engine, developer Milestone has only iterated rather than innovated.

It's an improvement on the previous iteration, even if only visually. Aside from that, it feels like the same game but ever so slightly improved. That's the real shame, the jump from Milestone's ageing engine to Unreal had a lot of potential. Considering everything, do I recommend MotoGP 18? If you want a motorbike racing game now, then go for it. If not, you may be better waiting for Ride 3.

This is a good first step for the series which is in the dire need of a reboot, but it still manages to falter with its essential gameplay mechanics and lacks in a presentation that is easy to see if you have played a lot of racing games. Nonetheless, this is still a fun racing game that should satisfy the fans of the series, but it is hard not to express disappointment over the potential even when the shift to Unreal Engine is a big one.

There are some good things Milestone has done with MotoGP18. The controls are fun and realistic and I really enjoyed the career. But in whole, it doesn't feel much different from previous iterations. Still, it's a good choice for fans of MotoGP

MotoGP 18 is a competent sequel that improved both graphics and physics. It's just a bit of a shame it lacks content. If you've played the previous entries, feel free to ignore this one and wait for MotoGP 19. If this would be your first motorsport video game, you won't choose wrong,

Bike games always seem to get the short end of the stick and MotoGP 18 isn't going to help that cause. It might be a build up towards a better tomorrow, but for now you'll have to deal with a finish out of the points.

MotoGP 18 offers huge content through singleplayer and multiplayer with a new engine, better graphics, bikes and tracks that looks the most colorful, yet the style of gameplay can not combine realism and excitement at the same time and any player will have to make countless mistakes in each race before he can improve his skills slightly

It's probably better to think of Milestone's latest release less in terms of a video game and more in terms of a product designed for MotoGP enthusiasts. It's stuffed to the brim with Moto Grand Prix-related details like racers, tracks, and commentary, and includes plenty of different options that riders can use to tweak their bikes and chase a podium finish. With that said, MotoGP 18 simply feels less thrilling than it should, mostly due to its underwhelming graphics, spartan presentation, and monotonous gameplay.

This isn't for racing novices; the aids take away the challenge but turning them off makes things brutally realistic.

MotoGP 2018 is something only avid fans of the genre should check out. Although there are some improvements to presentation, problems with the murky colour tone palette persist, on top of irritating texture resolution issues with the racing scenery. If sticking to time attack, hardcore bike fans looking for realism may be able to scratch their itch here. However, put other drivers on the track and the illusion quickly shatters. The AI just isn't dynamic or reactive enough. For those taking things less seriously, this will be less of an issue but, either way, it's not very much fun being in their company. It is nice being able run your own 2018 season in tandem with the real thing, but the Career Mode is nothing special. Even if the online mode and the eSport Championship function well enough, the lacklustre collision detection will hinder that side of the experience, too. This is flawed and rushed.
