MotoGP 09/10

MotoGP 09/10 is a racing video game, part of the MotoGP series. It is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Gameplay

Career mode
MotoGP 09/10 features 4 modes with the first of them being Career Mode. Players take control of their career on and off of the track competing in races and hiring engineers, team managers and press officers to help further their career as a pro and ultimately win the MotoGP World Championship. Demonstrating their riding skills on the track through overtaking, slip-streaming and showboating will be rewarded with Rider Reputation points. Pushing too hard can be detrimental as collisions and crashes will reduce the reputation bonus at the end of each race. The more rider reputation points players earn, the more attractive they become to other manufacturers, sponsors, and employees. The player's team will also research upgrades for an existing bike to increase its performance. As players start off at the 125cc they can upgrade their team into the 250cc/Moto2 series and then ultimately into the MotoGP series. Career Mode has a limitless number of years allowing players to continue career mode indefinitely.

Championship mode
Players can race in 125cc, 250cc/Moto2 and MotoGP championships from the 2009 and 2010 seasons as it unfolds. The realistic AI will emulate true racing pack with different riding styles and pace making this a challenging mode for all GP fans.

Arcade
Players must show off their skill to stay in the race as they compete to finish a whole season in 125, 250/Moto2 or MotoGP class before running out of time. Each lap, clean section, overtake and top speed reached will reward players with more time but crashing off the track or getting overtaken will cause time to be deducted from the player's total and the chances of living the MotoGP dream will be over.

Online
Compete against other riders across the globe, in online multiplayer mode.  There can be up to 20 bikes in a race.
