MotoGP (2000 video game)
MotoGP is the first of Namco's 5 game series for PlayStation, with 1 to 4 on PS2 and 5 'MotoGP' on PSP. It is based on the arcade game "500GP". There is no mention of what season it represents (if any) on the box but by the inclusion of the Muz 500 bike and the Paul Ricard track it can be deduced that at least contains some of the 1999 season - albeit with a much reduced bike/team/rider/track list. Later games in the series went on to fill out the gaps and became  more of a true representation of the season/s they covered. This first installment is also notable for the inclusion of Klonoa, a character from another series Namco made, appears as a special playable guest character. Reception. The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, "Famitsu" gave it a score of 35 out of 40. David Chen of "NextGen" said: "It's fast and in-depth enough to satisfy the armchair 500cc-class racer, but it certainly doesn't fit the bill of 'fun for the whole gang.'"
