MotoGP 22 is a motorcycle simulation game, developed and published by Milestone SrI and released on April 21, 2022 on PC (Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
MotoGP 22 starts with rider creation. This creation allows you to customize the appearance of the rider, as well as that of his equipment and the motorcycle.
Besides that, it is also possible to customize the riding style of the rider. The game allows you to choose between 7 driving styles, influencing the way the driver takes turns. These piloting styles allow you to modify options such as the placement of the leg, the number of feet at the start as well as the number of fingers used during braking as well as the position taken by the pilot during a turn. The position ranging from the torso fully out of the fairing, the position with the body fully aligned with the motorcycle, or the position where the rider bends over until his elbow touches the ground.
The game offers many game modes including, of course, a career mode, which makes us start at the bottom of the ladder and makes us climb the ladder within a team. The stable will have to be managed. It will therefore be necessary to study the contracts of the various members of staff (engineer, analyst, agent, etc.). It is possible to create a new stable from any hand, or to join an already existing stable attached to a builder.
During the passage of the management of the team, one will be able to develop new technologies and improve his motorcycle, such as the engine and the frame, and, for the more recent motorcycles, the aerodynamics and the electronics. These researches take more or less time depending on the number of technicians, as well as the type of engineer who is assigned to each department and research.
The career mode allows you to play the seasons and evolve through each of them. All phases are playable, such as qualifying, practice, etc. (some can be skipped if you want to focus mainly and directly on the race).
It is also possible to select several types of competitions, such as Moto GP, Moto 2 and 3, as well as Motos 800, 990, 500 and even Moto GP from 2009, allowing you to take control of the greatest riders: Jack Miller, Augusto Fernandez, Michael Doohan, Jaume Masia and many more.
Let's get to the most important thing, driving! Personally, I am not an expert in motorcycle racing or motorcycle simulations, mainly favoring simulations with 4 wheels! However, MotoGP22 offers a wide variety of options and support to allow everyone to play it.
Even neophytes and people absolutely unaccustomed to playing motorcycle simulation games can pick up the game and play it. Of course, it is also conceivable to reduce and even deactivate the various aids and assistances to get as close as possible to a real simulation.
Conclusion
MotoGP 22 is really a good motorcycle racing simulation game. Not being used to motorcycle games, I can't make the comparison with the previous games. However, for me, this game is very good and above all accessible. Whether you are just interested in motorcycles, simulation games or a real fan of motorcycles and motorcycle simulation games, the game offers everyone a way to spend many hours on it and have good feelings of driven!
