GP4
Let’s
face it, there just aren’t enough motorcycle racing games out there.
Usually gamers are left to zip around in cars, trucks, go karts,
and just about any other possible machine with wheels and an engine on
it, yet only a handful of companies out there said to themselves,
“Hey, there’s these contraptions with two wheels that require good
balance to operate, and go really fast.
They’re called ‘motorcycles’. Let’s make a game featuring
them!” As one of the few
publishers to make an effort to bring out bike racing games on a regular
basis, Namco is about to do it once again with Moto GP4 this summer
on the PlayStation 2.
As is often the case when bringing out a racing game sequel, Namco is following the “More! More! More!” philosophy of game design, as they include 16 GP tracks plus three bonus tracks, a small army of pro racers including legendary racers of the passed, and a ton of |

bikes.
Another interesting facet of the game will be that it will
include an online mode that supports up to eight players, so people can
compete against one another.
The
Moto GP series has been well-received over the years from race fans with
a fondness for bikes. With
Namco consistently improving on the series with each new installment,
hopefully this fourth edition will continue the trend, keeping those
interested in the genre happy for quite some time.
