Anyone else here read Official Xbox Magazine? How the hell can they justify giving this game a 7.9? I can't believe this. I've never seen anything like this from them. Did someone at THQ p!ss them off? Compared to the other reviews, this seems like a low blow.
Previous reviews from OXM:
Wreckless 9.1
Project Gotham 9.0
F1 2001 8.7
Rallisport 8.6
Nascar Heat 8.2
Spy Hunter 8.1
Burnout(crappy PS2 port game) 8.0
The only 2 games on that list that even come close to the experience of MotoGp are Rallisport and Project Gotham. How could the editors let something like this happen? Gamers look to these guys for insight. Where they playing the same game as us or what?
Electronic Gaming Monthly on the other hand got it right, they gave MotoGp EGM Silver Award scoring it 9.0, 8.5, 8.5 by 3 reviewers.
I don't know maybe there was a typing error or something. Nothing else can explain this. I mean the review wasn't even bad, they complained mostly about the lack of realism in the crashes and the "whimpy bike sounds". They had no real issues with the game otherwise. Somebody blew it (Rob Smolka) and I just hope that people try this game and let it speak for itself instead of using that offensively low score from OXM as their guide.
