Milestone's iconic MotoGP series is back with more breakneck racing, a callback to one of the sport's most memorable seasons and a couple of new entry points for newcomers to superbike racing. The core of MotoGP 22 is, of course, all the new content of the 2022 season. That includes upwards of 120 riders, over 20 official circuits and meticulous attention to detail that will make the game as close to the real thing as possible. There are more that 70 historical championships to play through, but in a twist on the 'classics' formula, Milestone has done a deep dive on the iconic 2009 season. Each grand prix of the season gets its own chapter, with players able to live out the circuit in the saddles of legends like Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner and Pedrosa. It's bolstered with nearly an hour of real footage at the beginning of each chapter and narration and direction from Mark Neale, the director of many of the best MotoGP documentaries. For newcomers, Milestone has complemented the MotoGP Academy with shorter, sharper tutorials to get you straight into the action. Another way Milestone might tempt in new players is with split-screen multiplayer, which makes its series debut in MotoGP 22. On top of all of that, five graphics editors give you unprecedented control over visuals such as liveries and rider suits, while the managerial mode returns for players wanting to get to grips with every last element of the MotoGP season.
