MotoGP 2016 – Valentino Rossi The Game

Summary

Valentino Rossi: The Game is a valiant attempt to shake up the tried and tested MotoGP game formula and a shining example of how to utilise a license in its tribute to the man himself. The sheer breadth of fan-pleasing content makes it the most complete MotoGP game yet. Milestone has crammed in so much content, in fact, that Valentino Rossi: The Game feels like a best of compilation of Milestone’s MotoGP, MXGP and Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO. Ultimately however, the plethora of content weighs the game down. Had Milestone concentrated on improving some of MotoGP’s longstanding flaws such as the subpar sound, uninspiring visuals and insipid racing action, Valentino Rossi: The Game would have been a leaner, but better, more focussed game. It’s a jack of all trades and master of none.
