When you last played a game with motorcycles? I am not speaking here to FPS or RPG fans for whom there aren’t racing simulators. There are still passionate about racing on two wheels, incredible speed and balance achieved by the pilot. Simulation on PC or console experience is as relative as a Formula 1 racing game. But there had to be designed also games for those who watch for the two motorcycle racing championships. Thus, over time two series of motorcycles games have won, being launched almost every year a title that reflects changes in the championships.
Moto Grand Prix and Superbike World Championship, these two motorcycle racing championships, differ fundamentally. Road Racing Championship Grand Prix includes three distinct classes, namely 125 cc, Moto 2 (600 cc) and MotoGP. Last class is currently limited to 800 cc, but only until 2012 when it will return to 1000 cc capacity. We can say that MotoGP is equivalent to Formula 1 racing cars; motorcycles are designed specifically for racing, without having a counterpart model in series production. Talking about Superbike World Championship or SBK, competitors compete with modified versions of street bikes. For example, in 2010 season, KTM joined with a special version of the 1190 RC8.
MotoGP 09/10
MotoGP 09/10 is the latest in a series of motorcycle games dealing with models specially designed for racing. It was created for PS3 and Xbox 360 by Monumental Games under Capcom. Although he has not received applause all the line, the game has not really rivals. If you do not like FIFA 10, you buy PES 2010, but talking about MotoGP 09/10, SBK is the alternative, a title with another type of two-wheeled vehicles. The four modes offered by MotoGP are Career, Championship, Arcade and Online. In the first mode you start with a 125cc engine and you develop the car and your team throughout the championship so that you can afford to upgrade to Moto 2 class and then further into the MotoGP championship.

In Championship mode, the player can choose motorcycles from 125cc, 250cc classes and MotoGP Championships, with which will participate in 2009 and 2010 in virtual championships. Arcade mode is a race against time. Players must finish the race in a season at a particular class in a time limit. Technique, performance and ranking as good a place bring extra seconds, but setting exits decrease you. In online mode, up to 20 players can compete on the same circuit. MotoGP 09/10 motorcycle game has its problems such as AI inconsistent behavior and engine exaggerated stability in a collision, but is certainly a title that must be tried by fans.
Talking about SBK X, competitors compete with slightly modified versions of street patterns. Fireballs are having 1000 cc engine with two cylinders in V or 750 cc four-cylinder. The championship was covered with three games to 2000, made by EA Sports, but due to low popularity, was dropped to the license. In 2007, the Italian company Black Bean Games, has acquired the license and has made three games SBK: Superbike World Championship. Those in 2008 and 2009 have been ported to all popular gaming platforms. SBK X was launched in late May this year and has 80 motorcycles from manufacturers such as Aprilia, BMW, Ducati.

The low popularity of the championships with two-wheeled racing cars is reflected in the number of games with motorcycles appeared. On the other hand, given the difficulty of simulators, may sometimes scare potential customers. Those from Milestone Games who worked with Black Bean Games SBK X introduced in this last title the possibility of choosing right from the start between arcade mode or simulation mode.
