Critic Reviews

49 GameZone
There is very little variety of music, the sound effects are laughable, and the sense of speed is just not there. The only good thing about this game is the track editor and it is one of the better-looking games available.
40 AceGamez
A chore to play, offering endurance rather than time killing gameplay. The graphics are rushed, the sound is a pain and the controls are abysmal, while the racing is lacklustre and so not very rewarding.

When the AI can’t even play the game correctly, then something is obviously wrong. This game just shows that THQ is exploring new and more exciting ways to make bad games for everyone.
40 Electronic Gaming Monthly
With controls limited to accelerate, brake, turn left, and turn right, there isn't much depth to the gameplay (fancy wheelies are a no-go), but the biggest problem is that you can cut across huge swathes of grass and hardly lost any speed. [Nov 2003, p.37]
33 Gaming Age
It has plenty of modes to play in and the multiplayer is great, but the controls are too slippery to make it a must have.
30 GMR Magazine
The graphics are weak, and it doesn't control well. [Aug 2004, p.95]
30 IGN
Aside from multiplayer and the simple track editor, there is little excitement to be found due to its lack of variety, poor sense of speed and frustrating controls.
30 GamePro
The graphics lack depth and a sense of speed. Headaches and sore eyes will be your reward if you actually try to perceive MotoGP’s third dimension.
20 Game Power Australia
To call MotoGP a racing game is to insult the racing genre. How such a remarkably bad product slipped through THQ's quality assurance testing may forever remain a mystery.
20 GameSpy
Even "Pole Position," with flat tracks, rudimentary controls, and blocky graphics, didn't make me want to pull my ears off with atrocious, emanating sounds. And, darn it all, it was fun. I wish I could say the same for MotoGP.
20 Pocket Games
Terrible control kills this decent-looking motorcycle racer. [Spring 2004, p.18]
