The way these changes are made can be done manually, a la Forza Motorsport, or in a nice touch, you can tell the engineer what’s wrong via a collection of stock phrases, and he will adjust the bike based on what you say. Tweaking the setup can help tremendously, and you’ll fast discover that stiffening the suspension will enable you to lean a lot more quickly, whilst fiddling with gear ratios ensures you will be faster out of the bends. On my bog standard bike I was about 2 seconds off the pace, so this is a very difficult game. These can be as simple as passing a certain point on the track above 205km/h, for instance, or as complicated as not only hitting 70% of the ideal lines on a circuit, but also completing a lap in a certain time. Throughout practice you will have tasks given to you by the engineers, which if completed give you research points to spend on developing the bike. Yet even when reaching a race weekend, the work doesn’t stop. Quick races, Time Trials and more are on offer, and should you just need a quick blast of two wheeled speed, these are ideal. Before I get onto that, the Quick Events option does pretty much what it says on the tin, allowing you to just get out there on your two wheeled steed and mix it up on the track. Even creating a public lobby and waiting results in nothing, so I can only deduce that everyone is having too much fun in the in-depth Career mode. Milestone games are usually popular, leading to well-populated online lobbies, but this time around it’s like the Marie Celeste, with nary an opponent to be found. You see, that’s mainly because there doesn’t seem to be anybody else in the world playing MotoGP 21.
These are Quick Events, such as Time Trials, Career and Multiplayer I’d like to focus on the latter first. Now, from the main menu there are three main areas you can explore. With the ink barely dry on the certificate of bike riding proficiency, it is all about getting involved in the meat of the game. Automatic braking is also a possibility, and depending on your skill levels turning these helpful additions off will result in a nasty case of gravel rash. A pair of stabilisers hasn’t been coded in to MotoGP 21, however it’s good to see your line through the corners being picked up. Each task that you attempt allows the game to build an idea of how good you are as a rider, giving the opportunity for it to suggest certain aids and assistances that it thinks you need. This is a fantastic place to start, as it takes you through each section of the game, such as cornering, braking and more, asking you to perform certain tasks. Now, I am to motorcycle racing what Mr Bean is to alpine ski-jumping, so luckily the first thing to greet players upon firing up MotoGP 21 is a very in-depth tutorial.
