The AI of the computer-controlled riders is pretty fair. The difficulty level seems to have more to do with how quickly the riders complete a lap, as opposed to how aggressive or reckless they are. For the most part, the computer riders keep a good racing line, pass realistically, and even wreck on their own occasionally. There is more bumping and grinding than you’d see in a real race, but it doesn’t deter from the race, nor does it impact the outcome.

Once you’ve completed the circuit, you see a celebration video, but that’s it. There is no career mode, meaning you won’t be working your way up the ladder, managing the finances of a team, gaining sponsors, and so forth. With the challenges and variety of difficulty levels, there’s plenty to keep you busy, but there’s not a ton of variety to the game play.

The problem with niche titles is that they’re basically designed to serve a specific market. If you follow the MotoGP circuit, you will greatly enjoy emulating your favorite riders at breakneck speeds making daring maneuvers at tracks all around the world. If you’re just a casual racing fan or motorcycle fan, you won’t find enough variety to keep you interested. MotoGP 07 is a very solid title, but only worth the money for fans of the circuit.
