Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a motorcycle racing simulation game where players create their own rider and compete against the world's best on faithfully recreated real-world tracks. The game focuses on high-speed competition and mastering challenging circuits to win the 2008 season.
Story
Introduction
Like you're up against the greatest riders in the world. Like you're harnessing the fastest bikes on the planet. Like nothing, but nothing can stop you from making the 2008 season your own.
Introduce new heroes of your own creation, give it all and risk it all.
The Tracks
MotoGP™ 08 faithfully recreates the world's most testing motorcycle circuits.
LOSAIL INT. CIRCUIT [COMMERCIAL BANK GRAND PRIX OF QATAR]
Length: 5.38km
5.4 km of gruelling curves in the heat of the Qatar desert make Losail one of the world's most trying circuits. The circuit's long 1km straight allows you to build up some speed but watch out for the quick left-handers which can get the adrenaline pumping.
JEREZ [GRAN PREMIO DE ESPA-A]
Length: 4.423km
The sunny south of Spain is the setting for this circuit. Consistently blue skies, glorious scenery and gigantic grandstands make Jerez a real event. With its variety of straights and turns, the track is often used as a testing ground for MotoGP™ teams.
ESTORIL [GRANDE PREMIO DE PORTUGAL]
Length: 4.192km
One of the most difficult circuits in the series, Estoril combines a tough chicane with long, wide curves to create a set of unique challenges for the riders. Exciting to watch and heart-stopping to race, Estoril makes for one of the highlights of the MotoGP™ calendar.
SHANGHAI CIRCUIT [PRAMAC GRAND PRIX OF CHINA]
Length: 5.281km
This is a state-of-the-art circuit with huge grandstands and the most sophisticated pit and paddock areas on the planet. The circuit itself is easily one of the most thrilling in the series with roller coaster-like twists and turns, and very fast straights.
LE MANS [ALICE GRAND PRIX OF FRANCE]
Length: 4.18km
One of the most famous tracks in the series, the Le Mans track is actually built around the 24 hour track. This is one of the most controlling circuits in MotoGP™ dominated by first gear corners, late braking and hard acceleration.

CAREER
Career mode challenges you to create and develop a new rider over five racing seasons with the aim of becoming the ultimate MotoGP champion. You will be able to choose a team and bike class at the beginning of each season for your customized rider.
As you win races, stronger teams will be interested in recruiting you for the following season. New teams and helmets will become available as your rider progresses.
QUICK RACE
Choose your favorite track, rider, difficulty level, bike class, riding model ('Arcade' to 'Advanced' or 'Simulation'), transmission type, number of laps and weather conditions. Then hit the tarmac and don't look back.
TIME ATTACK
This option challenges you to set the best time at each circuit, competing against yourself to shave vital seconds off your record. Make your selections for circuit and rider then start racing.
You are given the option to have a ghost rider who will appear after the first valid lap you complete. This ghost follows the line taken on your previous fastest lap, enabling you to judge where best to gain time. A ghost displaying your fastest line around each circuit is always available so you can keep chasing and keep improving.
CHAMPIONSHIP
Championship Mode allows the selection of any class, rider and team. It enables you to compete in, and re-create, the 2008 season. Practice and Qualifying modes are optional whilst options including weather, difficulty, number of laps and handling model are available to help you better define the season.
Before each race there is the option to alter the mechanical set-up of your bike. This includes changing tires, suspension settings and gear ratios. You will also be able to check rider standings, see where your rider ranks in the championship and view individual performance statistics. The option of practicing the circuit solo in free practice mode is available.
CHALLENGES
50 unique challenges await the ambitious rider. If you have the nerve to take them on and the skill to see them through, you'll be rewarded with hidden content.
