At the THQ area, they were proudly showing off their incredibly gorgeous Moto GP '06. This title shines bright and controls very well for the Xbox 360. Despite not even being played on a retail console, the demo was enough to satisfy my need for speed.
The staff was quick to note that the demo was only an 80% build, but even so, the polish and detail was nearly perfect. It was very fast and damn near as realistic as a racer can come. The only glaring fault was the initial loading time, but they assured me it was due to the lack of a retail system and the incomplete game.
Moto GP '06 is so realistic, it's almost annoying. You really have keep your speed in check, lest you slide off the track and take a spill head-first into asphalt or dirt. Of course, the remedy for this is a careful thumb and a deep appreciation for the nature of motorcycle racing.
They clarified that the 16-player demo will be hitting Xbox Live tomorrow as well. So limber up those thumbs, you won't be disappointed.
