Racing onto the Xbox Live Marketplace this morning is a new 377MB MotoGP 08 demo. And we wish we could tell you some information about the demo or what's included prior to your download, but Capcom has only given us "Download this demo" descriptor text. No matter, we figure MotoGP fanboys will insta-download the demo and those who aren't interested will turn their nose up in demo disgust.

does the demo include single and multiplayer or just one or the other?

Unlike previous years, this demo only has single player.

I like the idea of the "Arcade" type sensitivity of one of the control schemes. I wish it was even more arcade like though. I never found simulator-racing games fun. Slowing down before turns is boring!! I would be out riding my Ninja 500R right now if it wasn't for the damn snow in NY.

I like the way X3F has the moto GP 08 banner linking to the xbox.com download for extra convenience,
I tried the demo and you can see a huge difference from the previous two games in terms of graphics and handling like in the riders outfits and braking is real smooth, but there isnt a lot to be excited about unless your really into the real life Moto GP circuit. the last 2 games looked like they were running at 60 frames per second while this one looks like 30.

I really liked the last couple games, but unless this one does something really innovative, I'll probably just pass it on by.

This one is FAR better than the Previous THQ releases. It seems Capcom could actually bring life into this dying genre. I'm A HUGE MotoGP fan (ROSSI!) And appreciate the game's intricacies. I'm glad it's being picked up by a new developer. The realism modes add a little extra challenge - despite the lowsides are more frequent than they would be in real life...
