Reception
MotoGP 2 received generally positive reviews from critics. GameSpot concluded that "[...] MotoGP 2 is a great addition for racing fans who missed the original MotoGP among the sea of more popular launch games such as SSX and Ridge Racer V, and those who do own the original will certainly appreciate all the new changes that this sequel incorporates." IGN said that "MotoGP2 is more like an add-on to the original, with slight tweaks in every category, but retaining the design, feel, and balance of the first." GameSpy summarized: "Challenging superbike races and plenty of variety make MotoGP an enjoyable contest with durable replay value." GameZone said that "[o]verall, the game is definitely a blast to play, but despite the five additional tracks it still gets boring too quickly." GamePro recommended the game "for serious motorcycle sim fans only".
