Hi all

I know we have a bunch of people who picked up the recent US release of SBK-X.

I'm wondering: Did any of you play MotoGP 08 also from the same dev team, and how would you compare those two?

Personally, I'm finding myself thinking to go back to MG08. I really like the look of it better - not only are the bikes and drivers more colorful and more my personal interest, but also the environment seems more serious. And I simple like the tracks a lot more... Sepang and Valencia, also Laguna Seca are sorely missing (realistically) in SBK. And of course the FSAA works well in MotoGP since I don't have to stretch 1980 to 19200 pixels...

SBK-X has a tad more "complicated" handling - for example less allowable front-braking in a turn - but that may be a real-life difference between MotoGP Tech and SBK Tech.

Yet it's a shame that the coolest features are all in SBKX - dynamic racing line, full qualifying sessions, engineer/setups...

I wish we had a hyprid of SBK-X features with MotoGP tracks and bikes. Be curious to hear what you guys thought of both titles.

I'm a Superbike series guy from way back to the original which was published by EA. I did try three of the MotoGP series. They were fun but felt like arcade style in comparison to the SBK series. I won't buy the MotoGP series again.
