MotoGP is a racing video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2.

Later games in the series went on to fill out the gaps and became more of a true representation of the seasons they covered.

The first installment is also notable for the inclusion of Klonoa, the titular character of another Namco series, who appears as a playable guest character,[1] as well as Gun Koma, a character from Bari Bari Densetsu manga.

'"[14] Lamchop of GamePro called it "a strong bike sim with great graphics and fast gameplay, and is well worth a weekend rental at the very least.
