Here's my vote for a full PS3 Tourist Trophy with 20 bike on track, online play, on actual GP and classic tracks. Woot!
I bought MotoGP 4 for PS2 when I got Tourist Trophy. The graphics aren't quite as realistic, and the physics aren't quite as realistic, but the bike handling is more real (you can actually highside, or wash the front just by pushing too hard...you don't need some crazy hill crest to do it, like in TT)...the sound is VERY realistic...feel like I'm back at Laguna Seca every time I play it. Also the bike models, skins, and even the tachometer displayed on-screen in 3rd person mode are identical to the real machines run in MotoGP (each bike model has it's own tach that mimics the real bike's), and each bike sounds authentic. Also the gameplay is just plain addictive. Full grid of real 04 season MotoGP riders and bikes and tracks, and the competition is stiff even in easy mode. They'll take different lines to pass you or shut the door on a pass...the AI is great. It's like a high-speed arcade physics realistic bike handling racer...TONS of fun drifting the back end out into a corner and sliding it around a tad on the power after the apex...the throttle and brake are much more sensitive than in TT, as well...meaning it's much easier to have good throttle control, which is also much more neccissary. Definately worth a buy, or at least a rent. Full-season full-length races for 125 through 990cc classes, all with real riders, leathers, helmets and stuff...nothing like following along to the real championship with warmup, quali, and a full-length race at the tracks they just raced in real life with most of the same racers. Good stuff, and the graphics are very high-quality with good effects and stuff, just not quite as photorealistic as TT. It's probably the most overlooked motorcycle game I've ever played.
So...my vote for you guys at least trying to rent it. I think it's the best game in the series so far...MotoGP 2 had realistic physics, but the AI and gameplay suffered, MotoGP 3 was way too arcade-ish, but this one is great...very fast paced.
So...that's my review/novel.
