MotoGP is the first of Namco's MotoGP games. It is based on the arcade game 500GP released the year prior. The game is based on the 1999 season, although only four of the tracks from that season (and Suzuka Circuit, which was removed from that season's calendar) are featured. 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.[2]
David Chen of NextGen said: "It's fast and in-depth enough to satisfy the armchair 500cc-class racer, but it certainly doesn't fit the bill of 'fun for the whole gang.'"[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."[16][b]
