MotoGP Brings New Focus to Xbox 360
Climax proves again that it's capable of making very, very pretty games. Eye-scorching screens inside.
MotoGP developer Climax spent a lot of time working on the software tools that would help it build next-generation games, and now those tools are being put to use. The studio has finally confirmed that the series that put Climax on the development map is now coming to Xbox 360.
This latest series instalment, MotoGP '06, does for Xbox 360 what Gran Turismo maker Polyphony Digital is hoping to do for PlayStation 2 with Tourist Trophy: it brings the most realistic motorbike racing game possible.
Some of that high-tech behind MotoGP '06 has gone into creating a unique use of depth-of-field, putting the stuff that matters in focus - literally.
MotoGP '06 will be out for Xbox 360 this May in the North America and in Europe. For more on the game, check out the official MotoGP '06 site.
