Check out PlayStation LifeStyle's MotoGP 17 review to find out if Milestone S.r.l.'s latest racing title is worth buying for fans of motorcycle racing!
Despite its troubles though, in my eyes, MotoGP 17 is the best instalment of Milestone’s MotoGP efforts yet. The Managerial Career really adds a great deal to the package, and the racing itself keeps you on the edge of your seat due to its authenticity.
