MotoGP is a 2000 racing video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2. The game is based on Namco's 1998 arcade game 500GP (which was based on the 1998 season) and the company's second MotoGP game. In North America, it was released as a launch title for the PlayStation 2.
MotoGP 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, as well as Gun Koma, a character from Bari Bari Densetsu manga. The game was followed by MotoGP 2 in 2001.
