Capcom has confirmed details on its forthcoming title MotoGP 07.

MotoGP 07 is being developed by Italian developer Milestone, "a company with a proven track record and passion for producing high quality racing games for console and PC". MotoGP 07 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 2 in Spring.

As an officially licensed MotoGP title, the game will feature all the riders, bikes, teams and tracks from the 2007 season. Players can faithfully re-create the rivalries and competition synonymous with the premier motorcycling championship as they ride for glory. Compete in a full season, create your own customised season, or select a one-off race either on your own or against a friend.

"Whether gamers are new to the racing genre, fans of four-wheeled racers looking for a new challenge or veterans of motorcycle games, the diverse handling models of MotoGP 07 will allow players of varied skill levels to access and enjoy the adrenaline fuelled world of MotoGP," says Capcom.

Features such as riding aids will provide newcomers to the series with the confidence to push their bikes to the limit. Players will have the option to independently control front and rear brakes as well as the rider’s position as they enter and exit the tightest of hairpins inches from the tarmac, before stepping on the gas to reach speeds of well over 300km/h. Players can also adjust the AI of their race opponents, modifying speed and ability to match their own riding level and create a more balanced race.

Featuring a comprehensive set of 100 trials, each available at three difficulty levels, MotoGP 07’s Challenge Mode will test and hone players’ skills. Events include slalom challenges where players' handling abilities are put to the test as they navigate a series of gates placed the length of the circuit and time trials which challenge players to beat the lap record for each circuit.

• Riders and their bikes, teams and all 18 official tracks from the 2007 season faithfully and painstakingly re-created
• Unique Game modes including - Championship / Quick race / Time Attack / Challenges/ Multiplayer
