Probably the biggest enhancement players will notice about MRW is that while there are fewer tracks on offer in comparison to its predecessor, the courses are no longer 'made up'; they are based on real life tracks. This will no doubt attract more of a simulation audience for this latest instalment of the series who want to take a crack at winning in Sachenring, Suzuka or the Isle of Man. There are also more Moto X tracks too, set in various countries around the world including America, Great Britain and Spain. Each of these tracks appear to be modelled after their true life counterparts, which should please those racing fans who love authenticity (in fact this game does for cycling what TOCA: World Touring Cars did for touring car racing).

The developers have added a number of modes to try out, some of which need to be unlocked by winning the various championships. There are the usual time trials and competition racing, but there are also more original efforts such as the freestyle mode (player must do stunts during the race) and drag racing (just race in a straight line and be the first to the finish!). There is also a feature called traffic mode which reminds me a little of the Need for Speed series of racing games, in which the player must compete against one opponent and race through the streets avoiding other automobiles along the way. I still preferred the good old circuit racing, but at least the option is there (once you have unlocked all the tracks of course).
