THQ's critically acclaimed MotoGP series will return this year with MotoGP '07 for Xbox 360. The previous instalment in the high-octane racing series was also an Xbox 360 exclusive and there looks to be no signs that the game is moving platforms.

The latest instalment will feature the complete 2007 MotoGP season, including the newly-announced Misano event, and an improved "race day" experience, said to capture the excitement and spectacle of a live MotoGP event.

MotoGP '07 will also include all-new bikes (800cc), tracks and enhanced customisation options building on the Extreme mode which enables players to race on city streets the world over. In addition to a comprehensive single-player game, MotoGP '07 will feature a rich online game with tournaments and online pink-slip racing.

Expect to see much more of MotoGP '07 as its autumn release approaches, including details on who will be handling development - series veteran Climax had its racing studio acquired by Buena Vista Games in September 2006.
