Abit of a let down........2007-01-18

I followed every race of this season and it was the most nailbighting exciting racing for years. Unfortunately the DVD does not capture this. The commentary is competent but uninspiring.
Many important events have been excluded from the racing and fairly innocuos footage used.
DUKE have missed by a mile with this one, especially in comparison to other producers of similar DVDs out there. Notably the BSB 2006 season review.
Duke need to put far more effort and content into these now as the goal posts have moved and I for one expect more for my hard earned.
This should have been a two disc format with the extras which are now the norm.
Lets hope DUKE can take front row on the grid next time or they will find new kids on the block showing up more and more of ther failings.

The hardest DVD to make ever???.......2007-01-03

After such an incredible season this highlights DVD must have been one of the hardest to make ever. How can you fit all that happened (and another reviewer, Hodge, summises it pretty succinctly) into one disk? Even a three-hour long DVD equates to less than 10 minutes per race, and even less when the annoying MotoGP ditty/chapter-intro sequence is taken into account.

Add the fact that the editors were probably under massive time pressure to rush this out for Christmas, so little boys could give it to their Daddies (like mine did...!), then there probably wasn't much time available.

So, considering this, I think the end product is a pretty good record of the season, although it understandably misses out some bits or fails to emphasis certain areas (for example, not much coverage of Troy Bayliss in round 17, as they're too busy showing Hayden, so you don't quite get the correct impression of Troy's dominance) and does become disjointed at times - for example, you might see one rider overtake another then immediately the action cuts to 4 laps further on and the same is inexplicably behind again!

I'm happy with it, though, and will watch it again and again.

Disappointing..........2006-12-19

First of all, I own all of the previous season reviews, so naturally I bought this one to add to my collection. 2006 was one of the best seasons in the history of MotoGP or GP 500, but this season review doesn't really reflect this.

The commentators are not the Eurosport team that have featured in the last few years, this instantly knocked one star off for me, plus the fact that the really annoying MotoGP musical ident divides every section of this review.

In short, whilst this DVD is not terrible by any means, it is nowhere as good as it might have been. It is also not as good as the Formula 1 2006 review.

Nail Biting.......2006-12-15

How can anyone ignore the closest finish in years.
Nicky "Mr Consistancy" Hayden vs Valentino "Anything my bke can do, i can do better" Rossi. But a video doesn't do this season justice. Does it show Marco Melandri fulfilling potential pre-injury?? Does it show how Dani Pedrosa nearly made everyone look like amateurs, does it show Loris being as close as can be and yet.... so far. And last race, how good is TROY!!!!
