Moto Racer 3 Review
Installation:
The installation is easy enough, but you are forced to install a video codec during it. The bit that annoyed me with this codec is that I already had it installed, yet it didn’t try to find it. I also had to wait 7 or 8 minutes while it search for instances of Netscape (which I don’t have - and the game doesn’t need).
Review:
Every time you run the game you are presenting with this setup console, which allows you to change most things you would expect. I can safely say that this game comes with enough graphics and controller options to please everyone who looks at them. Unfortunately, the game is not up to the standard I would have expected in graphics for the release date…

Once the splash screen and studio logo marathon finally ends you are treated to a really nice intro sequence that shows just how many different types of two-wheeled wonders you’ll be able to ride in the game, you can view it below. The intro can be skipped in the setup options shown above.
After setting up your player name, helmet, etc (for both online and offline usage), you are taken to the main menu where you select whether you want to race in multiplayer, or solo-play. The menu system has some innovative features and I actually quite like it… It may be different but, it still makes sense (unlike a lot of “innovations”).
You move into the next menu now, where you select the type of racing, the bike you’re going to ride and lastly the type of race/event you want to take part in. This includes circuit racing (similar to Moto GP), motocross and street racing, every race type you could want!
The racing game itself is decent, the graphics and “ok” and the game is worth buying if you’re a bike nut, but for the average guy, or someone who isn’t into two-wheels - it’s not worth the money. The physics are horribly simple and easy to learn the flaws of and the sound seems just plain weird. Unfortunately I have to be pretty offensive to the developers here and say that really - that’s all there is to say about their game…
