Crossing racing types all the way from street racing to the slightly tedious trials and motocross is a difficult task I suppose, but if you aren't up to the challenge, then don't start. But none of these modes are done well enough or extensively enough for you to really be able to sink your teeth into them. Each of the modes of play is kind of fun. It's like McDonalds trying to make salads, rib sandwiches, chicken, fish, and whatever other McFood they pawn on you with everything involved suffering for the lack of specialization. This isn't to say that the game is terrible, because it isn't, but it tries to be too many things. basically there was never a feeling of immediacy to win like you would find in Superbike 2001. Every race is something different you never feel like you're striving to keep up with a couple of the computer-controlled racers in particular. Perhaps the worst thing about this way of unlocking tracks is that it isn't based on any career mode or championship mode of play. There's really not that much left for me to do at this point, which is fine because I really don't have any interest in trying. I played through every track in every category of racing and placed first in easy, medium, and hard in almost all of them. I unlocked everything in a day without too much effort on my part. Like most racing games out there, you'll need to race through the various tracks that are given to you at the beginning of the game to open up locked content like other tracks and bike options. Once past those oversights, you'll get into a game that seems to have been shoved out the door a little too soon. And after you're all done with that, you have a bunch of long load times to look forward to getting in and out of games. Deciding you need to turn down some detail or move a button to a new place on your gamepad or keyboard is more of a chore than anything else. There're some very basic graphics adjustment bars during a game and some sound sliders, but advanced configuration or sound, graphics, or controls in game is impossible and therefore, more than a little frustrating. They don't actually give you the option anywhere in the menu system for some reason. In order to fix your controls for the game, you have to exit and restart. Menus are boring and actually configuring your setup is sloppy. The basic setup to Moto Racer 3 is pretty lackluster. The ideas behind Moto Racer 3 are good, but in the attempt to mix all kinds of motorcycle racing games into one product, they seem to have left out a lot of the fun. You'll need to search for them, but eventually you'll find games like Superbike 2001, Motocross Madness 2, and now Moto Racer 3.
When you scurry down to your local games dealer looking for a PC game among the crowded shelves, chances are, you aren't going to find a whole lot of motorcycle racing games.
