![]() ![]() MXGP = National tracks, with a small practice compound but basically all tracks but the details in them will be very polished. MX vs ATV: Arcade (With some tricks and can do flips) - More accessible for all. MXGP: Simcade (More realistic except no tricks/flips) - May feel less user friendly 3,499 on PS4 and Xbox One ($60 in the US).I obviously can't speak for an un-released game, so everything will be comparing ALL OUT to the gurrent MXGP/MESX games available. We played a review copy of MXGP3 on the PS4. It’s almost hostile towards new players or those who don’t follow Motocross, but if you take the time to learn how to play, then the game does reward you. Overall, MXGP3 is a game that will please hardcore Motocross fans who want a simulation racing game. Issues like these were quite surprising to see. We also saw other bikes’ tyres landing on our rider’s back with no effect. A few times we saw the front tire of our bike landing on another rider’s back but he just rode on as if it was a feather and not a heavy motorcycle landing on him. There were also a few other elements that made us wonder how realistic the game actually is. On the other hand, there were no noticeable performance issues even with 22 bikes on screen, which is a good thing. The tracks don’t look great and the motorcycle graphics also are a bit dated. While MXGP3 is all gung-ho on realism, the graphics are quite average. You can tweak your motorcycle before every race and that’s a great feature because the riding experience changes significantly, and can mean the difference between winning and losing. Then you can go into more detail, such as tweaking the front and rear suspensions for certain tracks. For instance, you can change the gear ratio to long for tracks with long straights, or make it short for courses with a lot of hairpin bends. You can also spend time tweaking your motorcycle to suit the track. If you’re a fan of Motocross, there’s a tonne of content here to keep you occupied for hours. The single-player mode includes a full career, apart from individual races and championships. MXGP3 has a lot of tracks and different riders - all official Motocross racers - to choose from. Keeping your concentration levels up on twisting tracks is quite the task. This is exactly why the game rewards you with 50 percent additional credits for a five-lap race, when compared with a three-lap race. ![]() Even at the lowest difficulty setting, winning races was quite the challenge initially, as one minor mistake would end up costing us a lot of time. We’d be zipping across the straight at around 100kmph and then find ourselves flying off track, resulting in a crash. For instance, on one of the tracks we kept crashing at one point where a hairpin bend appears right after a slope, which is at the end of a long straight. MXGP3 requires intense concentration - much like actual Motocross racing - and there is a very low margin for error. This is definitely not a high-speed racing game. That said, if you are willing to invest the time required to learn how to properly race a motorcycle in off-road tracks with some nasty turns, MXGP3 can be quite rewarding.Īfter a while, we had figured out a few basic things. This is very much a simulation racing game, and that means that there is a steep learning curve for those who want to play. ![]() This is made clear by the fact that MXGP3 lacks an arcade mode - where motorcycle physics and advanced controls don’t matter much. This is a game built for a niche audience, and one that only Motocross fans will enjoy. A series of tutorial levels would’ve been really nice. This made learning harder than it should’ve been. There is only one screen full of screenshots and text explanations. There is no tutorial level to help new players out, and no explanations to help you to get interested in it. If you’re expecting high-speed motorcycle racing on flat tracks, you need to check out the MotoGP series of games instead.Īs much as we wanted to get into Motocross racing, MXGP3 did a very poor job of getting us interested in the sport. The dirt tracks feature several hairpin bends and lots of small inclines and slopes. Motocross is essentially a bunch of bikes racing on closed, off-road tracks. There isn’t much of a Motocross following in India, but that didn’t stop us from trying MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame. ![]()
