5.0 out of 5 stars fun, solid, balanced gameplay, March 6, 2006

This review is from: Moto GP 3 (CD-ROM)

i have recently played the demo, and i must say i was amazed.
The whole experience is great. The graphics are great. They focus on the bike and the environment and as you get to fast speeds,the whole landscape blurs.
i found the gameplay, which is the most important part of most games, to be solid. When you take care into executing the turns, you tend to do a lot better. But when you rush through them, you usually end up crashing into another rider, then flying off of your bike, or skiding off the course.
There is always a concern that the pc lacks the amount of control that consoles do because of the lack of controllers. This is easily solved. I purchased the Nyko AirFlow conroller at best buy for 20 bucks, and it works GREAT with the PC.There might be even better options as well.
There are two types of gameplay, that totally balance the game. There is the gand prix mode which offers more tight turns and more precise gameplay, while the three extreme classes offer a more arcade genre of gameplay with higher speeds and bigger turns. I found both of these options to be extremely fun.
AS far as content, there are plenty of motorcycle racers, and about 30 courses (15 for each grand prix and extreme.) There is the quick race option, career mode, time trial races, and internet and split screen multiplayer. The demo did not have career, or split screen, but i am excited to get the game for such a cheap price and enjoy this game even more. An excellent game experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME GAME FOR NOT MUCH $$, December 17, 2006

I got this game at Fry's for 9.99 and it's great! At first I was lost with the controls until I finally got them setup just right, but note: You need to get a gamepad like the PS2's for your computer, you can get them for about $20, a must have for some PC games like this one. You can change views until you find the right one(the one that doesn't make the screen go to and fro like being on a boat!). The sense of speed is just marvelous and gives an appreciation for the skill of these riders, going 165+ on a bike is very dangerous, but rewarding. GET THIS GAME if you like racing games!

I have a really slow computer with no graphic card, but for some reason this game runs incredibly fast and has no glitches or loading issues. For any motorcycle fun, you'll see that the tracks are very realistic
