    Moto GP 3 continues Climax tradition of superb motorcycle racing games and gives the PC possibly the best racing game of the year for the platform, ironic considering it’s not a car game.

    Crisp, sharp, bike-racing fun. Could use more real-world marques though. [Oct 2005, p.96]

    The new extreme tracks are a welcome addition, and the game looks as good as ever. The AI drivers are a bit too harsh when it comes to collisions and ramming the player off the track. [Nov 2005]

    If you can master the controls, you'll find a rich, rewarding racer here, one that gives a thrilling sensation of speed and as much edgy, adrenaline-filled action as you could ask for. [PC Gamer UK]

    Fans of racing games should look at picking this up, regardless of how many wheels they usually prefer to race on.

    The Paris Hilton of motorcycle racers: rich, pretty, but a little too easy. [Nov 2005, p.72]

    Unfortunately, the PC version of the game doesn't have the same online support and tight control that made the Xbox version so great, but at $20 it's an acceptable alternative for racing fans.

    It's damn fast, damn detailed, and with the added newbiefriendly Extreme Mode, it should ensure the bike game market is cornered for another year. It's doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it is does make it go round very, very fast. [PC Zone]

    As smooth and exhilarating a ride as it ever was… MotoGP 3 remains a strong, solid outing for those who enjoy a thoroughly analogue play experience as well as fans of motorbike racing. [Oct 2005, p.98]

    It is a pity, for it is a would-be 'great' game, and on the Xbox would be reasonably scored as such. But, on a PC, the complexity of the default controls and the horrors of the PC keyboard for this kind of thing force the mark down to a mere 'very good'.

    an arcade game masquerading as a simulation. [Dec p.63]

    Motogp has been my best game since I played motogp 2 three yrs back. But motogp 3 has brought more of the reality to the game. Even the Motogp has been my best game since I played motogp 2 three yrs back. But motogp 3 has brought more of the reality to the game. Even the gameplay is really good and it's probably based on motogp 2005. All the player bikes are the same as that of motogp 2005. It is the game.… Full Review »
