    MotoGP 3's main fault, if you can call it that, is that the game is all too similar to "MotoGP 2." [Apr 2003, p.27]

    A true career mode is needed to help flesh this collection of tracks out. [Apr 2003, p.85]
  5. Sadly, your competitors behave like drones, slaves to the racing line. When a rider glances over at you, your presence has not really been registered.

Some new animation and options are there and some extra tracks but for the most part it's a retool. In my opinion I'd rather own this game over the last because the bikes pretty much behave identically but it is also apparent this game has at least some better production values. Full Review »
