    If you were a fan of Moto Racer 1, don’t believe the bad reviews: this game is awesome!

    I’ve read complaints that you have to unlock heaps of the game’s content in career mode before you can enjoy it in a quick race. That’s exactly what the original was like, so it’s a plus in my opinion. I like having to earn my fun. I’ve read complaints that it’s really challenging to win races on the highest difficulty. Again that’s exactly like the original where you needed a near perfect race to say ahead of the competition. I enjoy getting to know the tracks like the back of my hand in order to eek out an extra 0.05s improvement on my last time. I’ve read complaints that in split screen, there aren’t many game modes other than beating the other riders or racing against the clock. Once again, it’s exactly like the original which only had races and time trials.

    The reviewers will tell you to stay away if you were a fan of the originals, but it appears many of the reviewers either never played the original or they have bad memories. There are the hallmarks of MR1 all over this title, it’s like a remake for the current generation.

    My only issues are that the graphics aren’t great for a 4th gen console, and that your peripheral vision is cut down in split screen mode making it hard to navigate through tight corners that you can’t see around. However, if you can get past the sub-par graphics, which I quickly did, you’ll find there’s a whole lot of nostalgia combined with a heap of fun game play.

    Moto Racer 1 is my all-time favourite video game, and I feel like this is absolutely a worthy successor.    … Expand

    Moto Racer 4 is a prime example of a missed opportunity. The gameplay is enjoyable in small bursts, but it’s packaged in such a terrible way that it becomes hard to recommend even to longtime fans of the series. With some extra polish and a different structure it could’ve been a surprisingly fun throwback package, but in its current state it reeks of being rushed to release.

    Entirely unremarkable. [Issue#182, p.81]

    Moto Racer 4 is the return of a franchise. The game starts out nicely, but quickly loses its charm. The same tracks keep returning and the career mode is no career mode. And with the illogical elements in the game it's no more than a mediocre racer.
